In-game system guide
Lord of Mysteries Sealed Artifacts Guide
Sealed Artifacts unlock at level 29 and act as the game's accessory slot: each one grants a distinct power and a matching drawback. This guide covers every offensive and defensive artifact reachable in the opening days, how to unlock each, which to run for each role, and how the upgrade layers on top of them work.
What Is a Sealed Artifact?
The Sealed Artifact system opens at level 29, and on day one only two kinds are available: offensive (攻击封印物) and defensive (防御封印物) artifacts.
Normal Sealed Artifacts work much like accessories. Equipping different artifacts gives your character different passive or active skills, producing various buffs or damage in combat. Only some normal artifacts are unlocked early on; the rest open up one by one as you play further.
Special Sealed Artifacts exist to unlock system features, and every one of them is drawn from the novel — for example 2-049, the Antigonus family doll, the Church of the Evernight Goddess artifact that appears in the novel's first volume. Special artifacts do not need to be unlocked deliberately; they open automatically when your progress reaches fixed milestones.

Full Artifact Reference (English)
Every entry from the Chinese table above, in English. Each artifact lists its Beyonder power at base values, its drawback, how to unlock it, and the roles and modes it suits.
All twelve share one further drawback, so it is stated once rather than repeated: Rejection (排异): every 30 seconds in combat, one random Beyonder Substance affix on the artifact stops working.
Offensive Sealed Artifacts (攻击封印物)
Lucky Clover 幸运草
- Beyonder power
-
Favour (眷顾): When the wearer uses a basic attack or a non-cleanse skill, there is a chance to trigger Luck for 10 seconds: each stack grants +2.5% movement speed, +24 critical, and +5 skill enhancement. If Luck does not trigger, the chance accumulates into the next skill cast until it does. The trigger chance falls as you hold more Luck stacks — 25% at the start, reaching 0% at 5 stacks.
- Drawback
-
Withering (枯竭): When Luck ends, the wearer is Fatigued for 4 seconds: −20% movement speed and −20% stamina recovery, and Luck cannot trigger during it.
- How to unlock
Granted automatically once the Sealed Artifact system unlocks. Day 1
- Suits
All classes — PvE (trash clearing)
Notarial Certificate 公证书
- Beyonder power
-
Notarisation (公证): When the bearer casts a normal or finisher skill in combat, that skill is automatically notarised: an 80% / 10% chance to succeed for 1 / 2 stacks respectively, and a 10% chance to fail and lose 1 stack. Each stack gives the bearer +2.5 attack and +0.5 skill enhancement, up to 40 stacks. Stacks generated beyond the cap are consumed immediately, each raising that cast's damage bonus by 10% and its healing bonus by 10%. All stacks clear when you leave the area.
- Drawback
-
Perjury (伪证罪): When notarisation fails, that cast's damage bonus is reduced by 60% and its healing bonus by 60%.

All classes — PvE (boss fights)
Death Knell 丧钟
- Beyonder power
-
Weakness Strike (弱点攻击): Attacking your primary target applies Weakness Exposure, up to 1 stack per second and 30 stacks total. Every 15 stacks consumed lets you pull the Death Knell's trigger: your attack strikes the target's spirit body for 1,373 damage, reduces the healing it receives by 70% for 3 seconds and its movement speed by 90% for 1 second, with a further 60% base chance to stun for 1 second. If the target is in Super Armor, it is re-applied with 5 stacks of Weakness Exposure instead.
- Drawback
-
Spirituality Infusion (灌注灵性): Pulling the trigger costs 20 stamina. If you have less than 20, your stamina is emptied and cannot recover for the next 2 seconds.
Weakness Backlash (弱点反噬): For 3 seconds after using the Death Knell you cannot apply further Weakness Exposure, and you take 5% more damage during it.

