Gargoyle's Cry 35.0.3

Tenno: The following Operation is designed for players who have finished the “Whispers in the Walls” quest. Review at your discretion!

OPERATION: Gargoyle’s Cry

“Your attention, please.

The Murmur threat demands immediate action. Our first order of business must be surveillance. An early detection system lest we be caught sans trousers.

You would agree that a Vigile Jahu Gargoyle installed within each Tenno Dojo is the obvious solution. Not a whisper could be uttered in the system without the connected Dojos overhearing it first.

Your compliance is appreciated. The Vigile Jahu Gargoyle awaits you within your Dojo - simply place it as a Decoration. The enemy does not hesitate. We must do no less.” - Fibonacci

The Murmur encroaches on our systems, Tenno. The Whispers beyond the Wall are a new threat; we must ensure they stay confined to Albrecht’s Laboratory. 

Operation: Gargoyle’s Cry is a limited-time event launching today, December 18 at 2 p.m. ET and ending on January 15, 2 p.m. ET across all platforms.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

The Murmur continues to scrape deeper into our realm of existence. Having devised a solution to detect such whispers, Fibonacci won’t allow such trespassing to threaten our system.

This Operation relies on Tenno across the Origin System to construct an invisible ‘living defense’ against the growing Murmur threat. 

To join this living defense, or ‘Murmur Telemetry Chorus,’ you must hunt down the power source that’ll continuously power your Vigile Jahu Gargoyle. Fight against the ominous Murmur to earn new and returning rewards from previous Operations.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO

Operation: Gargoyle’s Cry is no small task. Only those who have finished the “Whispers in the Wall” Quest can join and complete the event and the associated Mission. This event is for players on-content.

After finishing the “Whispers in the Wall” Quest, Tenno will find a Vigile Jahu Gargoyle decoration to place within their Dojo. This will require a member of your Clan to be capable of placing down decorations, which players will then build via resources gathered from Albrecht’s Laboratories. Once all the resources are contributed, the Gargoyle only takes 60 seconds to build.

Tenno must then complete the Effervo Mission on Deimos to collect Cursed Murmur Energy to activate the Gargoyle. You’ll acquire this energy by defeating one of the Fragmented Trio (the assassination target), with the squad able to pick up one of three dropped Curses:

  • Curse of Knowing from The Fragmented Suzerain,
  • Curse of Seeing from The Fragmented Anchorite,
  • Curse of Hearing from The Fragmented Zelator.

You’ll acquire only a singular amount of one type of Curse on Normal Path but double of one Curse on Steel Path. Curse acquisition is unaffected by Resource Boosters.

The Murmur is not the only threat, however. Void Angels have breached the in-between of the Laboratories and The Indifference, desiring to consume the Cursed energy. If you do not kill the Angel lurking around, it will consume the Curse dropped by the Assassination Target, leaving you Curseless.

Return to your Dojo afterwards to lift your curse by feeding it to the Gargoyle. Spend time with your new decoration, as the Gargoyle is also a vendor, allowing you to purchase new and returning Operation items while netting progress towards the community reward.

Seek and destroy, Tenno. Uphold the living defense.

(VIDEO DEMONSTRATION OF EVENT)

OPERATION REWARDS

When you defeat one of the Fragmented Trio, you’ll acquire the event currency: Grotesque Splinters. 1-3 Grotesque Splinters are earned on normal difficulty and 3-5 on Steel Path.

Fibonacci beckons your safe return to your Vigile Jahu Gargoyle to spend your yield of Grotesque Splinters. You’ll acquire rewards like new Entrati Sigils, a Color Palette and returning rewards from events like Operation: Scarlet Spear.

New Cosmetics

  • Fibonacci Sigil
  • Fibonacci Sketch Glyph
  • Tagfer Sigil
  • Tagfer Sketch Glyph
  • Bird 3 Sigil
  • Bird 3 Sketch Glyph
  • Gargoyle’s Cry Emblem
  • New Color Palette: Cavia
  • Krios Signa

Returning Cosmetics

  • Gilded Clan Sigil
  • Glyphed Clan Sigil
  • Phased Clan Sigil
  • Prominence Wisp Totem
  • Fluctus Rahk Skin
  • The Ballroom Simulacrum

Weapons and Power

  • Ceti Lacera Blueprint
  • Basmu Blueprint
  • Stance Forma Blueprint
  • Trials/Eidolon Arcanes

Not all rewards are warranted by Fibonacci’s hand (or fin...). This is a communal effort, Tenno. Each feed to the Gargoyle strengthens the community, resulting in the new Krios Signa debuting from the Void into your Arsenal. If the community goal is met (viewable in the Events panel), the Signa can be purchased from the Vigile Jahu Gargoyle Vendor!

The Vendor store will be open until February 15, 2024. 

SCORING AND FEEDING

Trophies earned are determined by whether your clan fully feeds your Vigile Jahu Gargoyle with Cursed Murmur Energy before each Weekly Reset (Monday at 0 UTC). 

