How to get Lavos Prime Relics in Warframe

The latest Prime Warframe to join the fray is Lavos Prime. The parts of the frame, as usual, are farmable through different Void Relics. As with the different tiers of Void Relics, each one has its best farming spot.

Lavos is an alchemist with each of his abilities applying one of the base elements. You can, of course, combine these elements for devastating combos. For example, you can mix his first ability Orphidian Bite, and second Vial Rush to inflict Viral onto enemies. While it takes some time to get used to the various combos, Lavos is an incredibly fun Warframe to play, and the Prime only makes it better.

Here’s how you can get Lavos Prime and all his Relics in Warframe, including the best places to farm them.

All Lavos Prime Relics in Warframe

Lavos Prime has one Rare, two Uncommon, and one Common part scattered across four Void Relics. The Rare piece is fortunately a Lith drop, which is one of the easiest Relic types to farm for.

Here are all the Relics for Lavos Prime parts.

Best places to farm Lavos Prime Relics in Warframe

You can get Void Relics (and resultingly, a chance to get Lavos Prime Relics) from all kinds of missions in Warframe. But, of course, there are optimized farming spots for each tier of Relics where I’d suggest going to stock up on these as soon as possible. 

Here are the best farming locations for Lavos Prime Relics.

While the above methods require active farming, you can use other ways to get some Relics. If you have Steel Essences lying around, you can use them at Teshin in any relay to get your hands on Relic Packs. Each pack goes for 15 Steel Essences with a 25 purchase limit weekly.

Similarly, you can get Relic Packs from your Syndicates, where each Pack costs 20,000 Standing.

Lavos Prime abilities in Warframe

Lavos Prime has the same abilities as its base counterpart. He has a unique playstyle, and with the right build, he can be devastating even in end-game scenarios like Steel Path endurance runs.

The first anomaly you’ll notice about Lavos (and Lavos Prime) is how Ability Efficiency and Duration work differently on him compared to other Warframes. Ability Efficiency mods like Streamline and Fleeting Expertise lower Lavos’ cooldown on abilities, while Ability Duration (granted by mods such as Continuity, Constitution, etc.) modifies the Status Duration of any Status dealt by Lavos’ abilities or weapons.

Passive

Lavos’ passive grants him Status Immunity for 10 seconds every time he picks up any Energy or Universal Orb. You also get additional Elemental Damage and Status on the next cast after holding any ability button.

First Ability: Ophidian Bite

Tap to lash out with a Toxin attack, consuming the targeted enemy to heal yourself. Hold to imbue the next ability with Toxin.

Second Ability: Vial Rush

Tap to dash forward and crash through enemies, leaving a Cold Damage trail. Hold to imbue the next ability with Cold.

Third Ability: Transmutation Probe

Tap to launch a probe that converts Health and Energy Orbs into Universal Orbs, and all kinds of different ammo into Universal Ammo Pickups. The probe shocks enemies in the vicinity, and each electrocuted enemy reduces your cooldowns. Hold to imbue the next ability with Electric.

Fourth Ability: Catalyze

Tap to douse surrounding enemies with fire. Damage is doubled for each Element afflicting an enemy. Hold to imbue the next ability with Heat.
