Prepare yourself, Tenno, for the exhilarating hunt of Kuva Liches in 2024. These enigmatic and formidable adversaries pose an unmatched challenge, offering both peril and unparalleled rewards. Embark on a journey of deception, infiltration, and confrontation as you unravel the secrets of these powerful beings. The fate of the Origin System hangs in the balance, and it is up to you to vanquish the Liches and restore order.
To initiate the Kuva Lich hunt, you must first acquire a Kuva Larvling. These parasitic entities can be found in Grineer and Corpus missions, often attached to Kuva Guardians. Stealth and cunning are essential as you approach the Larvling, for any disturbance will cause it to retreat. Once you have successfully captured the Larvling, the transformation into a Kuva Lich begins. A random set of traits and powers will be assigned to your Lich, making each encounter unique. Patience and strategy will be your greatest allies as you embark on this perilous undertaking.
The path to successfully vanquishing a Kuva Lich is fraught with both peril and exhilaration. You must uncover your Lich’s vulnerabilities by completing Parazon Mercy Kills on defeated Thralls. Each successful kill will reveal a new weakness that you can exploit in future confrontations. Deception is also a potent weapon in your arsenal, as you can use Requiem Mods to temporarily confuse and weaken your Lich. However, the power of the Liches should not be underestimated. They possess formidable abilities, including summoning Thralls, deploying AOE attacks, and even manipulating the environment. Only through careful preparation and unwavering determination will you emerge victorious from this epic showdown.
Identifying Kuva Liches
Kuva Liches are formidable enemies in Warframe, but their presence is marked by distinct indicators that can help you identify their presence. Here are some key ways to recognize a Kuva Lich:
1. Intriguing Symbolism
Kuva Liches are characterized by a unique symbol that appears on their body and in-game interface. This symbol is a combination of random shapes and patterns, and it serves as a visual indicator of your Lich’s identity. Pay attention to the symbol when you encounter a Kuva Lich, as it will be the same throughout your interactions with that particular enemy.
| Characteristic | Description |
|---|---|
| Symbol Location | Displayed prominently on the Lich’s body and in-game menus |
| Symbol Uniqueness | Each Lich has a distinct symbol |
| Symbol Visibility | Visible in all encounters with the same Lich |
2. Distinctive Voice
Kuva Liches possess a distinctive voice that sets them apart from other enemies in Warframe. Their voice is characterized by a haunting whispers and an otherworldly, enigmatic tone. When you encounter a Kuva Lich, listen carefully to its voice, as it will often provide clues about the Lich’s motivations and weaknesses.
3. Lethal Abilities
Kuva Liches are incredibly powerful enemies, and they wield a deadly array of abilities. These abilities include powerful ranged attacks, shields that deflect damage, and the ability to summon allies. When you engage a Kuva Lich, be prepared for a challenging fight that will require careful tactics and powerful weapons.
Initiating the Lich’s Influence
To initiate the Lich’s influence, you’ll need to complete any Grineer mission on Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, or Pluto. The mission type doesn’t matter, but it’s recommended to choose a mission that you can complete quickly and easily.
Once you’ve started the mission, keep an eye out for a group of three Grineer enemies with purple auras. These are the Lich’s thralls, and they’ll be marked with an icon on your minimap.
Defeating the Lich’s Thralls
To defeat the Lich’s thralls, you’ll need to use the correct Requiem mods. Each Requiem mod corresponds to a specific Lich element, and you’ll need to use the correct combination of mods to defeat the thrall. The element of the thrall will be indicated by the color of their aura.
Once you’ve defeated the thrall, you’ll have a chance to capture or kill the Lich. If you choose to capture the Lich, you’ll need to use a Restraint mod to keep them in place. Once you’ve captured the Lich, you can take them to theKuva Fortress to convert them into an ally.
