Checked on 21 October 2026 against Update 6.0 (build 0.10.0.653173), for The Last Caretaker. Forum dates are UTC.

Item locations and attribute numbers below come from players or third-party guides, and each says whose.

Short answer. According to the Mynaeos guide, there are four artifacts that are not used up when you grow a human [S5]. They are:

  • the Oath Token, behind the gate of the Forth Chamber after a statue puzzle;
  • A Future without Him, from the Memory for Aron quest;
  • Dolly, for finishing the North Bastion story;
  • Anna Echo, for bringing the Oath Token back to Anna [S5].

Players disagree on the last step [S18].

The four at a glance

Anna EchoReturn to Anna with the Oath Token [S5]+100 to each attribute [S5]3 kg [S5]None

The ten attributes are Adaptability, Communication, Creativity, Discipline, Empathy, Focus, Leadership, Logic, Patience and Wisdom [S6]. Mynaeos says its steps come from its own playthrough and that "The attribute values and weights have also been checked against the extracted game data." [S5] The fan calculator thelastcaretaker-tools.com lists all four names, but not their stats [S22].

Dolly is not even across the board. Per Mynaeos it gives Empathy +500; Adaptability, Communication, Creativity, Discipline and Focus +50; and Leadership, Logic, Patience and Wisdom +10 [S5].

"Artifact" is also an item rarity. A guide lists Quantum Crystal as "an Artifact-rarity material" [S23]. In a Transposium maze video, Goldsky Survival calls the Ash Notebook "a artifact level" memory at [12:19] [S24]. Neither of those is one of the four. Which item counts for the achievement is covered on the achievements page.

Oath Token: the statue puzzle

The Oath Token dates from Update 5. StormkilGaming, in a video titled for Update 5, calls it one of the things "gotten in update 5 new horizons" at [0:11] [S11]. The earliest dated forum report found for this page is from 27 June 2026 [S15]. Nothing in the Update 5.5 notes or the Update 6.0 notes mentions it [S1][S3].

1. Scan three statues. Mynaeos: "First, visit the three tall rocky spires with the large statues". They are the Spire of Exodus, the Spire of Industry and the Spire of Command. Each has a cave just below the top [S5]. The guide says to "Blast open each entrance using two O2 Big Explosives and scan the statue inside", which is six in total [S5]. Sgt DangerCow's Update 5 guide video says at [15:18] "you'll need three large O2 grenades to" open them. It does not make clear whether that means three per cave or three in all [S10].

Getting onto the spires, per the same video at [15:21]–[15:58] [S10]:

  • The Spire of Command cave is on the landing ledge [S10].
  • At the Spire of Industry you have to drop down to reach it [S10].
  • The Spire of Exodus "is trickier because there isn't" a real place to land. The video sails there and builds wall steps up, and estimates "probably 210 to 300" iron [S10].

2. Find the Forth Chamber. It is an unmarked underwater cave. "Forth" is the official spelling; Update 5.5 fixed "an out-of-bounds gap in Forth Chamber" [S3]. Some players write "Fourth" (Bumblebee, 11 July 2026 [S7]) or "fourth" (DocTich1, 26 July 2026 [S16]). The readings differ:

PositionDepthWho
108, -34"Approximately 123 m" to the entranceBumblebee, Steam forum, 11 July 2026 [S7]
108 -33Rock surface "100 or so meters down"Sgt DangerCow video, [17:10] and [17:32] [S10]
About 109, -33"about 120 m deep", citing the wikithelastcaretakergame.org [S8]

Map coordinates are grid units, not metres [S8]. Sgt DangerCow looks for a cluster of white icons on sonar to find the entrance ([17:14]) [S10].

3. Bring gold and power. Two videos say you need gold and a power source in the chamber:

  • SubiPilot says at [8:14] you are "going to need 15 gold" plus a "canister of electricity so you can power" the room [S9].
  • Sgt DangerCow says at [17:19] "You'll need 15 gold minimum, some" cable, a small battery or two, and a Nebula or Eclipse torch for the eels [S10].

