The Treasurer is a unique Corpus enemy only found on the Corpus Ship tileset. They were introduced in Update 28.0 (2020-06-11) and are the only source for Granum Crowns.
Crowns will only drop after the player has completed The Deadlock Protocol quest.
Behavior[]
Treasurers will spawn in any mission on the Corpus Ship tileset within 2-4 minutes for non-endless missions and 3-8 minutes for endless missions. When they appear, a transmission will play and the Treasurer will be automatically marked with a red marker. They will constantly run away from the player (similar to capture targets) and deploy various countermeasures in an attempt to distract them, such as slowing tether grenades, invisibility, and shockwaves. They will teleport out of the mission if not killed within 90 seconds. Before despawning, they will start to glow with a bright white light, indicating that the player has to hurry up to finish them off.
Damage Resistance[]
Treasurers have a unique shield that possesses 99% innate Damage Reduction, as well as being impenetrable by methods that would normally bypass shields (such as
Toxin damage), making them very resilient to most weapons and abilities. Unlike most shields, their shields will not recharge after being damaged. They can, however, be recharged by Shield Ospreys, even when fully depleted.
Toxin procs have no effect (dealing 0 damage) while their shields are up.
Their health has an innate 98% damage reduction, despite having no armor.

Notes[]
- The Treasurer does not spawn in Valac, Europa due to being a Crossfire mission, despite using the Corpus Ship tileset.
- Treasurers can spawn in Grineer Galleon tileset as well, given that the particular mission node is occupied by the Corpus.
- To prevent the Granum Crown from being dropped in extraction zones and therefore unreachable, the Treasurer will move away from it if he is within 35 meters. In addition, if the Granum Crown is dropped at the extraction point, it will be teleported to a safe spot.
- The Treasurer will not spawn if a player is within 35 meters of extraction.
- Drops are not affected by
Nekros
Desecrate,
Hydroid's
Pilfering Swarm,
Ivara's
Prowl,
Atlas
Ore Gaze,
Khora's
Pilfering Strangledome and Chesa Kubrow's
Retrieve.
Toxin and
True damage do not bypass the Treasurer's shields and deal no damage.- Immune to
Revenant's
Enthrall,
Hildryn's
Pillage, and
Vauban's
Bastille (Both Bastille and Vortex forms) and
Minelayer Tether Coils.
Tips[]
Mesa's
Peacemaker can kill Treasurers quickly.- All of a Treasurer's shields can be instantly removed with
Nyx's
Psychic Bolts,
Xaku's
Gaze,
Caliban's
Fusion Strike,
Styanax's
Tharros Strike, or
Unairu's
Magnetic Flare.
Magnetic damage is still effective against Treasurers, with its procs increasing the amount of damage done to their shield.
Revenant's
Reave depletes shields by a percentage.
Cold procs and
Sevagoth's
Gloom can be used to slow down Treasurers.- Treasurers are vulnerable to
Harrow's
Condemn's immobilization effect, and
Khora's
Ensnare, both of which can be infused onto any Warframe using the Helminth. - Nightmare Mode missions with the No Shields modifier will remove the Treasurer's shields also.
Trivia[]
- Treasurers are voiced by Lucas Schuneman, or better known by his alias VoiceActingNinja, who also provided the voice for Nef Anyo, Tyl Regor, and Ghoul Rictus.
- The Treasurer's cache is its own item, labeled as "(Tier) Granum Crown Cache", and it breaks apart as soon as it contacts the ground. This suggests that during Update 28.0 (2020-06-11)'s development, players were originally intended to retrieve or break the caches themselves in order to collect the Crowns, and this was a very late change.
Bugs[]
- Sometimes Treasurers may not despawn if the player runs away from the area they appear on.

Tharros strike or just call your crewmate to blast his dumb*ss
They essentially just gave this guy 21,000 base effective health which would make more sense compared to just 99% dr instead imo
This mf is so hard to kill
So pillage doesn't strip shields but tharros strike does?
I don't even want the crowns 99% of the time. I just wanna kill him for having an obnoxious voice.
Me too..
Impossible to kill in that timeframe for higher level Treasurers.
Especially with "Condition: Augmentet Shields".
4 players were trying to kill a level 80 T and failed.
Why put DR if shield strips exist tho ? Simply wondering
"Why give armor to units if armor strips exist tho?"
To give the unprepared people a hurdle to overcome.
Fighting corpus? Bring shield strip next
Define skill issue
Ah yes the clear skill issue of not building specifically to kill a single optional enemy within 90 seconds because they are, completely arbitrarily, near impossible to kill with most functional builds unless you grossly out preform what is needed for the node you're on.
It may not be most efficient but Atlas' Landslide is so satisfying against this annoying fu...
Fuckery.
He also spawns in occupied corpus territories, like Adaro, Sedna i found him 3 times today lol
150k EHP in deadlock protocol quest. Not a fun experience when your weapon has like 700dps. Especially when he gets recharged by a shield osprey spawned by a tech.
Can still spawn and stay in the extraction zone, running around inside, but not leaving until it despawns.
Man those Treasurer are annoying and don't drop those crowns
I still don't get why he specifically says CROWNS, implying plural, and yet only drops one coin at a time.
You'd think he'd atleast drop multiple low-level crowns and one or two exemplar and zenith crowns on death.
I was procrastrinating on the deadlock protocol quest... whoops rip the crowns i wouldve gotten
It's actually interesting that you can spawn him everytime in Zeugma, Phobos (Dark Sector Survival) while you're haunted by a sister of Parvos, but I haven't managed to spawn him once at the other Grineer galleon mission on Phobos (Memphis - originally Defection, when haunted by sisters it's a Crossfire Exterminate between Grineer and Corpus).
Fun fact: these are the only 2 missions where you can (possibly - I haven't managed to spawn them once on Memphis) kill the treasurer on the Grineer Galleon tileset without waiting to be occupied by Corpus. More on this, if you do not kill enough hounds, the missions will still be under sister's control so you can kill the treasurer more than once.
Fun fact: When he dies, he first drops carrying case that contains the Crown, that case is highlighted in scanner / helios attempts to scan it, but it breaks so quickly, its impossible to fully scan it.
It was scannable when they first introduced him by using Limbo's stasis to freeze the case before it breaks. No longer possible
Just killed him on the Corpus Gas City tileset when I was avoiding Sister (because she spawned almost at the start of the mission), survival on Cameria.
Well, I haven't encountered him on the Elara (also survival but not the Dark Sector like the Cameria) so I don't have a screenshot of him but I've got at least a screenshot of the mission results on the Cameria, I can send it (not in English tho) if any verification is needed.
Well, now I've found him on Kelashin, Neptune, which is also Dark Sector survival. Does that mean that he appears on Dark Sector missions occupied by Sisters for some reason (on their missions of course)? Defection is replaced with Crossfire Exterminate so he don't spawn here, I haven't tested Dark Sector Defense yet and I don't think I'll do that soon.
They have to guarantee its spawn if de wants to have the corpus lich always have a tetra because thats an instant skip
So how many times can he spawn per mission?
Once
Can you one shot the steel path treasurer with 300 % ability strength reaving revenant with enthrall and 10 stacks of viral on the treasurer ?
Not sure but i'm assuming atlas can oneshot him.
Treasurer: Noooooo! you have to hit my shields!
Nyx:haha Psychic Bolts go brrr
