Alright, listen up, rivals. I’ve been grinding away in the Chronoverse, and I know many of you are hunting down those elusive achievements. Some of them are straightforward, like getting KOs or leveling up, but others require you to be a bit of a detective, a true cosmic sleuth. I’m talking about the Veni Vidi V…? achievement, which has a lot of players scratching their heads. It’s a quick, easy one to knock out, but only if you know exactly where to look.
My inbox has been flooded with questions about this, so I’m putting it all out there for you. We’re going to break down the exact location of the Celestial Codex, the specific actions you need to take, and some pro tips to make sure you get this done on your first try. Let’s get to it.
The Mystery of the Codex
First, let’s clear up some confusion. The Celestial Codex is not a gameplay item you can pick up, or a power-up you can use. It’s a specific object within one of the game’s maps that you need to interact with to unlock an achievement. Specifically, the “Veni Vidi V…?” achievement, which is part of the Chronoverse Saga.
The in-game description for this achievement is a bit vague, telling you to “Spray one time towards the Celestial Codex in Klyntar.” This simple instruction hides a few key details that can trip you up. The lore behind the Codex is also super cool. It’s described as a remnant left behind after a Symbiote bonds with a host, infused with powerful energies from Knull, the god of the Symbiotes himself. It’s a neat piece of world-building that adds to the game’s immersive feel, even if its in-game function is purely for a trophy.
Where to Find the Celestial Codex
The first and most important piece of information is the map. The Celestial Codex is found exclusively on the Klyntar: Symbiotic Surface map. If you’re not on this map, you’re not going to find it. This can be the trickiest part of the whole process, as Quick Match rotation can be, well, random. My advice is to keep queuing up for Quick Match or, if available, any event mode that features Klyntar in its map pool. Patience is a virtue in this hunt.
Once you land on Klyntar, you need to be on the attacking team. The Codex is located in the attackers’ initial spawn room, so if you load in on defense, you’ll have to wait for the next round or the next match to try again.
When you’re finally on the attacking side of Klyntar, here is the exact location of the Codex:
- Step 1, Spawn In and Look Back: When the match starts, don’t run forward to the objective. Immediately turn around and look for the back wall of your spawn room.
- Step 2, The Hanging Mass: The Celestial Codex isn’t a book or a scroll. It’s a massive, pulsating, tumor-like blob hanging from the ceiling. It’s hard to miss, once you know what you’re looking for. It’s a huge, organic-looking structure at the very back of the room, dripping with symbiotic goo.
- Step 3, The Spray: Now, for the most crucial part. You need to use one of your equipped sprays “towards” the Codex. This is where many players get stuck. I’ve seen some players try spraying the wall, the floor, or the ceiling around it, and it just doesn’t register.
The key is to spray on the console or the ground directly in front of the huge hanging mass. Don’t spray the blob itself, but the platform and terminal below it. Just one single spray is all it takes.
A Quick Checklist for Success
To make sure you don’t waste your time, I’ve put together a simple checklist. Follow these steps precisely, and you’ll have that achievement pop in no time.
| Step | Action | Important Note |
| 1 | Queue for a Quick Match or appropriate game mode. | You must get the Klyntar map. |
| 2 | Ensure you are on the attacking team. | The Codex is in the attackers’ spawn. |
| 3 | Wait for the match countdown to finish. | Do not spray before the match officially begins. |
| 4 | Locate the Celestial Codex in your spawn. | It’s the huge, hanging, pulsating blob at the back. |
| 5 | Use one spray on the ground or console directly below it. | One spray is enough, spamming may not work. |
| 6 | Finish the match. | You must complete the match for the achievement to register. |
I’ve heard some players say that leaving the match immediately after spraying will void the achievement, and from my own testing, I can confirm that’s the case. It’s a small detail, but it’s one that can save you a lot of frustration. Just play out the match, win or lose, and the achievement should pop at the end.
Tips for Getting the Klyntar Map
Since getting the right map is the first hurdle, here are a few tips to speed up the process.
- Patience is a Virtue: Quick Match map rotation is just that, a rotation. You’re going to have to be patient. I’ve had sessions where I got Klyntar three times in a row, and others where it felt like I was playing on Tokyo 2099 for an hour straight.
- Check Limited-Time Modes: Keep an eye on the in-game news for any special or limited-time modes. Sometimes, these modes feature a limited map pool, which can increase your chances of getting Klyntar.
- Play with a Squad: If you’re playing with friends, you can take turns checking for the map. If someone gets Klyntar on attack, everyone can quickly join their lobby, and you can all get the achievement in one go. Communication is key.
My experience has been that most of the Chronoverse achievements are designed to be discovered organically, but this one is a bit more obscure. It’s a cool little easter egg, and seeing it for the first time is a nice moment. Knowing the lore behind it makes the hunt even more satisfying.
Final Bottom
The Veni Vidi V…? achievement and the hunt for the Celestial Codex are a small but memorable part of the Marvel Rivals experience. It’s a testament to the game’s detail and its connection to the wider Marvel universe. While the Codex itself might not grant you any competitive advantage, the achievement it unlocks is a badge of honor, a sign that you’ve truly explored the game’s depths.So, queue up, keep an eye out for Klyntar, and once you’re on the attacking side, make a beeline for that back wall. Spray the console, play out the match, and get that sweet, sweet achievement point. The world of Marvel Rivals is full of secrets, and this is just one of many. Now get out there and start your hunt!
