The Book of Retribution is a Lexicon that can be wielded by Zexion in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It is his signature weapon, and the only one he wields in Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix. The Book of Retribution, unsurprisingly, is a book, and Zexion is often seen reading it while lounging in the Grey Area. It is unclear exactly what the pages of the Book of Retribution contain, but from what can be seen, it tells some sort of story and lacks a basic dictionary layout. The cover is a dark grey, embossed with three white, intertwined Nobody emblems. The back bears the outline of another Nobody logo. The spine of the book displays a Roman numeral for six, VI, along with the title "Hallucination: Another Side", superimposed over yet another Nobody symbol; in the North American and PAL versions of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, "Hallucination" is replaced with "Ignes Fatui" (Lat: "Delusions"). Both "Hallucination" and "Delusions" allude to Zexion's attribute of "Illusion", and the "VI" on the book references Zexion's rank as the sixth member of Organization XIII.
A book is a collection of bound paper containing written material or illustrations. All of Zexion’s weapons are lexicons—a type of book—and many are named after other types of books. "Retribution" is a synonym for "vengeance". While the Book of Retribution is one of Zexion's stronger Lexicons, it is slightly unwieldy, as the combo finisher of his ground combo does not have the attack range that some of his other weapons do. When he is on the ground, Zexion's combo is comprised of a forward slam, twin horizontal slams, and then a forward toss of the Book of Retribution. When Zexion is performing his aerial combo, he will smack enemies twice in a left-to-right fashion, then finishing the combo by throwing the Lexicon forward. Pressing will cause Zexion to perform both a forward and upper slam, the -Combo ending with a toss of the Book of Retribution, and his aerial combo's combo finisher.

You can dodge this attack by gliding (while in the air, analog + □) around the area. This attack is the best way to spot which book is Zexion.

Press ∆ to shuffle the pages and find "Release," "Sneak Away," or "Regain." Also, you can use words such as "Treasure" or "Heal" to get some HP balls. Be careful of his meteor shower.

Ever wonder about the Lexicon, period? My version of Zexion's Lexicon, enjoy! I do not own Kingdom Hearts.Axel was hiding out in Marluxia's garden under a bush of red roses reading Zexion's Lexicon. Axel strokes the cover smugly, he was successful in taking the Lexicon, and right from under Zexion's nose. He smirked to himself while flipping through the pages, "Ha! Zexion will never look out here. He hates Marluxia with a passion...it says right here."Marluxia put together bouquets of roses and left them on every windowsill, table, and flat surface in the castle.
I burned the bouquets he left in my room and the library. The smell was making me sick. That was a bad idea though, it released a sickly rose smell into the air...I must scheme my revenge.It is not written that Zexion hates Marluxia, Axel. Axel freaks out and scrambles out from under the bush of roses, "What the hell was that?"It is me Axel, the Lexicon. Axel's eyes widen, "Whoa, Zexy's book speaks?""Wait...does Zexion know this?" Of course, how do you think Zexion received the nickname "The Cloaked Schemer"?"Ah, so your the mastermind behind Zexion." "That's some good blackmail material. So, if you're really the Lexicon you must know what Zexion wrote..."Yes, of course, but I don't get your point."Did Zexion write anything juicy? Some scandalous gossip would be nice. I can't find anything interesting in this book, it has like twelve-hundred pages." Your definition of interesting must be different than mine...Check page 652.Axel hurriedly flips to the said page...and pukes in a nearby bed of pink roses.
I can't believe Zexion can read minds."I thought it was obvious."Why would he read Xigbar's mind?" Axel asked, still shuddering.Zexion was deeply disturbed when he gazed into Xigbar's mindscape. That is why he wrote his account in the Lexicon."Wait, did you say Lexicon? I thought you were the Lexicon."I was referring to the material Lexicon you hold in your hands, I am the spirit of the Lexicon.Axel didn't answer, he just sat on the grass beside the rose patch with a confused looked on his face.Axel looked up in annoyance. "Anyway, is there anything else interesting in this book?"That is a broad subject. "Okay, anything juicy that's not wrong...like Xigbar's mind." Well, there is a section in the book containing chapters on all of Organization XIII's members.Axel smiled wickedly, "Perfect. Wepon:Ethereal Blades, wields the power of nothingnessAxel flips to the next chapter, bored. Axel finds himself at chapter eight in his frenzy to escape the chapter on Xigbar. "Oh, what did Zexion write about me?"
Axel says and smirks evilly.Axel, the Flurry of Dancing Flames.Weapon:Chakrams, wields the power of fireAxel is well known as the psychopathic pyro around the castle. He apparently owns the rights to the phrase "Got it memorized?" in eight worlds.Axel smirks and mutters, "Yeah, eight worlds, Zexion. He flips past the chapters on Demyx, Luxord, Marluxia(Whose chapter is filled with hidden hate messages in between the lines.), and Larxene. Roxas, the Key of DestinyRoxas is in a close friendship with Axel and Xion. He often goes to Twilight Town after a mission and eats sea-salt ice cream with them. Roxas is the key to Kingdom Hearts for he is the only member of the Organization who can collect hearts other than Xion."Roxas and me are close friends?" Axel asks nobody in particular.That is merely an opinion statement. "What pages are Zexion's diary entries on?" Axel asks the Lexicon.The Lexicon seems to answer with great reluctance, From page 500 to page 1000.Axel flips eagerly to the pages and starts reading the entries with vigor.
He smirks occasionally, but is otherwise silent as he reads Zexion's personal diary."Axel asks while reading.You hid out here in Marluxia's garden to avoid Zexion. Did you ever think of any of the other garden's visitors?"No one comes out here except Marly."What if Marluxia came out to the garden, should you even be here?"That's why I hid in the bush." Not realizing that he is sitting next to the bush, in the line of sight of any random passerby.Axel huffs but looks behind him. Marluxia is tending to the roses in the middle of the garden, Axel is sitting in the northern corner.The Flurry of Dancing Flames curses and scrambles under the rose bush with the Lexicon. "Can Marly hear you?" Axel whispers to the Lexicon.Only the holder of the book hears my voice.Axel visibly relaxes, relived that the Lexicon wasn't heard. He'd have many questions to answer about that.The Graceful Assassin waltzes gracefully (hence his nickname) to the bush Axel hides under. He strokes the roses and whispers sweet nothings to them.
