Protea Specter is a new warframe added in the Deadlock Protocol update for Warframe. To get this wireframe, you need to craft the Xoris weapon and defeat Protea. If you are wondering how to beat Protea Specter in Warframe, we will go over the steps below.
This boss fight is extremely grumpy and requires knowledge of special weapon tricks. Not knowing them makes it almost impossible to kill Protea.
How to Beat Protea Specter in Warframe
Once you reach the New Deal mission of the Deadlock Protocol event, Nef Anyo will give you a blueprint for the new Xoris weapon. Xoris is a glaive weapon of Corpus origin, which is the only weapon capable of killing Protea Spectre.
Once you've collected all three parts for Xoris, build it, equip it, and enter the Protea Specter arena. The boss fight against Protea Specter takes place in two phases, but you will only actually encounter Protea in the second phase.
Protea Phase 1
In this first phase, you'll fight an army of hostile monsters, which you can kill by charging up and throwing Xoris at them. It's a good way to practice your throws before the fight, as this special move is your key to victory in the next phase.
Here's what you need to do to prepare:
- Mouse wheel on PC
- Right stick on PS4 / Xbox
Xoris will explode on contact with the enemy. Once you kill three enemies using this special move, Protea Specter will spawn and the second phase will begin.
Protea Phase 2
Protea Specter has four health bars, which basically means you have to kill this boss four times in a row. To complicate matters, each health bar is protected by a shield gauge, which you must first deplete.
You can only damage Protea by using the secondary fire attack on Xoris, as described above. Failure to do so will cause Protea to restore all health gauges and all your efforts will be wasted.
Additionally, each time you deplete one of his life bars, Protea spawns clones, which you must kill before you can attack Protea again.
When all four health bars are depleted, you will be rewarded with the Protea Specter Warframe Blueprint.
