Information

The Eternal Surgeon

Somewhere between man and monster, Dr. Graves no longer practices 'formal' medicine. Practically impossible to kill, since he's technically already dead, Dr. Graves realizes that his name has become the butt of numerous jokes. However, when he needs a new kidney, spleen, heart, or other 'disposable organs', not too many people take time to appreciate the irony of his career path.

Souvenir

Souvenir: Remote Detonator

This leftover detonator reminds you of your initial victories in Dr. Graves's game...

The Hearts of Darkness - Rogue's Contest

It began whit a summon from Dr. Graves, a grim surgeon with a short temper. He gathered you and four other Villains together and proposed a contest. The prize: unimaginable power and a resource at the winner's disposal, courtesy of your unnamed benefactor.

You started by making sure that Arachnos took little notice of you. You played dumb for the Arbiters and got them fighting amongst themselves, and returned to Graves.

During the first round of the contest, you managed to trick Dollface out of finishing a race to the finish, and stole the win yourself. Graves, though displeasedm was forced to concede the first victory to you.

For the second round, each contestant was required to formulate a plan of their own design, to display their villainous prowess. After investigating the others' plots, you came upon inspiration: you would destroy a Longbow base, lighting it up for all Mercy to see!

As you engaged in your plan, a mysterious voice began to assis you. It directed you on the specifics of when and how to destroy the base.

As you were about to evacuate the base and let the explosives run their course, the voice revealed itself: Scirocco of Arachnos had assissted you! He directed you to continue participation in Graves's illicit contest, in the hopes of tracking down and capturing your unnamed benefactor.


Register for Dr. Graves's tournament

Healthy Competition

Briefing

You would believe me to be a ghoul? And I assume your self-image is that of a misunderstood protagonist, is it? Or maybe the snarling monster with a secret heart of gold? Or perhaps someone cursed to a life they didn't want?

Bah. I am not here to trade barbs with someone of your like. However, what I am going to do is offer you, Character, a formal invitation to a very exclusive, albeit unsanctioned... competition.

Before you dismiss this opportunity, know this - the victor of the trial shall be granted the privilege of being apprenticed, if you will, to a person with very important connections.

Dr. Graves looks around at nearby Arachnos guards in a rather dramatic fashion before fixing his soulless eyes upon you.

Very, very important... connections.

Mission Acceptance

I'm glad to see that your ambition overshadows your attitude, Character. You'll need both if you expect to surpass the others in the eyes of the one who is truly watching. With that said, let us tarry no longer with this conversation. Actions speak louder than words, and if you try hard enough, sometimes louder than screams. I will give you the location you are to 'register' at. Use the registration console within the gathering place to prove your intent and I shall then speak to you further.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I do not have time to waste catering to your personal schedule. You are to meet me at the provided location,,, or forfeit your chance at gaining an enviable position of power. Now go!

Mission Objective(s)

This appears to be the location Dr. Graves instructed you to meet at. You'll need to find the registration console he spoke of.

  • Register for Dr. Graves tournament
    • Use the Identity Verification Console
    • Talk to Dr. Graves
    • Talk to Omnicore
    • Talk to Zephyr
    • Talk to Dollface
    • Go look for Crosscut
    • Talk to Crosscut
    • Talk to Dr. Graves

You have signed on as one of the contestants in the tournament of darkness. Little do the others know that you have no intention of losing this contest...

Enemies

V badge Longbow.png Longbow

Notable NPCs

  • Dr. Graves (Hearts of Darkness Ally)
  • Omnicore (Hearts of Darkness Ally)
  • Zephyr (Hearts of Darkness Ally)
  • Dollface (Hearts of Darkness Ally)
  • Crosscut (Hearts of Darkness Ally)
  • Longbow Intervention Team (Longbow)


Debriefing

I hope you paid attention to the rules, Character. They are quite important. I am giving you my contact information so that you can learn when your trial is to begin.

Oh, and another thing. Good luck... You'll need it.

Avert Arachnos attention

Undisciplined Disciple

Briefing

Character. Before this first round of the competition begins, we must be certain that the ever present grasp of Arachnos has not taken notice of our... festivities. Thus, I have assigned each of you the task of reducing your profile - your importance, if you will - in the eyes of those who govern the pecking order in the Rogue Isles.

