Now, let’s go over how to complete Warframe’s Glassmaker Act 2 step-by-step.

STEP 1 – Acquire Cephalite Resonance

Cephalite Resonance is unique resource that certain enemies drop during Nightwave: Series 3 Glassmaker.

And 5 pieces of Cephalite Resonance are required to accept Glassmaker Act 2 (or any other acts you have yet to complete).

That is to say, 5 Cephalic Resonance will be used immediately upon accepting an Act.

So, make sure you are ready to solve the mystery ahead before accepting the Act.

❓ How do you acquire Cephalite Resonance?

You can acquire Cephalite Resonance by taking on most quests along the star chart on pretty much any planet.

During a quest, Nora (the in-game Nightwave radio host) will appear on screen to tell you that Resonance has been spotted nearby.

Unique enemies covered in glass will appear.
Defeat these enemies by hitting the glass shard on their body first to make them vulnerable.
Then finish them off by any means in order to potentially collect Cephalite Resonance.

Keep in mind, you may only hold up to 20 Cephalite Resonance at one time.
