Requiem Mods are a special subset of Parazon Mods, each one an enigmatic phrase fragment of a complete Requiem Sequence, thus the only way to permanently sever a Kuva Lich or Sisters of Parvos's Immortality.
Overview[]
Trading some Platinum for a rank 0 Oull from another player.
Requiem Mods do not possess any polarity or drain, and hold up to 3 charges per Mod for a Mod of rank 0. The number of charges is indicated by the number of bright pink dots above the word "PARAZON" on the Mod's icon. Up to 3 distinct Requiem Mods may be equipped at any given time, that is, only one copy of each Requiem Mod can be equipped at any given time (e.g. one cannot have 2x Fass equipped at the same time, nor 2x Oull).
On creation of a Kuva Lich or Sister of Parvos, they generate a random passphrase of 3 different Requiems, in order from left to right. Oull acts as a wildcard that can replace any Requiem. Generating murmurs via defeating Kuva Lich's Thralls or Sister of Parvos's Hounds will reveal the Requiems for their passphrase, but not the order. To defeat the nemesis, players must slot in Requiem Mods and continually test and swap them around until their Mercy eventually succeeds.
Once a Requiem Mercy is successful, each equipped mod will increase in rank by 1 and thus be drained of one of its charges (losing one of the pink dots on their icon). At rank 3, or once all 3 charges are used up, the mod becomes Defiled and can no longer be used; in this state it can only be broken down into Endo, sold for Credits, or transmuted. 4 Requiem Mods (including rank 3 Defiled ones) can be transmuted into a single new, random, rank 0 (fully charged) Requiem Mod.
These mods are tradable between players at any mod rank (even at rank 3 Defiled) with a trade tax of a rare mod of 8,000 Credits 8,000. When trading, the rank of the Mod can be determined by both hovering the mouse cursor to check the number of the lit pink dots on mod's icon (with rank 0 having all 3 dots and rank 3 having none), and also will be shown in text on the trading confirmation dialog - just as it would be for any non-Requiem Mod.

The platforms around the Cosmic Clock, which can be unlocked by acquiring ranks with Entrati and Necraloid, give access to recordings of Albrecht Entrati, each of which begin with a definition of one of the eight known Requiem words (excluding Oull):
Xata (Truth) ▾▾
"Xata. (Truth). It began long before us, we who now live our perfect and dull, endless lives. It began long before these moon-palaces and body-markets hurling around our golden sun. It began long before our light-coil thinkers, our radiation wars, our oil, smoke. It began with us. The continuity and its twin, wanderlust. The need for unseen shores deep in our marrow. No judge, jester, queen, or king can escape this old blood. We are nomads, eternal. And when no ocean, mountain, or sky could contain us... our gaze hungered star-ward. Afar, they mocked us with their brittle light. Winking and jeering like dangling Ayatans, forever out of reach, illuminating the truth: immortal as we are - we die with the sun. That's where I come in." (download, history)
Jahu (Form) ▾▾
"Jahu. (Form). My departure was a day less than any other. When I stepped inside the Bell, I saw no crowd through its seriglass. No skeptical onlookers. No regal sendoff. They all had given up on me and my paradoxical formulations. The wasted years had shown the Void to be just that. Nothing. No energy. No entanglement. No form. To space-faring ambitions, a dead end. On the day, my laboratory was mostly vacant of witnesses, most of all, of expectation. Only my sluggish attendants, my sagacious Kavat, Kalymos, and of course, my daughter. I had raised her alone but with inconsistent vigor. In those eyes, her mother's, I did see a terrible reflection. Of a man that did not exist. A brave and principled man about to make history. In truth, he was a Void himself. A outcast, a joke, a nothing. Driven by my humiliation. Failure had made me bitter and reckless. I would dive into the depths myself to prove them all wrong. I gave the signal. My daughter grasped the lever. Kalymos, then, belted out a desperate, rasping growl. But it was too late." (download, history)
Vome (Order) ▾▾
"Vome. (Order). The calipers yawed open the wall between worlds, stretching there a black, trapezoidal gap. A door. A mouth. It yawned in the light of the room, splintering it to mesmerizing, unearthly hues. And I, inside the Bell, dropping obliquely towards it from my gallows. Mass and time rippled as a sudden vortex jawed before me. My head was vapor, my feet, lodestone. The Bell around me, flexed like a rat paralyzed in a winding, gulping snake. I faltered in the awe of it, stumbling against the seriglass and, with that, shifted the Bell's path through the wall. It grazed the caliper membrane, the edge of the door. No worldly edge was as thin, as sharp as could split even light. As the bell faintly grazed it, the seriglass was all at once rendered like strips of flesh by Dax blade. My enclosure was beheaded in an instant, but still, I fell... sideways... Into the void." (download, history)
Fass (Chaos) ▾▾
"Fass. (Chaos). Death was on me; I was certain. I was face-down, eyes clenched. My heart pulsing the last of its seconds, and my lungs burning the last of its air. A sudden nostalgia gripped me. I grasped desperately, for memory, of a storm, just passed, the fumbling pitch of a child's song... yet all these thoughts seemed to steal away from my mind like smoke through a vent. I would die empty. I then became aware of another sensation. Physical. A web of pain, needles itching into my arm. At once I realized: I was alive! Laying in the Bell's shattered seriglass! I groped the ground. Warm stone. The floor of my laboratory. So: I had never left... and so: I had failed. Again. I heard a crunch alongside me. Someone stepping through the shattered glass. With great shame, I gasped and rose my head to face my daughter above me. But as I opened my eyes, it wasn't her. It was me." (download, history)