In other words, make the Arbiters believe you're not someone worth paying attention to for the time being.

Mission Acceptance

You have most likely already spoken with the arbiters that grant you permission to increase your powers. Although they appear to regard you as just one of the teeming throng that litters the streets of Mercy Island, this is not truly the case. I would suspect they have already taken a silent interest towards your activities, making your movements not as slight as you may believe.

You will need to make them think you're not worth considering for the time being. As part of your challenge, I will leave the details up to you. However, if I were to offer a suggestion, perhaps you may want to convince them that you're woefully inexperienced.

Dr. Graves pauses for a moment as he reads your face.

In other words, tell them you're a 'noob'.

Talk to Arbiter Richards in Mercy Island
Icon clue generic.png
Trainers
Trainers are capable of helping your character grow stronger. Whenever you gain enough experience to Level Up, a flashing arrow will appear near your Experience Bar. When you see this arrow, speak with a trainer!

Depending on your character's level, Trainers can allow you to learn new Powers, or can help you add Enhancement Slots to Powers you already have.

Visiting Trainers every time you Level Up is an essential part of your character's growth - remember to train whenever you get the chance!

Unnecessary Solicitation

Missing Unnecessary Solicitation Dialogue

Mission Objective(s)

  • Go take a ride on the Ferry to Port Oakes West
    • Use your map to locate the Rogue Island Ferry

You've reached the Rogue Island Ferry leading out of Mercy Island. Take a trip to Port Oakes West and find Arbiter Unger in the Arena District.

Talk to Arbiter Unger

Mission Objective(s)

  • Assault the corrupt cops in Mercy Island
    • Defeat 10 Rogue Island Policemen

You have successfully beaten down enough cops to keep the Arbiters busy for a while. Now it is time to inform Dr. Graves of your success.

Icon clue generic.png
Ferries
The Rogue Isles Ferry is the best method for Villains to move about the Rogue Isles. Each Ferry leads to every other City Zone that also has a Ferry. Note that some zones also have a Black Helicopter. Like the Ferry, the Black Helicopter is a good way to quickly reach any zone with its own Black Helicopter.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Although your idea is rather effective, this is not what you've been instructed to do. However, if you insist, I will not get in your way of inflicting grevious bodily harm upon those hypocritical authoritanians. You should find more than enough of them at Darwin's Landing or in Mercy City.


Debriefing

I'm not sure what was going through your head when you decided to raise the ire of the Rogue Island Police, Character. This runs directly counter-intuitive from your directions to reduce your profile.

You have, however, managed to keep the eyes of the police off of our activities; perhaps even Arachnos, themselves. Because of this, I will not request that our faceless benefactor disqualifies you... this time.

Beat the other Contestants!

Skeletons in Your Warehouse

Briefing

It is now time for the trials to begin. This shall be the first of several competitive events that you will be used to gauge your strengths, and potentially cull the weak. Let us hope for your sake that you are not the first to be culled.

Mission Acceptance

While you and the rest were avoiding the eye of Arachnos, I have put into motion all of the situations you will encounter and be judged by. You and the others will return to the impromptu training-grounds and utilize the registration terminal to begin the competition. The first to the finish line will be determined as the winner of Round One.

Oh, and you may wish to hurry. For you see, the competition has already begun...

Unnecessary Solicitation

I would highly suggest that you graced us with your presence in the Trial Ground, Character. The longer you wait, the more you have given your fellow competitors that much more headway towards the finish line.

Mission Objective(s)

You can hear various yells and explosion sounds coming from deeper inside the building. It looks like you may have gotten here too late!

  • Beat the other Contestants!
    • Register at the Terminal
    • Trick Zephyr into following you!
    • Stop Crosscut from getting ahead of you!
    • Trick Crosscut into following you!
    • Get the Intercom Override controls
    • Fight the Skull blockade
    • Find the Marker before the others do!
    • Talk to Dr. Graves
    • QUICKLY! Use the Marker!!!
    • Deal with the angry Skulls!

You made it to the Marker before anyone else did!

Well, officially, that is... and that's all that counts now, isn't it?

