How to unlock the Hive Five! achievement in Warframe - Definitive Guide

Hive missions are exclusive to the infested planet Eris, which is unlocked by defeated Tyl Regor on Titania, Uranus.

WarframeSaviour of UranusThe Saviour of Uranus achievement in Warframe worth 49 pointsKill the boss in the Uranus region and get to extraction.


There are five Hive missions on Eris, but for the purpose of this achievement, you can complete any mission five times. Assuming you have to start from the beginning of Eris, complete Acanth, Brugia, and Cyath. Your choice now is to either play Lepis (28-30) or continue on through Cosis to reach Candiru (26-28). I found Candiru significantly easier than Lepis.

Hive missions involve taking down a number of hives. Spoiler alert. When you reach a hive, you must destroy tumor nodes before you are able to damage the hive. Upon destruction, it will unleash a status effect on the rest of the map. Each hive will do one of three things:
- Freezing the ship, which halves your shields
- Toxin clouds, which appear as a red haze and do decent damage as long as you stand inside
- Magnetic fields that strip your energy, which appear as a different red field.
By the end of the mission, all three will be present. There's also the chance that some areas will be exposed to space, where you'll take constant damage.

As you'll be facing infested, the best weapons to take will be Slash, Electricity, Toxin, and Heat to make Slash/Corrosive/Heat. If you can only take one of those elements, Corrosive is better for the big enemies.

I've found that for most people, it's only really solo capable with a well built tank and at least one heavy hitting weapon. I did it at what I considered a minimum co-op with Nyx Prime and Dread, and a friend with Rhino Prime and Galatine, all level 30 with double capacity.

As a reminder, please use boosting sessions, not solution comments, to look for others wanting to get the achievement.

Uh, I just noticed I got progress with this achievement. That means the hive infestation mission just under the starting mission counts for this. I'm actually at work so I can't check which one it is, but it counts. I didn't go to either of the ones you mentioned. Just went one south and stopped for the night.

I only mentioned two of them in the solution as they were the easiest ones to complete, but there are five altogether: Candiru, Lepis, Psoro, Sporid, and Viver. I only mentioned the first two as when I was playing through and arguably a bit underleveled, Candiru and Lepis were easier, where Viver was a sharp difficulty spike.

I'll check back on the game in a bit, it could be that Sporid's considered much easier now and could make the description a little shorter.

After the latest update - the mentioned locations are gone from Eris (maybe they appear when I unlock more of it).

According to Wikia - http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Hive - there is only one place for Hive missions at the moment - Eris/Naeglar.

The first mission on Eris is a hive infestation mission. During the patient zero quest you have to complete multiple missions on eris that will appear as hive infestation missions. The eidolon plains update has unfortunately made this and the 3 sortie missions achievement be buggy however. Currently not able to unlock either of these.

Update: to access the planet Eris you have to complete the Eris Junction on the planet Pluto, not defeating Tyl Regor on Uranus. Allthough Tyl Regor is in the path of getting to Eris, as defeating him will get you to Neptune, that will get you to Pluto.
To be able to complete the Eris Junction on Pluto, you will have to progressed a fair bit into the games main story.

Patient zero gave me 3 hive missions out of 4 towards my progress. Somehow I had 1 mission done just playing the game. After the quest I just finished the first mission on Eris and achievement popped.

I just ran through Naeglar 5 times because the Patient Zero reward didn't seem worth the effort and the Infested are just an annoying knock-off of the Flood. I wouldn't sweat the hive missions too much. At MR 8 with a tanked-up Rhino, I got through them solo without coming close to dying.

I don't see anything else online about Patient Zero removing hive missions from Eris, so I'm not sure what to tell you. Hive missions still appear as alerts, albeit at level 35-38, so if you see one or have a way to monitor an alert feed like https://twitter.com/wfalertsxbox it should still be possible.

The other solution is great.
One little Thing to add.
Before finishing of the 3 Hives, destroy all 15 tumor nodes then the 3 Hives to shorten the time with negative effects on.

Thanks for this solution. Destroying all tumor nodes first and then getting rid of the hives made this a lot easier. I did all five missions solo with a Rhino Prime, Tonkor, Sonicor, and Broken War. The biggest pain is finding the tumor nodes.

There is only 1 Hive mission in the game, other than alerts, syndicate missions and Quests. You will need to complete the mission on Eris Naeglar 5 times. You are tasked with destroying 3 Hives. Each hive has 5 tumors you also need to destroy before you can damage the Hive itself. Each tumor is in the same “room” as the hive. Each hive you destroy adds a new hazard in the form of an orange mist. After destroying all 3 you need to extract.
