Ohhhh what other purpose do they serve
“What purpose do I serve?”
“You are the time cycle for Deimos and your blown up bits are fish bait.”
“Oh my God.”.
Awsome reference
Rick and Morty right?
Yes. Butter bot
Hell ya
They're basically the "day/night" cycle for Deimos. They're in a cycle of killing each other and coming back to life. Different Fish are available depending on which sibling is dead at the time, along with a few other differences.
You ever find it funny that because of how much weird stuff Warframe has, we take this thing as normal?
Honestly, the cycle between Vome and Fass is probably one of the more logical weird things in the game.
Fass = Chaos, Vome = Order
Fass being alive also makes all the infested go crazy. 300% increased aggression iirc.
oh so thats why I can never fucking get away from them when im trying to mine
Ivara infinite invis is pretty much the only frame I use there unless I’m actually doing missions. Just want stuff to leave me alone when I’m farming T.T
Just bring big overguard guys, u are pretty much immortal there
Me a Grendel main.
Fass=more fast food
Vome=slightly less fast food
Ahh correction my chunky brother XD
Fass=all you can eat buffet
Vome=standard 30k calorie lunch.
Ah. Those are terms I understand. Thank you for the translation. I may be into SP, but I honestly don't spend a lot of time on Deimos, so I hadn't noticed the enemy intensity difference. So, I have learned something new today.
Yeah from what I have noticed the respawn rates seem faster and aggro ranges are much further during Fass, I didn't even notice the changes to my chunky monkey build until I took him out for a spin. The new meatball slurp is so much fun haha
MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD!
What tipped me over the edge is the plains having a simple cycle timer and the nodes having a separate 4 hour cycle that switches every week or two I think. When I did the silver grove is when I found that out.
Wait the timer for the nodes switch every two weeks??
No, they're on a 4 hour cycle. What switches every two weeks is whether day or night comes first iirc.
TIL
It's also legit so flipping cool. I love the day night cycle being something unique like that. One of my favorite things was explaining it to my buddy and just like reflecting on how cool that system is that I take for granted
Fish are actually the same. At least in caves. Have been fishing a lot in Cambion Drift.
From memory it’s the surface fish that change the most when Vome is up, further to that depending on what sibling is active you’ll find friendly active or broken necramechs on the surface
The current time also changes how many enemies spawn. When Fass is out, more Infested will spawn, while when Vome is out, less will show up.
If my memory serves me right they do affect caves but you can still catch the other night or day cycle rarely, The fish of the current cycle are more likely to spawn.
It's an oversized clock 🕒👍
They're basically sun and moon.
I mean…Deimos IS a moon, and it’s tidally locked, so there isn’t a day/night cycle. Vome/Fass cycle makes more sense in that light.
Sun and Moon of Deimos, who kill eachother every day\night
So, if you have met Son already, then here you are looking at the other one, Sun, literally, kinda.
Basically he and vome are fighting siblings who dictate the time cycle, which changes the animals found and fish that can spawn, and necramechs are either dormant on one or aggressive on another
Clock. Time of worm, per say.
time cycle, vome/fass residue for bait, thats pretty much it
They kill eachother and you harvest the current dead ones organs for fish bait
Day and night cycle
They’re basically the Day/Night cycles of Deimos. Certain creatures/fish only appear while one of the two is active, and the Fas/Vome Residue you find on the floor swaps whenever a noodle pewpews their sibling noodle.
More accurately, he’s a wyrm
I thought they were both sisters? Am I wrong?
Fass is male, says so when you do some of the first quests in cambion drift involving Sister
I tend to call vome Michael Fassbender instead
So you know how the Plains of Eidolon have day/night, and the Orb Vallis has hot/cold?
Deimos has Vome/Fass, depending on which of the infested worms is "dominant".
So are they just beacons of light or what’s they’re purpose
Basically they're the day/night cycle of Deimos, and are mostly important for fishing.
They are living things, giant infested wyrms that control the hive mind, they are currently fighting for dominance over the moon.
Those are what control or organize the infested. Like the mind part of the hive mind.
Basically each area with infested kinda has its own controller and those are in a bit of a power steuggle for who gets to be on top.
Vome, vass, lephantis, etc
They’re only part of the hive mind on Deimos tho. Deimos infested area a different strain than the rest of the system generally speaking
Yeah, each area with i fested is a different starin but gameplay wise the diemos are a subfaction and have diffrent enemies and resistance/weakness
I think they are the oldest most developed strain
When Vome/Fass cycle change in Deimos, you can actually see them fight.
