If you're looking around the town of Molino in Paralives for some of the more than 100 artifacts available to find, then you've definitely got your work cut out for you if you're looking to fully complete a collection! There are plenty of things to find, but among the hardest are the artifacts.

Since they don't have set spawn locations, only seasons during which we've seen them spawn into the world when we dig up chests, you'll need to be doing quite a lot of digging to find every artifact in Paralives to complete your collection of paintings and more.

How To Find Artifacts

Though the other collectibles in Paralives tend to have comparatively more set locations, with common spots to look for the different varieties of mushrooms that grow around Molino and a collection of precious gemstone ores you can excavate from relatively stable locations, artifacts can be found anywhere in Paralives.

While mushrooms and gemstones appear as-is on the surface and are easy to identify, artifacts will always be hidden within buried treasure chests that spawn at random around the map. They'll be anywhere from parks to neighbors' lawns to your very own backyard.

To find a treasure chest in Paralives, you'll need to look around for patches of disturbed dirt, small spots on the ground that look visibly different from the rest of the surrounding area, through which you'll often see a wooden box sticking out. They can be somewhat tricky to find, especially if they're concealed behind plants sometimes and will typically require an eagle eye as you pan around the town.

When you locate a buried treasure chest, simply click on it and instruct your Para to come dig up the chests you find to crack them open and find which treasure awaits you.

There are dozens of artifacts to be collected, with items like famous real-life paintings made by artists of renown throughout history or a series of crafts or inventions from before your Para's time as potential artifacts.

What To Do With Artifacts

After your Para has dug up a buried chest and gotten some artifacts in Paralives, there are a handful of ways to proceed. Are you looking to be philanthropic with your finds, are you trying to unlock new content and rewards, or are you trying to enjoy a well-decorated home?

One of the most readily apparent ideas for what to do with your artifacts is to display them in your home. They're legendary pieces, after all, so as long as none of your Para's friend questions why your Para has the original copy of Van Gogh's Self-Portrait when they visit, you'll be good to go.

If you'd rather get rid of your findings to make some easy cash, you can always sell artifacts in Build/Buy the same as any other item. They don't tend to have very high sale prices, but when you're just getting started in the game, free Paradimes are free Paradimes.

The best thing to do with the artifacts in Paralives, though, is to donate them. If you've been over to the area with the Community Center ruins near the Town Hall, you'll find the Museum nearby. While the Community Center has a handful of artifact requirements, the Museum is seeking a broader list of donations, including artifacts and the other foraged items you find around town.

You'll earn rewards for donating your artifacts in this way, often more than you'd get for selling the items outright.

To donate to the Community Center, interact with the yellow book inside the ruins and select the paintings you'd like to donate for your bundles. To donate to the Museum, interact with the wooden box outside the museum. Both open inventory screens from which you can donate items and accept milestone donation rewards.
