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


==Overview==
==Leviathan, Eater of Worlds==
As a [[Relic]] weapon, wielding a Vex Cranium moves the user's camera to third person, and all their active abilities become unusable. 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.


===Leviathan, Eater of Worlds===
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.

==Menagerie==
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.

Vex Craniums made their last appearance in [[Season of the Undying]]'s flagship team-based mission known as [[Vex Offensive]] where they were dropped by [[Gate Technician]]s and used to destroy [[Oracle]]s that attempted to expunge the invading Guardians. They also played a role in the final encounter where they were used to weaken and destroy [[Crotheon, Gate Keeper]] or [[The Undying Mind]]'s invulnerability shield so they could be damaged.

===Dares of Eternity===
Vex Craniums reappear in [[Dares of Eternity]], where they are obtained by killing [[Xûr's Headbearer]] [[Goblin]]s, and used to take down the shields of the [[Gatekeeper of Eternity|Gatekeepers of Eternity]]. They only appear in their Void variation, and are thus called Void Craniums.
 
===Terminal Overload===
Vex Craniums reappear in [[Terminal Overload]], where they are dropped on the third phase of the first two stages by [[Arc Cranium Bearer]]s. Players will need to pick up these in order to destroy the vex nodes that spawn in around the [[Crux of Darkness|Pyramid Crux]] in order to progress. They reappear in the final stage of the public event, where they are used to destroy Vex Nodes spawned in when fighting [[Protometon, Nexial Hijacker]].
 
==Trivia==
*Vex Craniums are one of the few ways to cause friendly fire in Destiny.
