Eidolons and Spidolons

January 10, 2019January 9, 2019 Medic 0 Comments boss fight, eidolon, fortuna, profit-taker orb, spidolon, warframe

After the Fortuna 2.0 update, there are now two massive bosses you can fight. They both have the same basic idea, being composed of adapting Sentient parts, requiring a little team work at first and being immune to various sorts of damage. In fact, the Orbs are actually made from bits of sentient stuff, hence why they’ve got the nickname Spidolons. But the two fights are very, very different. And not always in a good way. Let’s have a quick recap of how an Eidolon fight and how a Profit-Taker Orb fight works. Eidolon fights require you to take down… [Continue Reading]

The Trouble With Eidolons

May 2, 2018May 2, 2018 Medic 0 Comments boss battle, eidolon, hunts, meta, warframe

Eidolon hunts are cool. You follow a massive, wailing monster across the Plains, breaking it down bit by bit until it screams, falls silent and rises into the air, subdued by your lures and dragged off into nothingness. It’s really… quite horrific when you think about it, as the Teralyst just wanders around the Plains mourning the loss of its family and doing nothing else until we attack it. Then we capture it using a bunch of horrible Grineer drones and the spirits of their own mini brethren. But the problem is, if you want to kill an Eidolon or… [Continue Reading]

Or, if it's a Gantulyst or Hydrolyst, wait for the bastard to spawn from the middle of the lake or the edge of the lake.

How to Hunt an Eidolon

March 19, 2018March 23, 2018 Medic 0 Comments advice, boss, eidolon, guide, newbie, noob, tips, warframe

In light of the 23 minutes of raw footage of capturing Eidolons I posted on the SPUF of Legend Youtube channel, I should probably, you know, tell you how to hunt and capture an Eidolon of your own. Because that would be useful. Step 1: Complete the War Within. You NEED the dumb space kid for this. Step 2: Complete Saya’s Vigil, the quest for Gara, so you can talk to her pretending to be dead husband Onkko. Step 3: Speak to Onkko to get your Mote Amp, or better still, kill Vomvalysts and other non-Eidolon Sentients, steal their Sentient… [Continue Reading]

Arcanes in Warframe – Much Easier to Access

March 7, 2018March 7, 2018 Medic 2 Comments arcane, arcanes, eidolon, trials, warframe

As well as bringing the end of Trials, the most recent update changed how Arcanes work. Arcanes were originally items rewarded by players for completing a trial, and you could only get one per trial per day (one for the Law of Retribution, one for the Jordas Verdict and one for nightmare variants). The only way you could use them was to attach them to a cosmetic of some sort, either a Warframe helmet or a Syandana. This is, thankfully, no longer the case! Now, the only way to get an Arcane is to kill or capture an Eidolon. Each… [Continue Reading]

Teralysts, Gantulysts and Hydrolysts, oh my!

February 21, 2018February 25, 2018 Medic 0 Comments boss battle, eidolon, raid, ramble, sentient, warframe

The Shrine of the Eidolon update brought with it some new Eidolon related things, as one might expect. Honestly it would be pretty weird for an update named after a thing to not contain said thing. But yes, as well as the Teralyst, you can now fight two new Eidolons, both of which are fucking huge and way bigger than the Teralyst. But at the same time they both kinda just look like the Teralyst with some small changes. If you’re still here, I’ll assume you’ve completed the War Within. Because you need your dumb space kid. Teralysts, Gantulysts, Hydrolysts… [Continue Reading]
