Notes

• The Sphere is labelled in game files as "av_earthartifactkey" and its final holder is listed as "av_earthartifactlock".
• The Obsidian Sphere is one a number of related artifacts that are found in forge portals room and immediately used to access the portals. Other artifacts that are treated the same include the Faceted Orb and the Howling Heartstone. Both the Dark and Fire forges also have artifacts identified as "orbs" that control portal activation, although they are not directly picked up as the other 'artifact orbs' are. Game files and textures reveal that the the stationary orbs are similarly counted as an object rather than part of the room and like the Faceted Orb they all have has a subtle Darkness or Light symbols within which are virtually invisible in the course of regular gameplay.
