Why Should You Complete Nightwave: Series Glassmaker Act 3?
Completing a Nightwave act will give you a decent chunk of Nightwave Standing.
Collecting Nightwave Standing will increase your Nightwave Standing Rank.
Usually, 10,000 points of Nightwave Standing will increase your rank.
Each Rank increase will give you a reward. These rewards are usually desirable, uncommon, rare, or (at the very least) useful items such as cosmetics or mods.
And the best part? The rewards are entirely free.
How To Solve Nightwave Glassmaker Act 3
Now, let’s go over how to complete Warframe’s Glassmaker Act 3 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 3 (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.
STEP 2 – Accept Glassmaker Act 3 Quest On Your Ship
Walk to the Nightwave console on your ship.
The console is default-located directly behind you and to the right if you are located at the front of your ship.
Then, select Glassmaker Act 3 on the bottom right portion of the screen.
Act 3 will start automatically the first time you interact with the console.
STEP 3 – Find the Five Clues
Now, you must find all five clues before you are able to move ahead.
Each clue is randomly placed throughout the map (from what I understand) so I recommend you look up and down and everywhere you can to find them.
I will now show you how each one looks like so you will have an idea of what they look like while you are searching for them.
REMINDER: You may not find these clues in the exact same order as I did but the clues will remain the same.

Interact with the device to get a clue.

Congratulations! You have all 5 clues to Glassmaker Act 3.
Head back to the crystalized person, and interact with it to pay your 5 Cephalite Resonance to advance to the next stage.
STEP 4 – Navigate the Platforms
Welcome to the platform section of Act 3!
You’ll have 60 seconds to jump from one platform to the next until you reach the obelisk waiting at the end.
Unsuccessfully navigating the platforms will result in failure.
You’ll have to redo Act 3 if . . .
- you fall off a platform
- jump into the abyss
- time runs out
- or if you select the wrong platform
You’ll also need 5 additional Cephalite Resonance to re-accept the Act. Follow this guide word-for-word and you’ll do just fine.
REMINDER: The order of the platforms is random but the clues remain the same.
Now is the time to put the 5 clues we collected earlier to work.
PLATFORM 1
Jump on the platform with the correct PLUSH TOY.
PLATFORM 2
Jump on the platform with the correct BURNED OUT COMMUNICATION TECH.
PLATFORM 3
Jump on the platform with the correct SYMBOL.
PLATFORM 4
Jump on the platform with the correct PISTOL.
PLATFORM 5
Jump on the platform with the word FOLLOW.
You’ve traversed all 5 platforms, but you’re not done yet!
OBELISK
Maneuver to the final platform and interact with the obelisk at the center to complete Nightwave: Series 3 Glassmaker Act 3.
STEP 5 – Celebrate
Obtain your Nightwave standing and celebrate the completion of your Glassmaker Act 3.
One down, four more to go. But wait: don’t stop there!
