How to get Silphsela in Warframe

Warframe has been around for a decade and counting, thanks to ongoing content updates and a free-to-play model that keeps players busy gathering gear and resources to overcome the Grineer menace. Some of those resources are harder to find than others. Here is our guide on how to get Silphsela in Warframe.

Warframe: how to get Silphsela

Silphsela is a precious resource used for crafting. If you’ve spent a lot of time playing the game recently, you may already have some in your inventory but not recall quite where you found it.

To get Silphsela in Warframe, seek out the Sun Silph plant. It resembles a sunflower and glows with bright light. You’ll know it when you see it, but finding the remote locations where it grows can prove quite the challenge.

The Sun Silph plant is exclusive to the Duviri region. You’ll find it in that region’s westernmost areas, growing low to the ground. Once you do locate the plant, just walk up to it and harvest the Silphsela, the same way you might acquire more common resources. You can even use double-drop boosters to increase the quantity you receive and spare yourself some tedious foraging.

Silphsela is a recent addition to Warframe, added as part of The Duviri Paradox. Digital Extremes announced The Duviri Paradox in March, and shared details about the expansion at that time. The content finally became available in late April, adding a host of new objectives to the already expansive game. The new resource is especially noteworthy because you need Silphsela to build the Sun & Moon, a brutal twin blade weapon favored by Teshin Dax.

You unlock the blueprint for the weapon after clearing The Duviri Paradox. Along with a healthy amount of Kovnik, Rune Marrow, and Lamentus, the recipe to craft Sun & Moon requires a total of 45 Silphsela.

Warframe is available now on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
