The Void (also known as the Untime[1]) is a mysterious realm of extra-dimensional space, where the laws of physics and time hold little sway. It is the source of many mysterious phenomena, as well as the origin of the
Tenno's powers. The Void is the primary source of
Argon Crystals. Additionally, missions in the Void are also guaranteed to reward a Void Relic.
The Void can be accessed via connections from Europa, Neptune, Phobos, and Sedna.
The Orokin Void serves as the main environment for the Void.
Lore & History[]
General[]
As a Star Chart location, the Void contains numerous space-fairing vessels known as Orokin Towers; gleaming white and gold structures built by the
Orokin to serve a sanctuaries against
Sentient attack during the Old War.[2] These towers are of immense interest to the major factions of the Origin System, who desire the vast treasures and Orokin technology hidden within.
The First Void Voyage[]
- Main article: Albrecht Entrati

Inside the Void
At first, the Void was merely observed by the Orokin, with any unique occurrences and phenomena recorded for potential study. Its full potential wasn't realized until much later by prominent Orokin scientist Albrecht Entrati. He theorized that the Void could be used to aid the Orokin in entering a new age era of space travel and interstellar colonization.
After years of numerous failures and the loss of support from his peers, Albrecht would begin to believe that the Void was simply nothing; an actual void, lacking form and energy. To ambitions of space travel, it appeared to be just another dead end.
However, Albrecht would instead use himself as a test subject in traveling through an experimental Void gate, known as the Wall of Lohk. He would ultimately be successful in his experiment, successfully crossing over to the Void through the use of a
Seriglass Bell. While inside the Void, Albrecht saw a vast sea of white light pierced by black stars; a flowing, colorful vapor twirling around him, whose source was the wall he came through and his own head. However, he would meet an unknown entity with the Void that mimicked his appearance. After exiting the Wall,
After years of research into unknown traces of Void's energy, also known as Untime. He was responsible for the creation of the Heart, a device used to "pumps the arteries of 'the here' and the Void" according to Mother.[3] The Heart is responsible for channeling Void-related phenomenon to the current reality, keeping the "Wall of Lohk" open between the Void and the physical world.[4] The Entrati family has maintained this Heart for generations, preserving the functionality of what remains of the Orokin Empire, potentially including the function of the Solar Rail.
The Deep Void[]
The Void appears to consist of numerous separate regions[5], each pertaining to a different location. There is the Kingdom of Duviri, located behind the Zariman Ten Zero; its sky ever-changing, the weather and color being based on the Dominus' fickle emotions and current mood, and can range from sullen downpours to rage full meteor showers.
The Granum Void (also known as Granum's Void) is a region of the Void where the wreckage of Parvos Granum's capital ship can be found, and where Granum was preserved by the Warframe
Protea. The sky appears to endlessly burn away, while thunderous lightning crackles between the suspended fragments of stone and ship debris. The Orokin Towers reside with a relatively calmer region, referred to as the Orokin Void. Its 'sky' is a calm blue, and filled with ethereal, cloud-like fractals.
Comparatively, there is a more violent region referred to as the Great Indifference[6], where the abstract
Murmur can be found. This is an inverted realm, where upside-down, monolithic towers constructed of calcified stone hang from the land above. All the while, giant gaping mouths silently bellow into the abyss. Currently, this region is corrupting Albrecht's Laboratories, converting the labs into piles of sand and brutalist stone.
Conceptual Embodiment[]
- Main article: Conceptual Embodiment

A mass of Void energy, shaped to resemble a human body
One especially noteworthy aspect of the Void is its interaction with aspects of consciousness. In essence, through the power of the Void, thoughts, memories, emotions and even concepts can manifest into physical things. This unique reaction is referred to as Conceptual Embodiment.
Additionally, Conceptual Embodiment allows for a certain degree of resurrection to exist. Through the power of the Void, a being's own thoughts and consciousness can reform into a semi-exact replica of the original being.[7]
Perhaps one of the most apparent examples of Concepual Embodiment is the kingdom of Duviri. Once a fiction land used as the setting of children's book, the entire kingdom, inhabitants and all, were spontaneously formed within the Void by the anxieties of the Drifter during the aftermath Zariman's Void-Jump Incident.
