The Hidden Messages riddle quest is one of the more unique in Warframe. It blends together immersive elements of the lore with the gameplay mechanics and also gives the player little teases of ancient myth. This quest is pretty unique, but to take on its riddles three, you must know where to be. To start the Hidden Messages riddle quest, complete the Pluto/Sedna Junction. The next phase will be unlocked when you return to your Codex and speak with Ordis.
The Hidden Messages riddle is split into three different phases. Each one will present the player with a short poem, prompting the player to “solve” the riddle by completing a mission node as their answer to the prompt. The player must then answer the Hidden Messages riddle by completing the correct mission node.
Digital Extremes crafted much of the lore in Warframe around various elements of human mythology, and these riddles are even more of that influence. Some knowledge of myth and legends can help you figure out what nodes to complete, but our guide spells out the answers for you if you don’t want to work your noodle.
