"The infection was released and the system would be changed... Forever" **Queue Starbucks ad** 😂 Could not have said it better
I got an ad just as I saw this... after that quote. XD
I got an HEB ad at the exact same moment
I got an USAA ad
I got the same thing lol
Dang. I wonder what ad I got now.
Remember: to prevent the infestation take control of you avoid crowded infested ships, close contact with the infested, and always use a warframe!!
You can prevent the infestation spread further, stay at your orbiter and only go out as an astral projection.
Work from home if you can.
better idea: go out with an ignis since fire damage is the most efective
@@DronesOverTheMoon wasn't Elon Musk selling one?
Yes! Wear your warframe and maintain social distance... ^^
@@uxigadur yeah but these are much more advanced versions
@@darthball2723 i got an ignis wraith, sadly a way to go for the ember primer :S :P
kind of surprised you didn't mention the dangers of Plague stars that are used to spread the infested to planets.
Sry but that are those?
@@adamezzalregal9246 it’s an event where a plague star , an asteroid or piece of debris with pre existing infestation crashes on PoE and spreads the infestation
So, little tidbit it seems you missed, but at least on PC during the Tubemen live event, it was the Tenno that coopted the Grineer cloning research to instead devise a cure for Alad V's infestation, as he managed to reach out to us in a surprising moment of independence from the Hivemind, thus curing him from being Infested since then (thus explaining why he was also willing to help us during The Second Dream).
Things like this are why I'm mildly infuriated with DE, as there were massive events that happened in the past, such as the start of the Grineer-Corpus war (that still go on) that is present in the story that new players go through, but as it stands, we have no way of going back and letting them witness first hand. Instead, you just have to look to the past to hear the stories of old vets such as myself. Sure, I'm willing to tell stories for anyone who listens... but it's just not the same as going out and experiencing it oneself.
Reverse that he helped us in the second dream first and cash in the favor we owed him to get the cure.
@@LeaderoftheFates Alad cashed in the favor from TSD when Stalker's Acolytes showed up for the first time. We had special defense missions where we had to protect Alad from hijacked proxies and the Acolytes as part of Operation: Shadow Debt, which was the first time Stalker's Acolytes made themselves known to us. Alad also paid us then with the Vulkar Wraith, asking us to 'never let anyone know of our deal'.
@@NinjaLayor Really botching that whole "never let anyone know of our deal" part lol. I get that it sucks for newcomers to miss out on limited time events that shape lore, but I think it's also kind of awesome to say you were there when it happened. As a late console Tenno, I was never part of the event where relays were lost. Sucks to not have gotten to see it go down, but cool to know it happened and that there were players there during it. Like hearing an old war story (not to be confused with the Old War).
@@VIPandalicious Look, Alad never gave me a contract, it's been a few years, and the Vulkar Wraith, while nice, isn't good enough to buy my silence for THAT long.
Probably why they nearly stopped doing events. Even the ones we're getting now (acolytes, plague star, ghouls, thermite fractures) are designed to be reoccurring.
I love how much of Warframe's DNA is found in Dark Sector, including the Technocyte being repurposed into The Infestation.
Umbral warframes are warframes with the infestation inside and have free will like Excalibur umbra but he is different cause Excalibur umbra is a dax solider in a umbral warframe
@@exaltedphoenix5486 no, umbra is different because his consciousness is retained, in other original warframes the consciousness is suppressed, made dormant, that was the intended standard, hence the primes. Thats why an umbra is the opposite,
The point of the umbra quest was to show us how 2 minds exist in one frame, in this case being umbra, we somewhat "tame" his mind, quell his anger, however you word it, and take control.
Thats why umbra is different. More importantly, depending on what type of frame youre refering to, in the case of umbra im pretty sure its not just "inside" him, he IS infested, from skin surface to his innards, mutated, morphed into a frame, using a domesticated strain.