Yeah Vome uses a kamehameha wave and Fass hocks a giant flaming loogie iirc
Amd if you accidentally get to close to you they'll nuke you (effectively oneshotting you regardless of items/abilities).
I'm now curious to see this in action. I have Extra Life, what could possibly go wrong (many things could go wrong)?
I haven't seen that before😕 Is it a new update feature?
Naaah, I'm just messing with the new guy. Think of the thrill he'll feel now that he moves towards the edge of the map. "Will this be too close? Will I get smacked now?" :)
Still hoping for a third major infested hiding under the surface that is attacking them both from below (likely the source of the giant skull). This third infested is far weaker and is provoking Fass/Vome as a means to harvest their scattered flesh and build its strength.
This could have a boss fight where you cull the third one inducing (for you only) a cycle without the other two attacking each other and combining their cycles effects.
Unlikely considering that the infestation seems to fear the void and Albrecht's lab are under the surface of Deimos.
Does the infested fear the void? I haven’t seen anything that would directly indicate that. Am I missing something?
These worms are linked to one another in some weird way. There is a story in which they are treated some kinda love story, idk why. At the end of the day lore significance is that they are like the graveminds from halo, but without timeline jump consciousness (as far as we know), so when one is awake, it kills the other to take control of local infested population. What this means for you is:
Deimos's day night cycle is replace with the Fass Vome cycle. During this changes what enemies are available to fight, what fish bait is available, and of course the fish that are available. This also changes what kdrive races are available, this matters cause this is where you get the coolest one.
also changes other the spawn of other creatures like predasites (medjay predasite only can spawn on vome for example)
They affect the behavior of the infested and Necramechs
Yeah, and it's absolutely ridiculous every time I see it.
Gods Earth
On God's Earth, it is nothing, it does not exist on Earth. On God's Deimos on the other hand...
Orokin really should have nuked Deimos from the orbit while they still had the chance considering all the messed up stuff going on there. But Orokin were also not exactly wise so... lol
That would break
Grammy didn't give two shits about that. She literally broke the damn thing.
Kids with their fancy tech nowadays…
In a way that it could be repaired.
Nuking the thing that powers the solar rails you’re using to scoot around and escape the Infestation might have some consequences the next time you need to use a solar rail to scoot around and escape the Infestation.
We both know that narratively, nuking and then repairing isn't satisfying ynless there are even worse, but necessary, consequences.
Where did I miss this in the story? Was it in a quest?
Heart of Deimos, about, well, the Heart of Deimos. Not much I can add really.
Alberto Fernandez Mancilla Entrati
Why would that be the case ?
Pretty sure Deimos got infested during the Old War, as a means to stop the Sentients accessing the Heart. So they never had much time to nuke it before it grew out of control.
Lot of lore comes from tyana pass node on mars
Belric the Bold, Rania the Clever. Unleashed the infested on Deimos foreverrr!
garbage rhyme
edit: some of y'all haven't grinded the ever loving shit out of tyana pass mirror defense to the point where all of tyr regor's lines are permanently burned into your memory, and it shows
The infestation was the nuke, Orokin-style one.
Having infested is a non issue compared to being completely destroyed by the sentients because of not having access to void black magic
I mean, the released infested spores all over the thing intentionally, so I'd argue they kinda did.
Still no proof they weren't just sculpting it into a big skull on purpose
Frankly with how much Orokin tomfuckery, void madness, and infestation shit going on, I don't think god had anything to do with it.
Big worm, he has a sister and they love each other very much:)
to death, even
to death, you say?
To shreds, you say?
You know the sun from Teletubbies? This is just the warframe version. But now there is 2 of them :)
This one is called Fass and the blue one is Vome
100% best explanation I've ever read
Fass, the more aggressive brother to Vome, who are twin infested wyrms on Deimos. They represent the two warring hives within the Grey strain of infestation and are the first example of the infestation actually combatting itself.
The infested wyrms and infestation in general were created as a last ditch security effort when Deimos was destined to fall in the Old War. Belric and Rannia, two defenders of Deimos, set off a bomb releasing the infestation before it was plunged into the Void so that the Entrati family both had passive defenses and research to conduct while the Orokin won the war against the Sentients, all to keep the Heart from being damaged or destroyed.
It was explained in the Heart of Deimos quest when you first encounter these things
Yeah, like how much do you have to not pay attention to miss that?