Ris (Light) ▾▾
"Ris. (Light). The senselessness of it, the paradoxic, the vague untime form. I was alone, but not. For I stood there confronted by myself. A twin, but no brother. A reflection but with dimension. Behind him, no horizon, but a vast broiling sea of caustic light pierced at random by black-pin stars. And closer, around me, a gale of flowing vapor. Profane in color, billowing relentlessly into the nascent lack, seeking all directions. I was standing on a precipice of familiar stone, jagged and unanchored, as though cleaved directly from the very floor of my laboratory. I wondered at the vapor's path, smoking outward more, leaving behind now, the walls, the filigree gold, the rare cuts of marble from my home. I knew at once the vapor's source. I turned away, back toward the wall, the trapezoid I had yawed into it. Vapor erupted inward at the gap, but not just from there. For as I rolled my eyes back, I saw the same... A great-steam of scintillation, smoking from my skull. Dumb in awe, I faced toward my chimerical twin. He spoke." (download, history)
Khra (Time) ▾▾
"Khra. (Time). An old name, unspoken in the centuries since my mother reared me. A soft hiss, soothing as a viper's gaze. Little Bengel. The other reached out, offering his hand, gliding toward me without moving, as though the distance between us was now collapsing. A confusion, most euphoric, filled my mind. With the shred of wit that remained, I decided that I should run for my life. At once, crazed and frantic, I fled. But I made no forward progress. Instead, the word compressed evermore around me, as though I were an anchor pulling the shore to reach. When I arrived at the door, or rather, the door arrived at me, I howled, hurling myself inside. Out. And then and there, I was. Lost and unlost. Howling on the floor in harmony with my wretched Kalymos. Lacerated in flesh and heart. Scattered as the bell glass. Spilling blood and stomach on the cold, stone floor. But I sensed the other there, at the wall's breach behind me, reaching still. I screamed, but my voice was gone. Forever. I looked, but my eyes would never see again. I swept my fist across the floor, snatching broken shards. And in gripping tightly, I filled my hands with ink. Close it! I wrote." (download, history)
Netra (Decay) ▾▾
"Netra. (Decay). Time, to us, is all but conquered. Our sacred Kuva moves us on to new skin. We numb to our daily, yearly, trifles... and remedy those memories that bring lasting misery. With all our misdeeds, our excess, our indignity... we are haunted by nothing. But not for me. For with each passing day, there grew a tumorous idea. It was minute in those early days: The pale reaching digits severed on the floor... studied with reverence, with greed. And it swelled in the latter days: the regal domes, the Rail dedications, the unholy Zariman parade. I had put the stars to reach, but at what cost? I never spoke of him, that man, trapped in the wall. And while there have been countless souls who have followed me through, with their light-skippers, and field-wave skins and vari-eyed instruments... not a single one ever saw him. Me. And so it is that I will not take the Kuva now. Or ever again. This is the last skin I'm in. Because of this idea: That I cannot be sure. That in all that smoked commotion, in all that panic and fear, in that bending light and blinding dark... was it I who escaped? Or the other?" (download, history)
Lohk (Void) ▾▾
"Lohk. (Void). From brooding gulfs are we beheld by that which bears no name Its heralds are the stars it fells, the sky and earth aflame Corporeal laws are unwrit, as suns and love retreat To cosmic madness, laws submit, though stalwart minds entreat In luminous space, blackened stars, they gaze, accuse, deny Roiling, moaning this realm of ours in madness, lost shall die Carrion hordes trill their profane accord with eldritch plans To cosmic forms from tangent planes, we end as we began" (download, history)
Whispers in the Walls reveals that the Requiem Words are part of a mysterious language called Voidtongue. Albrecht was able to decipher these few worlds, yet much of Voidtongue still remains untranslated.
Trivia[]
Lohk is a poem formed by the other Requiems Mods except Oull, in the order of: Lohk - Xata - Jahu - Vome - Ris - Fass - Netra - Khra. This is also the order in which they appear in Requiem Relics.
The Maya-style glyphs that are drawn on the Mods were also used by the Entrati for security measures inside the Isolation Vaults. These images appear to be inspired by the Infested landscape of Deimos, where the Entrati's base of operation is located.
Xaku's first three abilities are all somehow related to the Requiem Mods:
The Lost are mentioned in the second line of Fass' description, while the names of its three sub-abilities (Gaze, Accuse, Deny) appear in that of Ris'.
Vome and Fass share their name with two of the mods which, according to Albrecht Entrati's recordings mean "Order" and "Chaos" accordingly.
The initial placeholder text for Netra (before receiving original verses) was an excerpt from the second stanza of H.P. Lovecraft's "Nemesis", as seen in Devstream 132.
Prior to Update 31.6 (2022-06-09), Oull had a unique static icon. This was changed to shift between all other Requiem icons to clarify its purpose. The unique static icon can still be seen when performing a Mercy.
The exact same dialogue can later be heard during the opening and conclusion of Whispers in the Walls, which, when enabling the subtitles, reveals the script to be "VOULL NE XATA VOK, MARA LOHK?"
