About

The Artifact Of The Devious is a boss drop obtained from defeating the Broodmother in The Island's boss arena. It serves as a key item for accessing certain high-level crafting recipes and summoning the Manticore boss.

Spawn it with its GFI code or numeric ID. This artifact does not have a blueprint and cannot be stacked, so each instance takes one inventory slot. On servers where boss farming is restricted, spawning artifacts directly is often the practical way to test recipes or unlock progression without running the fight.

Does the Artifact Of The Devious spawn command work in single-player and multiplayer?

How do I spawn the Artifact Of The Devious in ARK: Survival Ascended?
Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemArtifact_04 1 0 0. That gives you one Artifact Of The Devious instantly. The three numbers after the code are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag. Raise the first to spawn a stack, or set the last to 1 to receive it as a blueprint instead of a finished item. Verified against the current ARK: ASA build as of June 28, 2026.
How do I spawn the Artifact Of The Devious as a blueprint instead of a finished item?
Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItemArtifact_04 1 0 1. The last number is the blueprint flag, where 0 gives the crafted item and 1 gives its blueprint (for craftable items; on items with no blueprint the flag is simply ignored).
Is the Artifact Of The Devious spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?
Yes. The Artifact Of The Devious's class name, GFI code, item ID, and blueprint path are reproduced exactly from the live game data and re-checked each patch, so you can copy them straight into your console.
How do I spawn multiple Artifact Of The Devious at once?
Change the quantity argument, the first number after the code. For example cheat gfi PrimalItemArtifact_04 25 0 0 spawns 25 of the Artifact Of The Devious. Stacks respect the item's maximum stack size.
Why isn't my Artifact Of The Devious spawn command working?
Check three things: admin access is enabled (enablecheats on servers), the code is typed exactly (PrimalItemArtifact_04), and all three trailing numbers are present. Copying cheat gfi PrimalItemArtifact_04 1 0 0 directly from this page avoids the most common mistakes.
How do I add the Artifact Of The Devious to a starter kit or loadout?
Include cheat gfi PrimalItemArtifact_04 1 0 0 in your server's kit or spawn script, and set the quantity argument to hand out multiples. Pair it with other item commands from the Codex to build a full loadout.
How do I spawn a higher-quality Artifact Of The Devious?
The second number is quality, where 0 is primitive and higher values roll toward ascendant. cheat gfi PrimalItemArtifact_04 1 100 0 attempts a top tier Artifact Of The Devious. Quality only affects items that support tiers; on others it's ignored.
What's the full blueprint path of the Artifact Of The Devious?
The full blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Artifacts/PrimalItemArtifact_04.PrimalItemArtifact_04'". Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Artifacts/PrimalItemArtifact_04.PrimalItemArtifact_04'" 1 0 0. Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.
What's the difference between the Artifact Of The Devious GFI code and its blueprint path?
The GFI code PrimalItemArtifact_04 is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Artifacts/PrimalItemArtifact_04.PrimalItemArtifact_04'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools.
