Prerequisites for Story Quests
Each quest comes with its own set of prerequisites. For example:
- To begin The Second Dream, you must first unlock the Uranus: Neptune Junction in the Star Chart and complete the Natah quest.
Additionally, you’ll need to unlock the Star Chart and acquire critical tools like the Railjack and Necramech, along with enhancing your Warframes and weapon mods. This preparation can add up to over 50 hours of gameplay before you’re ready for Warframe 1999.
