There is actually no real need to created defenses for such an artifact since it destroys anything without Persacron DNA that tries to mess with it. Torackix has Seerkar's severed arm though which contains Persacron DNA and thus can access it. My plan is for Niyra to get her own arm removed during the part we're her Ryu Form gets revealed and she morphs to third stage. Makoro ends up using the arm to access the artifact and deactivate it during Niyra's battle with Torackix.

Perhaps its a map to the artifact, but they don't mange to activate it until they reach the Fields of Desolation.
