How Gifts and Artifacts Work

Give giftable artifacts from your inventory when you talk to Shuanshuan at the Four Seasons Pavilion. Some pieces only appear after story beats or after you have already given him earlier gifts, so it is normal to finish this list over multiple visits.

Your bond with Shuanshuan rises through these exchanges. Maxing that relationship and collecting every artifact is part of working toward the True Ending, and you will earn the "Gimme Gimme" achievement along the way. For Yi's health upgrades from Shennong, see the Poisons checklist.
