The artifact/item exchange system is a core element in the gameplay loop of Blazing Beaks. Picking up and carrying artifacts makes the character weaker or has some other negative effect. Each artifact has its risk value — the higher it is, the bigger negative effect it has. Enemies can drop artifacts and artifacts can be dropped when boss is defeated. Also, there's a chance to loot them from machines. The indicator of the total sum of the risk value carried is shown on the top of the screen in a bar above the coins icon. The number next to the bar shows how many items the player will certainly get when exchanging artifacts in the shop, and the value in the bar shows how much more risk value is still needed to collect for an additional item.
Below, you will find the summary of all artifacts in Blazing Beaks.
