Thinking Of Farming Stalker. Suggestions?

[David]

So, I am looking to attract the attention of the Stalker so I can get his weapons. Any idea what a good boss to farm is, that is easy and can be solo'd?

 

I am a Frost Prime, level 15, but I'm probably going to hit 30 tonight by the time I finish getting his BP's. Maxed Snow Globe and Avalanche, Nearly maxed Vit and Shield, Power Range and Duration. 30 Paris, 30 Dual Vipers, and 30 Dual Zorens (for movement).

idk he has been rarely coming ever since update 9

[BigSchmexy]

sargus ruk and phorid generally get him for me

[David]

Need names, locations and planets if at all possible. I am still not familiar with the planetary system or ever found the need to memorize it yet.

So far I've encounter him the most in group of 4 at Xini. Majority of the time it isn't me that he is targeting.

There is no place you can "look for him"  there is really nothing you can do to get him other than kill some bosses and then play as many missions as it takes to for him to show up.

 

He will show up randomly in any mission in any location.  Play long enough it's only a matter of time.  The best way to maximize your chances is to run with a full group of 4 as much as possible so that if the stalker shows up for any of them you'll be there.

 

other than that it's time and luck.

You can't "farm" the stalker. Just kill every boss once and go farm xini or something since he doesn't spawn on boss maps.

One does not simply farm the Stalker. Instead, the Stalker farms you!

 

Anyhow, there only a few base rules/trends about him:

 

1) The Stalker tends to spawn more often with a low-level Warframe and/or weapons and during Nightmare missions.

 

2) The Stalker will not come after you for killing robotic bosses.

 

3) The Stalker will attack when least expected. In other words, to get him to spawn more often,you cannot have the desire to meet with him. Additionally, you will get his BP's when you don't desire them whatsoever. Reverse psychology and all...right?

I tried to farm him too. Currently I've got all his weapons built and spare bps of all his weapons. However, this is about four months after I started farming him.

Three bosses he seems to love are: J3 Golem in Jupiter (Themisto), Sgt Nef Anyo in Mars (War) and General Sargas Ruk in Saturn (can't remember the name). 

Good luck. Try running them all in a row, then playing a low level Raid or Exterminate (Hyperion & Aegaeon in Saturn, Caloris in Mercury) with low level gear that is capable of killing him (level 15-20 Loki, Ash, Excal, (I know you're running Frost Prime, but for me those three frames seemed to make easier work of Stalker), high level primary, low level melee and secondary). 
No guarantees, but you should see him minimum once every two days, once a day if you are lucky.

 

EDIT: Oh and I forgot! Void missions. Got Hate off him in a T2 Exterminate. Also, don't forget to bring Shade along if you can. When your screen starts flickering, go hug a heavy and let Shade cloak you. If you're lucky, when he spawns they'll go after him. Works even better in the Void, because enemies in a T2 can kill Stalker, especially because they zerg rush.

Best way to encounter him? Have friends and you kill bosses and go on missions together. 4x chance he appears for someone in the squad.

this logic proves true in Warframe for everything. it's why my luck with RNG is so great. 

 

it's like drugs, try it! if you legitimately don't want something, it comes easily. 

(Random Number Generators in general seem to work this way, as preposterous as it is).

1. Not necessarily true I get him regularly in fully maxed out gear as do my clan mates (we got him 6 times or so today alone in groups i was in never running low leveled gear.) 

 

2. Definitely not true i have been targeted for every boss at this point including corpus and infested bosses.

 

3. This i'll believe but it's the same as every other "hint" to finding the stalker i have heard, Trying to make a pattern out of something truly random. 

 

Kill a bunch of bosses, run missions, get lucky.  That's all you can do and nothing else really helps, I've had him come for me about bosses I haven't run in a month, in leveled gear, in new gear, in every type of mission and in every area have yet to determine any pattern based on my clan mates experiences and my own and believe me we have looked.

4) If you fight him enough times you get the triforce and then you get to play as luigi and aries comes back to life.

Put on your low level gear and he'll be slash dashing up your @$$ before you even select a mission.