I have a friend mastery 25 that literally rushes every quest, every cutscene that can be skipped he will skip it lol. I always end up explaining the lore to him cuz I do pay attention lol
I don't pay attention to the story at all lol. Just here for the gameplay
Then don't ask stuff like that, since it's not related to gameplay.
It also doesn't make sense to me to ask lore questions if someone is so disinterested in the story to speed through it cus they just wanna Run & Gun
In fairness, sometimes people don’t start paying attention to the story until much later on.
It took me up until around Fortuna’s launch to really kind of sit down and give a shit about the plot and the world it takes place in, before that I was just rushing through MR for weapons I wanted.
That’s probably because the earlier quests don’t have almost any correlation to the main plot points, so people kind of just skim through the quest, I for example
? You can be selectively interested in some things and not others lol. It doesn't have to be hard binaries you either pay attention to all of it or none of it. Not to mention it's just making conversation on an internet forum, relax
If they were selectively interested in the worms, they should have paid attention to that part of the story.
You could also skip cut scenes or become interested at a later point. This gatekeep is wild lol
Lmfao "You should pay attention to game lore if you care about it" = gatekeeping now apparently.
I don't care if people skip over every piece of lore, but I do think it's dumb if they then go and ask questions that were entirely explained.
If I skipped straight to watching season 5 of a TV show and then went to the show's subreddit asking "Who's this?" people would be rightly annoyed with me.
Also, even if they do become interested later after skipping through, pretty much any question they have, especially this one, is explained on the wiki. No point in wasting time here.
I'm just saying I skip, maybe OP didn't. People don't have eidetic memories, might miss parts of a cutscene or just forget. You could just give an answer and move on or not engage
As for a TV show is, it's plot. There's no gameplay outside of it to be invested that long otherwise lol. Not to mention plenty of people have missed details in earlier seasons or even the same season and ask about it on their respective subs. It's a place for discussionr. Asking about events that happened, characters that haven't been seen, forgetting some character motivations, forgetting some character interactions and relationships. This worm is one part of the story in one area, it's not like he's said "who's the lotus"
People are allowed to change their minds, oh angry one. Do you even remember what grass looks like?
Uh, no? People can change their mind. Do better for your community.
Dont see what all the Fass is about
I can see you didn't pay attention in the Heart of Deimos quest. The quest where you're introduced to the open world. Where there is a huge cutscene explaining who Vome and Fass are while they do their huge cinematic blasting each other moment.
Like how in the fiddle dee dee did you miss that?
Don't know about him, but I stopped playing half way through the quest, which means when I came back 2 years later I had no idea what was going on. Maybe a similar situation here? Or he just wasn't paying attention, I don't know.
This. Read the story or look up on google. You apparently has enough terrabyte to post this question on reddit
One of two worms.
On Earth, we track the time with the position of the sun and moon.
On Venus, we track the time with the periods of warmer and colder weather.
On Deimos? We track the time by paying attention to the motherfucking beam-o-war between two oversized alien worms that hate each other and who freestyled on who at the moment.
He's here to talk to you about your warframe's extended warranty
my peanits
That’s uncle Klebus, he used to change your diapers when you were a baby don’t you remember?
It's not on god's earth, it's on deimos, a giant infested worm
that is the sun.
You throw Lotus into it.
did you not pay attention at all during the heart of deimos quest?
To this day this is the absolute coolest concept Warframe has ever done. It’s so unique.
Fass. He is an infested worm that serves as one of the Infestation's hivemind's voices. His more benign counterpart is his sister, Vome.
that's the sun (for deimos at least)
I dont mean to alarm you, but thats not on gods green earth. Thats on deimos
One of the creatures helping switch the day and night cycle of deimos
Your friendly neighborhood mutated tapeworm. He likes to fight with the other one, and they take turns winning.
See there's a slight issue: it's NOT on God's Earth. It is beyond his scope of creation, birthed from the pits of infested mess deep in the guts of Deimos. God is either ignorant of its creation, or powerless to stop it, and I'm not sure which is worse,
Thats is on deimos, i understand why your confused
Forbidden (giant) gummy worm
A overly massive face hugger
I don’t get how some people miss these two. I had someone ask me what Vome was in-game a while back. There’s a scripted change between them during the Heart of Deimos. How do you not see or hear the giant laser?
You can see them kill themselves when the time changes frome vome to fass or vice versa. it's kinda cool to watch every time it happens when you are there..
