Essential parts of the fight that are well known, but that take a measure of familiarity and dedication to learn

Timing The fight

The Timer starts on the frame the minimap changes from the elevator to the Vallis, as seen in the following images:

In elevator:

Out of elevator:

And the timer ends when Profit-Taker flashes blue upon death as seen in the image:

Profit-Taker spawns at 8s on the in-game timer. Note that the in-game timer will reset once Warframe finishes loading the bounty, which takes ~4s on a good PC. This can take longer on slower systems. To get the most accurate time, stay in the elevator until this timer hits 8s after resetting. Only the host’s timer resets. This system helps avoid giving an unfair advantage to people with an extremely good PC.

As host, you can estimate your time by subtracting 8 seconds from the timer at the moment Profit-Taker dies, or you can track your time with the Profit-Taker Analyzer.
