As it is a memory cipher, that is it requires the correct sequence as a genuine memory from the user, it cannot be brute-forced even with the correct sequence until all parts have been memorized by the Operator.

The waypoint leads to a unique Orokin Memory Cipher terminal that cannot be bypassed, so Ordis suggests searching the area for clues. The Operator tells Ordis that Excalibur Umbra tried to attack Ballas, surprising Ordis as Warframes were supposed to be controlled through Transference. Location of Somachord Explore Lua: Pavlov, Lua Remembering that Ordis detected trace minerals from Lua on the nikana, the Operator suggests searching there. However, the data to build this Warframe is insufficient. Ordis has synthesized the discovered traces in the Foundry as a new Warframe: Excalibur Umbra. Once this is accomplished, extraction awaits, with Ghouls preparing for another ambush.

A Somachord fragment can be found under the walkway's right side at the courtyard's entrance.

Remains - from the entrance to the area look on the outside left of the circular area on the minimap, near a tall stone covered in vines.

The helmet - to the left of the nikana, down some steps near the large rock.

The shawl cloth - hanging from a stone surface to the rear-right side of the graveyard.

The Skiajati nikana - embedded right next to the tree.

Equip the Codex Scanner or Synthesis Scanner ( Helios will work as well) and search around for traces of the Warframe (looking from the entrance towards the cherry blossom tree):

Behind the door leads to a large courtyard, the same one shown in the Operator's vision. As the door mechanism slowly opens, swarms of Ghouls appear and attack. Follow the waypoint, leading to an Orokin door covered in vines which must be destroyed. Investigate Sentient Energy: Lith, Earth The Operator touches the helmet and sees a vision of a black and gold Warframe being subdued and obliterated on Earth by Ballas and Sentients. The player is prompted to examine her helmet in the Orbiter's Personal Quarters. On starting the quest, the Lotus's whisper can be heard, calling for the Tenno. Please finish the quest before proceeding.Īfter completing Apostasy Prologue, players may start this quest in the Codex. The following article/section contains spoilers. Umbra as the hand, the Operator as the soul. The Operator intervenes in this event, telling Umbra that he doesn't have to relive this event in solitude, instead, they will face this grief together through the duality of mind and body. He contains the key to the secrets of the Warframes themselves.Īfter multiple tries, the Operator eventually accesses Umbra's final memory: killing his own son Isaah when the Infestation takes over his body and Ballas forces him to act through the modified transference bolt. They chase down Umbra as more entries of the Vitruvian become unlocked by accessing his memories. The memory abruptly ends, and the Operator finds out that Umbra has escaped the ship, rejecting Transference. A Dax soldier subjected to injections of a Helminth Infestation strain to produce skin-grafted armor and modified organs, akin to the typical Warframe design process during the Old War. The Tenno learns of Umbra's origins as a personal punishment from Ballas upon a Dax soldier for spying on him during his late betrayal of the Orokin. Upon equipping him in the Arsenal, he immediately goes berserk and damages his own helmet to reveal an eye, then pins the Operator into a wall until they enter his mind using Transference. Uploading the Vitruvian into the ship's mainframe gave the ability to craft Excalibur Umbra. This Vitruvian contained recordings made by Ballas on his betrayal to the Orokin during The Old War and the origin of Warframes. A visit to Lua yielded a Vitruvian device found within a containment lab that belonged to Ballas. Trace minerals on Umbra's Skiajati Nikana suggest that more information can be found on Lua. Ordis attempts to recreate him in the Foundry based on scans of his remains but lacks sufficient data to do so. The Warframe in question, Excalibur Umbra, was out of sight - only his remains survived his fight with the Sentients. As the Operator touches the helm, visions of a Warframe being restrained by Ballas and Sentient fighters flow in their mind, prompting them towards Earth to investigate. Her voice directs them towards her helmet within the Orbiter's Personal Quarters. The Tenno hears faint whispers of the recently abandoned Lotus. 2.1 Investigate Sentient Energy: Lith, Earth.