Dangers & Risks[]
Due to the Void's unique paradoxical nature, excessive exposure to its energies is known to lead to numerous risks, such as temporal distortions, insanity, and being unaligned with reality.[8][9][10] Thus, traveling through the Void is still considered to be an extremely risky act.
It is highly recommended to control one's thoughts and emotions when entering the Void, as any wayward feelings may result in unpredictable manifestations that embody said thoughts.
The children aboard the Zariman Ten Zero were an exception, retaining their sanity during the Zariman Ten Zero Incident albeit gaining uncontrollable Void-related powers. The children obtained their powers by making contact with a doppelgänger of themselves, as a means of managing the deteriorating situation on board the trapped ship[11].
Exposure to Void energy seems to cause some form of corruption or deformation that appears as swirling, liquid metal. This can be seen on the Tempestarii and the Zariman, especially around its Reliquary Drive.
The Void is known to be responsible for (or at least connected to) phenomenon such as time travel[12], parallel universes[13][14], pocket dimensions[15], teleportation[16][17], superposition[18], resurrection[19], and supernatural powers such as Warframe or Operator Abilities, Void Fissures, The Man in The Wall, and Dominus Thrax.
Unique Void Phenomena[]
The Void's influence is not strictly contained within its own dimension. Its unstable energies often leak into the reality of the Origin System, causing numerous accounts of unpredictable phenomena to occur.
- Void Fissures: Void Fissures are essentially small, short-lived tears in reality that lead to the Void. They can often be seen appearing on the surface of planets, and despite their size, they are able to spew out Corrupted enemies, and can even corrupt any nearby enemies with Void energy.
- Void Storms: Similar to Fissures, Void Storms are instead exponentially large fissures that slowly move across the void of space like a massive fanged maw. They ravage anything caught in their path.
- Void Conjuctions: Conjunctions are essentially small-scaled Void Storms that usually appear exclusively on Lua. Despite the numerous Void manifestations that followed, these events were usually favored by the Orokin due to their unintended aid in assisting with Continuity rituals. Rituals conducted during these times often had a much higher success rate, and thus were reserved exclusively for the Orokin Seven. The Warframe
Voruna was often employed to serve during these rituals, protecting the participants from any manner of entities that manifested from out of the Void.
Technology & Resources[]
The Indifference[]

Enemies[]
- Main article: Corrupted
These units have been taken over by the Neural Sentry to protect the Towers from outside forces. Note that the Void missions accessible from Sedna junction are considered to be "Tier 4" (T4) difficulty. Enemies will deal +200% bonus damage compared to their actual levels.
| All nodes | Level 30+ Only | Level 40+ Only |
|---|---|---|
The Stalker, Syndicate Kill Squads and, in Steel Path mode, Acolytes, may also appear to hunt down Tenno during Tower missions.
Missions[]
Unlike other planets whose entirety can be accessed from a single entry node, the Void is divided into four different branches of nodes, each set separate from each other that must be accessed from four different planets (Phobos, Europa, Neptune, & Sedna). Note that once the Void is unlocked, completing missions on branches from a different planet will permanently unlock the mission. This can allow a player to access other planets without unlocking their junction. For example, completing Aten will grant access to the planet Sedna.

In the lore about the Void, sounds like Causality is broken, is there any citations that says it is simply apart from it or greater than it?
If it's outside of the universe, then it doesn't have to abide be said universe's laws of physics... Albrecht relegated the Indifference to a single strand of Khra, somehow, which prevents it from doing absolutely whatever it wants.
Abide by*
Judging from what we’ve seen in The New War and will probably be explained about more in The Duviri Paradox, the Void transcends all timelines.
the void is an interdimensional crack that when played with absolute ambition (good or bad) corrupts enemies or characters to inverse attitudes (good for bad and bad for good or crazy).
