Learning goals
- Understand Kaithes as a Duviri travel system.
- Use Kaithes for distance and vertical navigation.
- Learn when to mount, dismount, and reposition.
- Avoid fighting the terrain.
Explanation
Kaithes help you travel across larger spaces, reach objectives, and handle vertical navigation in Duviri. Their movement is different from Warframe parkour and K-Drive, with its own turning, takeoff, landing, and flow.
Controls and smart use
Default controls can differ by platform and custom keybinds. If your controls do not match, follow the action name in Options > Controls.
- Access: Kaithes are part of Duviri progression. Start with Duviri content, then use Kaithe travel when the system becomes available.
- Use in Duviri: summon or mount your Kaithe through the Duviri interface or contextual prompt available in that mode.
- Use outside Duviri: broader open-world Kaithe summoning requires further Drifter Intrinsics progression; if you do not have it yet, treat this as a future unlock.
- Movement: steer with normal movement controls, use jump/ascend and descend bindings where available, and slow your approach before landing near an objective.
- Smart use: use Kaithe for distance, height, gaps, and vertical routes in Duviri. Dismount when close enough that precise foot movement is better.
What should I do?
Practice mounting, moving toward an objective, changing height or direction, landing near the objective, and dismounting cleanly.
How do I avoid wasting time?
Do not run across long Duviri distances on foot when a Kaithe would be more appropriate. Also avoid landing too far from the objective because you approached too fast or too high.
Common mistakes
Watch for these patterns while practicing.
- Forgetting to use the Kaithe for long travel.
- Landing far away from the objective.
- Dismounting in awkward terrain.
- Trying to use normal Warframe parkour logic in Duviri movement.
- Ignoring vertical routes.
Practical example
A player sees an objective across a large gap in Duviri. Instead of trying to reach it on foot, they mount the Kaithe, cross the gap, descend early, and land near the objective marker.
Key Takeaways
- In Duviri, Kaithes are your travel partner. Use them to reduce long, slow movement between objectives.
Practical task
Duviri travel becomes much smoother when you can approach objectives cleanly.
- In Duviri, choose a visible objective or landmark.
- Mount your Kaithe.
- Travel toward the target.
- Adjust height before arrival.
- Land near the target.
- Dismount and continue on foot.
- Repeat three times.
You can land near the target without a long correction walk.
