[@Shotgun.Philosophy]

A important detail you forgot to mention is that you need to forma Kuva Weapons 5 times because it then allows you to level the weapon to level 40 instead of the usual level 30 max. (Each Forma giving the Weapon 2 extra max level increase) which then also gives more Mastery EXP. To be clear it‘s 200 MR EXP per Forma at a max of 5 forma for a total extra 1000 MR EXP when you hit level 40.

I’m a new Warframe player and you have actually been the most helpful person in my journey so far making this game such and enjoyable experience! I watch your videos everyday and even when playing I have your videos on the laptop. It’s not just about the content. It’s the way you explain. Thank you and never stop making these guides pls.

[@MHBlacky_ENG]

Aaaaw thank you so so much for the super encouraging feedback

[@LazyFramePrime]

Couple call outs on the lich: they don’t just go away if you choose to ignore them, but you can force despawn them by downing them 3 times without stabbing. This is useful if you are not ready to stab but need them to go away. For example it’s important for defense mission if they spawned next to defense objective. While the lich won’t directly target defense objects they may damage it indirectly by attacking nearby players and some depending on their weapon can 1 shot defensive objectives instant failing the mission.

[@mistral5754]

Spawned my lich without knowing anything about the system after a seven year break from the game. Currently being taxed - but this is definitely going to make things a lot easier - thank you for the guide!

[@clarkie5599]

Using oull without knowing your order is the easiest way to get that Lich to level 5, you get the first stab correct but it literally tells you nothing. Just do your missions, to work on revealing your symbols. Stab them on the last mission before clearing the first planet (they auto upgrade if you successfully clear the planet so stab them before or you get no value). You should have 2 or almost 2 symbols uncovered by the time you finish the first planet. Then you continue doing your missions on the next planet until you get your third. Only use Oull as a placeholder for mods you do not have or are low on. OR if you happen to get the first two right on the first try, you can just stick the oull mod in the third slot to cut some time trying to figure out the third. This method lets your Lich get to at most level 3 so that you’re not struggling during the boss fight too much.

[@lookalike4805]

People will learn and Intuit these Things as they hunt more Liches.

[@Joe90h]

Nah, if you're revealing the symbols ASAP, which Oull in first blind stabs helps with, you very rarely get to rank 5. And, honestly, power creep has left rank 5 liches as barely a challenge anyway so I'd say if you're struggling with a r5 lich you might need to regroup. Your way is slower and just more offputting, and often requires doing bad mission types to try and draw the lich out of hiding after you've stripmined Earth.

[@somedude5254]

​@Joe90h bro did you even read or comprehend the comment you are responding to? If you don't know any requiems but use an oull on the first stab but fail on the second, then you gained no new information. Your thought process lacks critical thinking.

Finally fully explained how this works thank you so much !

[@Yesbutnoimnot]

Great video but have 1 tiny thing I would say, when it gets to the order of the requiem mods, do the oull first still, remember the symbol it displays as correct and put that one first, if you have a murmur then put the known mod then the oull and then the murmur mod, that is guaranteed to get you the first 2 and could even get you the kill there and then but if it doesent then you swap the oull from slot 2 to slot 3 and the murmur from slot 3 to slot 2. Phew that was a mouthful, I hope people actually understand what i just said

[@strengthinone2911]

I’m so. Goddamn. Glad. For you in this explanation about using Oull in the 1st slot. 90% of players forget to do this, which makes the hunt much longer than normal. I have literally done over 40+ Sisters of Parvos hunts, including 4 in less than 2 hours a month ago. Oull is beyond cheap, and it is an easy mod to obtain through trading. You earned this like, bro. 😅

[@astarial8a]

your guides have been really useful, even as a bet your builds help me a lot to create my own; Ty for the content Blacky

[@dragonling748]

