The Scathing Whisper is a unique
Murmur field boss that can be encountered within Albrecht's Laboratories on Deimos.
Overview[]
- Main article: Whisper
Scathing Whispers are shadowy mimics that copy the appearance of whoever unbound them from their tome. Once unbound, a doppelgänger of the Tenno's Operator or Drifter will crawl up from the ground, and will then mimic the appearance of their Warframe.
Once the Whisper's first health bar is depleted, a Whisper Grimoire, marked by a white icon, must be located and destroyed to fully banish the entity.
Behavior[]
During battle, the Whisper will use numerous abilities from various other Warframes, all while laughing gleefully. This version of the Whisper prefers ranged attacks and tactics.

| Deploys a shield that blocks attacks. | |
| Deploys multiple wormholes with damaging energy trails. The trails are then further energized, becoming laser-like obstacles for a few seconds. |

Good mini boss, with good rewards. Keep more of this coming DE
Another possibility is nova warp it spams them all around the room all of them leading to a central point that is spams attacks into
Another version is it casts a single wormhole and teleported to another player from afar.
It can also drop a volt shield, and sits behind it spamming the grimoire bolts.
Seems to me like it's ability set is somewhat dependant on the warframe used by the player. When im playing hildryn it rises into the air, becomes invulnerable to damage (annoying) and starts launching energy waves with a sword (kinda like exalted blade) for some time. Never seen this behaviour when im playing other frames. Or when im using Protea it disappears, summons many nova-like teleports that shoot laserbeams after a short delay. It then exits one of the portals and continues the fight. Maybe someone can confirm?
The nova portals are from this Scathing whisper, as it's the ranged subtype. The exalted blade stuff is from the melee Mocking whisper
Fought one today as Protea and it also did all the nova-portals, could be a coincidence though
Welp, this page sure exists. sure does the mob, I'd guess.
Yeah I killed that enemy just now, he exists.
The sad goat will yell at you when the grimoire is nearby
