Terrifying Sample is a type of Artifact.

Summary[ | ]

Terrifying Sample is one of several types of Artifacts and it is a reward for opening Large Artifact Crates found in Ancient Ruins.

They can also be obtained from several varieties of Space Encounters. Keeping this item when obtained in this way can cause the space encounter that awarded it to keep spawning without warning, dropping you out of pulse drive involuntarily.

This artifact type is also available by offering a Hypnotic Eye to Submerged Ruins. However, this option will only become available after listening to enough story dialogues from the ruins.

Game description[ | ]

An appalling relic, the haunted remains of some abyssal horror. It has lived at least X0 lifetimes, and will live many more again.

Will stalk the bearer across the galaxy and the next, unless it is sold before the curse can take effect.
