Spinal Core Section Farming in Warframe (2026): Vitreospina and Chondricord
Vitreospina in cave pools, Chondricord in cave hotspots
Last Updated on September 30, 2026
The short answer
Two Cambion Drift cave fish carry Spinal Core Section. Vitreospina lives in cave pools at either cycle and wants Fass Residue. Chondricord gives more per fish from cave hotspots baited with Vome Residue. Bring both baits and run it on Gauss.