How you should set up your requiem Mods. A proper Guide Mechanics: Level - Lichs start at level 1. Each time you fail the sequence, the lich gains a level up to a max of 5. Level 5 Liches are only good if you want to convert them as they will be stronger as part of your Railjack crew, or when they come to help you in missions. Anger - There are 5 levels of anger, Indifferent > Annoyed > Fuming > Furious > Enraged. The higher the anger, the greater the chance the lich will appear in the mission. The anger resets when the lich levels up, and increases for every acolyte you finish on the lich nodes on the planet you are meant to be on. Time - Just how dam fast you want to finish the lich. The Guide: Key Take Aways - Ignore if you want a Level 5 lich, Don’t finisher your Lich unless you have a viable new sequence. Step 1: You have a lich after you, with the weapon and element you want. Good. Run the lich missions, but do not finisher your lich until you have unlocked your first symbol. If your lich shows up, just down it 3 times and it will run away (while this happens multiple extra acolytes will spawn, which is a bonus). This keeps the Anger Meter up, so he will come back ASAP. Step 2: First finisher. You know your first Requiem symbol, so set up your Parazon the following way: “Known Requiem 1”, Oull, “Random Requiem”. This gives you a 33.3% chance of success “Known Requiem 1” in slot 1, and a 14.28% Chance for “Random Requiem”. Best Odds you can get for first finsiher Step 3: Repeat Step 1, but this time until you unlock your second Requiem “Known Requiem 2” Success in slot 1: Step 4: You are now guaranteed to finish your lich in 1 or 2 more finishers, your parazoan needs to be “Known Requiem 1”, Oull, “Known Requiem 2” This gives you the best odds of completing it in 2 (Refer to the Monty Hall problem if you want to know why). If that fails, then “Known Requiem 1”, “Known Requiem 2, Oull”. And your done. Note: If “Known Requiem 2” turns out to be “Random Requiem” from your first lich finisher, then the order is “Known Requiem 1”, “Known Requiem 2, Oull”. Failure in slot 1: Step 4: You now know “Known Requiem 1” is not in slot 1, so try the following order: “Known Requiem 2”, Oull, “Known Requiem 1”. This gives you the best chance to finish the lich (Refer to the Monty Hall problem if you want to know why). If success full in slot one, but not 3, your order is “Known Requiem 2”, “Known Requiem 1”, Oull. Failure in slot 1 twice: Step 5: This is the worst timeline Your order is: Oull, “Known Requiem 2”, “Known Requiem 1” if that fails its Oull, “Known Requiem 1”, “Known Requiem 2” (If you want to know why this order, refer to the Monty Hall problem). Following this guide, gives you the best chance of success for minimum lich finishers: First finisher: 4.76% Chance of success Second finisher: 16.67% Chance of success Third finisher: 65.43% Chance of success 4th finisher: 13.24% Chance of success Making it the easiest and fasted way fastest, because you don’t have to keep building up the Anger meter and your getting it done in 3 planets most of the time. Notes: Some people disagree with the Monty Hall problem aspects of this guide, that is valid. But the core of the guide is: Guess 1: R1,Oull,Random, Guess 2: R2, Oull, R1 --> Guess 3 if R2 was correct R2, R1, Oull, Guess 3 Oull, R2, R1 --> Guess 4 if R2 was incorrect Oull, R1, R2. And its alternative with out the Monty Hall Problem Aspects is: Guess 1: R1,Oull,Random, Guess 2: R1,Oull,Random,R2, R1, Oull --> R2, Oull, R1 Guess 3: Oull, R1, R2 --> Oull, R2, R1 Either way, the core if this guide is correct for minimising time, and the number of lich encounters, there for final level of the lich. For an explanation of why the the Monty Hall Problem is relevant (or not): Relevant when determining the location of R1 and Oull in guess 2 and beyond. For Guess 2, you guess R1 is in slot 2, because its ne natural place to put it gain information when Slot 1 is reviled the option it can't be. You there for change your guess to slot 3, and put oull in slot 2.

