Warframe: The Duviri Paradox Walkthrough – Quests, The Undercroft & Secrets

Everything players need to know to make the most of their time in and gameplay in Warframe's The Duviri Paradox.

The Duviri Paradox is one of the most mind-bending expansions Waframe has ever received. It puts players into the shoes of a human trapped in a simulation known as Duviri. This world is an endless cycle of punishment, with the human being killed and reborn repeatedly. That is until a paradox that could be linked to the Tenno appears. Unlike many MMO expansions, Duviri aims at newcomers and hardcore Wafframe fans alike. It can be approached as the first thing you do in the game or left until you’ve explored the rest of the Warframe universe, playing the content through in order.

The Duviri Paradox adds a new open world and game mode to Warframe for players to explore. It’s a roguelite adventure with a Warframe twist, requiring you to work through objectives to earn upgrades, known as Decrees, before jumping into The Undercroft to use a Warframe to fight off waves of enemies like a true space ninja.

If you’re a new player, you can start The Duviri Paradox as soon as you load the latest version of Warframe. You’ll be presented with two ways to start the game, The Warframe Path or The Paradox Path. Choose The Paradox Path to start The Duviri Paradox because you can return to the Warframe content later. If you’re an experience Warframe player with an hour or so at least under your belt, you’ll find a new Quest in your CodexStart this Quest and then go to the navigation screen. You can select The Duviri Paradox from the banner in the top right-hand corner.

What is The Undercroft?

The Undercroft is a dungeon that exists within Duviri. When you enter it, you’ll have to complete a set of objectives that usually involve killing enemies. For example, you may need to establish and protect mining devices, kill a specific number of enemies, or gather a particular resource. This is also the only place you’ll get to use a Warframe in Duviri, and it’s where most of the Decrees you gather on the surface will come into play. You’ll need to create builds that benefit both the human character you play as and your Warframe when beating up Dax in The Undercroft.
