What Is the Celestial Codex in Marvel Rivals? How To Unlock & Use the Collectible

Marvel Rivals throws a lot of exciting content your way, but some items—like the Celestial Codex—have players scratching their heads. If you’re wondering what this mysterious collectible is and whether it has any practical use in the game, we’ve got you covered.

What Is the Celestial Codex?

The Celestial Codex is a collectible item in Marvel Rivals that can be unlocked through specific in-game achievements. While it may look cool in your inventory, its purpose is currently limited to providing lore.

When you inspect it, you’ll see the following description:

    “Just like the Codex left in one’s body after a Symbiote bonds with its host, the gods corrupted by Knull also possess this remnant. One of these Divine Codices, the Celestial Codex, is one of the more special in existence, as it has absorbed the same chronal energies that have stirred in Knull from his imprisoned slumber. Now, his trapped essence seeks to rejoin its progenitor.”

 

 

At the moment, the Codex doesn’t have any practical gameplay application—it can’t be equipped or used to enhance your characters. But some players speculate that future updates could bring new functionality to the Codex, especially since Marvel Rivals developers are known for surprising players with updates that expand the game’s lore and mechanics.

How to Unlock the Celestial Codex

To add this collectible to your inventory, you’ll need to tackle the Chronoverse Saga Achievements and earn 40 Achievement Points. Here’s how to do it:
    1.    Click on your profile icon at the top right of the screen.
    2.    Navigate to the Achievements section.
    3.    Select the Chronoverse Saga tab.
    4.    Complete the listed challenges to earn enough points to unlock the Codex.

Spraying Towards the Celestial Codex

One achievement that’s causing some confusion is the “Veni Vidi V…?” challenge, which asks you to spray towards the Celestial Codex.

Here’s the catch: this doesn’t refer to the collectible item in your inventory. Instead, it’s about an object on the Klyntar: Symbiotic Surface map.

How to Complete the Spray Achievement

Locate the Codex Object:

• If you’re playing on the Klyntar map as the attacking team, look for a glass door near your spawn location.
• The Celestial Codex object is inside this room, which will only unlock after the match begins.

Use a Spray:

• Once the door opens, approach the Codex object.
• Press “T” to open your communication wheel.
• Select any spray you have and use it on the Codex object to complete the challenge.

What’s Next for the Celestial Codex?

While the Codex may seem “useless” to some players now, its intriguing lore hints at a larger role in the game’s story. Will it tie into future updates? Could it unlock special powers or abilities down the line? Only time will tell.