[@shaunwilson3059]

If a lich/sister spawns always engage and fight it, even if you dont want to stab them. only one can spawn at a time and you want the other players liches/sisters to spawn to get more murmurs/kuva (you should always engage other players liches/sisters as well). if you knock down but not stab 3 times they withdraw

[@glassknight1940]

I know the farm sucks but these weapons are so strong that it kinda is worth it if you can find the time to

[@jmmcswagger9091]

Best strat that works for me and has a chance to successfully stab the litch before even going to a 2nd planet: Do all Murmur mission up until the last one, by then you'd already revealed 2 requiem mods, and just equip oull in 1st slot and stab Litch on final mission. If the 2 revealed mods happened to be in the right slots, off to Saturn proxima you go, if not, then at least you'll more or less know and will probably get the Litch on the 2nd planet. With this strat the Litch will never go past rank 3.

[@chinkajack]

After you get a lich, (generally I) use ivara to hunt thralls -> Don't get seen, don't get hit (not your only choice - yes, Revenant exists). If your lich spawns in defence mission, use a warframe specter in set location away from the defence objective -> Lich will target the specter instead of defence objective. If you spawn a toxin lich, NEVER use warframe abilities on the lich as this will make the lich proc miasma, a poison cloud that kills everything it touches (maxed Arcane Resistance will not save you). Also a good idea is to leave off hunting liches until can easily handle lvl 90-110 enemies (rank 5 lich enemies lvl) then if mistakes are made or RNG isnt kind the Lich never becomes a problem. And the longer you play Warframe the more mods you will have for better builds. AND if you hunt your lich in a group and you have a toxin lich, its easier to solo than do this in group - I did a public run and the other player kept attacking my lich, making it proc miasma, so i couldn't actually get near my lich. I had to ask them to stop attacking my lich. For the railjack Confrontation - you need to have one of your pilot intrinsics to r5 to enter Saturn Proxima Confrontation mission. Good idea as a minimum to equip MK3 gear from clan dojo Dry Dock research. If your railjack is squishy: hide your RJ in a hollowed asteroid, or other hollow object, so its not noticed by the enemy, and do mission using Amesha archwing. Use skill #1 to keep your warframe alive, and skill #2 to slow enemy craft so you can shoot them.

[@maikocat]

I had the exact same problem with my last lich... used up my stock of void traces and no Ris. And like ringlord said, I just said "screw it" and traded for one. If you don't have the plat, maybe ask around in trade chat or Maroo's Bazaar to see if you can trade a requiem mod that you don't need for one that you do need.

[@ML7WL]

DE could make lich spawning way more fast, less of a chore, "fun" and lore accurate: In kuva syphon missions, as long as the syphon is active, humanoid non-deformed ("deformed": ghouls, nox, kuva guardian, kuva jester and manics...the thrax are somewhat in this category too) grineer units kneel down as thought they were thralls instead of dying and display the weapon above their heads. With each one displaying a different weapon of the ones already displayed. The lich will be the LAST enemy you finish. When an enemy is finished, his weapon goes back into the pool to be displayed. To avoid "crowding" that could impact cpu perfomance, only one enemy will be kneeled down for each weapon. When the syphon is destroyed they bled out. Progenitor system remains with some more sensible element alterations. Simple, fast and direct to the point. And we also get kuva/relic chance because it is a syphon mission. Bonus worldbuilding points for being accurate on what is SAID during the old blood cinematic: that they work hard so maybe they are noticed...then why a larvling, a fresh batch grineer, is spawned to be the lich instead? Also the queen only seeing the troops effort when they are right on her nose (or lack of one xD) guarding the syphon is more adequate to her fickle, vane personality. Rather than a whole operation involving the "royal" guard just to see if a larvling is adequate or not.

Tips: in order not to lvl up ur lich too fast, do ALL the lich marked mission so u get at much murmur as u can, or at least try execute ur lich after u finish 70% of the marked mission. If u manage to lvl up ur lich to lvl 4, try to get a full squad when u do the confrontation mission, most of the people in there with u can kill the lich within a min since lvl 4 lich is around a high lvl steel path acolyte. Not only that if u get a full squad when u kill 4 lich u get full amount corrupt key

I would honestly farm for ephemera first, and sort the weapon elements out later. A good Xoris build is all you need to do the Granum Voids... as well as a bunch of high level coins but if you do the Pluto Corpus ship capture you should be getting a refund on that coin for each run.

