However, the virus can only be spread during missions, in a Clan Dojo, or in a player's Orbiter, and cannot be spread in Relays. The now-infected Warframes can also spread the virus to other Warframes the same way as Nidus. After 24 hours, the same cyst will appear on the newly infected Warframe. Players will know if they have been infected when they hear an 'injection' sound, and are briefly surrounded by a light, brown cloud. However, Nidus can still receive the cyst from another infected player.Īs long as Nidus is infected, any Warframes that come into contact with him will also contract the Helminth Virus. The injection will only occur once, and will not happen again to additionally built Nidus. The player may drain the mature cyst while incubating a Kubrow to breed a new type of Companion, the Helminth Charger, from the Orbiter's Incubator Segment a new cyst will appear 24 hours after draining it.

The cyst will continue to grow in size until 7 days have passed, at which point it will be fully matured, as seen by the small tendrils sprouting from its surface. 24 hours after the injection, a small, pink, Infested cyst will start growing at the site of injection. This will infect him with the Helminth virus, and also 'awaken' Helminth in the Infirmary, triggering its communications to the Tenno. Should the player choose to sit on the chair (in spite of Ordis's protests), a needle will inject the left side of the Nidus' neck and will release it afterward. The Helminth room becomes accessible for the first time after obtaining a Helminth Cyst from another infected player or by equipping Nidus or Nidus Prime.Īt the center of the Helminth Infirmary is a chair that Nidus can sit on.

According to Ballas' Vitruvian, when a subject is exposed to a Helminth strain, it transforms their skin into sword-steel, as well as interlinking their internal organs into untold resilience, while at the same time preventing the same infestation from destroying their mind. It is revealed during The Sacrifice by Executor Ballas that the Helminth was created by the Orokin to convert human subjects into Infested-hybrids, giving birth to Warframes.
