SANCTUARY ONSLAUGHT 
“Hunter, you have proven your dedication to the cause. It is time to enlighten you, to show you what we have built together. It is time to enter the Sanctuary.

In the simulated universe of the Sanctuary, my data-immortals have fought each other countless times. Through this violence, I have studied and documented their true character. But my study cannot be complete without the power of the Tenno, the most powerful specimen in the system  — you. Your duty in this experiment is to kill as many specimens as efficiently as possible. In this chaos, the true nature of these creatures will be revealed… as will yours.”

– Cephalon Simaris

PREREQUISITES

• Must complete The New Strange quest.

WHERE TO GO

• Talk to Cephalon Simaris at his Sanctuary in any Relay OR select Sanctuary Onslaught in the Syndicate World State Window tab.

NEW TERMS

• ZONES: the equivalent of a ‘Wave’, ‘Round’, etc! This is a new Endless mode, thus, new terminology!
• DATA-CONDUITS: Portals to the simulated combat!
• (X) EFFICIENCY: the means to keep a Conduit open!

WHAT TO DO

• Enter the Conduit to the Sanctuary and maintain Efficiency against increasingly difficult Specimens for 2.5 minutes.
• Each Specimen you kill attributes to your overall Efficiency, with Eximus Specimens attributing more.
• Efficiency Stimulus’ are spawned per zone that each grant 10% Efficiency – use them wisely!
• Each zone after the first triggers a 45 second Focus Boost that scales in multiplier (MAX of 16x) – kill Specimens as fast as you can!
• When a zone is complete, Simaris will open a Data-Conduit to a new and harder zone within his Sanctuary.

ELITE SANCTUARY ONSLAUGHT (HARD MODE)
Welcome to Simaris’ true stress test.

• Each week Simaris simulates a predetermined sequence of tilesets and Elite Specimens. This Onslaught is not for the leisurely, as Specimens are stronger and Simaris’ rewards for your Elite data mimic your efforts. Fight relentlessly and repeatedly until your fingers bleed – this please Simaris.

TIPS
Simaris seeks data on the Elite using his own rules. This is his simulation, after all, and his rules are:

• No Gear! The Gear wheel, Specters, and Emotes are disabled in Sanctuary Onslaught and Elite. Strictly no Dancing in Simaris’ world.
• Simaris demands only Rank 30 Warframes can compete in the Sanctuary.
• An overuse of Warframe abilities can skew Simaris’ data. You may find he has different tolerance levels against ultimates than first abilities. You may never even encounter this rule, but if you do, know that it is only temporary.
• Each Conduit entered/Zone advanced removes current buffs, active Warframe abilities, combo multipliers, and resets Energy to the respective base level. Harder enemies from a baseline!
• The amount of Efficiency Stimulus that spawn decreases the deeper you go into the Sanctuary. Simaris is (somewhat) kind and will always spawn at least 1.
• Increase your pace! The deeper you go into the Sanctuary the faster your Efficiency drops.
• Specimens do not drop real-world things like Mods/Resources in Simaris’ Sanctuary. Rewards certainly do exist, though. Focus Boons and Reward Tables (below) aplenty! We are also going to introduce a series of rewards once this launch is out – there will be more to come!
• Leaderboards are available based on overall score for both Sanctuary Onslaught and Elite Sanctuary Onslaught that Simaris will reset weekly.

REWARDS
Rewards are given per 2 successful zones in an AABC rotation in both Sanctuary Onslaught and Elite Sanctuary Onslaught.

• 2 Zones = Rotation A
• 4 Zones = Rotation A
• 6 Zones = Rotation B
• 8 Zones = Rotation C
