Best starting artifacts

As you get initiated into the Coon & Friends, you’ll get the Junior Coon Friend Gyro. Since it’s the first item you can get, you can’t expect it to be any good. However, if you hop on over to Kyle’s house, you can get a much better one as soon as you have the Snap & Pop ability. Go inside the house and climb upstairs. Head into Kyle’s parents’ bedroom, and look at the shelf on the left, near the window. You’ll see a golden statue on top of it, which you can get down by throwing a firecracker at it.

The statue is called the Pride of Nippopolis. It will give you 25 might, +2 to brains, brawn and spunk, as well as 18 additional health. As far as team bonuses are concerned, it’ll grand you +105% knockback combo damage. It’s a great starter item, and you can have it as soon as gain access to an artifact slot.

Best major artifacts

You can find the Luminous Enigma (83) in the yellow box in Jimmy’s garage. You’ll need Toolshed to clear out the lava in front of the door. If you’ve got Human Kite in your team, you can grab the Effigy of the Moon (66) from the roof of the Photo Dojo, west of the playground.

Human Kite can also help you grab the NeoConomicon (68) from the school. It’s on the right side of the balcony in the main hall. There’s another one in the Main Street Offices. Go inside, and into the large room on the right. Approach the hot tub filled with poop, and call Toolshed to help you with the valve. This will make a yellow bag shoot out of the poop and onto the floor. If you open it, you’ll find the Crack’d Beholder (95).
