For you raid virgins, Law of Retribution (LoR for short) is a 4 - 8 player trial where you chase down Vay Hek through a series a missions that are significantly more difficult than the missions found in the starchart. Each mission features unique mechanics, mission modifiers and puzzles for the players to work together to complete.

Nightmare LOR is much harder than normal mode which is why we encourage raid virgins to join us on normal runs so that they will have more experience in the raid itself before joining us on Nightmare runs.

Nightmare Mode features more modifiers such as :

• Unable to use Ciphers for hacking
  
• Making 3 mistakes in hacking will require the player to restart the hack again
  
• Hacking is timed
  
• Energy Drain on Pads
  
• Presence of Disruptor Drones (which Nullifies Warframe Abilities)
  
• Limitation of 2 of the same Warframe in the raid

and other modifiers that are specific to the stages (seen in the other parts below)

Nightmare Mode also has a special cutscene at the end of the raid

This Guide is Updated for The War Within Update 19.4.1

There are some basic guidelines or rules to follow when raiding. You do not have to follow them, however, it will make the raid much more difficult and longer to complete.

• Do not kill enemies in the first 2 stages as the EV Trinity needs enemies to supply the team with energy. You can kill enemies in the 3rd stage for the bomb carrier to spawn.
  
• Help to hack consoles and have initiative to stand on pads.
  
• Don't skip Cutscenes (unless speedrunning)
  
• If you are assigned a role, try to stay as your assigned role and help others when they need it.
  
• Most importantly, if u don't understand anything about the raid, ask!

These doors requires a player on each pad for the door to open. The same thing applies on the other side so that all players can go through.
If you had already gone through the door, be considerate and stand on the pads for others so that no one will be stuck behind.

\
To destroy the injectors, you will need Tritium Batteries.
2 players will hack the consoles next to the battery dispenser and the assigned battery carrier will pick it up and charge it with energy.

If the carrier runs out of energy, the battery will drop and will explode if it is not picked up on time.
Note : The Battery Carrier and EV should stay close together to prevent bomb from dropping. Use Energy Pads when necessary.


There are 4 Injectors to destroy in the order shown in the map. At the injectors, players will find 4 consoles to hack and expose the injector while the battery carrier charges the battery to 100%.
The consoles are relatively easy to find as they are connected by a orange pipeline from the injector.

Time the hack properly as the Injector will reset if it gets exposed for too long without being destroyed.

Once the battery is charged and the Injector is vulnerable, the carrier drops the battery and repeat the process again for the rest of the injectors.

• Toxin Gas that drains players' health

• Pads will drain energy however, running out of energy will not deactivate the pads
  
• Toxin Gas is stronger
  
• Tritium Battery explodes in a larger radius and does much more damage to players
  
• Presence of Disruptor Drones (which Nullifies Warframe Abilities) - Destroying these drones first is a high priority!

In the first part of the second stage, players will need to complete a puzzle that requires players to stand on pads that corresponds to the one shown on the big screen.

1) Players will first need to find and hack an active console located at the corners of the map.


2) The big screen will then show a symbol and a player has to stand on the pad that corresponds to it.


3) Once a player is on the pad, stay still (no jumping, moving out of pad) and wait for your other teammates to get on a pad each.
Note : Crowd Control is very important. Make sure to lockdown the map with CC Abilties!
Note 2 : Killing Bombards, Napalms, Scorpions and Shield Lancers also helps with preventing falling off pads.

4) Repeat till all players are on a pad. The big screen will signal once the puzzle is completed.


Stepping off a pad or stepping on the wrong pad will restart the puzzle and all players on the pads will be lethally damaged with Electricity.

None

• Pads will drain energy however, running out of energy will not deactivate the pads.
  
• Presence of Disruptor Drones (which Nullifies Warframe Abilities) - Destroying these drones first is a high priority.

map from warframe.wikia.com

- Electrified rails are marked by bolded lines
- Pressure Plates/Pads to deactivate electricity marked by circles

Players need to move a Fomorian Core to extraction while disabling electrified rails that damage the Core on contact.
Note : There should be only ONE Driver. Preferably the EV.

To disable the electrified rails, players will need to stand on pads and once again, not move until the Core driver says its clear.

Grustrag Three[warframe.wikia.com] will spawn at the last area of the map. Killing them first will help the driver from being attacked.

None

**IMPORTANT**

• If the Fomorian Core gets damaged by the electrifed rails, the mission will FAIL
  
• Doors to the next area will no longer open automatically until someone hacks the console for it
  
• Mines will spawn on the rail and can be destroyed to prevent damage to the core
  
• Pads will drain energy however, running out of energy will not deactivate the pads.
  
• Presence of Disruptor Drones (which Nullifies Warframe Abilities) - Destroying these drones first is a high priority.

- Mines that spawn on the rails

map from warframe.wikia.com

- Pressure Plates/Pads that link to the Power Plants

Destory the 5 power plants powering Vay Hek's protective field that is making him invulnerable.

