Zigursky Penitentiary
Overview
The Zigursky Penitentiary is a prison in Paragon City, used to keep super-powered villains locked away. It is located in Brickstown. In the villain tutorial Breakout, players escape the Ziggurat with the help of Arachnos. After escaping, villains are flown to Mercy Island in the Rogue Isles.
Missions
Villains return to the Zig in the Breakout at the Zig story arc from Operative Wellman and again in the third mission of The Pilgrim's The Ouroboros Initiation story arc (after talking to Mender Tesseract).
Badges at the Ziggurat
Heroes can arrest escaped Prisoners outside the Zig to earn the Warden badge. The Inmate exploration badge can be found by the front door, and Flying Shark on the topmost tier. One of the plaques for the Scholastic badge can be found just outside the outer fence at the south east corner of the prison. Villains can find the Jail Bird exploration badge in cell 15.
Notes
- Zigursky Penitentiary is also known as the Zig, the Big Zig, and the Ziggurat.
- Originally, the prison was known as the Brick. This name now survives only in the name of its home zone, Brickstown.
