Starting Nightwave:

After a brief cut-scene, players will be brought into a reconstructed crime scene in first-person view inside the market in Cetus. We will need to inspect 5 pieces of evidence and memorize (or screencapture) a clue from each.

Note

It is important to note each player will have a differentset of evidence which is randomly assigned for each player from a pool of possible evidence. Nevertheless, the locations of these clues will be same, but what the clues are might be different in your playthrough. If you see [brakets] around a word it means this is a variable based on the player.

Inspect Dead Ostron Man

1. Inspect the Ayatan Eye - Remember the [Symbol]
2. Inspect the Ostron [Weapon] - Remember what the [Weapon] is / looks like.
3. Inspect Corpus Data Log - Remember of [whom] profile picture is of
4. Inspect Burned Ostron Note - Remember from [whom] is author of the note
5. Inspect the Dencrypted Message of the Datapad - Remember the [Highlighted Keyword]

Here's an example of the notes I made for my playthrough

After inspecting all 5 peices of evidence you will prompted to inspect the Dead Ostron Man again. At this point you will need to farm 10 resource unique resources called "Cephalites Resonance" before being able to progress any further in your investigation.

These Cephalites are little white lights that spawn randomly in missions and open world areas (except-void fissure missions) Nora will tell you when they spawn. But the cephalites will start turning enemies around them to glass. Breaking the glass nodes covering these enemies will cause them to become vulnerable and destroying them will have a chance to drop Resonance. As stated, the player will need 10 to progress, but cannot carry more than 20 Cephalite Resonances in their inventory.

Once at least 10 Cephalite Resonances have been collected return to the Dead Ostron Man again. The player will be teleported into the the "Weave" a set islands where a mysterious voice will start asking them questions. Players will need to (short hop) jump onto platform corresponding to the clues they have gathered. Note: Players will not be able to Bullet Jump in the wave.

Be careful if you fail to correctly jump on the correct clue, or fall off the map you will be ejected from the wave and the 10 CephalitesResonance will have been consumed (will have to farm another 10 again). There's a 60 second timer starts right away. (ignore the dialogue focus on the quiz!)

Once again you are brought a second crime scene.

It is important to note each player will have a differentset of evidence which is randomly assigned for each player from a pool of possible evidence. Nevertheless, the locations of these clues will be same, but what the clues are might be different in your playthrough. If you see [brakets] around a word it means this is a variable based on the player.

Part 5

My final notice:

It is important to note each player will have a differentset of evidence which is randomly assigned for each player from a pool of possible evidence. Nevertheless, the locations of these clues will be same, but what the clues are might be different in your playthrough. If you see [brakets] around a word it means this is a variable based on the player.

1. Inspect Orokin Legem - Remember the [Emblem at the Center]
2. Inspect the Weave Condult - Remember the [Blue Pattern]
3. Inspect Ceremonial Weapon - Remember the [type of weapon it is]
4. Inspect Glass Shard Remember the [image & color]
5. Inspect the Ancient Shackles- Remember the [number ]

After inspecting all 5 pieces of evidence you will prompted to inspect the Statue of Nihil

Make sure you have at least 5 Cephalite Resonances

Go into the Weave and answer the questions as before.

After answering the quiz you will finally confront Nihil in a Boss Fight

Inside the Nihil's final weave, the Tenno will be standing on several glass platforms with the Glass Maker at the center. Nihil has two phases, a shielded phase and a vulnerable phase. Nihil will attack the Tenno in two ways: by throwing Glass Shards which freeze and slow their Warframe or by swinging the large sword called the Vitrica. Nihil will telegraphs when he is about about to attack with Vitrica, with a long wind up animation. He will either go for a vertical or horizontal swing. Be weary while it is not difficult to evade his sword swing, should the hit land it will mean instant death for the Tenno.

It should be the player does not access to their skills or weapons during this boss fight. Instead, the player must dodge, then pick up the Glass Shards that Nihil throws when they hit the platform.

In Nihil's shielded phase, his life bar will be greyed out. However, the player will notice floating glass crystals floating on each platform. Find the Crystal that looks most White. As Nihil throws the shards at the player, pick up the shards quickly and then throw the shard at White Crystal. This will "free" the prisoner in the shard and they will make Nihil temporary vulnerable.

In Nihil's vunerable phase, the glass shard can be thrown at Nihil instead. It will take 3 hits to deplete one 1/3 of his overall health each time. After which, Nihil will regenerate his shields and more crystals will appear.

Do the same, 3 times to finish off Nihil

Upon defeating Nihil you will be rewarded with a Blueprint in which to craft Nihil's weapon the Vitrica for yourself, as well as a special ship decorations with much lore implications as to the fate of Nihil.

If you are having trouble with the boss fight take a look at my video of my playthrough:

Here's a clip of the ship decoration you get as part of the reward for completing the Glass Maker.

Having trapped the Glass Maker, you can pay him a little visit once a while.