Mynaeos only says "Connect the power supply once the statues are in the right places." [S5] None of these sources says what the gold is spent on.

4. Place the statues. Fabricate the scanned statues and set them on the pedestals in front of the gate. From left to right: Augustus of Prima Porta, Moses, Vulcan, God of the Forge [S5]. Bumblebee's forum list and SubiPilot give the same order [S7][S9]. SubiPilot at [10:24]: "The order of the statues matters." [S9]

5. Power the gate and take the token. "You can then open the gate. The Oath Token is behind it, ready to pick up." [S5]

What else is in there. Bumblebee lists four cave-painting samples in the chamber (522, 527, 531, 537). "The cave contains four samples, three small platforms, a locked door and a power connection." [S7] Behind the door there is more loot and a QR code. Its message begins "I do not serve authority. I serve the growing." [S7] DocTich1 on the Steam forum (26 July 2026) says the chamber "contains an Oath Token and 3 small plants worth 65 discipline" [S16].

Getting the Oath Token back out of the rack

Several sources say the token is not used up:

  • thelastcaretaker.ru: "Not consumed while growing." [S6]
  • BrownKodo on the Steam forum (27 June 2026): "I found Oath Token is reusable and I just grew an Existential Chancellor and a Colonel of Humanity with it." [S15]
  • StormkilGaming at [1:08]: "The best part is it's reusable. So I can" use it for the next human [S11].

There is a catch, though:

  • StormkilGaming says at [1:36] that unless you put another human in the pod you just used, "you can't get the oath token back" [S11].
  • uhnother on the Steam forum (22 September 2026): "The monitor on the rack doesnt go back to the menu to allow you to get your token back." [S13]

The fix all three videos show is to start a new human in the same rack:

  • StormkilGaming at [2:44]: "You got to put this back in there." [S11]
  • The Other Games at [5:30]: every time you put a new person "in, this Eoken appears again, if you" used it once. "Eoken" is the auto-caption's spelling of "token". The video then shows the token going back into the inventory [S12].
  • Sgt DangerCow says at [18:20]–[18:28] that the new pod has to go into the same growth chamber, and then "the token will reappear" [S10].

Juggernaut on the Steam forum, on Update 6.0 release day (19 October 2026, 05:34 UTC), described it differently: "The only downside is you can only make 1 person at a time, due to the Token being permanently integrated into the fabricator you used it in." [S14] Of the three videos above, two are titled for Update 5 (StormkilGaming and Sgt DangerCow); the third (The Other Games) has no version in its title.

BrownKodo also wrote "maybe it's a bug, hope they don't fix it....." [S15].

Does it slow growth? The item text on thelastcaretaker.ru says it "slows the growth process and gives the human more time to become whole." [S6] StormkilGaming timed one basic human at 55 seconds and a Guardian of Humanity at 4 minutes ([3:08]–[3:11]) and said there "doesn't seem to be a real big delay" [S11]. That is one player's measurement.

Where the Oath Token helps

StormkilGaming compares it at [0:36]–[0:46] with the Ash Notebook, which can "give us 100 in each of our stats, but" that is too much for some humans. StormkilGaming says too much Logic turns a Guardian of Humanity into a Quantum Engineer [S11]. At [0:58] the token is called useful "mainly for tier 4. Tier 1, 2 and 3 you" get too much out of it [S11]. Aximili on the Steam forum (31 August 2026) agrees on the Guardian of Humanity, using "the reusable oath token instead which does about half the work of an ash notebook" [S16].

Juggernaut (19 October 2026, 05:34 UTC) suggests waiting for the token before growing humans, because "it massively reduces the number of memories you need to create a human." [S14]

A forum report of the token producing a different job than expected is covered on the Station Protector page.

How interrupted power or water affects the outcome of growing a human is covered on the growing humans page.

