New Contact(s)[]

There's this kid, Alfonse Rubel, who's a courier. He zips all over the city, delivering important packages and messages. He sees a lot of what's going down with the Lost and the Skulls. Al's route has him in Steel Canyon for the next few days.

Alfonse is almost always on the move. If you catch him at rest, he can help you out.

You should introduce yourself to Genevieve Sanders. She's a pharmacist with a heart of gold who does a lot of community work, and she loves to help heroes against the Hellions and the Circle of Thorns. Genevieve is near the hospital in Kings Row.

She is one of the nicest people I know.

Have you ever met Paula Dempsey? She's a real pistol and has a great deal of information on the Clockwork. You'll like her, and I'll bet she'll like you as well. Paula hangs out in Kings Row.

Paula has high standards, but I have no doubt you will live up to them.

Have you heard of Hero Corps? They're a business that matches heroes up with jobs. There's a liaison named Henry Peter Wong there who's taking on new clients. You should chat with him about the Vahzilok menace. Hero Corps has Mr. Wong in Atlas Park.

Wong is pretty gung ho about Hero Corps; there's no denying that he will keep you busy.

There's an EMT named Paco Sanchez who'd like to meet you. He's not only great at his job, but he also works well with heroes, tipping them off whenever he sees something interesting going on with the Hellions and the Circle of Thorns. Paco can be found in Galaxy City.

Paco primarily cares about saving lives.

Information[]

Reporter

Linda Summers is a freelance reporter looking to make a name for herself. She earned some notoriety when she landed an exclusive interview with Vahzilok himself, although she had to be saved by a group of heroes when the zombie master decided he wasn't pleased with her interviewing tactics. She doesn't scare easily, and so she perseveres. These days she's thrown herself into the local gang scene and has written a series of compelling articles about life in gangs. Like any good reporter, she always protects her sources, a fact that has earned her the trust of the people she covers. She will work with heroes, although she has been known to keep important facts from them.

Initial Contact[]

I have plenty of information on my fingertips. Play it straight with me and I'll do the same.

Talk to Lt. David Wincott[]

Briefing

Have you heard about the Hollows? Ever since the Trolls moved into Eastgate, the Paragon PD has been fighting a losing battle against them. If you're willing, I'd like you to go talk to Lt. David Wincott of the Trolls Task Force. He could really use your help in reclaiming the Hollows. Of course, we can really use your help here, too. Wherever you'd like to lend a hand, you'll be welcome.

The Trolls are the worse problem in the Hollows, but they aren't the only one. I'll let Lt. Wincott fill you in.

Icon clue generic
Hollows Briefing
Eastgate used to be a nice residential neighborhood with a view of the ocean. Before Trolls moved in, that is. On a quest for more territory, a group of Trolls headed into the sewers under Eastgate with the intent of blasting open a large area. What they didn't know that that there was already an extensive cave warren beneath the area. Their blasts destabilized the ground and collapsed a large section of the zone. When the dust settled, the surviving Trolls realized that they had found an excellent area for expansion. This event became known as the Hollowing. Since the Hollowing, other groups have moved into the area, including the Outcasts, the Circle of Thorns, and the strange rock-like creatures known as Pumicites. The Paragon City Police Department has its hands full trying to expel these threats so that reconstruction on the Hollows can begin.

Mission Objective(s)

  • Talk to Lt. David Wincott

See Kings Row Security Chief[]

Briefing

I need you to get over to the Kings Row Security Chief right away. Follow your compass.

There have been reports of some trouble with the Skulls in Kings Row, so he may send you after them.

Mission Objective(s)

  • Talk to Security Chief

Briefing

This briefing will help you. Now get out there and take out those Skulls. You might try looking for them in High Park or Freedom Plaza.

Icon clue generic
Kings Row briefing
A lot of hardworking folks live in Kings Row, home to most of Paragon City's labor force. The place was named after the King Garment Works, but that business went under over twenty years ago. Now, Kings Row is in the hands of all sorts of businesses, from small factories to various Crey subsidiaries. Unfortunately, those damn Skulls have taken over the streets. Some people say that those ghouls belong to some sort of death cult. Whether that's true or not, the Skulls are sure full of trouble.

Mission Objective(s)

  • Keep the peace in Kings Row
    • Defeat 10 Skulls

You have defeated 10 Skulls.

Enemies

The security force sends their thanks. Good work! It won't be easy to clean up Kings Row, but with your help, we have a much better chance of success.

Talk to the Steel Canyon Security Chief[]

Briefing

There is trouble in Steel Canyon. Get your assignment from the Security Chief.

You will probably be dealing with the Outcasts, so be ready for anything.

Mission Objective(s)

  • Talk to Security Chief in Steel Canyon

Briefing

Here is some info on the area. I need you to get out on the streets and contain the Outcasts. They can usually be found in Blyde Square or the Cooper District.