How to farm stalker:

 

1. Kill boss

 

2. Do missions

 

3. Kill Stalker

 

4. Don't get BPs or get the BPs you already had

 

(Also screw your ????s)

[ExorcistEX]

met him twice yesterday...got the dread and hate...and i didnt realise I get the hate until this morning...

 

btw, i have 3 dread bp...2 weeks ago I was raging the stalker didnt drop anything (nearly 10 times and not a single thing dropped)and now I have so many dread...

[Keitaron]

Well, here comes my suggestions:

 

1. Kill General Sargas Ruk in Saturn one time

 

2. Grind M Prime on Mercury, its a level 1-2 Raid Mission

(Notes: It depends on your way of rushing/ grinding this mission, the best way i had is to open all crates/kill some grineers on your way to the artifact)

 

3. You need atleast 1-2 hours for 1 Stalker - IN MY EXPERIENCE -

(Maybe u get lucky and get him on your 2nd run)

 

Important: You need to finish the map, dont abort it, stalker can even appears right in front of the extraction point.

 

Source: Me and my friend are succesful farming him this way, in 2-3 hours farming we CAN get him about 6 times, but its all about RNG.

We started farming him since update 9.5.1, because stalker gives 100% droprate on blueprints now. I got myself all weapons now, had 1/3 weapons before 9.5.1 patch.

 

Oh and one sidenote: I had the best experience by equipping low level primary and low level melee weapons, my friend also did have low level primary and low level melee weapons, if this little sidenote can help you.

 

May the RNG God be on your side, fellow tenno!

[Erusa]

I saw him 3x yesterday...

1) He was supposed to go to a random person in a session I'm hosting, said person dc'd at the first flashes of light, then stalker moved on me and said his 3 lines.....Wrong move stalker, I was rushing a level. -Shades and watch him die-

2) He appeared again before me, twice, same mission as 1, this time I was completely solo..........Welp, he still died to Shade cheat...

The mission? it was an alert mission for Corpus Datamass. :I I was using full 30 Nova, Orthos, Paris, Hikou, and Shade and his weapon. No reason to say he appears before you with low level gear...

 

I got a hate and two more dreads there. :c

Oh and if it helps, there was a storm brewing outside our home, there was loud thunder, sudden lightnings...Almost timing Stalker's arrival.................................I actually looked behind me in fear for the next 5 hours. :c

So yeah, you don't farm Stalker, Stalker farms you. I just hope you don't get it as timely as me...where you'd feel like you're about to be farmed IRL. D:

[CaptainHugeKatana]

Kill Phorid,Ruk,Hek and Kril several times ( recommend Solo ) then play  online with squad

[AlchemistMute]

How to farm Stalker:

 

1. You don't.

[Phoenix86]

meh... i got stalker yesterday for the first time after 1 months of nothingness more or less... needless to say he dropped BP i already have...

 

i need Despair stalkeeerr!! screw you!!

 

PS: looks like he doesnt care if i'm fully 30 or not... he just fear me or dislike me, whatever

[D3ST]

Just make alotta boss runs, dosent matter if you run the same 10 times or 10 different 1 time,

when ive been farming a specific boss 20 times in a row becoz i was hunting the BPs he drops,..

he usally comes to visit me 2-4 times over the next couple of days,..

 

be paitient though, sometimes he comes after me, becoz of a boss i ran, 2 weeks ago,..

 

Easy way to deal with him is, just jump up onto somthing high, like a box or container, he cant use hes slash dash attatck or any melee attatck on you then,.....And he usally dosent even shoote at you either,..

Yesterday he went after me for a boss I killed well over 3 weeks ago.

He likes holding grudges like that.

@OT:

As they all said, farming non-mechanical bosses is the surest way to get Stalker to notice you (I hope sempai notices me today...)

[RedlineRonin]

In communist Warframe, stalker farm you.

But really, this was a hot topic after U8 and a point often looked over is that he doesn't forget about the kills. I took about a month off from playing and when I came back he would show up looking for retribution for boss kills from a month earlier. Kill a few bosses and go about accomplishing your other goals; he'll show up. Never, ever, ever discount the whole "Warframe always knows what piece, or resource, or mod you're looking for and will hold it just outside your reach" part. You have to psych it out and make it think you don't want the stalker to show up, man!

[slappy330]

He hates me for killing Golem maybe try him..