Enemies

Notable NPCs

  • Dr. Graves (Hearts of Darkness Ally)

  • Zephyr (Hearts of Darkness Ally)
  • Dollface (Hearts of Darkness Ally)
  • Crosscut (Hearts of Darkness Ally)
  • Skull Opportunist (Skulls)
  • Skull Opportunist Leader (Skulls)

Debriefing

To say that I am infuriated by the manner in which you stole the victory from under the clear winner is... well, we'kk just say that's an understatement.

I was looking forward to the look on your face when I told you that you had been disqualified.

...

However, it would seem our benefactor has deemed your actions withing bounds of the contest. Therefore, as much as it pains me to say - you have officially won the first round, Character

Learn of your competitor's plans

Villain without a plan

Briefing

You are blessed with a luck like no other, you know that Character? Were it not for the intervention of our faceless benefactor, I would have isqualified you for the manner in whcich you stole your victory. However, since it was deemed alright by the one patronizing these proceedings, I must award you the winner's spot in the first round.

That may not be to your liking, as you shall soon see. Let us now move to the next trial, shall we?

Mission Acceptance

How fitting you say that, for that is almost precisely what you will be experiencing. You see, being the winner in the first round puts you in a rather undesirable position. The next round of the contest will require you to pull off an act of mayhem and discord by your own design. The loser of the last round has been given the opportunity to stake claim to a location where they will perform their deed... first.

You, being the winner, will get to pick last.

However, I am giving you the list of where the others have chosen to undertake their plans, which our benefactor has provided as your 'prize' for winning the first round. Perhaps you can glean some insight from them that will help your own plan to outdo theirs. Now go.

Talk to Crosscut

Mission Objective(s)

  • Go to the Hospital and talk with Crosscut

Unnecessary Solicitation

Crosscut indicated he will be near the hospital. That is all I am allowed to offer.

Talk to Dollface

Mission Objective(s)

  • Go to the Arachnos Training Grounds and talk with Dollface

Unnecessary Solicitation

Dollface indicated she will be near the landing that Arachnos uses for training drills. That is all I am allowed to offer.

Talk to Zephyr

Mission Objective(s)

  • Go to the Docks and talk with Zephyr

Unnecessary Solicitation

Zephyr indicated he will be near the Docks. That is all I am allowed to offer.

Talk to Omnicore

Mission Objective(s)

  • Go to the Black Market and talk with Omnicore

Unnecessary Solicitation

Omnicore indicated she will be near the Black Market. That is all I am allowed to offer.

Visit the Architect Entertainment building

Mission Objective(s)

  • Go to the AE Building and try to formulate a plan
    • Travel to the AE Building

You scan the Architect building for inspiration, but find the possibilities to be lacking. However, Omnicore has given you have a much better idea...
You're going straight for Longbow -- In their own base!

Icon clue generic.png
Day Job Locations
Day Job Locations are places where you can recieve bonuses based on the amount of time your character spends offline. If you log off in a Day Job Location, you will begin to accure a Day Job Bonus associated with that location. Each Day Job Bonus only lasts a limited amount of time, based on how long your character was offline in the related Day Job Location.

Below are some example Day Jobs:

Hospital: Grants an out-of-combat Regeneration bonus.

Arachnos Base: Grants an Experience bonus for each completed mission.

Docks: Grants a bonus Enhancement reward for each completed mission.

Black Market: Grants a Temporary Power that allows you to teleport to the Black Market.

Architect Entertainment: Grants bonus Architect Tickets for each completed Architect mission.

Debriefing Now that you've staked out the AE building, it is time to put together your plan. I would expect --

What is that? A Longbow base?! You must be stark raving mad to do something...

No, no... I mispoke.

That is a WONDERFUL idea.

Blow up the Longbow Base!

Longbow Goes Boom

Briefing

I will not be the one to stop you from getting yourself killed, Character. If you wish to walk into a Longbow base without an army backing --

You hear a sharp ringing in your ears that drowns out all other sounds. A calm voice rises above the cacophony, speaking to you:

Wait until nightfall. It will be arranged to leave only a skeleton crew on staff. There will be explosives hidden away in a crate, waiting for you. Use them to destroy the base.

Mission Acceptance

The ringing subsides as quickly as it appeared.