Icon clue generic
Steel Canyon briefing
Steel Canyon is the financial district of Paragon City. Many national banks, insurance companies, and investment firms have their headquarters in this zone. In fact, so much money flows through Steel Canyon, Paragon City ranks among America's richest cities. Success has spurred the construction of so many skyscrapers that the place looks like a canyon made of concrete, glass and metal. The zone isn't without its dangers, though. The Outcasts have claimed the area as their own, and they've recruited a lot of kids with mutant powers related to the elements. That's what the Outcasts love best—beating down their enemies with the power of the elements.

Mission Objective(s)

  • Keep peace in Steel Canyon
    • Defeat 10 Outcasts

You have defeated 10 Outcasts.

Enemies

Badge villain outcasts Outcasts

Debriefing

Well done; those Outcasts are a powerful bunch. It seems the number of mutants in the city is increasing rapidly.

Go to the streets and defeat a few Skulls[]

Briefing

I want to know where the Skulls are getting the money and supplies they need to run their Superadine ring. Get on the streets and take down a few Skulls. We've got to get to the bottom of this.

Take a few of these Flashbang Grenades. They'll disorient the Skulls.

Temporary Power

You receive Flashbang Grenades.

Temporary FlashbangGrenades Flashbang Grenades Ranged (Targeted Area of Effect), Foe -Accuracy, -Defense
These military issue non-lethal grenades explode with a concussive force that leaves all affected targets very vulnerable. Their Accuracy and Defense will be severely reduced. You have 6 grenades. Note that these grenades disappear when you report back even if you haven't used them all.

Mission Objective(s)

  • Investigate Superadine ring
    • Defeat 10 Skulls

The last Skull you defeated gave up some information about the Skulls' drug ring.

Icon clue generic
The Skull's story
One of the Skulls you defeated told you:

'Yeah, all right, the Skulls got a partner. A big partner. You'll never guess where the Dyne is coming from, zero. And I ain't tellin' ya.

Debriefing

So, there is another play supplying the Skulls with Superadine. Very interesting. We'll have to learn more if we're going to win the drug war in Paragon City.

Break Up the Gang Fight[]

Briefing

The Skulls are planning to move on a Hellions hideout in an abandoned office building. I need someone to break up that gang fight. But watch out; once you show up, they won't stay around for long. You only have 75 minutes to break up the gang fight.

I hear the Hellions have some valuable artifacts stored in that hideout. Bring them back if you can. Your only real objective is to stop the fight, but if you can prevent the artifacts from being destroyed, I'd be much obliged to you.

Mission Objective(s)

You can hear the sounds of gunfire and flame, muted by the old office's decaying walls.

  • End gang war, arrest all thugs - 1:15:00
    • Protect artifacts

You defeated the gang members and averted a full-scale gang war.

Some interesting things may be overheard during this mission:

Hellions vs Skulls fight:

Hellions Minion: We're going to toast ya!

(agroed)

Hellions Minion: Hero! Torch 'em!
Skulls Minion: Punk up Hero!

(agroed)

Skulls Minion: Smash that junk!


Icon clue generic
Confiscated artifacts
You stopped the Skulls from destroying these artifacts.


Debriefing

It seems both the Hellions and the Skulls were operating under orders. There are bigger things afoot than a simple scuffle over territory. We have to get to the bottom of the Skulls' and the Hellions' connections!

Destroy the drug lab and recover the sample the Skulls are using[]

Briefing

Some Skulls have set up a lab to make their own Superadine. Someone needs to destroy that drug lab and recover the sample the Skulls are using. Can you get it done before they can go into mass production?

I know you can do it, but be careful. The rumor is that Marrow Drinker is running the show. He won't go down easy.

Mission Objective(s)

The old warehouse smells of rotting cardboard, rusting metal, and strange chemicals.

  • Stop Marrow Drinker and crew
    • 3 labs to destroy

You got the Superadine sample and defeated Marrow Drinker.

Icon clue generic
Raw Superadine sample
This unrefined sample of the drug Superadine was collected from a Skulls' drug lab.

Notes

  • The name of the boss can vary. Possible names include Marrow Drinker and Toothbreaker Jones.

That's more Superadine off the streets. Good work. I'll pass this sample along to someone I know at SERAPH.

Go to Perez Park and stop the Skulls' drug trafficking[]

Briefing

The Skulls have been selling a lot of Superadine in Perez Park lately. The hospitals are crowded with overdosed addicts, and street crime is escalating. I need you to go to the source. Get over to Perez Park and stop the Skulls' drug trafficking. If we can't stem the flow of Superadine, we could wind up losing a lot of people in that zone.

The Boneyard and the park itself are some of the Skulls' favorite hangouts. I suggest you start there.

Mission Objective(s)

  • Combat Skulls in Perez Park
    • Defeat 10 Skulls

You have discouraged the Skulls from selling Superadine in Perez Park.

Enemies

Badge villain skulls Skulls

Debriefing

Well done. The Skulls' drug ring just took a big hit.
