[[Combination artifacts]] consist of several regular ones. When equipped they block all the slots belonging to their parts, but take just one slot in the backpack.

There are 12 [[combination artifacts]] in {{sod}} ([[Armageddon's Blade (artifact)|Armageddon's blade]] works as a combo in the campaign only). Traces of 3 unrealized ones are in the game files: it's Diplomat's Suit, Mire of Neutrality and Ironfist of the Ogre. They were introduced in {{hota}} as [[Diplomat's Cloak]], [[Pendant of Reflection]] and [[Ironfist of the Ogre]], alongside with [[Golden Goose]] as an hommage to Heroes of Might and Magic II.
