Vex Cranium: Difference between revisions

''Vex Craniums'' are severed heads of [[Vex]] that are used for many different purposes across [[Destiny 2]]'s lifespan.

As a [[Relic]] weapon, wielding a Vex Cranium moves the user's camera to third person. All their active abilities become unable. Using the "fire" button makes the Cranium shoot a powerful elemental beam, its element depending on the activity it appears in. Once a cranium's energy is exhausted, it disappears from the user's hands.

Vex Craniums first appeared in the [[Leviathan, Eater of Worlds]] [[Raid Lair]] where they were used against [[Argos, Planetary Core]] and it's rubble shell. In this encounter Guardians had to find Vex Craniums in the arena and bring them to an altar where they were charged with either [[Void]], [[Arc]], or [[Solar]] energy to be used to destroy Argos' matching elemental quantum mines it arms on its rubble shell to wipe out the Guardians.

In the second encounter against Argos itself the Craniums were used to use Argos' own attack against it by charging them with an elemental flame at an altar like before and guiding elemental orbs Argos used to charge its attack into one of its shields weak points to expose Argos.

The Vex Craniums made another appearance in the [[Season of Opulence]]'s [[Menagerie]]. In this mission they were used in the Crystals encounter where the players needed to destroy [[Harpy|Harpies]] to get Vex Craniums to destroy royal nectar crystals.