In some cases the void corrupts the enemy to null attitudes (undefined or passive) this blurring causes the void to create corrupted allies within orokin ships, these ships are not Entrat creations as the Entrat family lost a family war.
the tennos cannot be affected by these void occurrences and the tennos cannot be affected by the void because the tennos are void of attitudes, the tennos are like children, a child does not know what is bad and good until he knows them and classify them in their experienced affinities.
The void cannot be good or bad, the void can only be one of them, unless the individual is pure in heart like a child or the warframe of a child he will not go mad.
The Man in the Wall, Evil Rell and Corrupteds Enemies are evil entities that escaped the other dimension (Maybe Duviri), these entities cause chaos in the main universe as everyone is in search of the power of the void without the innocence of a child, this causes infinite corruption in the system.

...Bro what
Pi you got some stuff wrong...
Sorry i was very anxious in writing so i wrote a lot of random stuff.
We can say that this was written by an alcoholic. Yep. :p
The damage bonus in the T4 missions screwed me badly. Like, I was just playing through the game, handeling the lv. 30-40 enemies alright, then I ran into Aten and got melted. I then proceeded to be super scared of high level enemies, thinking that I needed to become much stronger before I could fight anything beyond lv. 40.
I *am* there right now. :-(
Shits dumb asf
I was there until i realised that my broken war could shred through level 40 corpus
Just happened to me when I reached aten lol
The void is self aware ?
I'm saying that in same sense as with non consciousness intelligence .
Like colonies of coral reef or slime mold .
The void possibly see humans as sort of Existential threat or infection .
It's not manipulating humans out of malic , but of self preservation , as way of self defense .
Although there is nothin concrete to support this idea , but it's Interesting observation .
Peace
Considering the Man in The Wall frequently taunts us and is seemingly pleased we are guilty of Isaah's death, I think he's pretty malicious.
Teshin makes the distinction the void is connected to misery too.
The New War also gives some implications too
Guess we'll have to wait until Duviri for more answers.
From The Sacrifice:
Operator: "I killed him... Isaah."
???: "Did you now? Is that how you remember it?"
???: "Good."
From The War Within:
Teshin: "Margulis lied to you, a lie of omission. She did not cure the Zariman children - she erased them. My only hope is that truth still lingers inside you, buried within your mind. The power and the misery... of the Void."
From The New War:
The Man in the Wall: "Time's up, kiddo. I can save them, all of them. But you have to want it... let's say we shake on it."
By "all" did he literally mean everyone on the ship or just the kids?
The Man in The Wall doesn't seem to purposely be the one making the Adults on the Zariman go insane., but if he could save everyone on the ship, why didn't didn't he?
If he could save the adults and didn't, I'd say he's malicious
It would be nice if the fractures were moved to void. It would be farming for prime parts like it used to be before relics were introduced. Yes, there would be fewer game modes, but it would make more sense for the Void gameplay wise.
That's... literally how it used to be. "Fractures" didn't exist in the past, you used Void Keys to farm prime parts in the Void. They'd literally just be undoing the concept of Void Fractures for no reason to return to a less fun game variant.
Apparently if you have any part of the Void unlocked, you can have other people bring you into a mission like Aten and it will let you access Kelpie on Sedna before you unlock the planet.
Ukko is the god of thunder from the FINNISH mythology.
Suomi mainittu! Torille!
Just had a thought.
TLDR: The Void likes to mimic stuff
Also spoilers for Deadlock, Chains of Harrow, Second Dream, and Void-rune lore in the Necralisk.
Specter particles (the stuff that make specters work, Parvos Granum invented/discovered them) are probably from the Void. Granum mentions in one of the recordings in Deadlock that the specter particle was an Entrati secret, so probobly Void-related. Specter particles mimic stuff, and then impart that into other stuff, or something like that. The important part is that they mimic stuff. The Man in the Wall also seems to mimic whoever it's accosting. It manifests as our operator when its jumpscaring us, and what I'm assuming is the Man mimics Albretch Entrati when he enters the Void (I haven't unlocked all the lore entries yet so I might be wrong). I kinda think that's not a coincidence. The fact that DE explained Specter particles right before reminding us how the MITW mimics people. So void likes to mimic stuff, weird.
