Dig up the Artifact by The Other Windmill

The first artifact can be found by the windmill northwest of Grim Gate, across the River Styx. On the ground by the windmill will be a dig spot that you can interact with to complete the quest.

Dig up the Artifact on the island

“The island” in question is the smaller of the two islands in the center of the map, southwest of Restored Reels.

Dig up the Artifact in the Cemetery

The Cemetery is between Reckless Railways and Classy Courts, across the river east of the railway line that runs between the two locations.

Follow the scent of and collect the Artifacts

Later on, after defeating Cerberus, you will catch the scent of the Artifacts at Pleasant Plaza. There you’ll be led through nine markers – highlighted by yellow smoke – that will complete the quest.