Soul Herding (放牧灵魂): After attacking your primary target for a sustained period you can strip its soul out at your feet. Touching the soul within 10 seconds devours it, with effects depending on whose soul it was. Devouring a Beyonder's soul: deals 1,399 damage and imprisons the soul, granting you one skill from its Sequence — Warrior: Dawn Armour (黎明铠甲); Bard: Solar Oath (太阳誓约); Apprentice: Nebula Aria (星云咏叹); Spectator: Psychological Suggestion (心理暗示); Seer: Mysterious Realm (诡秘之境); Mystery Pryer: Starlight Cage (星光囚笼). Using the granted skill releases that soul. As Squirming Hunger's danger rank rises, the granted skills scale with it. Devouring a monster's soul: shatters it instantly for 1,399 damage to the target and up to 5 nearby monsters, and applies Soul Suppression for 5 seconds, raising the damage they take from you by 10%. Soul stripping triggers at most once per 20 seconds, cannot re-strip from the same owner until the imprisoned soul is released, and you can hold at most 3 souls at once.
- Drawback
-

Any incoming hit up to 10% of your maximum health is reflected back at 0.6× (against targets beyond 8 metres the reflected damage decays with distance, but not below 20% of its within-8-metre value). When the Radiance Cage ends it deals 763 damage to up to 6 hostile targets within 8 metres and blinds them for 10 seconds, lowering their attack by 80. Skill cooldown: 30 seconds.

At most one enemy can be put into Disorientation every 10 seconds.
Disorientation (迷失): Cannot move or jump, and attack speed is reduced by 50%. Taking damage shortens the remaining duration.

Toxin Infection (毒素侵染): After carrying this artifact for 5 minutes you enter Toxin-Etched-in-Bone. Dying in that state leaves a poison pool for 10 seconds: it has a 100% base chance to root enemies in range for 3 seconds and tries to apply 1 stack of all three toxins per second, while movement speed inside is reduced by 50%. The pool affects at most 10 people.
The three toxins (三种毒素): Paralytic Toxin: −1% attack speed, up to 5 stacks; adding beyond 5 has a fixed 40% chance to Silence for 1 second.

Sealed Artifact Progression and Things to Watch
① Beyonder Knowledge Level (非凡知识等级)
As you push through the main story, and later from Beyonder Substance fusion proficiency rewards, you receive Beyonder Knowledge (非凡知识). It raises Sealed Artifact skill stats and Beyonder Resonance efficiency — the extra stats you gain when a multi-affix Beyonder Substance is embedded into an artifact. Just spend it as soon as you get it: it applies to every artifact at once.
② Sealed Artifact One-Click Assist (封印物一键辅助)
With this on, whenever skill One-Click Assist is active and a usable Sealed Artifact effect comes up, it fires automatically. It requires skill One-Click Assist to be enabled — turning it on while you are in manual mode does nothing.
③ Beyonder Substance Embedding (非凡物质嵌入)
Embedding opens on day two, at level 42. You can slot gold-grade Beyonder Substances carrying affixes into your artifacts to raise your stats. Substances come in offensive and defensive types, same as the artifacts themselves.
④ Beyonder Substance Fusion (非凡物质聚合)
From day three you can fuse Beyonder Substances yourself, trying to produce ones with better stats and more affixes, then swap those in to push your stats further.
⑤ Upgrading Sealed Artifacts (封印物升级)
Artifacts are upgraded — and their quality changed — by spending Echo of History (历史回响), which requires level 46.
Other than buying it on the exchange with unbound Soli, the routes to Echo of History are very limited for ordinary players right now, and progress through them is slow. So even once you can upgrade, think carefully about which artifact to put it into; that decision is worth revisiting when the related progression systems arrive.
Before You Use These Numbers
Everything above reflects the game as observed in the opening days of China Open Beta, when the source guide was published on August 22, 2026. Unlock levels, artifact values, drawback percentages and the role recommendations are all subject to balance patches, and several artifacts listed here were still gated behind Ranked Ladder progress at the time of writing. Treat the picks as the author's assessment at that point in the patch cycle rather than settled tiering.