My brother in the Tenno fold, you're not even on Earth...
Lephantis' shamalamadingdong.
Underrated comment, you made my day 🤣
Secret boss but you have do 24 secrets random secrets things in less than 1 hour or it will explode :(
A giant missed opportunity.
A missed opportunity.
(Could've been some bomb bosses to fight.)
Cute twin worms
When did that get to earth?
Big worm that has beef with other big worm of a different color
just shooting his sister
its a bad dragon
That's Jerry, he chillin'
Someone didnt payed attention at the start there....This is 1 of 2 Beautys of Deimos...On them you can see wich time you have there...Its Vome and Fass
Don't worry about it's friendly probably
big parasitic worm, first time on Deimos? They're like the day and night cycle, there's also a blue one
so nice seeing a young tenno seeing fass for the first time!
You're not on God's earth anymore. Welcome to Deimos
That's Ed, he's chill. Everyone say "Hi Ed!"
First off, that's not 'Gods Earth' that would be 'Gods Deimos'. Secondly, that's just Fass. He's our little eldrich abomination that fights the other one, and beyond that, bro just vibes
that’s actually not on Earth. hope this helps
The way day and night work on deimos
This land is not of Earth. Earth's God has no dominion over Deimos.
The Great Wyrms Fass and Vome are the Gods of this realm.
Their battle is an unending cycle of violence in a struggle to loom over all that is Deimos.
Under their gaze, the light of Deimos changes in alignment to who wiggles freely above all who scuttle below.
While one undulates in the infested air, the other slowly recovers, stitching themselves together until they are whole, and can once more breach the surface to face their rival, their equal, their counterpart, and destroy them.
Then the cycle continues.
They are there to blow chunks all over the map so you can feed it back to the local aquatic(?) wildlife.
A gummie worm that fight it's brother every hour lmao
The sun
Worm🪱
Fred, he's cool
600 hours in game and it took me a while to finally figure It out: that’s Fass, a big fat worm who represents the day/night cycle like in The Plains of Eidolon. I’m pretty sure the other big worm is blue and it’s his sister Vome
God's facehugger.
cavern walls shaking distant roaring Awww shit, it FASS TIME!
That's my dad
God Mk.2
It's just Fass, he's chill tho so no worry
That's fass , hey fass f..u , how is your sister vome ?
bait distribution system. it explodes every so often when the other model finishes rebooting
snek
worm :)
Stick around long enough and watch the fireworks.
That’s Fass. He likes to shoot lasers. He’s just a little guy. Pay him no mind.
tbh vome and fass are adorable there plushies even more so and there coming wen tennocon ;o;
Welcome.....😈, that is the sun
Sparky sparky boom man
Friend :)
that’s where you’re mistaken, that isn’t gods earth 😂
Uhm actually That's not on Earth, That's Deimos...
Jokes aside, I believe that would be Fass, he is a Wyrm. Him and his sister fight pretty frequently and it's what marks the "day/night" cycle on Deimos.
It’s the sun, duh?
Gods earth? It should be "What on Voids Deimos is that thing"
W o r m
that's the sun Fass! Boy howdy do i love the sunset
Worm
Don't be silly, you're not on Earth. You're on Deimos.
The only gods there are Vome and Fass, locked their endless struggle for dominance over the infested moon.
Deimos' "Sun"
Praise be to he
It's Fass(bright orange) n Vome(Blue), they are the ultimate infested life form on Deimos, they are so huge & powerful they affected & represent the life cycle of Deimos.
They are constantly battling to be the only Dominant life form, without one of them, they could consume entire Deimos n moving onto different planet to consume them too.
somebody wasn't paying attention during Heart Of Deimos quest...
The main issue I see here is that you are not on God's earth. You're on Demios (probably spelled wrong)
This is not Earth, amd God has abandoned this planet. Welcome to Deimos.
you are in godless lands
you are not on earth
thats lil bro :3
- You are not on earth there but on Deimos
- There is nothing like a God.
- A giant infested p****.
Youre on deimos not earth
well firstly, that's not on Earth
and secondly, God has no place in this world. And even if he did, we'd kill him for an extra drop
This is not God's earth, this is Deimos, and it belongs to the mighty sky worms.
That thing isnt on earth its on deimos thus statement invalid
You are no longer on God's Earth.
Nothing. Cause its on Deimos.
Not on Earth. Definitely not on Earth.
That's Fass. He a big worm boy that's always fightin with his sister Vome.