What is your favorite/most used ephemra😅

[@Otacanthus]

I always check these kuva lich guide in hopes for anything faster I can do, but there never is. It's nice with guaranteed weapons with whatever (limited) status you want. But this is definitely my least favourite grind in this entire game. I think a part of it for me is it's just slow, but not time wise, spawn wise. 4 minute Defence, 5 waves to kill 70 enemies? Extermination with random breaks where you have to guess the way forward because enemies in front hasn't spawned, and won't for another 200m. The only bearable ones are capture (when it doesn't turn into extermination) and ON PLANET sabotage (on ship easily takes more like 4 minutes). I really wish they at least had a steel path variant. I've done just litches for days now and there's like 0 enemies. I did some weapons testing after that in a normal survival and it felt like a shock how many enemies there were. Like why is the enemy density almost decreased from the star chart version of the content. It's genuine the worst part.

[@anonymjet4436]

the problem with that first stab with oull is that sometimes the game has a bug where you attempted to stab your lich once (with oull), but the game count it as a double stab. Since you only equipped oull in the first slot and no requiem mod in the second, this becomes an auto fail and make your lich stronger. I hate this very much That's why i always wait for at least 1 symbol to be revealed (and equip it on the second slot afer oull) before i even try to stab my lich for the first time, so even if the bug triggers, at least i tested a symbol whether it's in the right position

I love the timing this video come out as I'm having my Lich arc because I want to reach rank 30 to bless people Edit: I'm currently loving my Kuva Karak Obama, buuut I want to make it stronger it takes too much to kill the enemies sadly, also I might change the element to fire instead of toxin

[@MHBlacky_ENG]

Happy you liked it

GRACIAS GRAAACIASSS GRAAAAAAACIASSSSSSSSS POR QUE VÁS A HACER LA TIER LIST DE LAS ARMA KUVA, JUNTO A SUS MEJORES BUILDS ACTUALIZADAS EN 2024/2025. Y ESPERO QUE, SIN PRESIÓN ALGUNA, PUEDAS HACER LO MISMO PARA LAS ARMAS TENET, Y LUEGO LAS INFESTADAS. RESPECT TO YOU, MAN. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. 💪💪

[@yeetusskeetus6527]

I wish adding them to railjack also gives you their guns. I kinda get attached to my liches :< Cant say the same for my sisters of parvos though. >:p

[@hatii3585]

Fun thing I was doing final showdown with lich and when I was getting back to railjack, mission just failed (destroyed railjack), don't know how. Absolute peak, wasted about 30 minutes.

[@livingalife8879]

Likely the ramsleds, have 1 guard, 1 repair, 1 gunner. Give guard an aoe weapon that can kill level 100’s.

[@ThereIsNoWifi]

When I farmed my first Lich I hated it. It's now one of my favorite things to do when I'm bored. Especially with the changes to Magnetic, Mesa makes light work of them already, but now rolling a weapon to have Innate Magnetic and adding Viral Slash It's just hilarious. EDIT: Don't be afraid to guess your first set of Requiem Mods. I've guessed my lich on the first try one time, and guessed the first two correctly on the first try more than 4 times. I've only hunted 6 Liches. Say them in your head when you put them on if it flows off the tongue it could very easily be the right order.

[@ShadeAKAhayate]

*Main rule when lich hunting:* _NEVER SHOOT YOUR LICH!_ Unless you're stabbing, of course. Lich can convert up to 10 nearby enemies to thralls. Since thralls are a resource you're looking for and it's very limited (10 max -- and not in each mission type!), most of those will be your extra. With this tactic, you can unlock 2 glyphs of the code and total most of the way to the 3rd one -- all on a single planet! As for stabbing strategy, unlock the first 2 glyphs, place them and a random third one, then stab. If you miss, you'll gain significant progress. If you hit, stab again.