Terracotta is one full feed, Bronze is two full feeds, Silver is three full feeds, and Gold is four full feeds. One full charge depends on the size of your Clan. A full charge for a Ghost Clan is two of each Curse, with Shadow Clans needing six of each Curse, Storm will need ten, Mountain thirty and Moon at one hundred of each Curse. 

The chart below annotates the total number of Curses required that are needed to feed your Gargoyle fully over the duration of the event.

CLAN TIER

GHOST

SHADOW

STORM

MOUNTAIN

MOON

Terracotta

6 (2x each Curse)

18 (6x each Curse)

30 (10x each Curse)

90 (30x each Curse)

300 (100x each Curse)

Bronze

12 (4x each Curse)

36 (12x each Curse)

60 (20x each Curse)

180 (60x each Curse)

600 (200x each Curse)

Silver

18 (6x each Curse)

54 (18x each Curse)

90 (30x each Curse)

270 (90x each Curse)

900 (300x each Curse)

Gold

24 (8x each Curse)

72 (24x each Curse)

120 (40x each Curse)

360 (120x each Curse)

1200 (400x each Curse)

TL;DR: 

  1. Once the Vigile Jahu Gargoyle is constructed in the Dojo, Clans will fully feed it with Cursed Murmur Energy from the Effervo Mission to enable the living defense.
  2. Feed your Gargoyle before the weekly reset for four weeks to keep the Gargoyle fully fed and earn a trophy, depending on the number of charges added.
  3. Each full feed adds to unlocking the community reward.
  4. All Operation Rewards can be purchased from the Vigile Jahu Gargoyle for Grotesque Splinters.

THE MURMUR THREAT

Operation_Gargoyles Cry_Oporation_Fight_3840x2160 (1).png

On the rare occasions when Murmur fragments assemble themselves into a whole, the result is a monstrous and potent entity. It may manifest in three different forms: The Fragmented Suzerain, The Fragmented Zelator and The Fragmented Anchorite

Together, as heralds of the Indifference, they tether down the Strands of Khra which their bizarre master must travel.


EDIT 12/19/2023:  We've identified an issue where you Clans are unable to progress the event if a Clan Rank decrease occurs. To address this, we have temporarily disabled the ability to decrease Clan Rank until the end of the Operation. For more, you can read the PSA: Clan Rank Decrease Disabled for Operation: Gargoyle's Cry for further updates and details.

EDIT 1/05/2024: The Murmur Telemetry Chorus has been successfully connected. With it, the Krios Signa has been unlocked for 1 Grotesque Splinter. You'll have until February 15, 2024, to pick up this new cosmetic! Remember, the event continues for Clans until January 15, 2 p.m. ET. Keep contributing Curses until then to achieve the next Trophy!

I missed Scarlet Spear, so seeing this appear made my month.

How many Grotesque Splinters drop per mission? I thought only 1 dropped at first, but then I got several in a SP version.

Scarlet Spear was when I maxed all of my major arcanes (energize, grace, etc). This by far the easiest time you'll ever have for arcanes. Go for it!

To be fair, does anyone really believe Sigils, Palettes, and Glyphs are what players want?

The only thing worth noting in the event is the new head cosmetic. 

It's a fair point but I was commenting on the misinformation.  There are new items to purchase for the event. 

I wasn't trying to discuss the quality of the new items.  :)

Stop doing this, it's awful. 

 

The Void Angel mechanic is also... confusing. So you need to defeat them to keep the curse? Then why call it a bonus? It's convoluted and unrewarding on a mission that already feels like it drags itself too long in the first phase making it also feel somewhat unrewarding. If it's a bonus, then add a bonus (besides the default kill reward which can be done elsewhere anyway, and we could use some voca instead).

Arcanes are cool but it feels like they are used to shift the public perception away from how it offers nothing new besides cosmetics, which most being glyphs and such make the event feel cheap (which already feels cheap when it re-uses a lot of content, and should've been released on day 1 of the update). The boss fight is already, plenty of flaws but some nice things, but everything you strap on to it feels cheap and forced to drag it on, it ruins the initial good feeling it had and it's such a shame to see it go that way, stop sabotaging yourself, please.

Could we have a better explanation of this part in particular? Where exactly will we find this mission, is it just there in navigation? What are those "Cursed Murmur Energy"? Are they drops that fall from this enemy? And where exactly are we going to find these enemies inside the mission? Sorry, but this explanation was really very confusing due to the excessive terminologies that are simply dropped one after the other and never explained.

I see a small problem in all this, the building requirements of the gargoyle can be steep for clans like mine, that are not so active ( very few people online / day ) and are mountain. Sure we could lower the level of the clan but it's a legacy clan from the alpha.

Cannot this kind of events be adjusted to take into consideration the average amount of active players in a clan ? It makes me want to give up on it .... and i shouldn't be dissuaded from playing a community event nor given a reminder to leave a legacy clan.

Hope this reaches the devs

Pretty straightforward if you ask me. Go to Effervo node, kill the boss, feed the gargoyle with the drop

It might look like so in hindsight if you already have done the mission, but absolutely none of what you said is inferable from reading that text.
