What Does the Celestial Codex Do in Marvel Rivals?
The Celestial Codex in Marvel Rivals does nothing in combat. It’s a Collectable: a lore item you unlock with 40 Chronoverse Saga achievement points, and it’s also a physical object on Klyntar maps. You can spray it on Symbiotic Surface for the “VENI VIDI V…?” achievement, and Celestial Husk names one of its capture areas after it.

What is the Celestial Codex in Marvel Rivals?
A story collectable tied to Klyntar, the symbiote world (think trophy shelf, not inventory). Collectables are lore items that sit in their own tab, each linked to a location, and you earn them from achievements, battle passes or events.
Thing is, the lore is the interesting part. In the game’s description, a Codex is the remnant a symbiote leaves inside its host after bonding, and gods corrupted by Knull carry one too. The Celestial Codex is one of these “Divine Codices,” and it has absorbed the same chronal energy that stirred Knull from his imprisoned slumber; now “his trapped essence seeks to rejoin its progenitor.” Season 3, The Abyss Awakens, leaned hard into exactly that story.
How do you unlock the Celestial Codex in Marvel Rivals?
Earn 40 achievement points in the Chronoverse Saga achievement category, then claim it on that category’s rewards page. It’s the first reward on the track. The next ones, Spider-Totem at 80 points and Thread of Fate after it, need more.
Chronoverse Saga achievements are mostly map tasks worth 5 points each, so 40 points means roughly eight of them. Easy, honestly. Most players get there just by playing normally and checking the tab now and then.
Does the Celestial Codex do anything in a Marvel Rivals match?
No. Put simply, owning it gives no stats, abilities or cosmetic changes to any hero. It sits in your Collectables tab. Nothing else.
So why do people think it does? Probably because the Codex is also a real object you can find, and even fight over, on two Klyntar maps. On Klyntar: Symbiotic Surface, the Codex sits at the back of the attacking team’s spawn area, and on Klyntar: Celestial Husk, a Domination map released with Season 3 on July 11, 2025, one of the capture areas is the Celestial Codex mission area. Capturing it counts for the “Celestial Pathway” achievement (5 points).
How to get the VENI VIDI V…? achievement
This is the achievement most people searching for the Codex actually want. The task text is “Spray 1 time toward the Celestial Codex in Klyntar,” worth 5 points.
- Play a match on Klyntar: Symbiotic Surface (a Convergence map) and be on the attacking team.
- Go to the back of your spawn area, where the Celestial Codex stands.
- Face it and use any equipped spray.
Didn’t count? Check that you were on the attacking side and on Symbiotic Surface, not Celestial Husk (an easy mix-up, since both are Klyntar maps). If you’ve never set up sprays, our page on the spray button in Marvel Rivals covers the controls on PC and console.
Is the Celestial Codex worth chasing?
As a reward, it’s a lore piece, nothing more (fun to read, useless in a fight). The achievements around it are worth doing, though, because Chronoverse Saga points also unlock the later rewards on the same track. For what actually changes your matches, the Marvel Rivals tier list is a better read. And if you came here for the Celestial Codex in Marvel Rivals, the short version: 40 points, one spray, zero combat effect.
