Cephalon Squared: A Warframe Podcast

The grind in Warframe - how much is too much, and how does it compare to other games? We discuss this, as wellas how we feel it impacts monetisation and replayability. Beginer topic: Playing Solo; Advanced topic: Sentinels, part 2.

Khora. She loves cats. And there's a damned good reason why you should love cats too. (Spoiler: it's because Khora's cat is amazing.) Listen to find out why.

SPOILERS. I shouldn't need to say this, but I totally need to say this. SPOILERS. Anyway, that aside, this is a long one, but in my humble opinion, it's one of our best. There is so much awesome lore in these quests that it was exciting just to PLAN for this episode, let alone record it. So listen, and letus know your thoughts, but again - SPOILERS.

Well... Another day, another Devstream. Yep - another AWESOME Devstream full of AWESOME things! This was quite the exciting one actually - if you look at what was shown off, it probablywasn't the "busiest" Devstream, but hot damn - DE dropped some smashing artwork on us and we are lost for words. Beginner topic this week: modding for beginners Advanced topic: the combo meter

Ivara, the stealthy huntress. Asmuch as she is a pain in the butt to get, she's worth the pain for the benefits she provides. Havea listen and find out why we enjoy her when we need to not be noticed.

With no Devstream this week, the Cephalons decided to throw a party - a modding party! Yes,it's a modding Special this week, with a focus on early to mid game to help players out there better understand mods. More than that,though, advanced players can get involved in the discussion - are mods getting out of hand? In addition, the guys have something to say about the future of Cephlaon Squared - g...

Inaros, the Sandframe, is as unkillable as a pile of sand. Go on - try to kill a pile of sand, I'll wait. ... Couldn't do it, could you? Anyway,listen to find out why we think Inaros is a great addition to yourstable of must-have Warframes.

Episode 43 coincides with the final few days of Nightwave Series 1, so we decided to have a chat about the Tactical Alert, and whether or not we thought this was a fitting end to the Series. We may or may not also get into a little speculation about what Series 2 may bring... For this week's tips, we cover Affinity (beginner) and the Kubrow breeds (advanced).

Hildryn,the Shield Maiden is easily as tough as she looks. If you've got what it takes to do the grind for her blueprint (the rest of her components are pretty easily acquired), then she's worth it. Have a listen to find out why.

After a few weeks of awesome interviews, we're back with another Devstream! DE tried to cram as much as possible into this one, so there's quite a lot to cover. Of course, in addition to this major discussion, we also provide beginner (Mastery Tests) and Advanced (Adaptation mod) tips and this week, we also launch a new segment - Dr Cephalon!

Hydroid. Water boy. Pirateframe. Whatever you want to call him, just know that he loves water. Here, the Cephalons discuss Hydroid's abilities and what makes him tick. Is he any good? Listen to find out our thoughts.

While there was no Devstrea this week, there was no shortage of news! Still, Cephalons Greg and Lucas manage to have a good chat about Umbral Forma and the Umbral/Sacrificial mods and where this seems to suggest the game might be headed. It's not as straightforward as one might initially think! Beginner topic: trading. Advanced topic: Focus schools part 4 - Zenurik.

Who likes horror? I like horror! Harrow, the Dark Priest himself, also likes horror. At least, I expect he does. This week, we take a look at Harrow, his Abilities, and his augments, and hopefully shine a bit of light onto what is ultimately a complex Warframe.