If you choose to kill the Lich, you’ll need to use a Parazon mod to finish them off. Once you’ve killed the Lich, you’ll earn a Kuva Lich weapon blueprint. You can use this blueprint to craft a weapon that is unique to your Lich.
| Thrall Element | Requiem Mod |
|---|---|
| Fire | Heat |
| Ice | Cold |
| Electric | Electricity |
| Toxin | Toxin |
| Magnetic | Magnetic |
Discovering Lich Coordinates
Unveiling the hidden coordinates of your Kuva Lich requires strategic gameplay. Begin by venturing into Grineer or Corpus missions. As you navigate the infested terrain, confront Thralls, loyal followers of the Lich. Subduing or eliminating these minions will increase the Ante’s Wrath, the Lich’s displeasure. Higher Wrath levels enhance the chances of a confrontation with your elusive target.
Once the Ante’s Wrath has reached its peak, prepare for a thrilling showdown. Locate and vanquish powerful Liches to claim their coveted coordinates. Defeat in this crucial encounter doesn’t spell defeat entirely. Even if you succumb to your Lich’s might, the coordinates will remain within your grasp. Simply forge ahead and regain your lost ground.
Mastering Thrall Interrogation
For those seeking a more refined approach, interrogating Thralls offers an alternative path to Lich coordinates. Confront these minions and subject them to your interrogation prowess. By extracting information from captured Thralls, you can pinpoint the exact coordinates of your elusive adversary with remarkable precision. Employ your cunning and strategy to uncover the coordinates that lead you to your ultimate confrontation with the Kuva Lich.
| Method | Required Actions |
|---|---|
| Confronting Thralls | Engage Thralls in combat. Subdue or eliminate them to increase Ante’s Wrath. |
| Interrogating Thralls | Capture Thralls and subject them to interrogation techniques to extract coordinate information. |
Confronting the Kuva Lich in Combat
Once you have identified your Lich’s location, it’s time for the showdown. Here’s how to take on the Kuva Lich in combat:
1. Prepare Your Arsenal
Equip your best weapons and Warframes. Consider bringing crowd control abilities to manage the Lich’s thralls. A sniper rifle is also recommended for precise attacks on the Lich’s weak spot.
2. Initiate the Encounter
Travel to the marked location and activate the mission. The Lich will appear along with its thralls. You need to eliminate all the thralls before you can directly confront the Lich.
3. Weaken the Lich
The Lich has three health bars. You need to reduce them to zero to weaken the Lich. Focus on hitting the Lich’s weak spot, which is revealed after damaging it enough. The weak spot will glow and emit a distinct sound.
4. Exploit the Lich’s Murmur
The Kuva Lich has a unique ability called Murmur. Each Lich has a specific set of Murmurs that provide clues about their weaknesses. By completing missions and interrogating the Lich’s thralls, you can gather Murmur information. This information will reveal the Lich’s vulnerabilities to certain weapons or abilities. Exploit these weaknesses in combat to deal increased damage to the Lich.
| Murmur | Weakness |
|---|---|
| “I have seen your sword in my dreams.” | Vulnerable to Slash damage |
| “I fear the cold touch of ice.” | Vulnerable to Cold damage |
| “Fire cleanses the soul.” | Vulnerable to Heat damage |
Defeating the Kuva Lich
Killing a Kuva Lich requires completing tasks in the Lich’s territory, which is displayed on the Star Chart. These tasks include:
- Finding Thralls: Thralls are loyal followers of the Lich who drop murmurs when killed. Kill Thralls in the field to expose their leaders.
- Killing Lieutenants: Lieutenants are powerful units guarding the Kuva Lich’s territory. Killing Lieutenants provides bonus murmurs.
- Collecting Murmurs: Murmurs are fragments of information that reveal the Kuva Lich’s history and weaknesses. Collect murmurs by scanning Thralls, killing Lieutenants, or using the Transference Machine.
- Unveiling the Kuva Lich: Unveil the Kuva Lich by reaching 100% murmur progress. This reveals the Lich’s weaknesses and the sequence of Requiem Mods that can defeat it.
- Confronting the Kuva Lich: Face the Kuva Lich in a Railjack mission or in their territory while armed with the correct Requiem Mod sequence. The Lich will have increased resistance to Requiem Mods it has previously encountered.
Using Requiem Mods
Requiem Mods are key to defeating a Kuva Lich. These mods contain ancient Kuva transmissions that can weaken or confuse the Lich. Players can insert up to 3 Requiem Mods into a Parazon. Each Requiem Mod has a unique symbol and sound effect that indicate its strength and significance to the Kuva Lich.
