The Sacrifice — Warframe Walkthrough

The Sacrifice is a significant quest in Warframe, delving deep into the lore of the Tenno and their connection to their Warframes. This guide details key narrative elements and character insights related to the quest, drawing from ancient folklore and transmissions from characters like Onkko. Understanding these elements is crucial for appreciating the story's depth.

The ancient warrior Gara, known through folklore and oral tradition, was the Unum's closest companion. When the Lotus instructed her children to flee, Gara remained, refusing to abandon the one she loved. Gara protected her friend by shattering a Sentient that had previously razed many cities and felled Towers. The mindless monstrosities now roaming the Plains of Eidolon, known as Teralysts, are all that remain of this shattered Sentient.

Onkko's transmissions provide further insight into this conflict:

• First Transmission: "By night the Sentient was abroad, its titanic mass casting a terrible shadow across the land, the mass of it railing against the walls of the Tower, yet kept at bay by the exertion of the Unum's colossal will and the sacrifice of her faithful. But such exertions could not be maintained forever. Gara yearned to strike out, to lash and tear at the monstrosity that threatened her love, but the Unum forbade it. At night the Sentient was at the height of its power, and Gara's light would make her the most tempting of targets to a creature of such profound darkness. Gara's death would be certain. No. A different strategy was required."
• Second Transmission: "The Sentient prowled and pressed and failed, never risking too much - for the Sentient could not reproduce. What it lost it lost forever. It had killed many cities before, felled many Towers, but this little one prevailed. Why, it pondered in many voices, was that? The Unum knew she could"

These transmissions highlight the strategic thinking involved in combating the Sentient and the deep bond between Gara and the Unum.
