You can use a "well-known" folder name

ArchiveMsgFolderRoot

to access the archive mailbox. For example, to get all messages from the Inbox folder inside the archived mailbox use the following query: 

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/<id>/mailFolders/ArchiveMsgFolderRoot/childFolders/Inbox/messages

btw, it uses another predefined folder id (Inbox)

First, get the mailFolder list for your account.

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/mailFolders/

Response:

{
    "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#users(' ')/mailFolders(id,displayName)",
    "@odata.nextLink": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/mailFolders?$select=id%2cdisplayName&$skip=10",
    "value": [
       ...
        {
            "id": "AAMkADQ5OWMzMGEwLTg4ZjktNDk1Ny05NzFmLsdfZjg4ODU0YzUwYwAuAAAAAACtqDzk9UzLSpZsdesjndr1AQBNzq1HG8BvRYqBQbPeZSPaAAGdwZCCAAA=",
            "displayName": "archive"
        } 
...
    ]
}

Then, use the archive mailboxs's id(AAMkADQ5OWMzMGEwLTg4ZjktNDk1Ny05NzFmLsdfZjg4ODU0YzUwYwAuAAAAAACtqDzk9UzLSpZsdesjndr1AQBNzq1HG8BvRYqBQbPeZSPaAAGdwZCCAAA= on my test case) to get the messages in root folder and sub-folder. Combine them on you client.

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/mailFolders/{archive mailbox id}/childFolders/messages
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/mailFolders/{ archive mailbox id}/messages
