Understanding Alchemy Game Mode
The Alchemy game mode is an endless mission type where you’retasked with creating a new element by combining two primary elements in a special spherical structure called the Crucible.
The primary elements includecold, heat, electricity, and toxin, which are dropped as pickups when killing enemies. These elements must be collected and thrown at the Crucible to initiate the mixing process.
When the Crucible is filled with two element types, the conversion process begins, and two new gauges:Conversion Progressgauge andPressuregauge pop on the left-hand side of your HUD.
Additionally, the gameplay loop now changes whereseveral yellow markers pop up on your screen, indicating distress pipes.
You must pay attention to both the Conversion Progress gauge and Pressure gauge and shoot the marked pipes to release the pressure. When the Conversion Progress gauge reaches 100%, the rotation is completed.
To farm Tennokai mods, you must rinse and repeat this process until the fourth rotation. Continuing to play after the fourth rotation pits you against challenging enemies, who further test your Warframe skills.