Finding the Correct Requiem Mod Sequence
The correct Requiem Mod sequence is a combination of 3 Mods that the Kuva Lich has never encountered before. To find the correct sequence, players must use the following steps:
- Equip a Parazon.
- Interact with a Kuva Lich.
- Use the Parazon on the Lich.
- The Lich will react to each Requiem Mod. A “ding” sound indicates a correct Mod, while a “buzz” indicates an incorrect Mod.
- Determine the correct Mod sequence based on the Lich’s reactions.
| Reaction | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Ding | Correct Mod |
| Buzz | Incorrect Mod |
Converting or Vanquishing the Kuva Lich
The Kuva Lich is a formidable foe in Warframe, possessing unique abilities and weapons that can challenge even the most experienced players. To take on the Kuva Lich, players must first choose between converting or vanquishing it.
Converting the Kuva Lich
Converting the Kuva Lich grants players access to its unique weapons and abilities, which can be used in gameplay. To convert the Lich, players must complete a series of Mercy Missions, each of which requires a specific input, such as using a specific weapon or ability.
Vanquishing the Kuva Lich
Vanquishing the Kuva Lich permanently eliminates it from the game, granting players special rewards. To vanquish the Lich, players must weaken its health through combat and then use a Parazon to deliver the killing blow.
Vanquishing the Kuva Lich (Detailed)
Vanquishing the Kuva Lich requires a strategic approach and meticulous execution. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the process:
1. Weakening the Lich’s Health
Engage the Lich in combat and reduce its health to its lowest point. Avoid using crowd control abilities as they may interfere with the Parazon kill.
2. Predicting the Lich’s Requiem Sequence
The Kuva Lich has a unique Requiem sequence of three mods that must be used in a specific order to disable its defenses. Determine the correct sequence by completing Mercy Missions or using the Codex.
3. Equipping the Parazon
Equip the Parazon, a special melee weapon capable of executing the Lich. Make sure to have the correct Requiem mods installed in the Parazon.
4. Approaching the Lich
Approach the wounded Lich from behind. Avoid triggering any death animations, as they may prevent the Parazon execution.
5. Inputting the Requiem Sequence
Rapidly cycle through the three Requiem mods in the Parazon, matching the correct sequence. The Lich will collapse if the sequence is correct.
6. Delivering the Killing Blow
Once the Lich is collapsed, use the melee attack button to deliver the final blow with the Parazon. The Lich will be permanently vanquished and its rewards will be granted.
| Mercy Mission Input | Possible Outputs |
|---|---|
| Use a specific weapon | Reveal one Requiem mod |
| Use a specific ability | Reveal two Requiem mods |
| Combine two Mercy Mission inputs | Reveal the full Requiem sequence |
Understanding the Mercy and Vanquish System
Kuva Liches, menacing warriors from the Origin System, present a complex gameplay mechanic involving two crucial actions: Mercy and Vanquish. Understanding these concepts is essential for navigating Kuva Lich encounters effectively.
Mercy
When you encounter a Kuva Lich, you can choose to “Mercy” it if its health is low enough. This temporarily captures the Lich, allowing you to interrogate it for information about its Requiem Mods. Each Lich requires a specific combination of Mods to permanently vanquish it.
Vanquish
Once you have acquired the correct Requiem Mod combination, you can “Vanquish” the Kuva Lich. This initiates a challenging encounter where you must defeat the Lich in relentless combat. Defeating a Lich not only eliminates it but also rewards you with its unique weapon, Kuva Lich Ephemera, and a chance at a Kuva Codex.
7. Requiem Mod Combinations
The following table lists the possible Requiem Mod combinations for Kuva Liches:
| Lich Name | Requiem Mod Combinations |
|---|---|
| Kuva Bramma | R, E, V |
| Kuva Nukor | N, M, U |
| Kuva Kraken | X, K, C, V |
| Kuva Kohm | L, M, X |
Kuva Lich Stats and Abilities
Kuva Liches are formidable enemies that pose a significant challenge to Tenno. They possess an impressive arsenal of abilities and a unique stat system that makes each one a unique opponent.
