Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get the Artifact Of The Shadows without spawning it?

Yes. The Artifact Of The Shadows can also be obtained through normal ARK: Survival Ascended progression. Admins usually spawn it for speed when testing, running events, or outfitting players, which is what the commands on this page are for.

How do I spawn multiple Artifact Of The Shadows at once?

Change the quantity argument, the first number after the code. For example cheat gfi PrimalItemArtifactAB_2 25 0 0 spawns 25 of the Artifact Of The Shadows. Stacks respect the item's maximum stack size.

What is the GFI code for the Artifact Of The Shadows?
