EDIT:More Found
There are 5? Skulls (That we know of) In the IX PAP Room which stand out from the rest. The skulls are smaller and also darker than the rest and have a greater resolution. Skull Location
Once activated, the skulls will play audio and list of a bunch of elements.
Skull 1: Repeats the following Elements
Helium
Argon
Uranium
Sulfur
Nobelium
Tungsten
Skull 2: Repeats the following Elements
Oxygen
Nitrogen
Cerium
Yttrium
Oxygen
Uranium
Protactinium
Sulfur
Sulfur
Thorium
Iodine
Sulfur
Gallium
Tellurium (Had trouble locating this last one) thanks to u/levitupper
Skull 3: Repeats the following Elements
Thorium
Iodine
Sulfur
Polonium
Tungsten
Erbium
Lithium
Vanadium
Einsteinium
Fluorine
Oxygen
Rhenium
Vanadium
Erbium
Skull 4: Repeats the following Elements
Thorium
Iodine
Sulfur
Polonium
Tungsten
Erbium
Polonium
Iodine
Sulfur
Oxygen
Nitrogen
Sulfur
Fluorine
Oxygen
Rhenium
Vanadium
Erbium
Skull 5: Repeats the following Elements
Helium
Argon
Uranium
Sulfur
Nickel
Neon
Iron
Argon
Thorium
Iodine
Sulfur
Polonium
Tungsten
Erbium
u/levitupper Pointed out that the elements were a simple code from the periodic table
Skull 1: is now saying "HEAR US NOW"
Skull 2: is now saying "ONCE YOU PASS THIS GATE."
Thanks to u/ttvsiluspvp for finding skull Location 3,4&5
Skull 3: is now saying “THIS POWER LIVES FOREVER.”
Skull 4: is now saying “THIS POWER POISONS FOREVER.”
Skull 5: is now saying “HEAR US, NINE FEAR THIS POWER.”
You can activate the skulls in any order, but they will always say the audio in the order listed here

Thanks for the credit. Imo there must be other bits to this, as "hear us now" sounds like the beginning of the phrase and "once you pass this gate" seems to be the beginning of a set of instructions, or possibly a warning, or even a hint. Shield upgrade or Odin's boat are still unsolved/glitched, maybe this ties into that.
My working theory is that there are at least two more skulls somewhere in the room, representing one for each god. I'm at work for the next two days and won't be able to check until Monday, but this is the first thing I'm doing if nobody has found anything before then.

u/Luciro is this the line you were talking about or something else?

u/Luciro Oct 28 '18
Nnnnope. Just the really obvious blood writing on the bottom floor with the fertilizer step. This is way cooler.

Are those alchemical? EDIT: THESE ARE DEFINITELY ALCHEMICAL SYMBOLS. EDIT 2: The same alchemical symbols for the elements used on Titanic, that 'alphabet'.

u/ttvsiluspvp Oct 28 '18
so are they linked or solvable in some similar way, I've no idea how cyphers work, just good at finding them

u/Luciro Oct 28 '18
Ugh, there are TONS of symbols here. More than an alphabet alone tbh.
The first symbol is that of Vitriol, either Sulfate, or essentially life essence. So...

EDIT: just found this one that bares a similar marking pattern do the one found in danu https://imgur.com/B3XYuB7

I'd also like to mention I've found 6 scrolls around the map that play audio files not sure if these are found, I've recorded locations and audio and can upload as needed

u/Levitupper Oct 28 '18
Scrolls I believe were found

u/ttvsiluspvp Oct 28 '18
No worries, have all 6 on tap ready to upload if we need them though

Did you try interacting with it in anyway, shooting it with the shield etc?

u/ttvsiluspvp Oct 28 '18
I didn't no, my teammate got tired as it's almost 6 am technically and he wanted to sleep, but I am on a coffee fueled rampage so I will keep looking >:)

u/ttvsiluspvp Oct 28 '18
So to add to this, found 4 alchemic-style cyphers, one in each of the 4 at various levels, not sure what relevance they are but I lost them in the comments so here is all 4 of them in one place, happy hunting

There's one in the bottom of danu(on one of the rocks along the wall) that looks much more similar to the ones you have pictured in Zeus and Odin. If I remember correctly, I also found another one of the long ones(like you have pictured for the danu one) in Zeus or Odin, I just dont remember for sure. I'm about to get on and hunt

There's also the line on the wall of a Danu zombie window that says 'Tir na nog will never accept you.' Tir na nog is the irish 'land of youth'.
My guess, the cult wants to access Tir Na Nog for eternal life, perhaps to overcome the NINE. As relevant to this, perhaps the skulls are also forewarning about access to this Tir Na Nog. Of course, they could literally be referring to the temple.
To me, perhaps there are different types of warnings for a reason? Chemistry would make sense for either Scar or Shaw, the blood writing for Diego or BEEFMAN.
Either way, it definitely feels like there are more skulls. Good luck everyone!