[@joekirby9482]

I absolutely hate farming for litches. One of the most boring elements of the game aside from deimos

[@Cultwave]

Just get the bubonico 8 forma that beast and never worry about any weapon again

[@SilverFatalis]

But it’s still unique 🎉

[@romain3135]

i like deimos :(

[@janselrichards374]

and it used to be harder to farm too

Yo, there are Lich Weapons that can be maxed... and there are Lich Weapons that HAVE TO be maxed xD

[@toxicfrenchtv2928]

Hey blacky awesome video as always, was just thinking would it be possible to make us learn about demolisher I struggle a lot about how to kill them fast and can’t find a proper tutorial

[@nathanielnizard2163]

Kuva weapons are sadly outshadowed by incarnon ones. There is powercreep in warframe, those weapons when they got released were on the hardest content and were really high end, there was peole will kuva bramma or quartakk(had imba single target). Notanymore, because most incarnon weapons are like twice better than the best kuva/tennet weapons. As of now, liches are mostly used for fast mastery and meme items.

[@somerandomkid1582]

nono lots of lich weapons are still good asf

[@thef_g0ld3n45]

​@@somerandomkid1582 kuva ogris is still the meta for arbis

[@nathanielnizard2163]

@thef_g0ld3n45 it's carried by the mod and unpolished mechanics more than by the weapon to be fair.

[@alib2374]

How do they give fast mastery?

[@nathanielnizard2163]

@@alib2374 relatively fast to get, no craft time.

[@EJtoU]

I’m here because I created a Kuva litch unintentionally and am trying to figure out how tf to beat it before it becomes too powerful for little noob me 😅

[@noobgamersland6969]

Yeah I didn't even know that once you get to rank 5 it doesn't matter if you have the correct ordered mods the lich flees to railjack anyways... Haha it was funny

[@bicharracus-denoobagood5558]

If your lich or sisters came BEFORE you know a symbol... ignore... dont try random... Sisters and Lichs will stay in the same planet...

[@NoStLinuxGaming]

HI Blacky! I see you're very busy with the guides, but I wonder whether you're going to be continuing your beginner play-through series. While it's not particularly useful for the players like me who already completed all the quests, it's still very fun to watch. :)

[@voxqu]

Can you make a kullervo syam build vid?

[@PluckyInc]

not going to lie, been stuck with my Lich for years. heck, i never even unlocked Railjack until they made them far more accessible (long after the popularity died). so i never even got past earth missions in that mode. so ontop of having to stomach the lich, stomach the OP kuva opening missions and the whole Mastermind thing, you have to hope the Lich goes into a Proxima you have access to? like christ. would not be surprised if a frame like Sevagoth had low players+helminth rates until they ran+glitched it during a Summer game fest. (where people got *two* of them). like that seems extremely convoluted for something relatively unique, but itself has lots of barriers. so you have a choice between stomaching OP Kuva opening missions and the glitchy kuva siphon missions, or people can do the casually ultra-neat/good vanilla relic opening missions (exterminate, capture). if i want to mindlessly do relic missions, i'd at least do the regular relic missions that'd actually have direct rewards+players than going matryoshka-doing.

[@sownajee5312]

nah its crazy that I was just gonna search up this same type of video, and then you uploaded

[@s1vyae]

Just when I first encountered a Kuva Larvling

[@KingConan]

Well I came across getting my first Lich last night and I already screwed up by using Rhino 😩 no idea it showed which gun I’d get…didn’t even know it gave me a gun if I kill the guy

[@DarkXander1]

My kuva lich is so strong and only spawns in 90-100lvl missions. I just keep dying over and over even with frames with damage protection abilities. As soon as i do enough damage to crack the lichs shield and it just recharges

[@dagantheterrible]

Do you have any friends who play warframe? Could also ask in recruitment.

[@DarkXander1]

@ heyy i came back to warframe last week after not playing since 2019. So all my friends have quit since them too. I managed to do it solo with mesmer skin

[@Mister57]

Khora Ensnare trivializes even the grossest Level 5 Lich. Also, bring a Spectre squad. And tailor your weapons and elements to smack them.

