Codes mean nothing, though, without knowing what they do and how to use them. The first thing you'll need to do is get to the Sky Meadow Realm (the 5th stage of your run) and look for a hole in the ground.
Against your better instinct, jump into the hole and don't worry about the enemies as they won't follow you. At the bottom of the level, you will find a 3 x 3 grid and a stone with the same grid structure, which is one of the 16 artifact codes! On the grid, you'll walk up to each of the inputs and select the appropriate shape from the options of Square, Diamond, Triangle, Circle.
From there, you'll notice a laptop behind you. Go to this laptop and interact with it, which will activate a portal across from the grid if the input in the grid is correct.
You'll face a variety of challenges from here, and once those challenges are complete, the artifact will be yours.
