Stygian: Outer Gods Artifacts List — Talisman of Pazuzu

Artifacts in Stygian: Outer Gods are rare relics tied to the same Power vs curse fantasy as the broader Stygian line, but this page only names items developers actually shipped in Outer Gods news—plus paid DLC text Steam hosts. For combat relics paired with weapons, see weapons overview; for sanity systems they interact with, see sanity and insanity.

Which artifacts are confirmed in Stygian: Outer Gods updates?

The 16 July 2026 Daniel Upton devlog jokingly calls the Lovecraftian Days pair “totally not cursed”™ artefacts—tone only, not mechanics.

Other relics may exist in 1.0 or earlier EA builds without appearing in the changelogs we mirrored; absence here is not proof they do not exist.

What is the Talisman of Pazuzu in Stygian: Outer Gods?

Official fact: Talisman of Pazuzu entered Stygian: Outer Gods in the Lovecraftian Days update (9 April 2026 Steam announcement), the same patch that opened the mansion Crypt, added the Banshee, and introduced Chalice of Eliphaz.

Not verified on Outer Gods primary sources (2026-10-28):

• Exact Power and Malediction strings in the 1.0 UI
• Pickup location or quest gate (no ≥B source pair located)
• Whether effects match the previous Stygian game’s similarly named talisman

How to use this section responsibly: After you loot or craft access, open the inventory tooltip and compare wording to your build plan. If you selected Artifact Knowledge at prologue, an EA walkthrough says that trait enables artifact use—see character traits for the EA label warning.

Players searching “Talisman of Pazuzu” usually want stealth or sanity tradeoffs; until tooltips are cited here, pair the talisman with beginner tips on avoiding fights rather than assuming aggro rules.

What about Chalice of Eliphaz and earlier artifacts?

Chalice of Eliphaz shares the Lovecraftian Days introduction beat with the talisman. Developers market it alongside mansion Crypt content but do not describe its curse in public patch bullets—only the name.

Pendulum and Ring of Pain’s Poison arrive with the House of Mists / Blood Forest August 2025 update—the same drop that added Agata’s Ritual Place and the H&W Military Police Revolver (see Agata for boss context). Again, names only in changelog text we cite.

How does paid DLC artifact The Whisperer work?

Steam’s Heretic’s Arsenal Pack description (paid DLC, optional) states:

The Whisperer: Artifact. Protects your sanity, but makes you easier to notice.

Flavor lines about grotesque appearance and nightly whispers are marketing copy on the same store page—not independent mechanic proof beyond the sanity/detection sentence.

The pack also sells Bone Axe and Kama melee weapons; it does not replace base-game artifacts. Treat ownership as account entitlement, not an in-story item.

Artifact Knowledge and crafting links

• Artifact Knowledge — Prologue Seer pick described in EA guides as gating artifact interaction; unverified for 1.0 retunes.
• Crafting — Official copy emphasizes medicines and tools; artifacts are found or scripted, not generic craft outputs (crafting scope).

For launch-wide content context (including unnamed 1.0 boss), see 1.0 update overview.
