Adversaries

Learn how to defeat Kuva Liches and Sisters of Parvos in Warframe. This guide covers Requiem Mods, Murmurs, Tax System, and Railjack encounters.

Hey there, Tenno! So, you've heard about those powerful, persistent enemies in Warframe, right? They're often called Liches, Adversaries, or Nemeses, and they're basically boss-like foes who decide they want to take over parts of the Star Chart and steal your hard-earned loot. You can only have one of these tough nuts active at a time, and taking them down is a whole process. As of Update 30.5, we've got two main flavors: the Grineer Kuva Liches and the Corpus Sisters of Parvos. This guide will walk you through the similarities in how you deal with them, but remember to check their specific pages for unique details. ## Understanding Your Adversary When you first encounter an Adversary, you'll notice they're pretty immortal. The key to defeating them lies in your Parazon. You'll need to equip a specific sequence of Requiem Mods on it. Think of it like a special key combination only you can figure out for that particular Adversary. ### Getting Your Requiems These crucial Requiem Mods come from Requiem Relics. You'll find these by doing Kuva Siphons and Kuva Floods. Keep an eye out! ### The Murmur System To figure out the correct Requiem Mod sequence, you'll need to collect Murmurs. You get these by defeating the Adversary's minions: Thralls if it's a Grineer Lich, or Hounds if it's a Sister of Parvos. The more Murmurs you collect, the more of the Known Requiems you'll uncover. ### Cracking the Code Once you've got the Known Requiems, equip them in the right order on your Parazon. Then, you'll need to fight your Adversary. Each attempt will help you narrow down the correct sequence. It might take a few tries, so don't get discouraged! ### The Tax System Be warned: in areas controlled by your Adversary, they might just steal your mission rewards! The only way to get those back is to defeat them. So, they're not just a threat, they're actively costing you resources. ### Luring Them Out To actually get a chance to fight your Adversary and progress, you need to Lure them out. Keep defeating Thralls or Hounds in the controlled areas, and eventually, your Adversary will show up. ### Railjack Encounters Sometimes, your Adversary will get smart and Flee to the Proxima Regions. When this happens, you'll need to Pursue them in your Railjack. Get ready for a space battle! ## Checking Your Adversary Wondering who you're up against or how far along you are? You can check your current Adversary by heading to the Star Chart or by opening your ESC menu and clicking on the Adversary icon. You can also find info in your Codex.