--idea what explosives you're blabbering on about, Character. It would seem as if you didn't fully work through your plan. It will be a shame to not longer see your face in the competition, but I will say you very well may gain a great deal of respect from your fellow prisoners in the Zig.

Let us both see what your future holds, shall we? The next round of your trial begins -

Now.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Time is running out, Character. If you are to carry out this foolish endeavor of a direct assault on a Longbow base, I would suggest you head there now. Already one of your fellow candidates have completed their plan. Try not to keep them waiting?

Mission Objective(s)

You hid away until nightfall as your mysterious advisor suggested. From what you can tell, there is only a skeleton shift guarding the base. Take out the witnesses and find those explosives!

  • Blow up the Longbow Base!
    • 3 Nighshift Supervisors to defeat
    • Find the Explosives in the entry room!
    • Defeat the interception team before they warn the others!
    • Defeat Interception Team Bravo
    • Plant the Bombs!
    • Activate the bombs at a remote terminal!
    • Speak with your mysterious helper

You pulled off your plan, and wound up working for another side in this contest.

Debriefing

I do not know how on Earth you were able to do what you dod, Character. Were it not for numerous eyewitness reports of you being the one to escape from the base moments it blew, I would suspect you of trickery.

It would seem... It would seem you have won this round, as well.

Do NOT look so smug, Character. The next set of trials will not be so easy.

The Hearts of Darkness - Heroic Measures (5-14)

E ICON MeritToken.png Merit Rewards: This activity awards 2 Reward Merits.

Survive Zephyr's Insidous Plan

Zephyr's Gust

Briefing

The aftermath of the execution of your plan has caused us to keep the details of what we are doing more hidden from the eyes of the Arachnos. Due to this, our competition had to be adjusted. Our benefactor has agreed to alter the proceedings to more - intimate - events. And with you being the maind catalyst to these alterations, it would be most fitting if you continued to play the role for the remainder of the competition. Of course, you can always concede your current victory to the others if you do not feel up to the task for the remaining events.

Mission Acceptance

Very wenn. From here on out the contestants will be required to come up with ingenious means by which they can capture, torture, and ultimately defeat those that would impede our benefactor's goals. Since one of you will become the protege to the master, you will use this time to show that our masters' attentions will not be wasted on the victor. Each of these plans will require vicious cunning, a complete disregard of ethics and cultural mores, and a touch of dramatic flair by the means in which the unfortunate 'hero' is beaten, broken, and eventually destroyed.

You, Character, will be given the honor of playing the role of said hero in your fellow contestants' plans. All you need to do is survive what they have in store for you. Simple enough for someone so daring, yes? Zephyr, in last place, will be given the first go at you. He awaits. Now go.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I am not in the mood to wait any longer for this. Zephyr is waiting, as are the rest. Wait too long and we will list you as 'FORFEIT' in regards of the competition.

Mission Objective(s)

This is the location Dr. Graves directed you to. When it comes to planning, Zephir is not much of a threat. However, it would be best to stayon guard.

  • Survive Zephyr's Insidous Plan
    • Tell Zephyr you're ready to begin.
    • Defeat the first of Zephyr's new goons
    • 3 Channeling Altars remaining
    • Find Zephyr
    • Gloat over Zephyr

You survived Zephyr's foolish plan of giving his newly acquired minions significant potions of his power... with the help of Arachnos, of course.

Enhancements
Enhancements are items that will improve the effects of your character's powers. You can make you attacks more accurate, your health more powerful, or even make your powers recharge faster. How you choose to Enhance your powers is up to you, but make sure you keep your Enhancements up-to-date.

Each Enhancement has a Level associated with it. Caharcters can equip Enhancements that are up to three levels above them, or down to two levels below them. Enhancements that are beyond this range will not have any effect on your character. This means that as your character levels up, you will need to update your enHancements to keep your powers top-notch.

You can increase the level of your Enhancements in two ways: You can equip new, higher-level Enhancements that drop of the enemies or are bought at a Store. or you can combine Enhancements. If two Enhancements of the same type and similar levels are combined, they will increase in level!

Experiment with different Enhancements to see what improvements you want out of your powers, and make sure to keep them up-to-date. You won't regret it!

