How to Start the Jade Shadows Quest in Warframe

The Jade Shadows quest is the latest mission that Warframe players can take on and get a more in-depth look at the Stalker character. There are a few things players should know before tackling it, so here is how to start the Jade Shadows quest in Warframe.

How to Begin the Jade Shadows Quest in Warframe

Warframe players can start the Jade Shadows quest by interacting with the Codex and selecting the Jade Shadows mission from the Quests tab. The Codex station is located to the left of the Navigation panel at the front of your ship.

Like previous quests, players must have completed The New War main storyline. That is the only prerequisite that players must have before they can begin the Jade Shadows. Newer players will have to go through a series of quests before they can even tackle The New War.

Selecting the Jade Shadows quest will warn players that there will be scenes of trauma related to motherhood during the questline. Players will then have to type SHADOWS to confirm before the missions can begin.

Players should know that the entire Jade Shadows questline will take about 30-40 minutes to complete, depending on skill and skipping cutscenes. The missions are nothing different than regular Warframe missions, but does feature a snippet of the new Ascension game type.

Jade Shadows Quest Rewards in Warframe

Once completed, players will receive a mail from Hunhow with various rewards. Players can check their mail by selecting Communication then Inbox from the pause menu.

Players will receive the Jade Warframe blueprint, Stalker’s Lair Captura, and three Orbiter decorations: Alone Portrait, Protector Portrait, and United Portrait. The Jade Warframe blueprint can also be obtained through spending Vestigial Motes at Ordis from the Larunda Relay in Mercury for players who cannot access the quest yet.
