TheRopalolystis a flying Eidolon boss in Warframe, accessible through an Assassination node on Jupiter. This boss drops the blueprints needed to craft the Warframe Wisp, so you’ll probably be fighting the Ropalolyst a few times to gather all the necessary blueprints.
Like a lot of boss fights in Warframe, the Ropalolyst can be difficult until you know what you’re doing, then it’s just a matter of executing the correct strategy. Below, we’ll take a look at how to beat the Ropalolyst, including some recommended Warframes and weapons to bring to the fight.
Best Loadout For The Ropalolyst
The Ropalolyst only takes damage from specific mechanics throughout the fight, meaning mostdamage-dealing Warframe abilities won’t be that helpful. Because of this, we recommend bringing atanky Warframe that can survive the Ropalolyst’s bigger attacks, likeHildryn,Revenant, orInaros.
Warframes with healing abilitiescan also be used, as long as you have high enough health and armor to not be one-shot by the Ropalolyst’s laser attacks.
For your weapon, anything that cantarget specific points on the bosswill work, like sniper rifles. Essentially,any weapon that you would bring to an Eidolon Huntwill work well here. The Ropalolyst isweak to Radiation damage, so be sure to mod whichever weapon you pick for this element.
Some weapons to consider are theRubicoorVectis, or their Prime versions if you have them. Alternatively, if you have theVoidrig Necramech, its built-in Exalted Weapon, theArquebex, is amazing for this fight.
You won’t need to use your Operator too much for this fight, but using a decent Amp will help.
How To Beat The Ropalolyst
The fight against the Ropalolyst will take place in a large, open arena, withthree energy cylindersplaced to the north, east, and west. As you approach one of these cylinders, using thewires that connect the two platforms, the Ropalolyst will fly to it and begin sending electrical charges down the wires.
Jump over these, using each of the four wires as necessary. When you reach the platform, the boss willcharge and then fire a laser at you. Avoid this bystanding behind the cylinder, which will incidentally charge it up.
Now, head back to the main platform anduse your Operator’s weapon to deplete the Ropalolyst’s shield. With its shield down, you can nowjump close to the boss, at which point you will see the prompt’Grab Ropalolyst'. Do this togain control of the boss, thendirect it towards the charged-up cylinder.
This will cause the Ropalolyst toland in the center platform. Now, you will need toshoot the small metal canisters on its back. You only need to take outone of these canisters, so focus your fire on either the left or right one.
Once the canister is destroyed,the Ropalolyst will fall down. Next, quicklymove to the control panel near the entrance to the arena, and interact with itfire the Terran Charger, which will strike the Ropalolyst with a massive laser.
If you don’t activate the laser fast enough, the Ropalolyst will get back up, and you’ll have to destroy one of its canisters again to bring it back down.
You’ll now need torepeat this process two more times, using the two remaining energy cylinders.
On the third time the Ropalolyst goes down, itswhole body will become vulnerableinstead of just the canisters on its back. Once you reduce the boss’s health to zero, activate the laser for the third time, and the Ropalolyst will be defeated.
