ntyd1s Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 List of things I observed from running Isolation Vaults which may become useful to others: - Nora is your best friend for skipping ANY tedious repetitive dialogues. Open Nightwave menu during the intro to skip and get close to bait machine to start residue hunt phase immediately! In squad, only HOST can do this. - Necramech can pick up finished bait and throw but I'll avoid using mech for mission critical stuff due to some inconsistent bugs. Necramech can no longer do any context action - HOST will have a hard time damaging the hostile Necramech while CLIENTS can sometimes kill it with 1 shot through the weakspot This might not be the case anymore. Try not to shoot too close at Necramech revving with electric arcs which reflect damage. (I used Catchmoon secondary). For playing solo, this is 1 of 2 situations where SPECTERS can become helpful (aside from being paperweight in Coaction Drift test) as a distraction. These may assist as long as you don't activate them too close to it: Exodia Epidemic: can stall it Magus Lockdown: can stall it Vazarin - Protective Dash: can heal self Vazarin - Guardian Blast: can restore shield in a pinch, won't get dispelled :p Equinox - Rest: can stall it, I infused it on Saryn :p - Dissic Scaffold Amp is useful for opening crates, killing maggots, activating switches with its radial damage and currently can also activate all 4 (powered) switches and unlock Vault at once (for HOST only) but expect it to get patched out soon. (legitimate unlocking is not too hard but it takes extra time and sometimes permanent lock bug occurs :p) - For CLIENTS, Switching to Operator inside the Vault will cause Operator to get teleported to vault entrance and get teleported there again next time you switch. Must walk out of the Vault in Operator mode to prevent later unwanted teleport. This appears to be fixed now. - Scintillants are pretty common finds (not limited to) above jump pads around the Vault area, I suspect they disappeared before players have a chance to get there... usually floating around wildly in middle of wide open space, quite easy to spot. - Upon leaving squad; common loots, Obelisks, bounties sequences will all be regenerated. However, certain special loots and Animal Conservation call points won't be renewed and Vaults will be completely inaccessible. As CLIENT, I left squad after finishing all Isolation Vaults and I got Scintillants EVERY TIME! about 85% of the time in some or all 3 of the Isolation Vault areas. - There are 2 types of Scintillant pickups: black and white, one can be picked up by Operator and the other by Warframe. <<Total misunderstanding, Scintillants gradually change color back and forth over time, become untouchable when it turns white. Scintillants cannot be marked, do show up in loot radar and must be picked up by touching directly with either Warframe or Operator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonDragon Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Be sure you're using a Resource booster also when farming them, as they are affected by the pickups. By the time you're farming tier 5 vaults, you'll have plenty of Scintellants. The drop rate from the bounties is painful otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o0Despair0o Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I've been getting scintillant to no end recently, even without boosters. Heck, if I had a random necramech mod for each unwanted scintillant I'd have the whole set by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntyd1s Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 The whole time I don't have any resource booster. Scintillant migration method worked 4 out of 5 tries so far ranging from 0-4 pickups each. Built everything including extra Xaku and still have 20 Scintillants left. Black Scintillant << pick up with Warframe, white << Operator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xolot Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Wait there are black and white scintillant? Up to this point no matter how hard I look, I never hear any weird sound or even get to see any scintillant floating around, and I already got enough for everything it is needed at, just from killing several Necramechs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once saw white one floating around while busy but when I got back to it, it already disappeared somehow. My confirmed locations are above the jump pad thing, all 3 of them, and around middle of the dark room with tunnel down the center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is good to know, thanks for the data, I was looking for them, but i just have never been able to find any, or hear the sound, probably because of the never-ending flood of infested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallen77 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Haven't seen this mentionned anywhere : you can find otak token lying on the ground in iso vaults. Have only found a single one so far, it was in the infested part of a tunnel, like 10 meters from the dial room. It's not much, but it's there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fallen77 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 il y a 16 minutes, ntyd1s a dit : That random occurrence is not limited to Vaults, I found a Daughter Token in a random dead-end cave too. Oh right. There could be manier of those overall. If it was vaguely reliable to find those, people would spend 10x more time looking for son token than if they were doing actual conservation. And I would be on the sideline, laughing my butt off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntyd1s Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 Here is a screenshot of a black Scintillant (at crosshair) from a while back in "dark room with tunnel down the center" (tunnel is behind the wall to the left). Note that it does not show a name and it cannot be marked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKerris Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Funny how I've found one, just one scintillant in all of the runs I've done. Oh well at least I don't need them anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For playing solo, this is 1 of 2 situations where SPECTERS can become helpful (aside from being paperweight in Coaction Drift test) as a distraction. my experience on xbox console is the opposite - sometimes host is only one that can damage necramech but when i'm host (and my aim is not trash) i can one shot them every time in a squad or solo. when i have issues as a client - shooting it does nothing - no zeros, no damage, its as if the game didn't even acknowledge the inputs, although other enemies are killed just fine. And if it has it shield active, and this bug happens, as a client I am unable to destroy the shield - so the host has to do all the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monolake Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I somehow managed to get teleport bug but OUTSIDE the vault so I could not enter it... probably because of the operator no-clip bug I had bypassed some trigger when I fell out of the map and used archwing to get back into the tunnels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntyd1s Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 Updated the information according to current game version. This is me passed through, failing to grab a Scintillant during its white state ~ ~; It makes more sense now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
