Warframe - Orokin Spectator codex scans
0This is not pleasant. Most of the time there are no spectators.
Lua - Pavlov
Frame - I prefer Ivara with Infiltrate (will help with lasers) for this. Stealth is best for an extra scan.
Ballistica Prime
Helios and codex scanners
The type of vault you want is either at A or B. If you are closer to A than 100m and haven't entered the outer door yet (at 0:33 I place a marker when I know that A is not the one I want), then the vault you want is at B. So head there instead. If you go to A, you'll know it's the wrong one if it has an Orokin Ball that needs to be shot.
The 3 markers I place at the end (1:55) indicate where else I have seen spectators while doing this. edit: found a third spectator in the giant hallway w the 3 platforms at the 3rd platform. Still haven't encountered more than one spectator in a mission.
You can get 2 types of scans:
Type 1: regular Orokin Specator. If you're undetected, Helios will scan it and get you two scans, or you can equip your codex scanner and do it manually. Also 2 scans if undetected. If you're detected for either, it will be 1 scan.
Type 2: Orokin Spectator Eximus. After you have scanned the regular kind or you run into an eximus, if you can kill them with the ballistica prime with a fully charged shot, they will turn into a ally ghost which you can then scan manually. This gets you 1 scan. Sometimes damaging them sets off the alarm, sometimes it doesn't. This doesn't really matter unless you want to do the vault. I don't. I just quit and do it again. The scans still count in the codex even if you quit. This video shows an eximus type at 1:38. The ballistica strategy will work for other non eximus enemies you need too, like Babaus.
The hallway with the pillars you have to jump to, I was never able to successfully scan a ghost. Some of the ghosts start moving. The best I could tell, it depended on which location the spectator was in. I found 5 spawn locations. Anyway, the ghosts don't last long and scanning a moving target is a pain. I didn't get many on the move. But it is done. And I got 2 forma from the music room (you have to extract to get the forma tho, which means successfully doing one vault).
