Warframe: All 15 Isleweaver Lore Fragment Locations (July 2025)
Ever since the Isleweaver update dropped on June 25, I've been completely obsessed with hunting down every single lore fragment hidden throughout Duviri. As someone who's collected every Kuria, Cephalon Fragment, and Glass Fish in the game, I couldn't resist the challenge of finding all 15 Isleweaver fragments – especially when Major Rusalka's exclusive hat and medal were on the line!
After spending hours exploring every nook and cranny of the reimagined Duviri landscape, I've finally tracked down all the fragments. Trust me, some of these are incredibly well-hidden, and the Undercroft section nearly drove me insane with its strict time limits. But don't worry – I've got you covered with this comprehensive guide that'll help you collect them all in a single run.

Why You Should Collect All Lore Fragments
Before we dive into the locations, let me tell you why these fragments are worth your time:
- Exclusive Rewards: Collecting all 15 fragments rewards you with Major Rusalka's hat and medal – cosmetics you can't get anywhere else
- Deep Lore: Learn the backstory of Oraxia, the 61st Warframe, and uncover Rusalka's mysterious connection to Duviri
- Limited Time: With Operation: Eight Claw ending on July 16, these rewards might become unavailable
- Codex Entries: Permanent lore entries added to your Codex for future reference
Essential Tips Before You Start
I learned these the hard way, so pay attention:
- Play Solo First: For all sections except Undercroft, go solo to search at your own pace
- Squad Up for Undercroft: The 5-second time limit in solo Undercroft is brutal – squads get extra time
- Movement Build: Equip mods like Rush, Mobilize, and Aerodynamic for faster traversal
- Don't Rush Objectives: You can collect fragments during or after completing objectives
- Warning: Don't enter the final portal to the Fragmented Arena until you've collected all other fragments – you can't return!
Teshin's Cave Fragment Locations
Let's start with the easiest area – Teshin's Cave has three fragments that are relatively simple to find.
Fragment #1: Behind the Kaithe
As soon as you spawn in Teshin's Cave, turn left toward your Kaithe (the horse-like creature). The first fragment is cleverly hidden right behind your mount. This one's easy to miss if you rush straight to the objectives!
Fragment #2: Garden Corner
After grabbing the first fragment, turn left again from the Kaithe area to find the resource garden. Head to the left corner of this garden area where you'll spot the second fragment nestled among the plants. I love how they placed it where players naturally go to collect resources.
Fragment #3: Shooting Range Center
Cross through the main room (where all the Warframes and weapons are displayed) to reach the shooting range on the opposite side. The final cave fragment sits at the center end of the shooting range – right where you'd stand to practice your aim.
The King's Palace Fragment Locations
The King's Palace area contains three fragments spread across its plaza and rooftops.
Fragment #4: Balcony Flowerpot
In the back center of The King's Palace plaza, locate the building with large doors. Climb up to its balcony and check beside the flowerpot for this fragment. Fun fact: some extraction points spawn directly below this balcony, so you might naturally stumble upon it!
Fragment #5: Between Bench and Banners
Head to the center of The King's Palace where the massive statue stands. Look for a bench with two vertical banners behind it. The fragment is cunningly placed between the bench and banners – it blends in perfectly with the environment.
Fragment #6: Rooftop Divider
The last Palace fragment requires some parkour. Find the rooftop that divides The King's Palace from Castle Town. The fragment sits in the corner overlooking Scholar's Landing – your next destination!
Scholar's Landing Fragment Locations
Scholar's Landing introduces some verticality to the fragment hunt with its tower and floating structures.
Fragment #7: Gate Pillar Top
In front of Scholar's Landing tower, you'll see a massive door/gate. Use your parkour skills to climb to the top of the left pillar of this gate. The fragment awaits at the peak – just be careful not to fall!
Fragment #8: Floating Structure Center
From the front of Scholar's Landing tower, turn right to spot a floating structure. Either fly there with your Kaithe or bullet jump with your Drifter. The fragment sits in the center of this structure, which is also loaded with credits and resources – double win!
Fragment #9: Behind Tower Pillars
This one's tricky. Go behind the Scholar's Landing tower and look up to see three horizontal pillars. The fragment is on the first pillar to the left. I recommend using your Kaithe for this one – the angle makes it difficult to reach with just parkour.