A Future without Him

According to Mynaeos, this comes from the Memory for Aron quest, which you start through the PECO game Rising Tide, not at the intake station [S5]:

  1. "Get a Rising Tide cartridge and play it at a PECO terminal until you reach at least 300 points" [S5]
  2. Open page 11 in the INFO section [S5].
  3. Wait for the malfunction and the reboot, open page 11 again and listen to the voiceover [S5].
  4. Close the terminal and Memory for Aron starts. It leads to North Deep Intake Station, where A Future without Him is in Aron’s room [S5].

Among the sources read on 21 October, Mynaeos is the only one that gives the 300-point threshold and the page 11 steps [S5]. The official record agrees that the quest exists. Update 5.5 added "new questlines MOSES Field Reserve Program and Memory for Aron" [S4]. Its RC2 "Added missing Aron story content explaining the Rising Tide quest." [S3] Later RCs in the same update fixed Rising Tide high scores not saving [S3].

Dolly and Anna Echo (Update 6.0)

Officially, Update 6.0 lets you "uncover new Permanent Memories, and unlock persistent Anna interactions and dialogue after the storyline." [S1]

Dolly. Per Mynaeos, Dolly is the reward at the end of the North Bastion story, reached through the Transfer Gate on the Lazarus Complex roof [S5]. For the trip, see the Transfer Gate and North Bastion page. HiQQ on the Steam forum (20 October 2026, 04:14 UTC): "A girl named Anna appeared, and I received Dolly." [S18]

Belle on the Steam forum (15 October 2026, 10:31 UTC, during the Update 6.0 public beta) explains the name: "The sheep is Dolly, the first animal ever cloned and the little girl was fascinated by Dolly." [S20] In a video titled for Update 6, SpielbaerLP keeps the sheep in the inventory in case it matters later ([36:58]) [S21].

Anna Echo. Mynaeos warns: "Having Dolly alone does not mean you have collected all four artifacts." [S5] According to Mynaeos, you bring the Oath Token to Anna's hologram: "When you return to Anna with the Oath Token, you receive Anna Echo" [S5]. In the Steam forum thread "!Anna Echo!" (20 October 2026, posts between 04:14 and 22:31 UTC), players do not agree [S18]:

ClaimWho
"Take the Oath Token to her to get the other artifact."Urban Technician [S18]
"You have to have the Continuity Token in your backpack when you activate the machine. Then both appear in your backpack."Belle [S18]
Only Dolly, no other quests: "Someone on reddit said they got two artifacts and I only got the same one you did."cash22 [S18]
Brought Anna almost every item except the Oath Token: "I now have her image and I was also able to get a 2nd dolly." Not sure that was meant to happen.Little Red One [S18]

The Continuity Token is a different item: it belongs to the Transfer Gate quest [S25], and since RC4 it "can no longer be destroyed." [S1] Wasntme (19:30 UTC) quotes an Anna line and reads it as Anna asking for a memory: "if you see something beautiful, will you remember it for me" [S18]. Which item Anna Echo needs is not settled. Mynaeos and Urban Technician say the Oath Token, but the official notes never name the item.

What the Update 6.0 public beta changed around Anna (all part of build 0.10.0.653173 [S1]; dates from the beta thread [S2]):

RCDateChange
RC19 Oct"A hologram of Anna now appears in the North Bastion laboratory." [S1]
RC49 Oct"Fixed Anna not reacting when you come back to her later with the item she needs." [S1]
RC512 Oct"Items Anna gives you now go straight into your inventory." [S1]
RC613 Oct"Fixed the action for giving Dolly a memory happening more than once." [S1]
RC815 OctAnna no longer goes quiet or stops "reacting properly when you return with the special item." [S1]

Early Update 6.0 public beta players found only a sheep at the end. nonamedkiller (10 October 2026, 10:32 UTC): "I got the little dolly sheep and that's it?" [S19] Monty (12 October 2026, 05:55 UTC): "But the ending is just a Sheep." [S20] Both posted during the Update 6.0 public beta, after the RC4 fix and before the RC6 and RC8 fixes in the table above, so do not treat those posts as how the live game behaves.
