Alad V is a recurring Corpus boss that the Tenno faces multiple times during the game, but he is mainly the boss that is the Tenno’s target on a specific mission.
He oversaw the creation of advanced robotics for the Corpus and began using Warframe components for his Zanuka Project.
Due to the serious threat and the many Warframes that have been dissected for his experiments, he has been marked for assassination.
Alad V Location
The Tenno will be sent to hunt down Alad V in the Themisto (Assassination Mission) on Jupiter, which is unlocked once you have finished Thebe, Ganymede, or the Saturn Junction.
Entering the Themisto mission will have players chasing after Alad V, who is accompanied by one of his experimental robots from his Zanuka Project.
How To Defeat Alad V?
Once you arrive at Themisto on Jupiter you will need to head towards the waypoint where you will fight Alad V and Zanuka.
It may seem easy at first but killing Alad V won’t be doable until you destroy Zanuka or else he will just be revived by the robotic pet.
If Alad V gets in the way, you can always move away as Zanuka will chase after you, giving you a chance to destroy the robot.
Get to a space where you can fight Zanuka and proceed with damaging it until it is destroyed, which will leave Alad V both vulnerable and without a way to get back up.
After you have dealt with Zanuka, go ahead and chase after Alad V and attack him until his health is depleted and he will go down for good.
Aiming for Alad V’s head is a good way to deal more damage to him as this is a common weak spot shared by many Corpus enemies.

Tips
- Focus on Zanuka before attempting to deal with Alad V or else it will continuously revive him, which will not only waste time but probably get you killed.
- Alad V can knock you down and Zanuka can take advantage, which makes it best to lure Zanuka away to fight it without its master.
- Multiple Corpus enemies will be in the area and will fight alongside Alad V and Zanuka but you can take out some of them in advance before triggering the fight.
Verdict
Themisto is not that hard of a mission if you have upgraded your equipment to a certain level but even without a fully modded arsenal, you can still defeat Alad V and Zanuka.
Valkyr shares a connection to the experiments Alad V has done, making her a victim of experimentation and torment.
The fastest way to complete the mission is to destroy Zanuka as soon as it appears and continue killing Alad V.
