Just keep searching the anomalies. Anomalies will actually respawn with new artifacts after a while, so go back and check them every once in a while. Keep searching and eventually you'll get the radiation reduction artifacts, along with the weight increase artifacts. Until you get the rad reduction ones, you pretty much can't use any of the artifacts. In Jupiter there's a quest line for the Scientists that has you placing sensors in a whole bunch of anomolies. Once you've done that, you can see if new artifacts have spawned in the anomolies just by looking at your PDA map, which is nice.

Be aware that the artifacts you find tend to get more powerful the deeper you go into the zone. You'll find more powerful artifacts in Jupiter than in Zaton, and more powerful artifacts in Pripyat than in Jupiter.

hey the goldfish is like really powerful right? Beard just gave me a mission to find it, how do i find it? theres no marker or anything. I also cant steal it becuase no matter how much I sleep, it just fails or doesnt get updated, so I have to re-load and actually find it. Previously both of his quests have been the Eye artifact, and both have been at Circus Anomaly. Could it be there? or no since thats a fire place?

As far as I am aware, there's no specific spot to get artifacts. You just get them by the luck of the draw. I find the best way to deal with Beard's quests is to simply amass a large number of artifacts and check in with him every once in a while. Only take quests for artifacts you already have and then sell them to him immediately. If you take quests for artifacts you don't have, you'll probably run out of time on the quest before you find them.

alright, I'll do that from now on. If I do find a goldfish though, I'm certainly keeping it to myself. that extra 12 kilos is great, that means I can carry back at least 3 or 4 guns from every raid to sell! rather than my current situation where at best I might be able to grab a gun. Thanks!

Also under the burnt farmstead, are the anomalies difficult to get past?I've heard there may be a goldfish in there, as well as a good radiation-removing artifact.

oh wow thats pretty stupid.

I found the jellyfish under the burnt farmstead.....and it will not let me grab it. yup, i cannot grab it. i should be able to, heres a screenshot of how close I am:

and even jumping to right next to it refuses to give it to me. sigh.

Yeah, I had the same problem with that one, it's a bug. I can't remember if I ever found a way to get it or not. Do a google search, maybe someone's found a way to grab it.

I tried shooting it, that did it. it took a while though.

now I have like 75000 bucks, and hopefully more if I can get Beard to give missions for my other artifacts.

if I still have a significant amount when I get to Pripyat and get the Calibration tools, I'll buy the exoskeleton and get the running upgrade.
