The Argent Skull, "Revaal", is one of the Nocturnal Arms in Hades II. It features powerful Attacks that require retrieving spent skulls, and Dash Specials that assist in repositioning.

Argent Skull can be unlocked with 1 Bronze and 2 Glassrock after crafting all other weapons

Damage

Argent Skull's Attack costs 1 Shell and launches a skull that explodes for 50 damage. The skull bounces off of walls, and explodes when it hits an enemy or reaches it's maximum range.

Argent Skull's Special is a short dash which deals 25 damage to enemies.

The Ω Attack costs 1 Shell and allows Melinoë to target an AOE attack that deals 90 damage in a larger area. It costs 10 Magick.

The Ω Special is a long dash which deals 100 damage in a large area to both sides. It costs 20 Magick.

Unlike other weapons, the Argent Skull lacks a Dash Strike.

Once expended, a Shell can be recovered by moving to it, or waiting a few seconds. Shells can occasionally become stuck in inaccessible areas, but will still auto-recover after a short duration. The Argent Skull Special can be useful for safely recovering expended ammo.
