How to get Silphsela in Warframe

The grind never stops!

It’s hard to believe that the Warframe franchise is already a decade old, especially considering the amazing graphics and level of detail that Warframe is known for. If you’re new to the Warframe franchise or just haven’t played it in a while, now’s the best time to pick it up! Warframe has been getting more and more updates and cool new stuff added to it, including new weapons, new items, new characters, new resources, and more!

One of the exciting new resources that’s been recently added to the game is Silphsela. Silphsela is a useful resource that can only be found in incredibly specific, remote regions; if you want to get your hands on some Silphsela in Warframe but aren’t sure where to begin, then just keep reading to find out where to find it and how to use it!

How to Get Silphsela in Warframe

Silphsela is one of Warframe’s many collectible resources. Despite only being located in specific parts of the map, Silphsela is actually a lot easier to find than you think! What makes this resource so (relatively) easy to obtain is mainly its appearance; Silphsela is harvested from the Sun Silph plant, which literally just looks like a giant glowing sunflower.

If you want to find Sun Silphs, all you need to do is look for huge, yellow-glowing sunflowers growing out of the ground! These plants don’t grow just anywhere, however. Sun Silphs only grow in the Duviri region, specifically in Duviri’s westernmost areas.

To find these radioactive-looking plants, just travel to the western edges of Duviri and keep a sharp lookout close to the ground. Once you spot one, simply approach it and harvest it; that’s all there is to it! (pro tip: this resource happens to be conveniently affected by double-drop boosters, so keep that in mind when you go to harvest it!)

What is Silphsela Used For?

As previously mentioned, Silphsela is a resource that is harvested from the Sun Silph plants, which can only be found in the Duviri region. It’s not as difficult to collect as some of the other resources in Warframe, but it’s not necessarily a walk in the park either, so why is collecting it so important?

Silphsela is one of many resources that are required to craft the Sun & Moon melee weapon in Warframe. Not only does the Sun & Moon weapon look wickedly cool, but it also kicks some crazy alien ass; the Sun & Moon weapon is quickly becoming a fan-favorite in the franchise, and it’s no wonder why!

If you want to get your hands on this wicked weapon, then you need to harvest as much Silphsela as you can get!
