Halls of Ascension Guide

Use this guide when the halls of ascension mission comes up on nightwave :)

Halls of Ascension

The Halls of Ascension, also known as The Seven Principles, are special rooms found on Lua which contain hidden puzzles and obstacle courses that lead to a secret treasure room with a guaranteed room-specific Drift Mod waiting to be collected accessible via a portal.

Agility Test

Once in this room players will see a giant organ, with a door on the ceiling far above it. In order to open the door players must perform the following actions:

• The first button is located above the archway. Shoot it and the puzzle will activate. Two tubes will light up green and start emitting the organ sound.
  
• Enter the left tube and wait until you are launched upwards. Once launched a button on the left wall will activate and you need to shoot it, then land on the newly opened tube.
  
• After getting launched from the tube, another button will activate on the right side. Shoot the button to open 3 tubes on the right.
  
• Enter one of the 3 tubes, and 2 buttons in the back will activate. Shoot both buttons to activate another tube on the right.
  
• Enter the tube and launch yourself to the upper floor. Activate the first button on the upper floor.
  
• Enter the opened tube, then activate the second button after getting launched. The final tubes will open.
  
• The tube you need to enter has a green rim. Getting launched from the correct tube opens the door in the ceiling. You will need to double jump after getting launched from one of the final tubes to enter the portal room, since it is out of reach even through parkour.

THE FASTEST AND BEST WAY TO DO THIS ROOM IS TO USE TITANIA OR TITANIA PRIME

Collaboration Test

This room is best completed with 4 players. However, it is possible to do solo with the use of Operator and summons

• Step on the pad by the entrance. This pad must be held down by a player or Operator.
  
• Another player (or Operator in focus form, walking form doesn't work) must step on the new pad that was released – One method of performing this solo would be to place your Warframe on the new pad and to run back to the first pad with your operator.
  
• Step on the pads on the 4 corners of the center vault. Each corner will open a small entrance where there are 2 pads to step on.
  
• Once all 4 corners (8 pads) are activated, the bottom of the center room will open. Enter.
  
• Inside the center room, there will be 4 pressure pads that players must stay on until the gate is fully opened. These pads can be activated by summons.
  
• The portal will be in the final room

This is the list of frames you should bring for this test:

• Loki / Loki Prime = Decoy ability
  
• Chroma / Chroma Prime = Effigy ability
  
• Saryn / Saryn Prime = Molt ability

All of these frames with the mentioned abilities create clones of themselves which can be used to stand on the plates

This test rewards Coaction Drift

Cunning Test

This room is the room with the Security Eye mini-boss from The Second Dream. In this room, the player must shoot the cap off the left and right water pipes, clearing the flow of water. Once water flows freely, the center will glow golden and the player must step on it to activate the test.

• The fight is identical to the one from The Second Dream, with the objective being to trick the Security Eye into destroying the exposed sides of the pillars using its wave attack.
  
• Everytime a pillar is destroyed, the Security Eye will spin in the middle of the room, releasing projectiles that either deal explosive damage, or leave behind lingering miasma clouds that damage everything that walks through.
  
• All four pillars must be destroyed to defeat the Eye. Once the Eye is defeated, an opening will appear in the center of the room that will lead to the portal.

This test rewards Cunning Drift

Endurance Test

This test is best completed in a group of 4, but can be done solo using the Operator, the right warframe or with the help of Specters and/or Restores. In this room, there will be a glowing platform in the middle. Once a player steps on it, lasers will activate centering on a single point. One player must stand in the middle of the lasers on the platform "enduring the hits" until the glass pillar on the side completely fills with water, causing the platform to fall away and teleport you to the reward room. The lasers on the side can be shot to reduce the incoming damage and make surviving the test easier. In addition, the area immediately around the platform has an invisible nullifier field, preventing the use of most buffs or abilities, but not all. The amount of time left is indicated by a column that fills up with water over time. Once the column is full after ~2 minutes, the test is complete.

• The middle laser can be blocked by shooting the lantern on the ceiling— it will collapse and block the laser.
  
• The two lasers on the first-floor sides can be blocked by standing near the rising block.
  
• The circle of lasers can be disabled temporarily by damaging their backs.
  
• The two lasers on the second-floor sides can be disabled temporarily by damaging the back of them.

If u have warframes such as Inaros or Nidus with any Arcane Grace rank this should be really easy to finish

Power Test

Players will see a set of stairs which goes underground in the middle of the room, locked by a cover. In order to unlock it players will need to find 4 spheres on the walls and stand near them to feed them energy until they are fully charged. Each sphere requires 40 energy to be fully charged. A sphere will stop draining energy and glow when charged. When all 4 spheres are charged, the stairs will become unlocked.

• This test is timed. Spheres will revert to their uncharged state if too much time passes.
  
• The spheres can charge with a Tenno Operator's Void energy, which actually regenerates faster than it is drained

This test rewards Power Drift

Speed Test

This room is initially composed of a large main hallway, with two looping hallways hidden off to the sides. The center of the main hallway has a room which contains two Thumper Death Orbs, along with multiple Laser Plates firing at odd angles. Shoot one of the plates in the upper part of this room just above the central doorways, and a small pillar in the middle of the room will start to rise toward a grate on the roof, starting the test. Two doors will open on the sides just outside the Thumper/Laser room on opposite sides, leading to the hidden looping hallways. Go through one of the opened side doors, and step on the pressure plate in front of some gold doors. Get ready to move as soon as the doors open.

The best and fastest way to finish this test is by using Nezha or Wukong

Stealth Test

This test takes place in a large, long hallway. In this room, there will be a glowing golden pad. After activating it, the player must make it to the other side of the room on the glowing pad to access the portal. The player must also avoid all blue lasers while going to the other side; touching a blue laser instantly fails the test. This test cannot be restarted.

• Lingering in the hallways to the side of the room for more than a few seconds will result in special black Rollers attacking the player, failing the test.
  
• In a group of 2 or more players, one player can start the test when the other player is at the end, easily completing the test.
  
• Leaving your Warframe at the other side of the room and using your Operator to activate the glowing pad will activate the portal as well, which the
  
• Warframe will fall through. A very easy way to complete the test.
  The blue lasers cannot detect Limbo in his Rift Plane.

Agility Test: Wukong's "Cloudwalk" ability is quite useful to navigate back up the pipe organ.
Collaboration Test: You can solo this by using your frame and operator two hold two buttons, and also summon syndicate specters, Clem clones, Stalker specters, and/or Railjack On Call crew members to "Hold Position" on the other two.
Endurance Test: Any frame (OTHER than Excalibur Umbra) can easily pass solo. Stand on the activation button, bullet jump straight up to escape the nullifaction field, then switch to operator and void dash to the side. The frame will land back on the button, and is completely invulnerable while you're using your operator.

Hey, question about the agility test. The second "story", where the second set of buttons are has locked rooms, the map shows loot in all but only one is open. Does anyone know how to open the rest?

The Adaptation mod completely nullifies the endurance test laser damage. Mine worked and it isn’t even max rank. Not sure why since it’s not supposed to be 100% damage reduction but I’ll take it.