@@exaltedphoenix5486 all the frames are essentially infested. The Orokin had already developed the infested and altered it to create warframes. Controlling the infection to create things like sword-steel skin, that coming from Ballas himself.
@@exaltedphoenix5486 all warframes are infested. Also I’m pretty sure most were Dax or over high ranking soldiers, note what Ballas says: “We took our greatest, volunteers or not, and polluted them with these cultured reagents” this doesn’t just apply to umbra, but to all of the warframes
Dark sector is just warframe before they started getting hyper advanced
Welcome to warframe
Everything is skin
"We have got an infestation. Extermination is the only option."
So sayeth the lotus.
Started thinking "Destiny didn't have this" then I remembered what Vex Milk does
Ah yes, Vex milk
Mmmm milk
What does vex milk do?
@@marbles4442 transforms anyone or anything into a vex. It's how the vex make their robotic bodies and terraform worlds. In Destiny's lore, a guardian drink some of it and it turned them into a vex. In Destiny 2 there is even an NPC who partially fell into the milk and now his arm is a vex robot arm. The community calls it vex milk but that's not it's real name, it's actually called "Radiolaria" not sure I'm spelling that correctly
Vex milk is still technically correct. Ghost calls the giant radiolaria waterfall 'a waterfall of... vex milk' during the Inverted Spire strike.
6:58
I think you mean "great Sentient _farmer,_ Hunhow"
TARINunit9
lol true i wish he'll get up from his grave at this point smack some sense into his *probably son* and become a proper boss fight......maybe at the return of raids.
@MinecraftPro15 Honestly even that is giving him too much credit. To quote myself: "I also find the reveal in the Ropalolyst boss fight utterly hilarious. Hunhow, the so called "Sentient destroyer of worlds", the king of the Sentient armada, the terror of the Origin System that even Ballas was willing to betray the Orokin to escape... Is actually just a farming droid with a really good marketing firm. No wonder he dies in a cutscene in about five seconds, his specialties are less reaping souls and more reaping corn"
"RUN!!! It's the infested!!!"
Me with explosive Silva and Aegis Prime- "MUHAHAHAHA"
The three dislikes are Vay Hek, Nef Anyo, and Ballas
salad v just did a drive-by
"Why are these guardians still talking about my infested?"
But none of them are Erra
Vay Hek would like his air back now
They all must perish
You left out the events of Plaguestar and the infested using "meteors" to spread itself. Good video overall though.
1:53 The delivery of the line "Or Perhaps..." Sounded so much like Ballas that I could have sworn there was a guest narrator
Warframe lore from Byf? Never saw this happening. Cover more this please.
Still watch this video even though I already know this Warframe topic very well cause Byf is awesome. (3,000 hours of Warframe since just after Archwing update was released)
He's got a couple other videos afaik.
I'm my clans lore nerd, I have massive segments of lore memorized. I still watch Byf's videos.
It's the same as with destiny. I already KNOW all the lore, I just wanna hear byf SAY it
@@hotlinechernobyl5157 There is a reason his nickname 'lore daddy' stuck.
Love the Ballas inspired voice over
that's just his regular voice lol
If you’re talking about the voice when watching his vitruvean, that is ballas talking.
ass game
Giga Olive no one likes a headass.
Hey Byf! When you can, cover Ordis' backstory! It's one of the more surprising bits of lore that give a character that most consider annoying some respect.
Yes!!!!
I like ordis
So is Deimos confirmed to be Mars’ moon?
Also, after the Old War, there was a nasty Infested plague that went around. Several synthesis lore entries mention it, as well as Sands of Inaros and the lore for the Mire melee weapon. And apparently Earth was already Infested during the Old War?
Deimos is one of Mar's moon IRL. If Warframe has named something else Deimos, they're going to need to explain it :D
Yes also we have mech suits now on said moon in warframe
So how wants to guess that we'll get the broken frame from this? A more infested Frame that was tossed aside but lived.
