I’ve hunted Mokoko Seeds in Artemis enough to say this plainly: you can clear the region without guesswork if you follow a few specific steps. I tested the routes on June 1, 2025, and I’ll tell you what worked for me, what didn’t, and why.
🌱 Quick facts
Artemis typically shows up on community maps as having 11 Mokoko Seeds (players often report 11, though some patches change counts). This guide is written from practical runs and player reports I trust (short sessions, real attempts). It depends on your progress and gear—this doesn’t always work the same for everyone.
📍 Map structure and why it matters
The region splits into obvious areas: Central Courtyard, Eastern Sanctum, Western Gardens, Underground Chambers. Each area sits on different vertical layers, so you’ll need to think up and down, not just along the minimap.
| Zone | Seeds | Trick |
|---|---|---|
| Central Courtyard | 3 | Look under statues and roofs |
| Eastern Sanctum | 3 | Quest-gated or timed |
| Western Gardens | 2 | Illusion hedges hide paths |
| Underground Chambers | 3 | Guarded by elites |
Why care? Because route planning saves hours. In my experience, start where doors aren’t locked. You’ll avoid running across the map for nothing.
🔍 Secret areas — concrete steps
Here’s a repeatable trick I used behind the Ancient Statue. It’s short, so read closely.
- Stand at the statue base (high vantage point helps).
- Hit the north rune; then east; then south—do it fast. The window is tight (about 30 seconds on my runs).
- If it fails, wait the cooldown and try again.
Seems obvious? Not to new players. Watch for subtle glow changes—those tell you you’re on the right rune. (Yes, you’ll miss one the first two times—I did.)
⚔️ Combat seeds — approach and tactics
Some seeds sit behind fights. Expect elite guards or a named miniboss. I’ve noticed their mechanics vary by server and patch, but a few practical tips hold:
- Use cover when an enemy has a high-damage charge.
- Kite larger enemies in circular arenas.
- Bring heals and food—don’t be stubborn about sparring undergeared.
Controversial take: the 24-hour respawn is too punitive for casual players; forcing a daily grind feels artificial to me. You might disagree, and that’s fine.
🗝️ Quest-locked seeds — what to check
Three seeds often require story or reputation progress. Don’t waste time wandering closed areas. Check these items before a run:
□ Main Story: required chapter completed
□ Faction reputation: Trusted or higher
□ Special key item obtained during questAsk Scholar Thaelon in the hub if you’re missing steps. He gives hints (and yes, some steps are annoying).
🧭 Efficient route and daily routine
Short paragraph: start in the Central Courtyard.
Long paragraph: then move clockwise through the region. Do easy seeds first, tackle secrets next, and finish with combat-protected ones—this keeps you from bouncing back and forth across the map. Combine seed runs with normal questing. For example, when you’re already clearing dailies, check nearby seed spots; it’s faster than a dedicated grind session and makes the work feel less forced. Use a teleport point (Bifrost) near tricky clusters and, if you’ve got alts, stagger boss attempts across characters so you don’t waste respawn windows.
🛠️ Tools, inventory, and small tricks
- Always carry portal scrolls and extra inventory space.
- Use Alt to highlight interactables in secret areas—seriously, it helps.
- Mark discovered secrets on your map; come back later if locked.
One counterintuitive insight: sometimes selling a crafting drop and buying the finished item is faster than collecting and crafting yourself. It rubbed me the wrong way at first, but time is a resource too!

By the way, a blunt note: some community maps are outdated after patches. If you follow someone’s 2023 video exactly in 2025, things won’t line up. Watch this: check patch notes or a trusted community map updated in 2025 before you commit to a long session.
Want one more tip? Use two short runs rather than one marathon. You’ll remember details better, enjoy the scenery, and not rage-quit when a boss one-shots you. Honestly, that saved me more than once.
Good luck—again, check your quest log first. If you want, send me a screenshot of a stubborn spot and I’ll point out a likely trick (between us, sometimes the game hides a ledge you’d never look at).
