One of these Artifact sets is called Things Left Behind, and you can find these Artifacts littered around the world of Svartalfheim. The home of the Dwarves is the first world you will visit in the main quest and a place that you will return to frequently throughout the story. Some of these Artifacts, however, can be tricky to find, unless you know exactly where you need to be looking.
Althjof’s Statue
This Artifact resides within the Apple Core, a section of the map that you will visit early on. However, you won’t be able to fully explore it as you’d like until you unlockthe Draupnir Spearas part of the main quest later on in the game.
To get to this statue, travel through the Apple Core until you reach a fork in the road that has the right path blocked off by gold ore. You will need to head down the left path until you are able to jump to the right to a new spot that gives you a vantage point on an explosive pot. Hit it with your axe to blow up the gold ore, then backtrack to the fork and take the newly-opened right path. Follow the path, head through the doors that you find, and the statue will be on your left.
Bari’s Grenade
You can find Bari’s Grenade in The Forge, which you will briefly pass through early on but will return to later in the main story for more exploration.
Regardless of when you go there, start at the spot where the Dwarven mine cart drops you off and head up the path until you find an overturned mine cart. You will see a wall on your right that you’re able to climb up, do so, and then jump down to the left. Look around to find a wood pile that you can break to find the Artifact waiting for you.

Durinn’s Stone Statue
You can claim this Artifact in the Apple Core during your initial visit there to try and find Tyr. There will be a moment when you will be reunited with Atreus near a large door and a small path on the left. Take this path and follow the passage that it takes you to until you reach an area that you can jump down to. Have Atreus shoot the Dwarven ore which will reveal the Artifact for you.
Griep’s Firebomb
Griep’s Firebomb is found in the Dwarven town of Nidavellir. When you first visit this town, you will come to a part where Sindri upgrades Atreus' arrows. This opens a new path through the town via the sewers, which you will navigate. Once you come out on the other side, you will see some barrels that can be broken. When you destroy them, you will reveal the Firebomb for you.

Hreidmar’s Brassard
This Artifact might be the first one that you come across in the game, as it can be found in the Aurvangar Wetlands which is where you will travel the first time you visit Svartalfheim. Row your way through the marshy area until you find a place to dock on the right. Disembark from your boat and head towards the chest. Freeze the geyser, jump over, and then use the Blades of Chaos to grapple up onto the ledge where you will see the Artifact.
Lofnheid’s Whetstone
This final Artifact is found in the Jarnsmida Pitmines, which you will crash into during the main story. After fighting off the enemies, you will find a chain leading down to another giant waterwheel. Take this, and you will seethe Artifact waitingin front of you near the edge of the lake.
