This WQ is incredibly difficult to complete in retail at this time. The damage the [npc=124988] does is fine but it has 396 health, yes, less than four hundred health. (For context, the [npc=125850] in the area have almost 48,000 health).
Demons die fast but any damage at all breaks the warframe and sends you back to the starting point. It's not hard to kill the 60 demons you need if you kite them and spam button 1 but breaking the portals is hard because things respawn so quickly. It took me at least a dozen tries.
This WQ isn't available in Legion: Remix yet so it's unknown whether it will have the same problem.
just go in by yourself and skip the warframe. you don't need to be in it to complete the quest
This is now more of a chore. Seems Lightforged Warframe health has been nerfed in a subsequent patch so much tougher to complete in 1 run. More of a pain than anything else, but still annoying. Quite why Blizz do this is beyond me, but I guess it keeps someone in a job!
