Discover the hidden lore fragments scattered across the Origin System in Warframe. Learn about Cephalon, Fish, Glass, Ghoul, Revenant, and more.
Fragments are pieces of hidden items throughout the Origin System that can be found to unlock written and audiovisual lore that flesh out the setting of WARFRAME.
Most Fragments can be scanned with either a Codex or Synthesis Scanner, which will unlock artwork that can be found under the _Universe_ tab of the Codex. The images unlocked with each Fragment can be used as decoration aboard the Orbiter, and will also have accompanying lore relating to the image.
Additionally, there is also a hidden point on each image that when hovered-over with the cursor will unlock a short audio transmission, which will narrate additional lore. An audio clue will help identify this point in the form of white noise, which becomes louder as the cursor is moved closer to the point.
Other types of Fragments only require players to interact with them (default X) to acquire them.
These Fragments are ordered by their release date.
Cephalon Fragments are fragments of data found all around the Origin system, usually hidden in rooms during missions, visualized as hovering blue data blocks. With the exception of the Kuva Fortress, each navigable planet, moon, or location (including the Void and Deimos) in the Origin System will have from two to three unlockable fragments, each requiring between 3 and 7 scans to complete.
During missions, the Cephalon Fragment will appear on the mini-map as a blue quadruple diamond if the players are using loot radar mods. Scanning a fragment will unlock a portion of the associated artwork. Cephalon Fragments may be found up to once per mission and will spawn in a random place of the map on most missions, with the exception of Defense, Interception, and Archwing missions which will never contain a fragment. They reveal info about various aspects of the Origin System, such as Factions, Characters, and Planets.
