Primal. Insatiable. Grendel Prime devours all who oppose him.
Grendel Prime is currently vaulted. It moved into the vault on August 26, 2025. You can still acquire relics through player trading and Prime Resurgence windows, then run coordinated Radiant shares for better rare-part odds.

Warframe Abilities
Feast
Swallow enemies whole and store them in Grendel's gut. Hold to vomit out stored enemies, covering them in toxic bile.
Nourish
Regenerate health as Grendel absorbs nourishment from enemies in his gut. While he digests, enemies that attack or are attacked by Grendel suffer <DT_VIRAL_COLOR>Viral Damage and energy sources provide more energy. These buffs extend to squad mates.
Pulverize
Grendel curls into a ball. He heals over time as he rolls, knocking over anyone in his path. Jumping slams Grendel into the ground and generates a damaging shockwave.
Regurgitate
Violently puke out a bile soaked enemy from Grendel's gut, turning the consumed into a toxic projectile. Nearby enemies are slowed and have their armor dissolved by the bile.

The Primed variants offer improved stats over the base versions, and most importantly better armor which is what we call truly end-game.

7 Source RelicsGrendel Prime Farming Strategy and Radshare Tips
Optimal Approach:
- Go for the Systems Blueprint first. It has the lowest item drop rate in the Grendel Prime set and will be the hardest to farm, when comparing to other parts.
- Best relic to focus: Axi G11 (currently vaulted - trade with a player for the relic or wait for Prime Resurgence access).
- In full radiant relic squad, you have a 34.39% chance per run vs 10.00% when running solo.
- After that: Blueprint from Lith G8 (10.00% per-player for Radiant).
Refinement Tips:
- Use Radiant (100 Traces) on Axi G11 while going for the Systems Blueprint; always run radshares in groups.
- At current rates, you can expect roughly 2 Radshare runs for 50% odds for the required prime part, compared with about 7 solo runs.
- Run Intact/Exceptional Relics only when farming for common or uncommon primes (these are great for ducat farming), use Void Traces for the relics with hard to farm parts. Especially Axi Relics.
