Onyx Rod

The Onyx Rod is an Artifact available in Part Two of Golden Treasure: The Great Green, but it only becomes useful in Part Three. Additionally, it can only be made useful if the player owns or has used the Crystal Fang at any point in the run. It is Vantage's counterpart to the Silver Rod, received from Darktooth.

Description
"You managed to win this from Vantage of the Skyward Reach in a brief contest. It seems to be some kind of black shinestone, but it is not obsidian or quartz."

Researched Description
"This seems to be some kind of key. It was designed to unlock something, though just what is unclear. The shinestone used is called "jet."

It is worth perhaps 20 shiny things in trade, though if you knew what it unlocked, it might be worth more."

Awakened Description
"It whispers veridian [sic] truths to itself.

The Awakened artifact seems to have the power to restore damaged flesh to its former healthy state, albeit only once.

It is worth around 50 shiny things in its charged state."

Usage
The Onyx Rod has no uses besides sale until Part Three. If the Crystal Fang is used at any point, Spiritkeeper gains the ability to go to a new location, where both the Onyx Rod and Silver Rod may be awakened and have their effects unlocked.

Once the Onyx Rod is awakened, it may be used during combat at any point to fully heal you. Unlike the Silver Rod, it cannot be used during the Grand Moot.
