If y'all care about Warframe's lore at all, this adjacent department is extremely important and explains the strange inconsistencies and time jumps that happen for the rest of the quest.

In essence, this flashback sequence explains how time travel (or lack thereof) and parallel universes piece of work in Warframe. Before the Orokin discovered the Void, humanity believed in Presentism, the conventionalities that simply the present matters. The past is set in stone and the future is an abstruse concept.

The Wild Hunt

Warframe New War Quest Branch
QUEST BRANCH

With a Sentient bow in hand and a new goal, it's time to hunt downwardly the Warframe-Sentient hybrid Archons that dot the Sol System. This phase of the quest branches off slightly, allowing you to eliminate the Archons in whatever lodge yous see fit. In that location's no "best" Archon to fight get-go; fight whichever enemy seems interesting to you. All iii dominate fights are covered below. Nosotros'll but be focusing on the boss fights themselves, as the objectives proceeding each boss fight are trivial and don't require whatever guidance.

Annotation: The third Archon cannot be fought until much later in the quest. Save the Archon you remember will exist the hardest for last. We recommend leaving Nira for last.

Archon Amar

Warframe New War Amar Archon
  • Warframe: Rhino
  • Behavior: Aggressive, charging and leaping at the Drifter whenever possible

Amar shares many similarities with the Rhinoceros Warframe it's using equally a host. This Archon has iv main attacks:

  1. Charge: Amar volition go on all fours and charge you.
  2. Leap: Amar will leap into the air and hang at that place for a second before landing with a slam attack.
  3. Clones: When Amar takes a certain threshold of damage, it'll create an array of clones around you. You'll need to damage the clones until you hit the real Amar.
  4. Grab: If Amar gets inside melee altitude, information technology'll attempt to grab you lot. You lot'll need to mash the melee push to suspension its grasp.
    1. You can alter the tap input to "concord" through the options menu if you lot dislike quick time events.

This Archon as well has a few melee attack combos it'll attempt to use on you lot, simply most players won't meet them if they stay at mid-range—something nosotros recommend since you have an explosive bow and on-demand invisibility through Fume Screen. Fourth dimension your charges with the bow to constantly red crit Amar while it's on the ground. Should Amar leap into the air, immediately dodge to the side to avoid the attack. Use the aforementioned strategy if you encounter Amar get on all fours. For its clones, you'll want to burn down uncharged bow arrows to quickly kill them. If the clones are bunched close together, use the charged set on instead.

Amar has ii phases before it'll dice, both of which play out exactly the same. Go on your distance from this Archon, fire as many charged bow shots every bit you tin, and remember to apply your Restorative power whenever your HP drops to 200 or lower. Lowering Amar'southward HP to zero in its second arena volition end the fight.

Archon Boreal

Warframe New War Boreal Archon
  • Warframe: Loki
  • Behavior: Opportunistic, only attacking when it gets line-of-sight with you

Boreal uses abilities that either stun you lot or provide some sort of area denial. Hither's what Boreal is capable of:

  1. Fusion Strike: Just like Caliban's ultimate, Boreal will project three beams that converge, causing an explosion at the target area.
  2. Electric Ground: Boreal conjures an electrical segment of footing with its scepter.
  3. Electric Gaze: Boreal will lock eyes with you lot before releasing a beam of electricity.
    1. It'll apply a more than powerful variant of this at times, creating a suction field on impact.
  4. Screech: Boreal will begin to scream, projecting a dome effectually itself.
    1. Yous'll need to enter the dome and shoot Boreal to stop the attack.

Yous'll face up Boreal in the midst of an Globe forest. This dominate is all virtually managing your distance and sightlines. For the first loonshit, utilize the two trees near the entrance to go on your distance from Boreal. The copse will assist you avoid Boreal's projectiles and electric attacks. Hunhow might have stated how perceptive Boreal is, but information technology tin't detect you if y'all're in a Smoke Screen. Apply one if Boreal lowers your HP to safely employ a Restorative.

Every fourth dimension y'all lower Boreal's HP by 33%, it'll use its Screech attack to repel you. Yous'll need to push through the scream to enter the dome and striking Boreal. It's easiest to enter the dome by rolling and using quick slides (offset to slide and immediately finish). Hit Boreal while in the dome will end the attack and continue the fight. Boreal will deploy four Conculysts each time this happens, zippo a perfectly-charged bow can't counter.

At 33% HP, Boreal will retreat farther into the forest. Chase the Archon downwards and finish the fight. It uses the aforementioned attacks for the second phase, so keep using the same strategy. You won't have any trees to hide behind in the 2d arena, withal. Employ the mound at the center of the arena as a style of breaking sightlines with Boreal and its minions. Use a finisher on Boreal when it loses all of its HP to terminate the fight.

Archon Nira

Warframe New War Nira Archon
  • Warframe: Magazine
  • Behavior: Deceptive, irresolute engagement ranges and constantly repositioning

  4. Teleport: Nira volition teleport to a random location.
  5. Rip Line: Nira will use its snake caput to fling itself somewhere.
  6. Molt: Nira will begin to regenerate its health and charge a massive AoE blast.

For as many abilities as Nira tin can apply, it tends to only use Venom Spit and a repositioning power like Teleport. It will stick to mid-range as much equally possible. To brand this fight easier, try to fight Nira from a Smoke Screen; information technology can't striking yous if information technology can't run into you lot. You lot can also utilise this opportunity to utilize a Restorative to purge whatever Toxin status effects on the Drifter.

Whenever Smoke Screen runs out, y'all'll want to reposition to a location with some sort of cover. Being able to dodge Nira'southward projectile attacks is primal to surviving this fight. Should the Archon charge you, reposition to a new piece of cover. The Archon will kickoff using its Molt ability when it reaches around 50% HP, so exist quick to damage the dominate whenever you see an energy shield appear on the dominate.

Damaging the boss enough will strength Nira to retreat. Enter the new arena and finish the boss off, using the same tactics as before. It won't proceeds any new abilities here, although information technology will attempt to use its Molt ability more often and summon Conculysts every fourth dimension information technology goes invulnerable. Make good use of your bow, Smoke Screen, and nearby cover to take this Archon down.
