How to get Dagath in Warframe

To get Dagath, players will be able to either purchase her from the Market for Platinum, or farm her blueprints from the Shrine of Dagath. The Shrine of Dagath is found in a new Dojo Room called Dagath’s Hollow. Players who are not part of a clan will need to join one if they need access to a Dojo.

The full process to get Dagath is as follows, but it begins with a request from the Lotus and a resource called Vainthorn.

  • Log in, and you will be informed that the Syndicates need your help and to visit a Syndicate Enclave. You can find them on the outer ring of any Relay. Visit them and exchange Syndicate Standing for an Abyssal Beacon.
  • Trade 5000 Standing for a Beacon, then open your Navigation screen.
  • Go to Ceres, and you will see a new mission there called Abyssal Zone. A number beside it will indicate how many Abyssal Beacons you have. Click on the mission to start it, which will cost you one Abyssal Beacon.
  • Complete the mission, and make sure you find an Orokin Defixios during it. These small items will be marked on the map and must be carried in your hand as you extract from the mission. Each player in the mission will need to find one of them.
  • Completing the mission will earn you some Vainthorn.

This is how you get Vainthorn, a vital part of the resource you need to build Dagath. Now, to get the Dagath blueprints, you need to build the Dagath’s Hollow room in your Dojo. To do this, follow the below steps:

  • Visit your Dojo
  • Find a connector that is free so that you can add a room to it.
  • Interact with the door at the free connector and type “Hollow” into the search box.
  • Select Dagath’s Hollow from the list. You will need a Tenno Lab, 2 Capacity, and 5 Energy to build it.
  • Add the following resources for the required research: 1000 Credits, 500 Alloy Plate, 200 Circuits, 100 Crytoic, 1 Forma.
  • Wait 24 hours for the build or pay a small amount of Platinum to rush it.
  • When complete, go to the central dais in the Hollo and pay the 15,000 Credits cost of each Blueprint you need. Note, that they have no research cost. You can buy and build them straight away if you have the resources.

Dagath’s Abilities

  • Passive: Abundant Abyss – Dagath feeds from the soul of the deceased. She has a low chance of making Energy or Health orbs she picks up 3x as effective.
  • Wyrd Scythes – Dagath creates spectral sickles that rotate and expand around her, doing Viral Damage on enemies that get hit and slowing them. If a spectral sickle hits an enemy affected by Phantom Wrath, it refreshes the curse duration and applies the curse to nearby enemies.
  • Doom – Conjures spectral energy from her faceless head that rapidly expands in a cone, inflicting low damage and cursing the enemies with Phantom Wrath. Phantom Wrath curse can stack with multiple casts of Doom and will do multiple damage instances while active. This will be indicated by the sickle icon above your enemy’s head.
  • Grave Spirit – Dagath gains increased Critical Damage on all her weapons and gains protection from the spectral realm. When she receives a fatal blow, she will immediately go into her spectral form and will evade all incoming attacks for a short duration. On exiting her Spectral Form, Grave Spirit will enter a cooldown before it can be cast again.
  • Rakhali’s Cavalry – Summon five spectral horses that travel forward at a high pace and ram the enemies, inflicting massive Viral damage. If Phantom Wrath is active, horses strip the target’s defenses on each damage instance.
