SPOILERS: This Operation is intended for players who have already completed the “Jade Shadows” Quest, which contains significant spoilers for Warframe! To ensure that all Tenno enjoy the best possible experience, we ask that you allow others to complete the Quest at their own pace, and to please be kind. If you’d like to discuss the Quest after playing (and we certainly expect that you will), so everyone can experience it as intended. Thanks, Tenno.
The explosive secrets revealed during Jade Shadows continue to reverberate, with Parvos Granum now attempting to harvest Volatile Motes to perfect his own Jade Eximus army. With the help of Ordis, you'll need to commandeer special Mote Collectors and put an end to Parvos’ plans. Venture to Stalker’s Lair at Brutus on Uranus to preserve Jade’s legacy and battle the Corpus to earn new Rewards (as well as returning ones from previous Operations)!
Ordis will send the necessary details to your Inbox once you complete the Jade Shadows Quest. Operation: Belly of the Beast commences on June 18 at 11:30 a.m. ET and will conclude on July 18 at 11:30 a.m. ET.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Operation: Belly of the Beast requires you to step into Stalker’s Lair — only those who have completed the Jade Shadows Quest are permitted to do so.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
While Operation: Belly of the Beast is live, players will have access to special nodes that allow them to take on Parvos' forces. During these Missions, all Eximus units that spawn will be Jade Light Eximus units. You can help Ordis in his mission to stop Parvos in one of three ways:
1. Operation Variant of Brutus (Uranus) 2. Operation Alerts 3. Stalker Joins the Fray
[h4]Operation Variant of Brutus (Uranus)[/h4]
In traditional Operation style, the new Brutus node on Uranus has its own Operation variant. Play Ascension as you know it, but with all Eximus units spawning in as Jade Light Eximus.
Summoning a Sister of Parvos will also reward players with additional Volatile Motes.
[h4]Operation Alerts[/h4]
In addition to the Brutus node on Uranus, timed Operation Alerts will appear across the Origin System that also award players with Volatile Motes. These non-Ascension Missions will have their normal Mission gameplay, but will also spawn Jade Light Eximus in place of regular Eximus units. Look for these time-limited Alerts to appear every hour or so as an alternative method to earn Volatile Motes.
[h4]Stalker Joins the Fray[/h4]
Visiting Ordis in the Larunda Relay not only allows you to earn Operation Rewards, but also lets you call on an old foe to assist in your efforts. In speaking to Ordis, selecting the “A Shared Purpose?” option will allow you to join another Squad’s mission as the Stalker! Doing so will reward you with the usual Mission Rewards — at the risk of losing them all should you be downed during combat.
Rewards
No Operation is complete without its Rewards, and Ordis has collected quite a few offerings to choose from. Ordis can be found in the Larunda Relay in the Navigation Room, where he will trade Volatile Motes for said Rewards.
[h4]Community Progress[/h4]
Belly of the Beast comes with a Community Progress segment to track the total Volatile Motes collected by all Tenno. As the total number of Motes ticks up, progress is made towards a new variant of the Jade Light Ephemera, unlocking it for purchase from Ordis in the Larunda Relay.
[h4]Commit Volatile Motes[/h4]
Ordis is carrying a vast array of items in exchange for Volatile Motes:
Low Guardian Chest Plate
Belly of the Beast Sigil
Aspirus Ephemera (Once overall Operation progress has reached 33%)
Aspirus Emergent Ephemera (Once overall Operation progress has reached 66%)
Aspirus Apex Ephemera (Once overall Operation progress has reached 90%)
Krios Signa
Prominence Wisp Totem
Fluctus Rahk Skin
Ceti Lacera Blueprint
Basmu Blueprint
Stance Forma Blueprint
The Ballroom Simulacrum
Arcane Tempo
Arcane Consequence
Arcane Momentum
Arcane Ice
Arcane Nullifier
Arcane Warmth
Arcane Resistance

Arcane Phantasm
Arcane Eruption
Arcane Agility
Arcane Acceleration
Arcane Trickery
Arcane Velocity
Arcane Precision
Arcane Pulse
Arcane Ultimatum
Arcane Aegis
Arcane Arachne

