Nidus Prime Relic Sources
The hardest part to farm currently is Chassis Blueprint. It is Rare in all 6 of its relics, so any of them is an equal source: 10.00% per player at Radiant, or 34.39% when four players open the same relic. It currently sells for 25p on warframe.market.
Every relic is vaulted and none is in the current Varzia rotation, so trade for them or check your inventory.

How To Farm Nidus Prime
Optimal approach
- Go for the Chassis Blueprint first. Getting the required prime part takes the most runs at the given refinement making it the hardest to farm. Even then the part is not guaranteed (Pray to RNGesus!).
- Best Relic to focus on is any of its 6 Rare relics, such as Axi N12, Lith N7 or Lith N12 (This Prime is currently vaulted: Trade with a player for the relics or wait for Prime Resurgence Rotation).
- With all four players opening the same relic at Radiant, you have a 34.39% chance per run vs 10.00% when running solo. So opening the same relic as a squad is always better.
- After that: Neuroptics Blueprint from Neo S19 (20.00% per-player at Radiant). Repeat farming and opening the relic until you have everything you need.
Refinement and radshares
- Use Radiant (100 Traces) on any of its 6 Rare relics, such as Axi N12, Lith N7 or Lith N12 while going for the Chassis Blueprint. For squad odds, all four players must open the same relic at Radiant. This increases your chances of getting the part.
- As per the game odds, you can expect roughly 2 Radshare runs for 50% odds of getting the required prime part, compared with about 7 solo runs.
- Keep relics Intact for Common rewards. Radiant gives the highest chance for Uncommon and Rare rewards; use the refinement listed for each part in the farming plan. Never open Axi relics for rare parts solo, it's not worth it.

Warframe Abilities
Virulence
Rupture the ground with a damaging fungal growth that steals energy from each enemy it strikes. For every five enemies hit, the Infestation mutates, multiplying its destructive force.
Larva
Spawn an Infested pod that erupts with tendrils, latches onto nearby enemies and pulls them in. Enemies killed while held have a chance of generating a Mutation stack.
Parasitic Link
Bind to a target with parasitic link. When cast on an ally, both the host and Nidus have their Ability Strength and Weapon Damage increased. Linked enemies take some of the damage inflicted on Nidus.
Ravenous
Gluttonous maggots swarm nearby enemies, feasting until they are hit with Virulence and burst with Infestation. The maggots benefit from Mutation and each enemy hit adds to the Mutation stack.