[@hernanipereira]

good tip: Banshee with high strength - at least 243% - then Gloom (90% slow). Use silence near Liches or Sisters and watch them helpless slowed down in their own animations. At this point, any weapon will be fine. Makes these fights trivial honestly

[@lordofminddisorders5185]

Use Hek Kuva with that setup and aim for head. Takes 80-100% of their health even at 5 Lich rank.

[@xelu8960]

The Lich can keep my tau forged shard. I don’t have time for this garbage mechanic

[@Boyosob1]

Bruh am I having a bug or what. I see no flickering after I capture. Been doing this for past 30 minutes. Am i supposed to kill the enemies fast once I get into the mission before capturing?

[@drachenaura]

Yes. 10 enemie in 60 seconds.

[@ParoParo]

Would be awesome if you could also bring attention to a little known mechanic: If you leave the lich alone, it will convert multiple other enemies into thralls. Too many less experienced players simply jump on my lich and down it immediately, slowing down the murmur process.

[@asasquatchplays7455]

I'm at 5:32-21:32, and so far, he hasn't explained kuva weapon overleveling, weapon valence fusion, element percentages, time commitments, requiem mod sequences, and proper planning with target elements. It's up to the individual player ultimately to commit to taking on a kuva lich, and they will require you to make the correct requiem sequence on your parazon, so it's important to get 2 of each requiem mod before you start. Lohk, xata, khra, ris, netra, and vome. Each of these has a phrase or poem attached to them that, when paired together, forms a poem, and one can use the revealed requiems to form a poem that makes sense to aid in finding the sequence the lich is weak to. Prepare first before you commit to getting a kuva lich.

[@technoultimategaming2999]

So I did the math, if you do the stabs correctly you can defeat a lich in 3 hits at most and 2 hits 50% of the time Also by the time I get to the last stab I have all 3 requiem mods and usually I like to replace my Oull with an actual requiem mod unless I'm missing one and don't feel like grinding it :P

[@justuscolon6203]

I’m here cause i unintentionally created a Lich and now he is at tier 5😑

[@billthehill]

Lol for some reason about 90% of the warframes i own fall under the Impact element...

[@MHBlacky_ENG]

Well, you just picked the most impactful ones :P

[@KyuubiNaruto41]

I would never recommend people buying Oulls. No joke those things drops so often I can't get rid of them just taking out liches/sisters, I have 6 atm. I do my runs the same pretty much everytime I put the Oull in the middle then the two I learned first and last.

[@PG-tk5kk]

[@sirmarrik1147]

You forgot the mention the ephemeras. I am on like my tenth electric lich

[@O14253]

for ephemeras its just rng, so theres no specific way to target farm

[@sirmarrik1147]

Getting one is rng, but you can pick what on you want by using a warframe that matches the element of the ephemera. Side note if you convert linchs with ephemeras you can trade them

[@playhard719]

Hmm this video would have been useful if it played in game after killing the Kuva queen, because as new player I accidently killed a Litch with Gauss, now I have sH*ty Kuva weapon with Impact damage, and I can't get rid of it without wasting my time.

[@n1kl051]

What's great ab this game is you never waste time, you always gain something unless you fail a mission (and even then you at least get mastery or some loot in specific missions). Consider this, if anything, some extra MR, you will also get creds and resources by getting to it

[@1TheVelociraptor]

blacky missed it, but during valence fusion you can choose which element you want to keep if its a different element as for time, yeah, sadly you're boned

[@silletokat]

my tactic is like that too. first one allways oull . and for example if second is khra and third is fass. if i parazon and learn that khra is not the second one change the order to khra oull and fass. if new parazon khra is not the true one, then new order is oull fass khra ,or fass oull khra (if i detect the third one before last parazon i change the oull) and if i want kuva lich (with a good weapon with a nice percentage element ) on my railjack i level up him to level 5
