How to acquire helminth cyst?

[(XBOX)Magnesium 360]

I'm still new and have yet to obtain my first kubrow. However, one of my main goals is to get a helminth kubrow. I read you need to drain a helminth cyst(fully formed) into a kubrow egg. And I read you obtain a kubrow egg from the intro quest for kubrows. So I was gonna save my first egg. But where would I acquire the helminth cyst.

if a nidus is in game with you it can infect you to start the cyst

To get a cyst is simple. One must touch another player who has a fully grown cyst on them.

Think it has to be in a mission, not sure about dojo's or relays.

(More info here: http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Helminth)

Would advise ya to read the wiki whenever ya want to find something out, it has lots of information :D

Another method, that takes longer, is to obtain Nidus and open the infested door on the back of the Orbiter. That door can only open with Nidus or a frame that has a fully grown cyst. Inside the room, you can give Nidus the cyst.

OMG! I just saw ... what looks like... you can infest your ship. So freaking cool. Does the infection have any negative effects to you, your warframe or your ship? And can all ships get infected?

[Urlan]

Doing Public matches with a non-infected warframe, roaming around and touching infected warframes in Maroo's Bazaar or Dojo instances will also infect your warframe. If you are seeking out a Helminth Charger, just wait around in such situations and you will get infected.

Stand next to Nidus.

As the Wiki link tells you, Nidus needs to first sit in the chair to get a Cyst,
also he apparently can get cured same as any other Frame.

Honestly, just queue into Sanctuary Onslaught a couple of times with a frame that hasn't been inoculated, and you'll probably get a cyst fairly quickly. At least that was my experience; it certainly gave me the opportunity to innoculate everything over time. :)

Are you sure on that one? I know the infection won't spread on relays, so I've always assumed you couldn't get it at Maroo's either. But I admit I've never actually tried, and Maroo's is enough of an oddity when it comes to relays anyway, so I could also see it being an exception.

It's a good habit to chck post dates, you are responding to a 6 years old topic, and the people you are adressing
seem to have stopped playing, or at least stopped visiting the forums, over 2 years ago :P

Huh... you are right.

Though now I have other questions, like why this showed up in my "New Unread" page for the forums... (Hence why I didn't bother checking dates!)
