 Salutations! Another "Guides in Jeju" is here. This time, we are going to talk about Artifacts.

Introduction
As you all know, in this season there are many Artifacts that could be used by castaways to help or hinder them in Tribal Council. These Artifacts are usually obtained through clues, but some are given through other means.

Different Types of Artifacts
As of now, there are 5 known Artifacts in the game. They are:

1. Hidden Immunity Idol


The staple item of all Survivor Wikia seasons, the Hidden Immunity Idol (or simply the idol) is back on play. There is 1 per tribe, and could be won by solving a riddle.

Trigger: Played during Voting Phase.

Passable?: Yes, anytime with members of same tribe; between challenge and challenge results (Reward and/or Immunity) if with other tribe (where all castaways are in "one place").

Effect: Negates all votes cast against the user in a single Tribal Council. Makes the user immune during revote and Purple Rock tiebreaker.

Validity: Until Final 5.

2. Mask of Restrict


The Mask of Restrict is an Artifact that gives power to the holder to have one castaway (even including self) to abstain from voting in a single Tribal Council. It is carried during the revote. The art of the Mask is inspired by a Korea mask.

Trigger: Played during Discussion Phase.

Passable?: Yes, same conditions as the idol.

Effect: Makes one castaway abstain a vote during Tribal Council.

Validity: Until Final 5.

3. Rings of Duality


If the Mask of Restrict makes a castaways abstain from a vote, the Rings of Duality makes the a castaway able to vote twice. It is carried on to the revote, however if the one who was given the power of Rings of Duality is part of a tied vote (by default would not vote during the revote), they could vote in the revote, but only once. The art for Rings are inspired by the Korean royal double jade rings (these Rings are gold and silver, however).

Trigger: Played during Discussion Phase.

Passable?: Yes, same conditions as the idol.

Effect: Makes one castaway vote twice during a single Tribal Council.

Validity: Until Final 5.

4. Dark Pearl


The Dark Pearl is an Artifact that penalizes the holder 1 vote the next time he/she is not immune from the vote. That means, as long as the user couldn't be voted against, it couldn't go away. It is also carried over during the revote. Its effect could be cancelled by the idol, though. It also automatically goes away after Final 5.

Trigger: Automatic (if castaway is not immune during Voting Phase).

Passable?: No.

Effect: Penalizes the holder 1 vote during the next time he/she is not immune from the vote during Tribal Council.

Validity: Until Final 5.

4. Light Pearl


The Light Pearl is kind of the opposite of the Dark Pearl - it negates 1 vote the holder would receive if they would get votes during Tribal Council, like a shield. That means, whenever the holder would get votes, it would be used. If the idol is used while holding the Light Pearl and the castaway received vote(s), the Light Pearl's effect would be wasted as the idol is used, so the castaways must time correctly when to use the idol while holding the Pearl. Same as the Dark Pearl, its effect goes away after Final 5.

Trigger: Automatic (if castaway received at least 1 vote during Tribal Council).

Passable?: No.

Effect: Negates 1 one vote from the holder the next time he/she receives a vote at Tribal Council.

Validity: Until Final 5. So there you have it. If you have the Artifacts, use it wisely. See you next time here in Guides in Jeju! <ac_metadata title="Guides in Jeju #2 - Artifacts"> </ac_metadata>