Important Note: You can collect these fragments during the stages or after completing them. Just DON'T go through the portal to the Fragmented Arena yet – there's no coming back!
Fragmented Arena Fragment Locations
The Fragmented Arena contains three fragments in a relatively small area, but the atmosphere here is incredibly tense.
Fragment #10: Collapsed Structure Side
Upon entering the Fragmented Arena, turn left toward a collapsed structure with a light pole. Check the left side of this structure for your first arena fragment. The lighting here makes it easy to miss, so look carefully!
Fragment #11: Pillar Overlook
Pass the collapsed structure and climb the next pillar you see. At the top, you'll find the fragment with a perfect view of the arena center where you'll summon the final boss. Take a moment to enjoy the view – it's quite spectacular!
Fragment #12: Bridge Ramp Side
From the pillar, jump to the left side of the bridge behind the boss summoning area. Check the side of the ramp for the final arena fragment. You can grab these before summoning the boss or after defeating it – just don't open the reward chest, as it'll teleport you out!
Undercroft Fragment Locations (The Ultimate Challenge)
Here's where things get REALLY challenging. The Undercroft fragments are the hardest to collect due to the punishing time limit.
Fragment #13: Right Pillar Rush
The moment you enter the Undercroft lobby, sprint to the nearest pillar on your right. The fragment is there, but you need to be FAST. In solo play, you only have 5 seconds!
Fragment #14: Mini-Island Maze
Continue straight and jump to the next mini-island. Pass the ramp, then turn left to find the fragment between a pillar and a pole. The path here is confusing, and the time pressure doesn't help!
Fragment #15: Statue Head Island
From the pillar, jump to the mini-island in front – the one with only a pole and a statue head. This is the final fragment, and reaching it in time requires perfect movement.
Pro Tip: I cannot stress this enough – bring a squad for Undercroft! The extra time makes this section manageable instead of a nightmare.
Rewards and Lore Significance
After collecting all 15 fragments, you'll receive:
- Major Rusalka's Hat: A unique cosmetic that shows you've mastered the Isleweaver content
- Major Rusalka's Medal: Display your achievement with pride
- Complete Codex Entries: Deep lore about Oraxia and Rusalka's connection to Duviri
The lore reveals fascinating details about how Oraxia became trapped in Scholar's Landing and her transformation into the spider-themed Warframe we know today. Without spoiling too much, the fragments paint a tragic picture of isolation and adaptation that adds incredible depth to the Warframe universe.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Rushing Through Areas: Take your time – fragments are often in overlooked corners
- Ignoring Verticality: Many fragments require climbing or flying
- Solo Undercroft Attempts: Seriously, just don't do it unless you enjoy suffering
- Leaving Early: Don't extract until you've grabbed all fragments in each area
- Wrong Build: Not bringing movement mods will make your life unnecessarily difficult
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I collect fragments after Operation: Eight Claw ends?
While the Isleweaver node will remain, the exclusive rewards (Rusalka's hat and medal) are tied to the Operation ending July 16. Collect them before then to be safe!
Do I need to collect all fragments in one run?
No, fragments are saved to your account. However, I recommend doing it in one run to avoid confusion about which ones you've already collected.
What happens if I miss a fragment?
You can replay the Isleweaver node as many times as needed. Fragments you've already collected won't appear again, making it easier to find the ones you missed.
Is there a way to track which fragments I'm missing?
Unfortunately, there's no in-game tracker. I recommend using this guide and checking off each fragment as you collect it.
Do fragments appear in Steel Path Isleweaver?
Yes, fragments appear in both normal and Steel Path versions of Isleweaver. Choose whichever difficulty you're comfortable with.
Can I use Loot Detector mods to find fragments?
No, loot radar mods don't detect lore fragments. You'll need to search manually using this guide.
Final Thoughts
Hunting down all 15 Isleweaver lore fragments has been one of my favorite activities in recent Warframe updates. The combination of exploration, lore discovery, and exclusive rewards makes this a must-do before Operation: Eight Claw ends.
The fragments tell a compelling story that enriches the already deep lore of Duviri and introduces Oraxia in a meaningful way. Plus, Major Rusalka's cosmetics are genuinely cool – I've been rocking the hat on my Drifter ever since!
