Crystal Skulls

**Crystal Skulls** are special Usable Items which can be collected throughout the Eg-Lana ruins. Each skull collected contains an epitaph which can be read using the Skulls application, revealing story information about the Sky People. There are twelve skulls in total, all of which must be collected to complete the game.

For the specific usage of the skulls, see Nibiru.

* Climbing up a ladder from (A-3), place a weight on the pedestal at the bottom of the room to get the large platform on the left to start moving. Then, use the Feather to double-jump into the left side of the platform, and place a weight on the dais hidden inside of the platform.