[h4]Clan Contributions[/h4]
Ordis will also carry additional wares for Tenno who are in a Clan:
Enlightened Hate Skin
Gilded Clan Sigil
Glyphed Clan Sigil
Phased Clan Sigil
Belly of the Beast Emblem
Arcane Energize
Arcane Grace
Arcane Barrier
All Arcanes purchased from the “Commit Volatile Motes” and “Clan Contributions” stores will be limited to 42 (two fully upgraded Arcanes) per Arcane type, per player.
The Jade Shadows Cinematic Quest pulls you deep into the sinister world of the Stalker, so it’s only fitting that its corresponding TennoGen release offers some malevolent flair of its own! How you choose to corrupt your Fashion Frame with these impressive Customizations is up to you. Whether you fancy a ghoulish new set of Operator facial accessories, or a terrifying, plague doctor-inspired Skin for Lavos, there’s something delightfully depraved to suit every Tenno’s twisted tastes.
Bring euphoric yet lethal melodies to your Arsenal with Jade, the angelic Warframe of death and rebirth, and intensify each chorus through her signature Customizations!
Seraphic judgment is all part of Jade’s methodology in combat — and dazzling those beneath her light requires some elegant flair! Let loose Jade’s full potential with the Jade Aureolt Helmet, Terror Landing Craft Skin, and so much more.
Illuminate secrets that the mysterious Stalker has hidden from prying eyes in Jade Shadows, available now on all platforms! Confront foes left spellbound by Jade’s glory during Operation: Belly of the Beast Clan, and fight off hordes of opportunistic Corpus at the Stalker’s stronghold with the all-new Ascension game mode.
Jade Shadows contains significant spoilers for Warframe! To ensure that all Tenno enjoy the best possible experience, we ask that you allow others to complete the Quest at their own pace, and to please be kind. If you’d like to discuss the Quest after playing (and we certainly expect that you will), please use spoiler tags so everyone can experience it as intended. Thanks, Tenno.
NEW STALKER-FOCUSED QUEST
Assume control of the mysterious Stalker during an illuminating new Quest that delves directly into his fascinating backstory. A former Low Guardian during the fall of the Orokin empire, this fearsome assassin now conceals a remarkable secret – one with significant implications for the rest of the Origin System.
JADE
Evoking the solemn — yet melodic — hymns of a choir, the newest Warframe sings songs of devastation as she heralds both life and death across the Origin System’s many battlefields. Bless allies and damn enemies with a powerful suite of Abilities that includes the punishing fury of the Jade Light itself.
ABILITIES
Passive: The Anointed Jade’s profound understanding of the relationship between life and death grants her two Aura Mod Slots.
Light’s Judgement: Create a well of light that heals allies and hurts enemies. Those who enter the well will be surrounded by Judgements that amplify Jade’s other Abilities.
Symphony of Mercy: Cycle through three songs that strengthen allies. Power of The Seven increases Ability Strength by +30%. Deathbringer increases Weapon Damage by +100%. Spirit of Resilience increases Shield Regeneration by +25%. Extend the duration of each song by killing enemies surrounded by Judgements.
Ophanim Eyes: Jade summons an accusatory gaze that slows nearby enemies and dissolves shields and armor. When the gaze falls upon allies, they can be revived from a distance.
Glory on High: Soar with destructive power. Use alternate-fire to detonate Judgments, causing an explosion of Jade Light. Enemies affected by Light's Judgment strengthen the explosion.
JADE COLLECTION
Become enraptured by the swelling sounds of Jade’s euphonic masterpiece. This collection includes the Jade Warframe and a full chorus of accouterments including (but not limited to):
[h4]Jade’s Ensemble[/h4] - Harmony: Harmony triumphs over hate. Its Heavy Attacks instantly kill enemies that are open to Mercy kills. Defeat hordes in this manner to empower allies with extended Melee Range.
- Cantare: In moments of despair, let the battle resonate with song. Canatare’s blades lodge into the battlefield and return upon reload. When returning blades strike many enemies, Cantare empowers allies with increased Magazine Capacity.
- Evensong: Counter the dread of battle with a song of praise. Fully drawn arrows fired by Evensong impale enemies and empower ally weapons with Multishot.
[h4]Jade Warframe[/h4] Become enraptured by the song of devastation. Through her, the Jade Light can be a force of destruction or a source of support.
[h4]Motetique Signa[/h4] Much as music enriches the atmosphere, the Motetique Signa enhances your appearance.
YARELI PANDEA
A new Relic of the Old War emerges from watery depths, imbued with the boldness and ferocity of Hunhow himself. Add a resplendent, seaborne vigor to your own Loadout with Pandea Skins for Yareli, Merulina, and her Kompressa Secondary Weapon, as well as Customizations that include the Rubra Sugatra and the Merulina Pandea Domestik Drone.
NEW GAME MODE: ASCENSION
The Stalker’s stronghold is under intensive assault from marauding Corpus forces, but what they’re after must remain safe. You’ll need to initiate an emergency evacuation before embarking on a grueling ascent through enemy-infested elevator shafts to the Extraction waiting for you above.
Play Ascension to acquire the parts needed to craft Jade and her angelic weapons. Doing so will also award Motes that can be exchanged directly for the parts and Blueprints.

We’ll have more details for you soon, so stay tuned.