As a side note, the MITW seems to refer to both the Tenno and the Orokin (at least Albrecht) in a sort of parental manner. It calls the player Kiddo, and calls Albrecht little bengal, which is heavily hinted to be what his mother called him.
To say nothing of the Void mimicking Albrecht's lab after he physically entered the Void; most prominently it only copied *part* of the lab, most likely only what would have been visible through the portal had light been passing through normally.
I'm beginning to get the impression that the Requiem words represent concepts and principles fundamental to the real world that the Void naturally lacks and will take or copy when presented the opportunity; Specter particles in this case would essentially be matter without Form(Jahu), which it can be imprinted with through the medium of Light(Ris).
How would Void (Lohk) be fundamental to the real world and not the Void?
The void in that case could refer to space itself?
The void could also be a amalgam of all the infinite realities
Funny that the Void can be best compared to Anu from the Elder Scrolls
how do you get the void i just went to this wiki page to see the fraction
By accessing one of it's connected nodes. The Void does NOT require a Junction as the Void is what creates the Solar Rails. By reaching a node that goes into the void, like Ceres. You can access a part of the Void.
It Phobos btw not Ceres
Is there a drop table listing for orokin void containers, and the mods they drop?
imagine wanting to get riven challenges done but warframe said no(idk)
How does anyone get Aten unlocked? I have access from Sedna junction but do I have to unlock/finish all the missions on Sedna to unlock it?
I guess the blue diamond ones have to be done twice then since I've already cleared them. Thanks for all the help. Can't believe I forgot that blue missions are just missions you've done/unlocked, not completed, boy do I feel like a noob; been a couple months since I played last
blue diamond means it hasn't been done. of note, if you do it on a sortie, kuva siphon, syndicate etc. it won't unlock the node, it has to be a normal mission, and it has to be after the map has been unlocked.
^void fissures will count as completion for the mastery points
It does NOT need to be a normal mission. I played Charybdis without unlocking Selkie first simply by doing the Hidden Messages quest.
Afterwards I was able to play a normal mission on Kelpie and after that to proceede to Aten.
Would really appreciate an option in endless survival missions for group members to leave without forcing extraction of the entire group. Like the vote in defence missions.
Why do people want to leave after the first relic opening all the time, and why should others be forced to leave if they want to stay?
Especially when there are no other endless missions available, and the one you are doing expired prior to the first relic reward?
Defence missions could do with an extraction point too for when the vote goes quickly against one person.
They can always Leave Squad and go to extraction themselves. Though Host Migration is pretty sensitive to destroying loot & progress. I'm pretty sure you can start an extraction with the timer and then all people within extraction will leave while the person remains.
Thats a rather recent feature, I'm not sure if that was implemented yet in February 2019 when the comment was made.
FFS DE, fix that damned damage hike on branch 4 already!!!
Getting random explosions out of nowhere, invis ash going dying instantly from it. What causes it
corrupted bombard? their missiles fly very weirdly
As an Ash P. main for many years...that's a Corrupted Grineer Lancer throwing a grenade at your location. All I can think is that they are just able to locate you based on sound but this game has become very poor with Ash being targeted (with no way to reason how they are shooting at YOU or finding YOU). Times where they come to dead fellow bodies, somewhere you shot with a weapon (though them hearing it two rooms away is AMAZING!), or bumping into someone while invisible is semi-understandable. However over the years there has been numerous times where I'll just not shoot or even move (maybe a shuriken) and have been shot, walked up to, or had a grenade thrown in my direction (even them throwing it in line with where I am headed) all while invisible for over 20 seconds.
i think im gay
Probable
hahahahahahahahahahhahah ur bad at life
No but srsly rip
me too :)
This article does not mention Nef Anyo's religious doctrine. Not even briefly.
that actually should be added in under a lore section or something
Endo reward for rotation A in T4 Fissure Mot is bugged. It gave me 15 endo.
