Mirage is an entertaining Warframe, dazzling her way through the battlefield with blinding lights and booby traps. For her uniqueness, she gets her own side quest in Warframe called Hidden Messages, and can be acquired as soon as Pluto is done.

The quest is very cryptic, as is the Warframe herself, so we’ve made this guide to solve its riddles and lead you to the blueprints waiting at the end of each one. Finishing this quest will reward you with all the parts’ blueprints needed to craft her, and so let’s dive into the first one, with the riddle you get involving ancient gods.
First Riddle
Three parts, three acts, three riddles for thee –
to revive the one wielding fantasy
Ancient gods so cruel, once ruled from on high
Can you name their peak where land meets the sky?
This is the riddle you’re given, and it refers to the three parts needed to craft Mirage. Ancient gods ruled from high, the peak where land meets the sky – this leads us to Mars, and the mission Olympus, referencing Greek mythology and Olympus Mons on Mars.
Your first mission is to finish Olympus on Mars, which is a high-level extermination mission with infested enemies. Expect enemies around level 30, akin to those found on Pluto.
You’ll need to clear 65 enemies on this mission, and upon doing so, extraction will reward you with the Mirage Neuroptics Blueprint, and the second riddle delivered to your inbox.
Second Riddle
To build the one you think witty,
seek the nymph who sang oh so pretty.
She lured him in with her song and a grin,
his wife must’ve thought it a pity.
Again, in Greek mythology, Calypso was a nymph that lured Odysseus away from his wife. This refers to the mission Calypso on Saturn, which is a high-level survival mission.
This will be the hardest mission of the three.
You’ll need to survive 15 minutes here, with a high number of poisonous enemies. Enemies here are around level 30 as well, and clearing it will reward you with the Mirage Systems Blueprint, and the third and final riddle being sent to your inbox.
Third Riddle
One more act before your prize is caught.
An ancient sea creature, take a whirl or not?
Look for the monster that swallowed sailors of yore.
Make a mistake and you’re sunk. Nothing more.
The final riddle references Charybdis, who was in Greek mythology a sea monster that created whirlpools that sunk ships. Charybdis is a mission on Sedna, so this is our final destination, a Hive Sabotage mission, and the easiest one so far.
There are three sets of hives, each with five tumors; destroy all five tumors around the hive, and then destroy the hive to progress. Enemies can be practically ignored, so just focus on the hives.
Finishing this will reward you with the Mirage Chassis Blueprint, thus finishing the Hidden Messages quest.