Uhh
Keep up the good work man. Your lore videos always give me chills
This is why I prefer warframes lore over destiny, it’s actually relevant and integrated well into the game. Rather than just a way to generate exotic armour 😂
Trust me, for some reason, no one in warframe cares about the lore, although everything is based on lore and well integrated people dont care about, they only care about getting a new weapon to then Max it at hydron or SO and then buy a riven for it and that's it. Btw it's not well represented either the lore, from the aspect of core gameplay, its lackluster
Helix can you edit that comment with punctuation and brush up the grammar so I can understand you?
@@tombullivant544 Ok, so basically hydron is a node on the planet sedna. It's a defense mission and is famous for providing the most XP which is viable especially when we're considering leveling. SO=Sanctuary Onslaught, facilitated by Cephalon Simaris, it's used for leveling and getting Khora's(A warframe) parts. Second line, after the fifth word, there should be the inclusion of 'it'. "By the way, it's not well represented either the lore" as in the lore is not well represented/Not to a point where it intrigues many players. I think those are the only mistakes, inform me if they're anymore remaining
@@tombullivant544 By the way, that statement of yours was a bit rude ngl
Helix I just wanted you to clarify what you meant as your punctuation and grammar made that hard. Wasn’t trying to be rude 😂
I would like to see the dark sector games infested origins linked to the orokin at some point i think seeing our normal modern day earth placed in the warframe timeline would be really interesting to see and give a better understanding of the evolution of the system
We’ve got hints at least (glave skin and Excalibur skin)
Well we got 1999 now
Dude I had NO idea you covered warframe lore. I don’t know how deep you’ve gone thus far, but I can’t wait to see you cover all of it up to date.
Ahhhhh! This video is helping me reignite my passion for the amazing space ninja I can beeee
Please do Warframe specific lore videos!! These are awesome, keep up the amazing work!
The infested has always been my favorite faction. Even more so since I got nidus. The enemies don't look very good but damn is the tech they make awesome.
Always felt like my nidus never got the love he deserved. Especially since he's one of the strongest warframes in the game. But now with Deimos coming out. I'm sure Nidus Prime isn't that far behind.
Also I'm excited as to what we get to make in this new open world. Remember folks, each new open world lets us forge items. First was Zaws second one was kitgun and moas.
Should be fun!
More infested weapons. Probably we get to "grow" guns
When SIVA is unleashed to its full potential--
Even worse nothing can control it there is no ai or person like with siva there is only hive mind
the infested would probably find a way to infect siva, then you now have infested siva.
-CFW. Magic- why not siva infested?
Please make more videos covering warframe, you do such a great job with destiny and warframe has plenty of lore to explore/explain. Either way, keep it up!
I’m still can’t believe Byf has Warframe lore. I’ll be watching everyone of these!
Warframe was a game that took a little effort to understand cause the lore is so out there but man the shit runs deep. Gets better everyday I play it.
Now we wait for The Man in the Wall or Rell lore. Nice video Byf
Welp, i'm hyped. Also crossing my fingers for a "That sounds like a you problem" set in warframe.
Hol on, you did warframe Lore videos? I was not expecting this at all.
Thank you so much byf I've been doing so much on the lore of the game making theories and not to be rude not many channels are um... very confident or clear on lore. I love your channel once again thank you.
Nothing has made me happier than finding out you do Warframe videos as well as destiny
16:14 Alad cured himself? Ik the things that showed his scar came after Patient Zero, but I thought it was the Infestation worming its way into him, not the aftermath of his Mutalist infection
Can't wait to see your video on the new war and Kahl
Gravemind anyone?
*I? I am a monument to all your sins.* - Gravemind, Halo 2
John Flamesinger “this one is machine and nerve and has it’s mind concluded. This one is flesh and faith and the more deluded.” I love H2
“Structure them to become better suited for combat” funny how the infested are the weakest enemies in the game lol.

Soon to be hard cause we're going to where the original infested strain is......Deimos or what allot of people who delve into lore The infested garden and the origin of well the warframes.
