Warframe Follie’s Hunt Guide

Follie’s Hunt looks chaotic the first time you queue in, mostly because the mode mixes collection objectives, traps, pressure, and an invulnerable pursuer. Once you understand the flow, though, it is much more readable than it first appears.

Where to Start Follie’s Hunt

You access Follie’s Hunt by entering the painting in the main lobby of the Vesper Relay.

That makes it one of the easier update activities to reach once The Shadowgrapher is unlocked. If you still need the prerequisite, use the Shadowgrapher unlock guide.

How Follie’s Hunt Works

The official mode loop is:

  • gather paint
  • use it to complete incomplete canvases
  • avoid or fight ink-ified enemies
  • dodge traps
  • survive while an overpowering invulnerable foe hunts your squad

You can run it with up to three friends, which makes coordination much smoother.

Best Beginner Strategy

For early clears, keep the plan simple:

  1. assign one player to focus on nearby paint pickups
  2. have the rest clear safe space around canvases
  3. keep moving instead of tunneling one corner
  4. finish objectives quickly whenever the pressure ramps up

The mode punishes hesitation more than raw damage checks.

Loadout Tips for Follie’s Hunt

You do not need a hyper-specific meta build to start, but these traits help a lot:

  • strong mobility
  • quick add clear
  • enough survivability to recover from trap mistakes
  • a squad willing to stay grouped near objective zones

Treat it more like a pressure mission than a normal extermination.

What New Players Usually Do Wrong

The common mistakes are:

  • chasing kills instead of paint
  • splitting too far from the objective
  • trying to brute-force the invulnerable threat
  • ignoring the canvas objective while enemies pile up

The invulnerable hunter is there to keep the pace high. You are supposed to route around the danger, not duel it.

Final Tip

If you are wiping in Follie’s Hunt, the fix is usually not “bring more damage.” It is “complete canvases faster and stop drifting off-route.” Stay objective-focused, move as a unit, and the mode becomes much easier to control.
