Plains of Eidolon



  • Let’s delve into the Plains of Eidolon, Warframe’s expansive open-world update. Whether you’re a seasoned Tenno or a fresh-faced recruit, this guide will help you navigate the vast plains and make the most of your time there.
1. Getting Started: Archwing Launcher Segment:
    Before venturing into the Plains, consider researching the Archwing Launcher Segment (if your clan hasn’t already). While not essential, this device significantly enhances your mobility within the update. Once constructed, it allows you to summon an Archwing—Warframe’s jetpack equivalent—anytime while exploring the Plains. Here’s why it’s handy:

  • Efficient Travel: Fly over enemy encampments and inaccessible terrain.
  • Group Play: You can also summon Archwings for your friends to keep up with you.


    • Keep in mind that constructing the launcher requires rare resources and some patience. New players will need to unlock Earth and complete secondary objectives to access their Archwing.
2. Exploring the Plains: Activities and Tips:
    The Plains of Eidolon offer a wealth of activities, but they can be overwhelming. Here’s a breakdown
  • a. Mining and Fishing:
    • Mining: Use a mining laser to extract valuable gems and minerals from rocks. These resources are essential for crafting and upgrading.
    • Fishing: Equip a fishing spear and catch fish in the lakes and rivers. Different fish yield unique resources.
  • b. Monster Hunting: Eidolons:
    • Eidolons: These colossal creatures appear only at night. Assemble your squad before sunset.
      • Teralyst: Start with the Teralyst. Defeat and capture it for valuable rewards.
      • Gantulyst: Once you’ve mastered the Teralyst, face the Gantulyst.
      • Hydrolyst: The most challenging Eidolon. Prepare well before taking it on.
  • c. Eidolon Shards:
    • Nighttime Farming: Visit the Plains during the night to find Eidolon Shards and defeat the world bosses.
    • Lures: Charge Lures with Vomvalysts to improve your loot chances and obtain Radiant/Brilliant Shards

Remember, the Plains of Eidolon are both beautiful and complex. Whether you’re chasing Eidolons, mining gems, or soaring with your Archwing, enjoy your time in this vast landscape, Tenno!
