Mission Failure Imminent during assassination?

[RealHeftyTrout]

I was fighting big boi Lephantis and during his second phase I got an alert saying "Mission Failure Imminent" and then something about eliminating enemies, but the only enemy was Lephantis, and then shortly after I failed the mission despite not actually failing it. I lost all of my precious neurodes and XP. Anyone know why this happened?

There is a feature to kick you out if you do not get any kills in a set amount of time. False positives can happen I am afraid. You will just have to go do the mission again and make sure you kill enemies periodically along the way.

Well the timer for this is about 10 minutes IIRC, so I don't know what you were doing AFK for 10 minutes, but don't do that in the future and this can be avoided. The actual Lephantis fight periodically spawns enemies itself as well. It might not be the worst idea ever to leave some of the spawning pods alive if it takes you 10 minutes to get past the first phase of the fight.

Also, since you failed the mission, I assume you were playing solo. If you solo queue - and set your matchmaking to "Solo" - you can actually pause the game and that doesn't affect the AFK timer at all.

I never had this with me and didn't even know about the existence of this feature even after playing for 2k hours...

All things said, Lephantis can take quite a while to kill and he is the most bugged boss out there. Not long ago it was extremely common that his Corpus head would never open, making virtually impossible to kill him...

It's a ridiculous feature that I've pointed out some time ago which I presume they haven't somehow patch it out.

This is especially annoying if you're unaware of it and you're soloing sortie Lephantis. Happened to me once and the timer still continued after I killed it.

I suppose taking too long for the fight can trigger the AFK timer ?

Though I didn't experience in while fighting Lephantis, I did experience on orokin moon exterminate mission
when I try to find the Orokin Principle Challenge rooms to unlock junction.

Taking too long or when kill-over-time drop below certain threshold seems to activate that.

As if Warframe boss fights weren't underwhelming enough

When they finally become engaging they kick you out for taking too long LMAO

This is such a joke

Sadly that is a result of the afk timer. Once it triggers, I am afraid the mission is a bust usually. Just try again, and make sure to move a good distance and shoot enemies to kill them every few seconds. Ability kills and melee don't count natively.

Had that happen on a pub sortie once. None of the team knew about this mechanic at the time.

Guess it would be best to leave the spawn pod head till last.

It used to be 30mins iirc

As others said of all the info. So perhaps you’d like to recruit a team to fight Le Panties until you’re able to deal with the boss yourself
