How to Get Uriel in Warframe (Maphica Resource Farm Guide)

The Old Peace update for Warframe is finally here, and with that comes new content, new lore, and of course, a new Warframe. This time around, we’re going biblical, as the latest Warframe, Uriel, is devil-themed. Thankfully, you don’t have to go through figurative hell to get Uriel, just literal and you can also follow our guide. Note that this assumes you’re not paying for Uriel using Platinum and instead will resort to farming the new resource Maphica to get him.

Requirements Before You Can Farm for Uriel

Sadly, there’s no other way to get Uriel for free (without spending Platinum) other than completing the new quest introduced in Warframe Update 41, “The Old Peace.” Now, completing The Old Peace is not as straightforward as well, since it has its own requirements before you can unlock it:

• The Old Peace quest
  • Requires “The Lotus Eaters” quest, which also
    • Requires “Whispers in the Wall“

Once you’ve finished The Old Peace quest, which is rather lengthy, clocking in at least an hour, you’ll be rewarded with the main Uriel Blueprint. You’ll then need the blueprints for the Neuroptics, Chassis, and Systems, along with other crafting components, to craft Uriel. There’s also a waiting time to finish Uriel in the Foundry.

To get the three other blueprints for Uriel (and to get the smaller crafting components along the way), you’ll either need to finish all 21 floors of the new game mode, Descendia for a random chance at the blueprints or collect the aforementioned Maphica. Maphica is the resource you’ll need to purchase Uriel blueprints from Roathe in the XX99 Cathedral section in Sanctum Anatomica as some kind of pity system. Getting Maphica is where the grind comes in.

How to Get Maphica in Warframe

You can also get Maphica from the new game mode introduced in Update 41, called Descendia, available through the Dark Refractory segment in the in-game Navigation panel. Make sure to break containers and slay all enemies to get Maphica as a drop. Technically, you can access and play Descendia without finishing The Old Peace quest, but you won’t get to spend the Maphica reward you receive there on getting Uriel. Also, the main Uriel blueprint is strictly only available after completion of The Old Peace.

Uriel Neuroptics, Chassis, and Systems Blueprints require 25 Maphica each, so in total, you’ll need to accumulate 75 Maphica from the Descendia game mode to complete the set, assuming you don’t get lucky in Descendia rewards. On top of those, you’ll also need the following crafting components for each blueprint:

Once you have all those components, you can just go ahead and craft them in the Foundry. Note that the Chassis, Neuroptics, and Systems Blueprints need 12 hours to finish crafting, and Uriel will also need several more hours to finish crafting on top of that.
