Warframe offers many optional bosses, allowing you to choose whether your Tenno will take them on for potential rewards. One of these challenging foes is the Wolf of Saturn Six, who can be quite tough for lower-level players attempting to confront him solo.
Defeating this boss brings valuable loot, especially parts for the Wolf Sledge melee weapon. However, taking him down can be quite daunting if you’re not properly equipped. Here’s a guide on how to defeat this formidable opponent.
Overview of the Wolf Of Saturn Six
The Wolf of Saturn Six is a Grineer prisoner who escaped with a group of loyal followers before being recaptured. He possesses 200 base armor and 1,500 health, but this scales with his level, meaning you’ll face off against him longer than typical grunts in missions.
How To Spawn The Wolf Of Saturn Six
This boss isn’t just wandering around in missions; instead, you need Wolf Beacons to summon him. You can buy these beacons from the Nightwave Cred Offerings for 50 credits each.
These beacons are available only on select weeks as the store rotates its items. Every Monday, log in to check if Wolf Beacons are in stock. You can purchase multiple beacons at a time, which can be beneficial if you’re planning a farming session for the Wolf Sledge.
Once you have a Wolf Beacon, you can spawn the boss in designated mission types. It’s best to stick to low-level Capture missions, as they are pressure-free and can be finished quickly.
You’ll need to equip the Wolf Beacon in one of your Gear Slots in your Arsenal on the Orbiter. Once in the mission, open your gear and select the Wolf Beacon to have him appear in the area after about 15 seconds.
Recommended Equipment And Mods
When tackling the Wolf of Saturn Six, it’s crucial to use equipment that takes advantage of his weaknesses. He is vulnerable to impact and corrosive damage, with radiation and critical damage being the most effective. Focus on optimizing your builds for radiation since he has Alloy armor.
We suggest using a high-level Titania due to her Razorwing ability, which can quickly deplete the Wolf’s health. Her rapid-fire Dex Pixia is particularly effective, especially with a high status chance. For your Dex Pixia, equip the following ranked mods:
- Hornet Strike for increased damage.
- Lethal Torrent for improved fire rate and multi-shot.
- Heated Charge and Convulsion for radiation damage.
- Target Cracker for critical damage.
Make sure to have a max-level Flow mod on Titania for increased energy capacity. A strong weapon choice against this boss is the Fulmin, which you should customize for high critical and radiation damage, as it already deals enough impact damage against the Wolf.
Stormbringer and Wildfire can enhance radiation damage, and you should include a Vital Sense mod for increased critical damage. Equip a Serration mod for boosted damage and a Speed Trigger for quicker firing rate. It’s advisable to use max-level gear to increase your mod capacity, making the encounter much easier.
How To Defeat The Wolf Of Saturn Six
Your best strategy to defeat the Wolf of Saturn Six is to spawn him and engage in a public mission with others. Alternatively, consider posting in the in-game recruiting chat to find a team that’s ready for a boss fight. Many players can dispatch him in under a few minutes, allowing you to share the rewards.
Always aim for the torso when fighting the Wolf of Saturn Six. Hitting the head will deal less damage.
However, if you prefer to take on the challenge alone, spawn him in a low-level capture mission like Elion on Mercury, using the previously recommended mods and equipment for Titania and the Fulmin.
Familiarize yourself with his attacks to avoid them effectively. When up close, he may perform overhead slams or swings that you can dodge by rolling backward.
Remember that some of his slams include projectile attacks, so jumping and taking the high ground can help you evade these moves efficiently. At times, he may choose to engage you more directly.
You’ll know this is happening when he swings his hammer like a helicopter blade.
When this occurs, jump to gain elevation. Bullet glide out of his path if he charges at you. Continuously alternate between Razorwing and the Fulmin during the fight to quickly defeat the Wolf of Saturn Six but remember not to aim for the head.
Rewards And Drops From The Wolf Of Saturn Six
Once you defeat this Grineer escapee, you have a chance to obtain valuable resources like Nitain Extract and various mods. The most coveted drops include components for the Wolf Sledge:
- Wolf Sledge Blueprint
- Wolf Sledge Handle
- Wolf Sledge Motor
- Wolf Sledge Head
The Wolf Sledge is a powerful weapon, and you can have a lot of fun tossing it around like Thor’s hammer in combat.
If you prefer to avoid farming for parts, you can trade with other players in the market or Dojo for any missing Wolf Sledge components or blueprints using Platinum. Aim to spend no more than 30 Platinum on each part.
Make sure to complete the mission and extract to secure the rewards earned from the Wolf of Saturn Six.
