Notes
- Grendel Prime, compared to

Masseter/![MasseterPrime](data:image/svg+xml,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="32" height="32"><rect fill-opacity="0"/></svg>)
Masseter Prime, he will become immune to crowd-control effects while performing Heavy Attacks. - As with any other Prime Warframe, moving close to the location of an Orokin Void Death Orb will restore a pulse of 250 Energy to nearby allies, even if that Death Orb is inactive, destroyed, or non-present. This effect can only occur once per orb.
Trivia
- Grendel Prime is the twelfth Primed Warframe to have Signature Weapons, after
Wisp Prime, 
Hildryn Prime, 
Baruuk Prime, 
Revenant Prime, 
Khora Prime, 
Garuda Prime, 
Harrow Prime, 
Gara Prime, 
Octavia Prime, 
Atlas Prime, and 
Banshee Prime. - In his Prime Access trailer there are red suited Corpus wielding Flux Rifles, though no such enemy exists in game.

Annoying and obnoxious fucking missions to get these parts.
Literally removes the fun parts of the game for the sake of what? A miniscule bit of challenge?
Dogshit.
See my comment below.
Stop being a shitter.
Or everybody could stop being such fucking SHITTER low mr players? "waaah muh mods!!!!" use a frame that don't need any. nekros for survival and excavation and your mission is instantly trivialized (and if you need a frame to cheese exterminate, you should quit wf right now).
All this does is show the world how ***YOU*** suck.
And by exterminate i mean defense, just bring frost and bam you've won the mission.
Still too hard for your little zoomer tiktok-addicted brains? recruit 3 people.
Now get to work, clowns, and stop crying. these missions are piss easy and you get a god level frame.
Just rawdogged his missions alone, i used Mirage for survival, Wisp for defence, Garuda for excavation(which was an absolute failure couldn't even defend 1 excavator) and used mostly Nataruk and Xoris with Atomos. thats about it, not as bad as people say it to be.
Just buy Grendel with plat. Missions suck fat chode
Bad take, and frankly, a skill issue
My favorite frame! Loved him before his rework, and even more after! He's been my main for years! I made a silly little shrine for him in my ship.
I like Grendel too, but some weapons look a bit too small in his hands, as a Grendel main that kind of bothers me :(
Try phenmor bro
When did they add a cap to the number of enemies he can hold?
Yes they have; 5 is max now
Te quiero mucho Grendel, no le hagas caso a los comentarios feos, tu UwU es perfecto como tú <3
Pregnant Grendel (mpreg) skin when?
Pregnant Grendel spitting out babies from his belly is a morbidly hilarious thing to imagine.
Just use revenant's first ability, its absolutely insane
Just play Protea trust me. It's literally easy mode, you don't need any augments. Just use her 2nd ability, it absolutely shreds them.
Absolutely this. I had so much trouble with the survival mission until I played Protea. As long as you have 75 energy, which you get at the start, you're basically all set just by spamming grenade fans over and over again.
Well thats 1 hour that i will never have back.. lavos and hildryn got the job done
Save some platinum and just buy him from the Market. The No Mods Mode missions to get his parts aren't worth the trouble.
They're slow paced, but they're nowhere nearly as bad as they used to be, now that Lavos has Valence Formation, which as a warframe augment, will still function. +200% added damage of any element of your choice, guaranteed procs of that element per hit, all on a frame that does not require energy, can heal himself and obtain status immunity, and can easily sustain ammo with Transmutation Probe. And since the enemy faction is always Corpus, you can infuse Toxin to bypass shields.
On top of all that, Lavos is extremely simple to obtain, just requiring sufficient Entrati reputation as the only actual hurdle. But if you can farm the Vitus Essence required to get the locators, you can easily handle the missions themselves. I used a Tenet Glaxion for crowd control, a Sporelacer secondary for a lot of AoE Toxin damage, and a Glaive Prime because the Cerata I was building wasn't done yet. (The forced procs on certain heavy attack glaive detonations are quite strong compared to what most other melee weapons can do with no mods or stances.)
I wouldn't say the missions were fun- they take longer to finish than they probably should, but they felt completely manageable. I've seen people discuss the Excavation one being particularly bad due to needing 800 cryotic and a lack of power cell drops, but I had absolutely no issues with power cells when I did it. If you're playing in a group, stick together and focus on one room at a time- the biggest thing that will impact power cell spawns is when you have everyone all off doing their own thing nowhere near one another. But that also applies to standard Excavation.
I also want to add to this, as cerata and nataruk made the missions a breeze. Definitely don't do it alone too. They weren't hard, just REALLY boring.
Definitely do NOT buy him with plat. The missions are pretty easy if you have a decent weapon, a vaguely survivable warframe at base (nidus, hildryn, etc), and don't do them solo.
Wish they would make an augment for pulverize which increases its damage based on the amount of bounces he did in the past 4 seconds
PINBALL GRENDEL??
Please god yes
We dont need catapult after the rework so make it do this instead
It's ironic that the eater ended up being the best food for the helminth itself
Ah, finally done with this shi- "2/15 murkray liver"
Lavos with Valence Formation trivializes these missions. Everybody gets toxin (or radiation to get the pressure off you).
Augment Mod Suggestion: Eating an Eximus unit gives you their aura, wearing off [x] seconds after they digest.
That sounds really cool actually
Pog. Like headhunter in Path of Exile, "when you kill a rare monster, you gain it's modifiers for 20 seconds".
And it actully requires a little effort since you have to get through over guard first
To cheese this use Wisp/Hildryn with the vaykor hek and a good melee. For the survival use life supports at around 50% and for the defense/excavation the shock mote is really nice at CC'ing allowing you to kill them pretty easily. Vaykor Hek has some pretty neat raw damage and one shots (almost) all the corpus on headshots. Use a melee with high attack speed and decent damage, I used kronen prime but nikana prime, lesion, and guandao prime are also things that would work.
Guys hear me out.
I found someone willing to EV Trinity for me and
I found Yareli is perfect for this.
On Merulina you can't die.
Her 3 lasts 60 seconds by default and deals tons of damage for that level, slash + bleed.
You just need an EV Trin to give you some energy once in a while and just walk through enemies for all the missions.
Hope this helps
^ me again, this whole strat is refering to Grendel's missions.
Using Mirages first ability (maybe the others too) during the Grendel missions breaks the instance not allowing you to use melee, any skills and in the case of the survival not interact with the life support drops. This has been a bug in the game since 2020 and has not been dealt with,
