The following article/section contains spoilers. Please finish the quest before proceeding.

In order to unlock this quest, the player must complete the Pluto to Sedna Junction. Upon completion, the player will be awarded with the Hidden Messages Quest, which can be started from the Codex.

Riddle One[]

Upon starting the quest, Ordis delivers an inbox message to the player, reciting an inscribed riddle:

Three parts, three acts, three riddles for thee –
to revive the one wielding fantasy
Ancient gods so cruel, once ruled from on high

Can you name their peak where the land meets the sky?

The answer to this riddle is Olympus, Mars. In Greek Mythology, Mount Olympus, the highest mountain in Greece, was considered as the only place where the land scrapes the sky – At the same time, Mount Olympus is known as the home of the twelve Olympian gods of the ancient Greek world. Olympus Mons, which is located on Mars in real life, is also the tallest mountain in the solar system.

Interruption[]

Interruption is an Exterminate mission using the Infested Ship tileset, with Infested enemies around level 30. During the mission, the Lotus receives cryptic transmissions about a Warframe fighting Sentients during The Old War, undeterred by the overwhelming odds in spite of the Lotus's orders to retreat.

After completing the mission, the player will receive the Mirage Neuroptics Blueprint.

Riddle Two[]

Ordis discovers another transcription on the Neuroptics:

To build the one you think witty,
seek the nymph who sang oh so pretty.
She lured him in with her song and grin,

his wife must've thought it a pity.

Calypso, Saturn. In Greek Mythology, Calypso was a nymph who is popularly remembered for her role in Homer's epic poem, Odyssey. It is said that Calypso enchanted her singing to trap the fabled Greek hero Odysseus in her island and make him her immortal husband – forcing Odysseus to be separated from his wife, Penelope.

Intervention[]

Intervention is a 15-minute Survival mission set in an Infested Ship with their level ranging from 25-35. The Lotus receives more cryptic transmissions where the Warframe has been captured by the enemy, unable to be saved.

The mission rewards Mirage Systems Blueprint.

Riddle Three[]

The systems reveals one final riddle:

One more act before your prize is caught.
An ancient sea creature, take a whirl or not?
Look for the monster that swallowed sailors of yore.

Make a mistake and you're sunk. Nothing more.

Charybdis, Sedna. In Greek Mythology, Charybdis was a sea monster, later rationalized as a whirlpool and considered a shipping hazard in Strait of Messina. It is said that three times a day, Charybdis swallowed a huge amount of water, before belching it back out again, creating large whirlpools capable of dragging a ship or even a galleon underwater.

Resolution[]

Resolution is a Hive Sabotage, levels ranging from 30-40. The Lotus receives the last imprint of Mirage Chassis Blueprint; Mirage tells the Lotus not to despair before she is disintegrated by the enemy.

With the final component in hand, Ordis reads out the last transcription:

Three acts complete, the end draws near,
soon Mirage will cause fear.
Memory lost, to be reborn,

a new warrior rises, duty sworn.

The quest is considered completed and player can start building MirageIcon272 Mirage with her blueprint from the Market.
