This chapter is fully dedicated to Lua - a satellite of Earth. In Warframe, Lua contains Halls of Ascension - 7 tests and a music puzzle known as the Conservatory.
Halls of Ascension or The Seven Principles are special locations on Lua containing puzzles to solve. The puzzles require speed, focus and cooperation with other players. Completing riddles is rewarded with mods that cannot be found in any other way (aside from trading). More puzzles can be found in Mobile defense missions.

Agility Test
You'll encounter a huge organ and a door before the entrance to the Agility Test. To unlock the door, you need to complete the following actions:
- The first button used to unlock the door is located above the door - all you have to do is to fire at it and the test will begin.
- The green tubes will enable you to unlock further buttons - climb on the left (while looking at the locked door) tube. When the tube fires you in the air the left wall should contain a button to destroy. Make your way to the newly activated tube.
- Once you've been fired from the tube, you'll encounter a button on your right - destroy it to unlock three new tubes on the right.
- After being fired from the tube, you should encounter two buttons to fire at - they will unlock an additional tube on your right. Climb on it.
- Use the tube to climb to a higher level of the location. The next button can be found over there - fire at it to unlock a new tube. Climb the tube and destroy another button. The final tubes will now be unlocked.
- You should now climb to a tube that has a green rim - spring from it, perform a double jump and reach the room with the portal.
Note - Make sure to not fall to the ground during the duration of the test. Otherwise, you'll have to repeat the test. If you having problems, use Nova or Zephyr - Warframes of good mobility. The abilities of Ivara, Wukong and Titania can also prove to be useful.
Completing the puzzle yields a reward - Agility Drift.
Collaboration Test
This room can be completed along with four other players. There is a possibility of completing it solo, but it requires a certain Warframe (Decoy Loki, Molt Saryna, Effigy Chroma).
- The screenshot above contains a character who is standing on a button - this button has to be clicked by a Warframe or an operator.
- The second player has to stand on a new button (when attempting to beat the challenge solo, place your Warframe on a new button and use the operator to stand on the previous button - by default, the operator is summoned by pressing 5)
- Step on the buttons found in 4 corners of the room. Every corner unlocks a small pathway containing two pressure-sensitive plates.
- When 4 corners (8 buttons) are activated, you'll unlock a pathway found in the center of the room. Enter it.
- Inside you'll find 4 buttons. You need to stand on them until a passageway is unlocked. You can use Specter and operator abilities to activate them.
- You'll unlock the last pathway that contains a portal and the reward.
Completing the test yields a reward - Coaction Drift.
Cunning Test
Cunning test sees you encounter a miniboss from a mission called Second Dream. The room contains 4 columns. Take notice of the fact that the walls also contain formations that are similar to columns - they have a breakable grate underneath the central part of the column. Destroy 4 of the grates to activate a button found in the middle of the room. Climb on it to begin the test.
The fight will be similar to the one seen during Second Dream. Your mission is to make Security Eye fire at the exposed areas on the columns.
Each time a column is destroyed, the enemy will rotate around his axis and fire explosive rounds or release a poisonous cloud. Avoid blue clouds left by the enemy - they are very poisonous.
In order to win, all columns have to be destroyed. Defeat the enemy to unlock the portal.
Completing the challenge yields a reward: Cunning Drift.
Endurance Test
This test is best completed with friends (4 players). However, you can beat it on your own using Spectres and health items. To make the test easier, fire at one of the hanging columns in the area (fire at the strange part that is used to join the column with the ceiling). Now you can enter the small button that gleams with light. Step on the button to activate lasers that are focused on a single location. You need to stand in the middle and hold through the damage (use health replenishing items to restore your health) through the duration of the test. The location you're currently in enables you to fire at some of the lasers and destroy them. The remaining time is shown by the column filled with water. Lasers that have a circular motion can be temporarily disabled by firing at the back of the laser.
The test is rewarded with Endurance Drift.
Power Test
This test is very simple. The center of the room holds a passageway that has to be unlocked. To unlock the pathway, you need to fill 4 spheres with your energy. Each sphere requires 40 energy.
Warning - The test has a time limit. After a short while, the spheres will start to lose their energy. You can also use an operator to charge the spheres.
Completing the test yields the following reward - Power Drift
Speed Test
The test consists of two rooms with obstacle courses that have to be beaten as fast as you can, otherwise the door may be locked by the time you reach it. Destroy the plate above the door that looks different than the other doors (has a strange blue aura).You'll notice that there is a column emerging from the floor. Turn around and approach one of the rooms (left or a right one - there is no fixed order). Stand on the button found at the entrance to the room to activate the time limit (the elapsed time is shown by three moving items - once they join, run as fast as you can). Once you get through the obstacle course, destroy the button found above the door. Proceed to the next room and repeat the scheme. Once both obstacle courses are cleared, the column in the initial location will reach its normal position. Climb on it, enter the portal and pick up your reward.
Completing the test yields the following reward - Speed Drift.
This test can also be found during Extermination missions on Pluto.
Stealth test
This test takes place in a large, long chamber. The mission itself is rather simple. Activate the course by standing on a glowing button. You need to get through to the other end of the room while avoiding blue lasers - touching them resets the test. Make sure to complete the test quickly, as staying in a single location spawns opponents that will attack you. The test can be done easily in a group of two - one activates the test, the person located at the other end of the room ends it. You can also leave your Warframe and use the operator to activate the test.
The test is rewarded with a mod - Stealth Drift.
Musical Puzzle Room
Also called the Choir room. The puzzle appears randomly, and independently from the 7 tests. This room holds a button that activates a music sequence. The player's task is to recreate this sequence by activating the buttons in the right succession (you can also reset the melody with a switch found in the center of the room).
Once you complete the task, the game will create two orokin chests - one in the middle of the room (with Octavia chassis) and one below, on the left side of the switch (can contain Forma)
Notes
There is a possibility to obtain multiple rewards from the music puzzle room, however the number of times possible is random from 1-3 with 1 being the most common.
