Argent Skull

“	Revaal, the Argent Skull. I know the fury in your hollowed eyes.	„
	~ Melinoë

The Argent Skull, Revaal is one of the Nocturnal Arms that can be unlocked with 1 and 2 , after crafting all the other Weapons.

Book Of Shadows entry[]

'...The Argent Skull once belonged to the Adjudicator Revaal, and now Revaal belongs to you. Revaal deserves it, and indeed is very fortunate that you are more responsible than once was she.'

Fighting style[]

A hybrid between Zagreus's Bloodstones, a grenade launcher and the Shield of Chaos from the previous game. The standard attack throws out a skull like a bouncing explosive grenade which explodes in a moderate area when it hits an enemy, and the Ω Attack charges up a skull to fire at a more specific targeted point. Both of these leave the skull where it is after it explodes and you will need to pick them up to re-use them, it starts with an ammo capacity of 3 skulls. The Special is a quick dash, while the Ω Special is virtually identical to the rushing charge of the Shield of Chaos; a long-range dash that damages everything in the way and you are protected from damage during the dash, with this one also firing bolts to both sides as you dash. Note, however, you are NOT protected from damage while charging and holding this like the original shield did. Overall this is built more around an evasive playstyle.

Statistics[]

Move	Description	Damage	Notes
Attack	Press Attack to Throw a skull.	40	Shells start at 4 by default. Although the Attack has an AoE effect, it only applies to the first enemy hit and does not deal splash damage.
Ω Attack	Channel Attack using 10 to lob a skull.	150
Special	Press Special to Drive forward.	45	Special automatically retrieves any spent Shell from the field within a certain range. Special covers a longer distance depending on how long it is charged. This is different from Ω Special. The charged Special can be performed by releasing it before fully channeling , or if you lack enough to perform the Ω Special version. Currently Bugged: Ω Special is not affected by Apollo's Exceptional Talent.
Ω Special	Channel Special using 20 to Drive forward and send out projectiles to each side.	100x4	Ω Special automatically retrieves any spent Shell from the field within a certain range. Impervious while driving forward.

Revealing the Hidden Aspect[]

Reveal the Aspect of Hel by meeting the following requirements:

Have any aspect of the Argent Skull at level 5
Talk to Medea (with any weapon equipped) until she gives you the waking-phrase ("I see you gather countless dead in cold and dark domains.").
Activate the Silver Pool in The Crossroads and the Aspect will be revealed.
Purchase the Aspect for 12 Adamant and 2 Snake-Reed to unlock it.

Upgrades[]

Name	Description	Notes
Bolstered Array	Gain +2 Shells.	Not available with the Aspect of Hel.
Fetching Array	Your Shells fly back to you automatically and 100% faster.	Cannot be combined with Destructive Array. Not available with the Aspect of Hel.
Melting Tackle	Your Special deals +600 damage to Armor.
Wide Grin	Your Attacks fire your Shells all at once in a spread pattern.	When using the Aspect of Melinoë, the Wide Grin effect does not count Shells as spent and awaiting retrieval. As a result, it does not receive the expected Power boost and instead gains no Power increase. When using the Aspect of Medea, after your Attack explodes, there will be a slight delay when Shells bounce on the ground. During this time, they cannot be picked up, even when using Specials or Fetching Array . These changes may disrupt the gameplay flow, making combo execution feel less smooth—though in return, all Shells are fired at once. Not available with the Aspect of Hel.
Sudden Driver	Your Specials are 35% faster
Colossus Driver	Your Specials have +30 Power and you take -30% damage while using them.
Mega Driver	Your Specials launch you ahead faster and deal +50% damage.
Twisting Crash	After your Special projectiles fire outward, they fire inward.
Boosted Ignition	After your Dash or Specials, your Attacks are faster and have +15 Power.	Boosted Ignition only affects the next Attacks after performing a Dash or Specials.
Destructive Array	Whenever your Shells land, they deal 50% of your Attack damage around them.	Cannot be combined with Fetching Array. Not available with the Aspect of Hel.
Possessed Array	Your Shells fire your Attack whenever retrieved, but make you lose 25.	This cost remains fixed, unaffected by any modifiers that would normally increase or decrease it (e.g., Talent). Triggers any boons or upgrades that interact with Ω Attack (e.g., Exceptional Talent, Weed Killer, Fine Line) without increasing the cost. If is depleted, the effect is disabled until you regain at least 25. It is advisable to avoid selecting the Gagged curse from Chaos, as all actions triggered by the Possessed Array upgrade are treated as Ω Attack, potentially causing rapid loss if not carefully managed. Not available with the Aspect of Hel.
Looming Ignition	Your Attacks gain +50% damage and blast size over 0.7 Sec. before they explode.	Currently Bugged: when using the Aspect of Medea, the Attack explosion size instantly reaches its maximum instead of gradually increasing over 0.7 seconds. However, the damage boost follows the Aspect of Medea's delayed explosion timing (3 seconds), resulting in little damage benefit while fully benefiting from the increased blast size. Not available with the Aspect of Hel.
Venerated Relic	Your Valkyrie form lasts +3 Sec.
Leering Glance	Your Attack shots bounce toward +1 and deal +15% damage on the successive hit.
Runic Driver	Your Specials fly faster and deal +15% damage for each foe struck.
Garmr Gaze	Your Attacks shoot +25% farther and deal +25% damage.

Trivia[]

Ravalanath is a Hindu guardian deity who protects his worshippers from climatic disasters, witchcraft, and snakebites. The irony of a weapon related to witchcraft sharing its name with this Hindu deity may be intentional.
The title of adjudicator implies that Revaal once served as one of the judges of the dead in Greek mythology.
The Aspect of Medea is the only one where it doesn't take the shape of a skull, instead looking like a throwable potion.
