There are three new artifacts to add to your collection in the Nighthaven update for New World: Aeternum. Like all of the previous artifacts, you need to check certain locations, and might even have to fight enemies, just to get the new artifacts. If you wish to add these artifacts to your collection, then check out the guide below.
How to Get Crescent Wave in New World: Aeternum
Completing level 65 and above Major Corrupted Breaches gives you a random chance of obtaining the Crescent Wave. The Crescent Wave Greatsword was included in the Season 9 Pass, but if you didn’t get it then, you can claim it now for free. This is entirely RNG, so you might have to run several high-level portals before you get your hands on it. The Greatsword is handed to you once the event is over, and isn’t found in the reward caches within the event itself.
