How to Beat General Sargas Ruk in Warframe (2026): Shoot the Three Exhaust Vents
Impervious armor, three exhaust vents in order: shoulder, chest, back
Last Updated on September 30, 2026
The short answer
Sargas Ruk’s armor is impervious except for blue exhaust vents that open in a fixed order: left shoulder, chest, back. Each one is a third of his health. Stay clear of his fire, hit the open vent, and remember he is immune to status effects. Reward: Ember parts.

The three phases
- Phase one: he uses a flamethrower and blast grenades. Wait for the left shoulder exhaust to open and shoot it.
- Phase two: he adds Fire Blast, a slam that makes a ring of fire and knocks Tenno back. Keep your distance, then hit the chest exhaust when it opens.
- Phase three: he adds Eruption, fire pillars that deal heavy Heat damage. The back exhaust opens after a ground slam.
- Finish the last third of his health through the back vent.