1) The power plants are destroyed in the order of RED > GREEN > YELLOW > BLUE > PINK
Note : There is no set order to the destruction of the power plants. Just personal preference ;)

2) To destroy the power plants, you need to obtain Tritium Batteries again but this time from enemies that carry it (marked in HUD).

3) The carrier will once again charge the battery but the charge and energy rate is increased.

4) The power plant doors will need to be opened by standing on the 2 pads that are connected to the power plant. Stay on the pads until the carrier has left the power plant.


5) The carrier will wait until the battery is charged at 100% and then drop the charged battery inside the power plant.

Repeat till all 5 power plants are destroyed.

6) Kill Vay Hek. Why are these fools still breathing my air?! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!

Note : The Grineer can use the consoles that charge the Balor Fomorian's weapon, and will be sped up multiplicatively if more consoles are hacked (Located in the middle). If the ship fires, the squad will be killed and the power plants will be extinguished, restarting the entire process.

Note : To allow the Battery to spawn, reducing the amount of Crowd-Control Abilities such as Rhino's Stomp, Banshee's Sound Quake, Vauban Bastille etc, and killing the enemies will assist and help the raid to progress quicker.

None

• Consoles that charge the Fomorian's weapon are spread out
  
• Vay Hek spawns Disruptor Drones instead of Propaganda Drones
  
• Presence of Disruptor Drones (which Nullifies Warframe Abilities) - Destroying these drones first is a high priority.
  
• Pads will drain energy however, running out of energy will not deactivate the pads.
  
• Final Cutscene :)

• Enemy Radar is Optional for EV
  
• EV Trinity, Bless Trinity, CC Frame/s and Bomb Carrier

Stage 1 : Injector Sabotage

1. Hack the 2 consoles to get battery and Carry picks it up. EV needs to EV like crazy. CC Entire Map
   
2. Head to ONE of four rooms on the map. Stand on Pads to open door. Be a polite person and keep the door open for your future play buddies. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
   
3. Hack 4 Yellow Lit up consoles that connects to the big injector. EV needs to EV like crazy. CC Entire Map
   
4. Wait till Battery is charged to 100% AND wait till the injector is vulnerable. Make sure not to run as carrier too. Then you can drop the bomb. You may shoot the bomb, as long as you and your play buddies are far enough. Very far away.
   
5. Repeat until all 4 rooms are clear

Stage 2 : Puzzle

1. Wait till minimum 4 people connect. You'll fail the mission if you start the objective with only 3 or less people. You can use this time wisely to practice waiting for your future wife as she 'gets ready'.
   
2. Once you head into the big room, EV needs to EV like crazy. CC Entire Map, hack the lit up console in one of the 4 corners of the map.
   
3. Big Screen will show a symbol and you will match the symbol to the 8 capsules that have symbols and stand on the pad that match the big symbol. Big Symbol = Small Symbol = Pad
   
4. A play buddy will stay on the pad and SHOULD NOT MOVE OR JUMP off the pad. Kill Bombards, Napalms, Scorpions and Shield Lancers. EV needs to EV like crazy. CC Entire Map
   
5. Repeat until all play buddies are on a pad and a sound will tell you if its clear or not

Stage 2 : Hjack

1. Once the puzzle is clear, head to the hjack section. Its like every other normal hjack mission but there is electricity on the rails, which damage the Core.
   
2. One Play Buddy should drive and it's preferable that the EV Drives (Unlimited Powah!).
   
3. 3 Rooms full of pads. 1st room has 2, Second room has 3, Last room has 6.
   
4. A Play Buddy should stand on a pad to clear the electricity. EV needs to EV like crazy. CC Entire Map
   
5. Keep going (that's what she said haha!) until you reach the third room. There's two electrified rail to clear and you want to clear one at a time. Stand on the pads closest to the electricity or look at the picture in the Stage 2 : Hjack section. This is Summary section and I don't wanna add a picture because I'm a grown adult now :) EV needs to EV like crazy. CC Entire Map
   
6. Clear the Stage. EV needs to EV like crazy. CC Entire Map

Stage 3 : Assassination

1. Wait till minimum 4 people connect. You'll fail the mission if you start the objective with only 3 or less people. You can use this time wisely to practice waiting for your future wife as she 'gets ready'... or you can search for rare crates.
   
2. Just like Stage 1, start the mission, EV needs to EV like crazy. Don't CC at all. Just Kill Enemies.
   
3. No console to get bomb, kill the guy who has the bomb. You are officially part of the anti bomb squad. Nice job. Also, EV needs to EV like crazy. Don't CC at all. Just Kill Enemies
   
4. Batter Carrier you are now a significant role again. Congratz. grabs the bomb and heads to ONE of five doors on the map. Of course, to open these doors, there are two pads you need to stand on to open these...and considering that this is a summary, just scroll up to find the picture to where the pads are located. Sigh... it's under Stage 3 : Assassination for all you lazy buggers. Also, EV needs to EV like crazy. Don't CC at all. Just Kill Enemies.
   
5. Once all 5 rooms are cleared, you can kill Vay Hek. Stay together insects! So I can crush you all!