Debriefing

So you survived, did you? I would have been rather shocked if you hadn't. Zephyr has shown himself to be a complete idiot, so your success shows that you can fight your way out of a wet paper sack. Be lucky that I did not authorize any of you the right to attack each other. As much of an idiot as he may be, he does seem to be rather impervious to all forms of damage - allowing him that would have been to have just handed him a victory. I may not like you, Character, but I truly like him less.

Foil Dollface's Dastardly Plan

Dollface's Devices

Briefing

You are required to submit yourself before Dollface and endure her 'dastardly' scheme. So far you have managed to foil Zephyr's foolish plan, which isn't saying much. I am unaware of what her plan will entail, but I doubt it's pleasant.

Mission Acceptance

You would do well to know that your arrogance, no matter how far it has brought you thus far, will likely be the cause of your ultimate faulire. Dollface has been given special privileges by our patron, so do not be surprised if there is more than meets the eye in her personal plan. Now go. She awaits you.

Mission Objective(s)

  • Dispatch Luddites in the Devil's Coat Tail Neighborhood

You have done away with the number of Luddites needed to turn off the mental time-bomb. It looks like you're finally safe.

Debriefing

Congratulations on your stunning victory over Dollface's heinous plan. I was quite worried that your head was going to blow up at any moment, possibly causing an explosion rivaling that of your ego.

The pride you've earned for beating her at her own tricks, is well, stupendous indeed.

Endure Crosscut's Plan

Crosscut's Test

Briefing

With your resounding triumph over Dollface's plan, you will now move onto Crosscut's personal project. I'm quite certain your cunning and expert intelligence will surely allow you to bypass whatever simple plan Crosscut has in store for you, yes?

Mission Acceptance

I'm quite certain he believes the same. You should be able to make it through this by the skin of your teeth. Do not tarry, for he's waiting for you as we speak.

Oh, another thing, Character. Good luck. You'll need it.

Unnecessary Solicitation

We are eagerly waiting for you to engage in Crosscut's trial, Character. The anticipiation is gut-wrenching.

Mission Objective(s)

From the tracks of dark stains leading from the entryway to these caves, you're pretty certain this is where Crosscut will be found.

  • Endure Crosscut's Plan
    • Find Crosscut and listen to his plan
    • Talk to Crosscut
    • Find the jar of antivenin!
    • Find the Matriarch and retrieve the Antivenin
    • Defeat the Matriarch's daughter

You found the antivenin on the body of the Matriarch's daughter and used it to counteract the venom that was slowly killing you. You survived Crosscut's trial, but you're not sure you were the one who was victorious.

Debriefing

I have assessed the details of what Crosscut put the hero, you, through. Although you survived, it would appear as if Crosscut's plan succeeded as he had planned. This round goes to Crosscut. Do not frown, Character. You are still ahead for now... until our final event, that is.

Endure Omnicore's Master Plan

Omnicore's Toys

Briefing

It's a shame you made it through Crosscut's ordeal. I expected far more from him. Quite literally, I was expecting far, far more. However, what's done is done. I doubt you will make it through this final ordeal, though. You see, Omnicore was quite delighted to hear taht you would be playing the role of 'hero' in her upcoming plan. This should prove to be most entertaining.

Mission Acceptance

Oh, we'll see about that, won't we? You know the procedure. Meet her at the specified location. i'm sure she'll be waiting with bells on.

Unnecessary Solicitation

What are you waiting for? Omnicore is waiting to commence her final test.

Mission Objective(s)

From the looks of it, Omnicore appears to have set up this test environment as some sort of technological house of horrors. Find some means of letting her know you're here.

  • Endure Omnicore's Master Plan
    • Turn on the Observation Terminal
    • Fight the Robotic Clockwork
    • Fight the Robotic Hellion
    • Find and turn off the Jamming Signal
    • Fight the Robotic Legacy Chain
    • Fight the Robotic Council
    • Prepare for Omnicor's final assault
    • Watch Omnicore be defeated by her won robots!
    • Gloat over Omnicore's defeat

You faced each of Omnicore's creations and ddefeated them all. All except for her final creations, that is. Even still... you won, and in the end that's all that matters.

Debriefing

I saw those robotic creations Omnicore had created, Character. They were nigh unstoppable. I do not know what trickery you used to bypass them, but I tell you this... When I find out, there will be hell to pay.
