Warframe Operation Gargoyle's Cry details, schedule, rewards, and more

2023 for Warframe ends with a bang and a "Whisper," complete with a shiny new update, a Primed Resurgence event, and a new Operation to go with it. Operations are limited-time events in Warframe that generally involve exclusive rewards and community leaderboards with Clan-bound accolades.

Dubbed "Gargoyle's Cry," the latest Operation is the first original Operation to roll out since Orphix Venom in 2020. Both in terms of lore and gameplay, this Operation will be tied to late-game content introduced with the Whispers in The Wall update.

How does it work?

The Gist of Warframe's Operation: Gargoyle's Cry is to beat The Fragmented boss as many times as you need to advance the Operation score and claim rewards.

The mission progresses like a regular The Fragmented assassination, except for one twist. A dormant Void Angel will be awaiting you somewhere in the laboratory, marked as a side-objective.

Note that this also makes this Warframe event a good occasion to farm Voidplume Pinions and Zariman Arcanes.

Beating either variant of The Fragmented trio will drop one of three Curses of Knowledge: Curse of Seeing, Curse of Hearing, and Curse of Knowing.

• The type of the Curse is related to the variant of The Fragmented you are facing.
• Beating the boss on Steel Path will drop two Curses instead of one.
• Your clan must collectively get 30 Curses of each type and feed it to the Gargoyle to unlock the Krios Signa as a claimable reward.

In addition to a Curse, you will also receive a Grotesque Splinter, the main currency for claiming the event rewards.

• You receive two Grotesque Splinters for beating The Fragmented on Steel Path.
• Unveiling and beating the secret variant, The Fragmented One, will reward you with two Curses of each type as well as 6x Grotesque Splinters.