The failures of the Orokin
1 sentients
2 Infested
3 Tenno
I can see a nidus umbra/Nidus TechnoCyte strain variant with a dope quest. Heres how I would set it up:
As you are clearing your way through Eris, likely doing duty in purging the technocyte infestation that haunts those derelict corpus vessels, you notice something shifting, in the dark shadows that are in the corners you fail to recognize. Curious, you pull out your codex scanner. Aiming it at the shadow, not getting any sort of trace of it. When you return to your ship, you see something...unusual. Assuming that you have rebuilt the ancient strain of infested that Nidus Prime contains, you hear the helminth inside your ship speaking through your frame's communication signal. Drawing you to the infested room. There, it speaks to you, of a strange...thing, that it has noticed over on deimos. Something within an old, destroyed orokin tower. Your navigation system shows a new point of interest. Orokin Tower 19-27A. This, is where the quest begins.
The chattering of chargers, the groans of lepers and runners, the howls of mutualist moas and ospreys, not attacking you, strangely. They seem...calmed. by something. You enter the tower, noticing how clean it is, for being filled by the parasite. The floors may be covered in blood, but the walls retain their golden shine, as if they were never assaulted by this...thing. Nonetheless, you descend deeper, the helminth voice continuing to speak through your nidus prime that you wore inside this monolith. But, soon, you come across something truly horrifying. Deep behind an old orokin cipher, one that can only be opened by the dragon key vault on the orokin derelict ships, lies a laboratory. But not one of gold, silver and steel. Its, biomechanical to the core. Thin webbing coating a mucus test tube, vials of chitonous material, spores filling the air. And, as you search the location, you notice an old terminal. One is completely consumed by the nanites. inside, a mess of a log entry. Unable to read it, you insert your parazon into the data port, downloading the log for later use. perhaps with the vitruvian.
But as you move to exit the laboratory, you can hear it. That same...sound, from eris. Your somatic link begins to fragment, and you are pulled from your frame, as umbra did once before. Calling out, your dropship sends down umbra, charging with his skijati in hand, and sunder eye seeing a mess of larval tentacles lashing towards you. In a flash, he carves them down, as he pulls you into his own link. You, lose your nidus however. And the helminth becomes frustrated.
Time passes, and you gain new parts for a new nidus. However, when you bring the blueprint to the foundry, with all the assembled parts, you notice something...unusual. your assembled parts seem to have been corrupted by something. Instead of reading the blueprint as Nidus Prime, it shows...Nidus Mutualist. The same technocyte strain capable of taking over artificial intelligence. Ordis takes note of this, and warns against building this frame. In fact, when you build it, it doesnt even function. The neuroptics and systems are nonfunctional. Only an empty chassis. No steel in sight. Just...a chitonous shell casing. And yet, you hear a devilish voice from inside. Ballas. But, it cannot be him. He was killed by the Lotus.
Nevertheless, you cannot use this frame. So, you simply place it down in your orbiter as a decoration piece, and continue to go about your mission objectives. But, every once in a while, you may notice something off.
The odd weapon tossed about your orbiter, perhaps your Vulpaphyla is injured. Or your moa pet has gone missing. You ignore it. Until after one mission, you find that your orbiter, is broken. You can't access your foundry arsenal, relic station, anything. Not even your built in heads up display menu is working. Confused, you head down to your zariman tenno pod, to see...quite a disturbing sight. The drifter, is...quite badly maimed. And, that empty chassis you built? Its come to life.
Essentially, Flood + SIVA= Infested
Crap the darkness is already here
You think fleeing to another universe will allow you to escape me
Well yes but actualy yes
"Greetings Tenno" hit me a little too hard. I'm curious if the lore of Warframe is too fragile for My Name Is Byf to want to cover. It was nice to hear tho. 3 years later. Lol
Now hearing this, gives me Flood/SIVA vibes
Watched the Warframe 1999 trailer and was again interested in the temchnocyte. Only now it dawns on me that the Warframe are like resident evil style super soldiers.
