This complete trinkets list for Slaughter Void covers all 21 artifacts, their unique effects, and exactly how to unlock them. Trinkets are the core of any successful run, defining your build from the Ashen Ossuary to the final confrontation with the Eye of Oblivion. They are the single most important factor in turning a doomed Revenant into an unstoppable force.
Unlike weapons or armor, trinkets provide powerful, build-defining passive abilities. You can equip up to three at once, and the right combination is often the key to surviving the game's brutal, procedurally generated Echoes. Understanding which trinkets synergize is the difference between melting a boss and being shattered in seconds.
What Are Trinkets and How Do They Work?
Trinkets are equippable artifacts that grant passive bonuses. They range from simple stat increases to complex, risk-reward mechanics that can fundamentally alter your playstyle. You begin each run with zero trinkets and must find them within the Echoes by defeating elite enemies, opening Void-touched chests, or completing hidden challenges.
There are two broad categories:
- Hallowed Trinkets: These offer straightforward, positive benefits. They might increase your damage, boost your defenses, or grant you utility like faster movement speed. They form the backbone of most stable builds.
- Cursed Trinkets: These artifacts offer immense power at a significant cost. A Cursed trinket might double your damage output but also halve your maximum health, or cause you to periodically lose Bone Dust. They are high-risk, high-reward items for experienced players who can mitigate their downsides.
The golden rule of trinkets is synergy. A single trinket is just a minor boost. Three trinkets working in concert create an engine of destruction. For example, combining an item that grants health on critical hits with two others that drastically increase your critical hit chance creates a powerful self-sustaining build.
The Full List of All 21 Trinkets

| Whispering Skull | (Cursed) Enemies no longer make sound, but you are invisible while standing still. | See secret unlock guide below. |

Top-Tier Trinket Builds for Your Revenant
Simply knowing the list isn't enough. The true power comes from combining these artifacts into devastating synergies. Here are three of the most effective builds that can carry you to the Eye of Oblivion.
The Glass Cannon
This build is all about ending fights before they begin. The goal is to stack so much damage that even bosses melt in seconds. It's a high-skill build that requires flawless dodging, as you'll be incredibly fragile.
- Trinket 1: Shattered God's Eye: The cornerstone. Every single hit is a critical hit, which enables other on-crit effects to trigger constantly. The downside is being a single hit away from death.
- Trinket 2: Focus Shard: While the God's Eye guarantees crits, the Focus Shard's +15% crit chance is converted into +15% critical damage by most weapons, making it a pure damage steroid in this build.
- Trinket 3: Blood-Soaked Writ: Since you're always one hit from death, you are technically always below 50% health. This trinket provides a permanent +40% damage boost with no additional downside for this setup.

The Untouchable Ghost
For players who prefer not to get hit at all. This build focuses on mobility, invincibility frames (i-frames), and controlling the flow of combat through superior positioning.
- Trinket 1: Mothwing Charm: An extra dash is invaluable for repositioning or dodging consecutive attacks. It's the foundation of your mobility.
- Trinket 2: Ephemeral Veil: This is the key. Gaining a full second of invulnerability after every dash allows for incredibly aggressive maneuvers, letting you dash through attacks to strike enemies from behind.
- Trinket 3: Serrated Sundial: Since you'll be dashing around constantly, a damage-over-time effect like Bleed is perfect. You can land a quick hit, dash away to safety, and let the Bleed effect chip away at enemy health.
The Void Leech
This build offers massive survivability through constant healing. It's forgiving and allows you to trade blows with even the toughest enemies, making it ideal for learning boss patterns.
- Trinket 1: Gnawed Covenant: The high-risk engine of the build. +100% lifesteal means every point of damage you deal heals you, but the constant Bone Dust drain means you can't be passive.
- Trinket 2: Butcher's Favor: This provides a secondary, more reliable source of healing. Killing weaker enemies in a boss arena will constantly top off your health.
- Trinket 3: Void-Drinker's Goblet: The damage scaling from this trinket is essential to make your lifesteal meaningful. As you kill enemies, your damage ramps up, which in turn increases the health you gain from Gnawed Covenant.
How to Find Secret and Cursed Trinkets
Some of the game's most powerful trinkets can't be found through normal play. They require completing obscure challenges or discovering hidden environmental puzzles. The most notorious is the Whispering Skull.
Unlocking the Whispering Skull
The Whispering Skull is one of the most unique Cursed trinkets, granting invisibility at the cost of all audio cues. Finding it is a trial of patience.
- Reach the Weeping Sanctum: You must be in the second biome.
- Find the Bell-Tower Room: Search for a rare side room that contains a large, cracked bell and no enemies. The room has a distinct, quiet ambiance.
- Stand in the Center: Position your character directly under the bell. Do not move, attack, or use any abilities.
- Wait for 60 Seconds: You must remain completely motionless for a full minute. As time passes, the screen will darken and faint whispers will become audible.
- Claim Your Reward: After 60 seconds have passed, the Whispering Skull will materialize on a pedestal in front of the bell. Picking it up will unlock it for all future runs.

This is a classic Slaughter Void secret: no explicit instructions, just environmental clues for the observant player. Keep an eye out for other strange rooms or enemy behaviors; they often hide similar secrets.
Slaughter Void Trinkets FAQ
How many trinkets can you equip at once? You can equip a maximum of three trinkets at any given time. Choose your combination carefully, as equipping a new trinket will destroy the one it replaces if your slots are full.
Can you upgrade trinkets? No, trinkets cannot be upgraded. Their effects are fixed. However, many trinkets scale with your character's base stats, so they naturally become more powerful as your damage, health, and other attributes increase throughout a run.
What is the rarest trinket in Slaughter Void? The Eye of the First Revenant is by far the rarest. It requires beating the entire game on the highest difficulty, "Void-touched," a feat fewer than 1% of players have accomplished. Its True Damage effect is a worthy reward.
Do trinket effects stack? Yes, the effects of different trinkets stack with each other. For example, the +25% Armor from Iron Vow and the +30% Maximum Health from Grave-Gorged Heart will both apply. However, you cannot equip two of the same trinket.
The Final Word
Trinkets are the heart of Slaughter Void's replayability. While your skill with the blade and dash is crucial, it's the clever combination of these powerful artifacts that will see you through the crushing difficulty of the Void. Experiment with every trinket you find. The seemingly useless Leper's Coin on one run might be the key component of a bizarre, game-breaking combo on the next. That discovery is what keeps us diving back into the Echoes.