Stats
Kuva Liches have four key stats that determine their overall strength:
- Level: This determines the overall level and difficulty of the Lich.
- Health: This is the Lich’s total health pool.
- Shields: This is the amount of damage that the Lich’s shields can absorb before their health starts to deplete.
- Armor: This reduces the amount of damage taken from certain weapon types.
In addition to these stats, Kuva Liches also have various immunities and resistances that make them immune to certain types of damage or status effects.
Abilities
Kuva Liches possess a range of abilities that they can use in combat, including:
- Kuva Beam: A beam attack that deals heavy damage and knocks down any Tenno who get caught in it.
- Kuva Cloud: Summons a cloud of Kuva that can damage Tenno and reduce their accuracy.
- Kuva Ward: Grants the Lich a temporary shield that absorbs damage and nullifies status effects.

- Kuva Teleport: Allows the Lich to teleport a short distance, making it difficult to track.
- Kuva Energy Spike: Punts back a target that has knocked the Lich down, dealing heavy damage and knocking them down again.
Kuva Energy Spike
This ability is a powerful counterattack that occurs when the Lich is knocked down. It deals heavy damage and knocks down any Tenno who get caught in the blast radius. The damage of this ability is based on the Lich’s level and the amount of damage it took to knock it down. The ability has a relatively short range, so it is important for Tenno to maintain a safe distance when engaging a Lich.
| Level | Damage |
|---|---|
| 1 | 500 |
| 2 | 1000 |
| 3 | 1500 |
| 4 | 2000 |
| 5 | 2500 |
Acquiring Kuva Lich Weapons
Acquisition Process:
To acquire Kuva Lich weapons, players must embark on a perilous journey involving several steps:
- Generate a Kuva Lich: Defeat the Kuva Larvling in a Grineer Fortress mission and let it consume a Kuva Siphon node.
- Learn the Kuva Lich’s Requiem Sequence: Interrogate Kuva Thralls by mercy-killing them; the correct combination of Requiem Mods will pacify the Lich.
- Confront the Kuva Lich: Engage the Lich in special missions called Kuva Lich Confrontations.
- Attempt to Conquer or Convert: Use the correct Requiem Mods to either conquer (kill) or convert (recruit) the Lich.
- Weapon Acquisition: If the Lich is conquered, players will receive its Kuva Weapon blueprint. If converted, the Lich will become a companion and grant you various bonuses.
9. The Art of Learning Requiem Sequences
Unveiling the Kuva Lich’s Requiem Sequence is a crucial step in the acquisition process. Requiem Mods contain specific symbols that correspond to the Lich’s vulnerabilities. Players can learn these symbols by:
- Stabilizing Kuva Siphons: Successfully defending Kuva Siphons in Grineer Fortress missions reveals a symbol in the mission’s end-screen.
- Interrogating Kuva Thralls: Mercy-killing Thralls reveals a single symbol, which will vary depending on the Requiem Mod used.
- Purchasing from Maroo’s Bazaar: The Void Trader, Maroo, occasionally offers Requiem Mods blueprints for purchase.
Once all three Requiem symbols have been identified, players can assemble the correct Requiem Mod sequence and confront their Kuva Lich.
| Symbol | Requiem Mod |

Kuva Lich Requiem Mods
Kuva Liches are powerful enemies that can be encountered in Warframe. To vanquish them, Tenno must obtain three Requiem Mods, each containing a specific sequence of symbols. These Requiem Mods are unlocked through various in-game activities.
Requiem Mod Farming
Requiem Mods can be obtained through the following methods:
- Kuva Flood Missions: Complete endless missions with Kuva Liches present to earn Valence Fusion Cores, which can be exchanged for Requiem Mods.

Stabilizing Requiem Mods
As you guess correctly, Requiem Mods will become stabilized, indicating they are in the correct order. If you guess incorrectly, the Mod will become “Murmured,” and you will need to attempt the sequence again.
Completing the Sequence
Once you have stabilized all three Requiem Mods, the Kuva Lich will be revealed and can be converted into a Kuva Companion or vanquished for rewards.
