The Galleon of Ghouls event in Warframe, spanning three weekends in May 2025, challenges players with Ogris-only Capture missions against the Instigator Ghoul. Players can earn blueprints for the Tonkkatt and Tak & Lug melee weapons, along with components and valuable Orokin Catalysts and Reactors.

How to Complete the Galleon of Ghouls Event Solo in Warframe?

The event plays like a twist on classic Capture missions — but there’s a catch:

You're locked into using an event-only Ogris launcher.
No other weapons and no abilities.
The Ogris has infinite ammo but can hurt you if you're careless.
Your goal: track down and capture the Instigator Ghoul, a new mini-boss that doesn’t appear right away. Keep progressing through the level — it’ll spawn shortly.

The mission is short, straightforward, and repeatable. Farming is efficient — just don’t blow yourself up.

Best Warframes for Solo Runs

Since you can’t use abilities, survivability is key. You’ll want a Warframe that can tank hits and stay mobile.
Top Solo Picks:

Inaros / Inaros Prime: Massive health pool, passive healing, no energy dependency.
Nidus / Nidus Prime: Health regen and scaling tankiness help offset disabled powers.

Recommended Mods:

Health + Armor Mods (Vitality, Steel Fiber)
Adaptation for damage resistance
Mobilize / Rush for faster movement
Damage Reduction Arcanes (if available)

Final Thoughts

The Galleon of Ghouls event is short, rewarding, and easy to solo with the right prep. Even if you miss the event, the weapons will likely return later, but why wait? Log in, jump in, blast some Ghouls, and walk away with two deadly melee weapons and Prime resources.
