Walkthrough
To start this quest buy the hidden messages blueprint from the market (costs 1500 credits) and craft the blueprint in the Foundry.
Here is what you need to craft the hidden messages blueprint:
• 5 Orokin Ciphers
• 4 Oxiums
• 1 Argon Crystal
• 5000 credits
| Resource | How to obtain |
| Orokin Ciphers | Opening Orokin Derelict Vaults |
| Oxiums | Doing Corpus mission and taking down Oxium Osprey |
| Argon Crystals | Doing boss battles and Void missions |
| Credits | Completing missions and selling items |
The process takes 6 hours to complete and then you’ll be able to unlock and select the quest from your codex.
Note: As from Update 22 the quest blueprint and its requirements have been entirely removed.
You can now simply start the quest from the codex without the need to craft.
First Riddle: Olympus, Mars
As the quest starts, Ordis will talk about a riddle he found in the crafted item you just made.
“Operator,
what is starts could this possibly mean ?
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?
I found this inscribed on that origin Orokin artifcat you just crafted.
You should check you inbox for more information.”
The message contains the clue where the mission is and it will be Olympus Mars.
This is a standard exterminate mission level 25-35 and once it completes you’ll get the first blueprint: Mirage Helmet Blueprint.
Go the foundry to craft the helmet, it takes 12 hours to complete without a rush.
Second Riddle: Calypso, Saturn
As you complete the helmet, Ordis will talk again saying he found another hidden transcription
on the helmet. check the inbox if you need to view the riddle transcript.
“Operator,
To think, Ordis thought that mess of words was nothing but the scrawling of some long dead hack. You saw more. Now you have the Neuroptics for a whole new class of Warframe. Very impressive Operator.
Exciting news. Ordis found more writing on the inside of Mirage’s 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.
I have no idea what that means, though if I had to describe its literary merit I might use another word that rhymes with ‘witty’.
Ordis, Ship’s Cephalon ”
The second mission and the answer to this riddle are Calypso, Saturn.
You need to do a survival infestation mission level 28-35 and on completion, you’ll get the Mirage System blueprint.
To craft the system it will take 12 hours.
Third Riddle: Charybdis, Sedna
The last hidden transcription on the systems will be given now,
Ordis talks about an ancient sea creature and here is the transcript available also from your inbox:
“Operator,
It is as if the person writing these messages wanted Mirage to be found. Within the newly crafted Mirage Systems, Ordis found this:
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.
That’s the worst one yet! Though, Ordis must admit, they are clearly referencing something. Operator, you appear to be good at this sort of thing, can you find the final blueprint?
Ordis, Ship’s Cephalon”
The third mission and the answer to this riddle are Charybdis, Sedna.
You need to do a hive sabotage infestation mission level 30 to find the hives and destroy them.
Wait for the right moment to attack because the hives will be vulnerable only for a certain period of time.
Once completed you’ll get the Mirage Chassis blueprint that takes 12 hours to build.
Mirage warframe
Ordis reads out the last transcription on Mirage’s chassis as you craft the final piece:
“Operator,
You’re done! Mirage’s Chassis is complete. You have all three parts, the only thing you have left is to acquire the Warframe blueprint.
Predictably I found something else inscribed on the Chassis:
Three acts complete, the end draws near,
soon Mirage will cause fear.
Memory lost, to be reborn,
a new warrior rises, duty sworn.
When will the operator be adding this Warframe to the Arsenal?
Ordis, Ship’s Cephalon”
- Collecting all three components of the Mirage: helmet, system, and Chassis you can now build the full mirage warframe.
It will take the standard 3 days (72 hours) for the craft without using a rush and completing the quest. - In case you want to buy the components of the blueprint, you can get it from Cephalon Simaris for 50,000 standing.
- A known bug: If using Platinum to rush the blueprints manufacturing, the game may not recognize the components as completed, and will not proceed to the next mission.
It can be solved through relogging: switch to another quest and then switch back to this one to fix this.