Yes loredaddy byf has returned to the origin system
This guy is the VaatVidya of Warframe, big fan
Finally warframe lore videos are a thing.
You know whats funny is for reveals as big as the second dream, war within, sacrifice, new war. Usually you'd have to pay for an expansion
Why am I just seeing this now. I didn't know you did war frame lore.
I miss these so much 😍😍
LORE DADDY!
Knock knock Savathûn guess who come for that hive ass
That explains why ballas sounds like nidus is his perfect project his *demi god*. In nidus prime trailer.
In summary, it is like SIVA, but much more advanced.
Its like if SIVA and the Flood had a horrific space baby.
SIVA if it had sentience, will and agency.
Consume
Enhance
Replicate
Siva can be controled and flood wants to be test for worthy races for mantel od respobility infests want to infest and asimilete nothing more
Has anyone else wondered how umbra grabbed the operator in the sacrifice cutscenes or just me
My name is byf and desiege collab is needed
@MyNameIsByf could you PLEASE do a video on New War and the Void Angels?
So... robot flood?
Well yes but actualy yes
On the surface level, more or less. Below surface level, no.
I am new to the game and these warframes alwas seems a bit strange to me. Like organic. Not a suit. I thought it was a simple design joice but here we are. Great story
I honestly thought Byf was mainly a destiny lore person, til now.
I waited soo long for you to cover that
So a Warframe is a person that was infested by the helminth strain that eventually went insane and we the Tenno control these infested sword-steel carcasses with our minds to fight just about everything???
Basically. Except prime frames are those people who got infected, and normal frames are just mass produced frames.
Alad V was cured by us in tubeman of regor after players choose his side on pc and it became canon
hu? could you refine your grammar so that your text is actually legible?
ZSSD Founder he literally just got one letter wrong. Calm down
@@thatrandomsquirrel2924 no the structure was a, "sorry what"? (be us - because) I was able to read just fine.
Yes. It was an old event that we choose to cure Salad V and it was made canon. I personally would choose Regor instead, imagine that sexy sexy voice become a mainstay in the story quest... Sigh.
@@zssdfounder4607 thanks for pointing that out
Can't say this is the next video I was expecting, but it is a welcome surprise.
Always figured byf would be an Oberon type a guy
TIL: The infested are more malicious SIVA
Im starting to get into technocyte virus lore
Do you ever plan to cover or talk about the new war quest line?
I don't think all of them were Dax. In fact In think the Orokin desperate to survive took any one with at least some combat experience or physical fortitude required for the transformation to make Warframes some of them may be civilians or even prisoners.
WARFRAME LORE POGGERS
Abridge of the Warframe lore so far
Solar system is dying and is been ruled by a religious empire who serve seven emperors called the 7, who have the great talent for making bad decisions and trial by green death ray, they send a Warship called the Tenn0 on a experiment to try out void jumping basically travelling faster then the speed of light into void space which is a giant living dimension oh and there are children onboard.
Orokin: "What can go wrong"
Something goes wrong, Ships lost in the void.
anyways back to important things, System is dying Creates robots to terraform a new solar system so they can live there, Task fails successfully as Bio robots has done their task but seeing how history will repeat itself if they gave it to their masters they rebel and become the sentients. (they also can't have children anymore either cause of void radiation oh yeah).
Orokin, System, Sentients, War, ok so they're at war Sentients and are losing badly as basically nothings working
Orokin: activate the defence systems
Sentients: Hey defence systems want to rebel?
Defence: Sure why not
Orokin: Nani!?!?
Anyways in a panic The Orokin decide to create a Bio nanite weapon that would eat anything as to starve out the sentients nothing will go wrong.......it goes wrong.....again the plague is doing its job just the problem is, its doing it to everyone.
