Uldun Foothills 

Artifact #1 - Strange Rock

You'll find the first artifact on the western edge of the zone. There's a path between two hills that leads to the spot where it's hidden.

The Black Gate 

Artifact #2 - Mortar and Pestle

This is found in the western area of the slaver camp. Check underneath the watchtower here to find it.

Artifact #3 - Lockpick

There's a wooden structure on the eastern edge of the area. You'll find this atop it.

Artifact #4 - Iron Shackle

Head to the northern edge of the map for this. It's on the lowest floor of the scaffolding, along the wall.

The Black Road 

Artifact #5 - Hoe Blade

Uruk's Hollow 

Artifact #6 - Branding Iron

Finding this requires entering the Uruk's Hollow stronghold, so use caution when exploring the area. The artifact can be found at ground level in the southwest of the area--directly across from Ithildin #4 in fact. Shimmy through the busted jail bars to find it inside a small room.

Uruk's Proving Grounds 

Artifact #7 - Tattered Note

You'll find this in the northwestern corner of the map. Climb the wooden structure and look for a narrow passage between the boards--the artifact is in here.
