About

The Artifact Of The Lost is a story artifact found within the Aberration underground caverns. Collecting it progresses your tribe through the map's narrative and unlocks access to the Aberration boss arena.

If you need to hand out copies to tribe members or reset progression on your server, spawn it using its GFI code. It does not stack, and there is no blueprint variant, only the artifact itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I add the Artifact Of The Lost to a starter kit or loadout?
Include cheat gfi PrimalItemArtifactAB_4 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 multiple Artifact Of The Lost at once?
Change the quantity argument, the first number after the code. For example cheat gfi PrimalItemArtifactAB_4 25 0 0 spawns 25 of the Artifact Of The Lost. Stacks respect the item's maximum stack size.
When was the Artifact Of The Lost data last updated?
The Artifact Of The Lost entry was last verified on GameServersCodex on June 28, 2026. We track the live ARK: ASA build, so the IDs and commands here reflect the current patch.
What is the class name for the Artifact Of The Lost?

What's the difference between the Artifact Of The Lost GFI code and its blueprint path?
The GFI code PrimalItemArtifactAB_4 is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Artifacts/PrimalItemArtifactAB_4.PrimalItemArtifactAB_4'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Artifact Of The Lost.
Does the Artifact Of The Lost spawn command work in single-player and multiplayer?
Yes, the command is identical in both. Single-player has cheats enabled by default; multiplayer just requires an admin login first. The Artifact Of The Lost then spawns the same way.
What does the Artifact Of The Lost do in ARK: Survival Ascended?
A quest artifact from the Aberration map used to unlock the Aberration boss fight and progression.
What is the GFI code for the Artifact Of The Lost?
The GFI code for the Artifact Of The Lost is PrimalItemArtifactAB_4. GFI matches the item by its short blueprint name, so cheat gfi PrimalItemArtifactAB_4 1 0 0 is the fastest way to spawn it without typing the full blueprint path.
What do the numbers in the Artifact Of The Lost spawn command mean?
In cheat gfi PrimalItemArtifactAB_4 1 0 0, the code identifies the Artifact Of The Lost, then the three numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag (0 = item, 1 = blueprint). So it spawns one standard Artifact Of The Lost.
Why isn't my Artifact Of The Lost spawn command working?
Check three things: admin access is enabled (enablecheats on servers), the code is typed exactly (PrimalItemArtifactAB_4), and all three trailing numbers are present. Copying cheat gfi PrimalItemArtifactAB_4 1 0 0 directly from this page avoids the most common mistakes.
What is the blueprint path for the Artifact Of The Lost?
The full blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Artifacts/PrimalItemArtifactAB_4.PrimalItemArtifactAB_4'". Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Artifacts/PrimalItemArtifactAB_4.PrimalItemArtifactAB_4'" 1 0 0. Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.
Can I spawn the Artifact Of The Lost over RCON or on a dedicated server?
Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItemArtifactAB_4 1 0 0. If your tool already runs with admin context, drop the leading "cheat". It works the same on hosted, self-hosted, and RCON setups.
How do I spawn the Artifact Of The Lost as a blueprint instead of a finished item?
Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItemArtifactAB_4 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).
How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Artifact Of The Lost?
In single-player, cheats are on by default. On a dedicated or hosted server, log in as admin first with enablecheats <AdminPassword>, then run the Artifact Of The Lost spawn command. Without admin access the console rejects it.
How do I spawn a higher-quality Artifact Of The Lost?
The second number is quality, where 0 is primitive and higher values roll toward ascendant. cheat gfi PrimalItemArtifactAB_4 1 100 0 attempts a top tier Artifact Of The Lost. Quality only affects items that support tiers; on others it's ignored.
