Warframe Quest Guide — The Story Arcs

Every mainline quest in Warframe, updated to the official guide and organized into the four story arcs — from Vor's Prize to the Hex. Work through each Arc in order and the story of the Origin System unfolds before you.



  • Tenno, these are the quests that drive the game forward. Progress is tracked automatically in-game via the Codex, and if you link your account to the official Warframe Quest Guide it will tell you exactly where to go next. Complete each Arc in sequence — you'll meet some of these quests again later as prerequisites for the grand cinematic conclusions.
Arc 1 — Awakening

  • Vor's Prize — Your awakening begins. Escape the clutches of Captain Vor and claim your first Warframe. Every journey in the Origin System starts here.
  • Saya's Vigil — Visit Cetus on Earth and help the hunter Saya, unearthing secrets on the Plains of Eidolon.
  • Vox Solaris — Arrive at Fortuna, the city beneath the Orb Vallis on Venus, and join Eudico's crew against the Corpus.
  • Once Awake — Respond to a stranded team's distress signal and uncover an Infested threat beneath Earth's surface.
  • Heart of Deimos — Descend into the Necralisk and gain the trust of the Entrati family on the Cambion Drift.
  • The Archwing — Recover the lost Archwing technology and take to the skies of the Origin System.
Arc 2 — The War Within Saga

  • Natah — Investigate a strange signal found on Uranus that hints at the true origins of the Tenno.
  • The Second Dream — Uncover the truth of what you really are. The moment the Warframe universe changes forever.

Arc 3 — The New War Saga

  • Prelude to War — The Sentient return. The Chimera Prologue and Erra set the stage for the coming conflict.
  • The New War — The cinematic conclusion the story has been building toward. Expect a marathon 2–6 hour playthrough — have your Necramech and Railjack ready.
  • Angels of the Zariman — The Zariman Ten Zero drifts home from the Void with monsters aboard; brighten its halls with your Operator's powers.

Arc 4 — The Void War Saga

  • Whispers in the Walls — Veil-breakers descend on the Sanctum Anatomica as the Murmur claw their way into reality.
  • The Lotus Eaters — A brief, haunting epilogue that bridges the Old War's echoes into the present.
  • The Hex — Travel to 1999 and join the Hex in a war that straddles past and Void. See our Warframe 1999 page.
  • The Old Peace — The most recent chapter: a winter-exhale saga of the Origin System settling the fallout of the newest war. Leads into the Descendia end-game.

Tenno, let the four Arcs be your roadmap. Complete them in order, keep your Arsenal ready, and may the Void guide your path!