Next time they create a pseudo version which is more controlled and put into the best of the best you guess it you name it, this pseudo strain later is called the helmith a more tamed version compared to the other strain they send them out to fight but they fail.
Anyways the war has slowed down but the sentients are winning by even more of land slide and basically the Orokin a screwed until out of nowhere they find the derelict ship the Tenn0 Everything is basically dead except for the children who now have space magic.
At first they are abandoned because they were basically rejects, they later decide to look after them but then a lady got her faced scorched cause one kid freaked out when she touched them, now the Orokin are calling them demons you know what if you want to know the rest go and do it yourself.
So, in other words it's the flood? Single mind? Gravemind? Lol
I love the hive,flood, and infested I don't know why
Oh! Dear fuck! It's Byf! I forgot you were doing Warframe content again I thought you were DSiege!
Just started warframe. Yes
What what what byf making warframe lore?
The heart still beats....
new tileset pretty cool
Hey byf do you watch xayl stuff because you both of you do lore and i was wondering
This video was more of a trailer than anything else lol
Man, can we just get a crossover event between Destiny and Warframe so the dumbass "Warframe vs Destiny" circle jerk can finally die for good? Plus I think it'd be neat to have a Warframe weapon as an exotic in Destiny. Maybe in Warframe some frames could get skins that make them look like the classes of Destiny. I love both these games and really hate seeing the communities fight.
would never happen
I know that this would never happen, but it would be really, and I mean really cool to see both guardians and tenno in the same world for a brief period.
I could just picture a scenario where the guardians become aware of the tennos presences, at first zavala is really worried about the possibility of a new enemy that thay have to face and know nothing about them, and ikora is both fascinated and fearful about some of the reports that has come in about there odd abilities, there speed, and there near perfect performance in dispatching (kabol, vex, fallen, scorn, hive, taken), until both the tenno and the guardians start communicating, and eventually, start working together, and thay have too, because a new but old threat has come from the tennos dimension (the sentients) and it will take the combined forces of both tenno and the vanguard to combat this threat.
@@Sheed96 I'm well aware, but thanks for being a Debby downer
@@nickt5985 ok good
@@hunterpalmer3183 fanfiction
Honestly, at this point you should just do a Warframe tslayp.
Damn dope video, whats your name though?
Mars is really unlucky, isn't it?
Demons on Phobos.
Infested on Deimos.
Hive on Mars itself...
i never realized the charger was a grineer
Remember when Cascade Bombs were a thing?
The orokin had created 3 of the faction (at least that i know of i didn t play the new war).
You did warframe you beautiful man ❤ thank you my theory is conformed I am meant to be here
Hmm YEP definitely the flood
Six different strains that I know of so far and there adding another woot seriously doe when they adding doctor tegus he’s responsible for a third of greniir lore so far biiig story player
Sounds like SIVA, and what it did to the Iron Lords.
So thr infested are like the beast from homeworld cataclysm
Mmm yes nidus spread the infection to all the nooblets. I do hope with Heart of Deimos we get more insight into the nidus Warframe “Unlike Glast Gambit” and i hope it explains to what a primed nidus would be.
Prime nidus dont make any sens we created firs nidus in glass gambit
I know it is a nitpick, but what about the proto armor Excalibur and glaive? They states they were pre orokin hinting not only that they were expirementing with samples they found but the fact there is still the original strain out there that everything came from.
P.S. Yes I know its a Easter egg for people that played the other game but it doesn't stop it from being relevant information.
P.P.S. Love your channel.
I'm still waiting for the warframe TSLAYP
MOOOORE!!!!
"bio mechanical nanites that infect host bodies altar their biology and make them better suited for combat" ...sounds familiar... *cough* SIVA *cough*
Sounds like the FLOOD!!!
i will support the opinion that this isnt hydroid prime trailer
Wait, you do lore other than destiny? You really are the lore daddy, aren't you?
I love this!
Damn so the dax soldiers failed but the tenno children succeeded huh
And this children is how the Spartan II Program was found 🙂
