When Jade Shadows dropped, we got a new clan operation: Belly of the Beast.  This event is scheduled to last until July 18th, 2024.  Want to know more?  Keep reading!

1. Getting started

Once you've completed Jade Shadows and have become acquainted with the latest game mode, Ascension, you are greeted with this option when clicking Brutus over on on Uranus.  In case you don't know what Ascension is, check out the tl;dr guide I wrote about Jade Shadows.

2. How the operation works 

During this event, you are given some additional nodes that refresh about every 30 minutes.  By completing these, along with the normal Ascension mission, you can farm out Volatile Motes.  

 

Important alerts

Bonus tip: while defending the Extraction Capsule upon its "ascension", you will see some blue things around.  These are Sisters of Parvos summoning beacons and you will want to interact with them.  There are a total of 3 per mission, and once you've reached the top, a Sister of Parvos spawns.  Killing her rewards some extra Volatile Motes, so skipping out on this is kind of a bad plan.  Good farming, Tenno!

Volatile Motes are spent with Ordis on Larunda Relay (Mercury).
