Finale: The Titan's Gift

Steal the Flames of Prometheus

Briefing

The Fire and The Flames
Finale: The Titan's Gift

My own pursuit of power aside, you now have everything you need, but time, more than ever, is of the essence.

The Freedom Phalanx is looking for Numina, the Midnight Squad is searching for my daughter and thanks to Darrin Wade now knows that you have something to do with it. If Odysseus talks to the Midnighters then the pieces will fall into place and they will realize that I am helping you to seize the Flames of Prometheus. If that happens before you have claimed its power, then you will be beset upon by enemies on all sides, and my daughter's fate will be bound to your own. You must hurry to Positron's Laboratory in Steel Canyon.


Mission Acceptance

Remember, Numina will obey your commands. Use her to gain access to the laboratory and to navigate you to the holding place of the Flames. Positron's security is sure to be total, but hopefully Numina's presence will confuse or confound it long enough for you to make your way to the Flames and to use the Fists of Vulcan to seize them.

Now go, master / mistress, and claim your power. I have done all that you have asked and look forward to being reuinited with my daughter upon your return. Please, do not fail.


Unnecessary Solicitation

+++ Missing Information +++

Mission Objective(s)

Numina grudgingly offers up the passcode to gain entry through Positron's security system. Her defiance is concerning but amusing when the Soul Catcher punishes her disobedience. Before long you have navigated into the lowest levels iwthout a trace of resistance to your intrusion. This is too easy; something is going to go horribly wrong...

  • Steal the Flames of Prometheus
    • Deactivate Alpha and Beta Security Terminals (optional)
    • Security Reboot Countdown
    • Defeat all B.O.T.L.E.R.s

The soul Catcher suddenly shatters, releasing Numina. Using her magic she teleports Positron and herself to safety. Cowards!


Enemies

Positron's Robots


Notable NPCs

Positron (Hero)
B.O.T.L.E.R. (Minion)

Deactivating the Security Terminals will disable the force fields and despawn the robot guards for 1 minute.

Security Terminal Alpha

Briefing

Badge question mark.png
Security Terminal Beta

Briefing

The security terminal displays a number of power meters for the various force fields located throughout the lab.

  • Activate Emergency Override

The power displays flash, but do not power down. A window pops up into the middle of the screen.

Confirm force field deactivation at Security Terminal Alpha to proceed.

  • Find Security Terminal Alpha (Leave)


Force fields are rebooting and have been temporarily deactivated.

V archetypeicon stalker.png Ambush! Defeating B.O.T.L.E.R. will spawn a large group of B.O.T.L.E.R.s to defeat.

Flames of Prometheus Containment Control

Briefing

You tap a few keys on the containment computer console. With a single key press you will open the containment device and the Flames of Prometheus will be yours!

  • Hit the Final Key

The containment device opens and inside you see the blue glow of true incarnate power.

You put on the Fists of Vulcan and reach into the containment device. Instantly the orange flames of the magical gauntlets are consumed by the raw power of the Flames of Prometheus. In an instant the blue flames crawl up your arms like a gasoline fire, turning the Fists of Vulcan to ash!

The blue flames settle over your heart and then enter your body. You can feel the power burning deep inside you. You feel invincible!

  • Revel in the power!

You sense a familiar presence. Positron!

  • Face Positron


Icon clue generic.png
Fistfuls of Ash
After handling the Flames of Prometheus with the Fists of Vulcan the power of the flames reduced the once glorious magical artifacts to only a fistful of ash.

V archetypeicon stalker.png Ambush! Interacting with the Flames of Prometheus Containment Control will spawn Positron!

Balloon.png Positron: Character! Return Numina to me and I will let you go.

Positron: Yours? The Flames do not belong to any one person. If you will not relinquish your hold on Numina...

Positron: I've had years to harness the power of the Flames. You've had that power for less than a minute. Now. Let. Numina. GO!

EdLetter.png Editor's Note:

While fighting Positron you will periodically see the message "Flames of Prometheus are Active!" which indicates that between 2 and 4 special fire imp-like creatures have spawned in the room. Looking from the room entrance, the orange Purifying Flame spawns in the far left corner, and the green Cleansing Flame spawns in the near left corner. If there are 4 or more members on your team a second orange Purifying Flame will spawn in the near right corner, and with a team of 6 or more a second green Cleansing Flame will spawn in the far right corner. Both types of imps are resistant to fire damage.

The Purifying Flame will try to get within 5 feet of a player, at which point it will explode, dealing a fair amount of lethal and fire damage (or a much smaller amount of lethal only damage to pets), but can be dodged normally.

The Cleansing Flame however, is much more important. Roughly 12 seconds after it spawns the Cleansing Flame will self destruct no matter where it is. If allowed to explode, it will heal Positron fully, regardless of distance or line of sight. The Flames have pet-level HP, meaning that a low-damage team should take extra care not to allow it to survive.

Positron's Flame summoning power has a 20 second recharge, so slows and hard control could prevent him from using it more than once in a fight.

The Shattered Soul Catcher
A pile of red dust and broken shards of crystal are all that remain of Mortimer Kal's Soul Catcher after Numina escaped its hellish prison. You aren't sure exactly what caused it to break. Perhaps it was destroyed by the power of the Flames of Prometheus, like the Fists of Vulcan were, or maybe... just maybe... it was... love?

Nah, it must have been the Flames of Prometheus.


Go to Mortimer Kal

Unnecessary Solicitation

You have the Flames? Now please, come tell me where my daughter is.

Briefing

Mortimer Kal's eyes widen as you approach.

The Flames! I can feel their power radiating from you! You have done it!

Now, as we agreed, return my daughter to me.

  • I don't think so.

Dark power seethes and rages behind Mortimer's eyes. For a moment you think that he might attack you, but then you see the storm clouds of power falter and waver and then slowly dissipate.

What further use could you have for her? You got what you wanted!

  • Numina has escaped, I could use a good wizard at my side.

Mortimer appears to accept his fate

The Midnighters will learn soon enough of my involvement with you. I will truly have nothing more than you to serve and my daughter's safety to attend to.

What would you ask of me, my master / mistress?

  • What you have already given me, Mortimer. Your loyalty.

And my loyalty you still have.


Debriefing

Master / Mistress, if you are contemplating what to do next I do have a suggestion.

Perhaps we could try to take over the world.


Completing this mission awards the Promethean Badge.

File:Badge I20VillainStrikeForce.png Promethean

You manipulated Mortimer Kal into helping you acquire some of the Flames of Prometheus from Positron!

Characters completing this mission will also receive the Temporary Power, Flames of Prometheus.

Icon clue generic.png Flames of Prometheus +Max HP, +Regen, +DMG
The Flames of Prometheus have left their trace on you, giving you an early taste of the powers of the Incarnate. This manifests as a minor increase to your health and damage output. This boon is permanent until you reach security level 50, at which point your connection to the Well of the Furies will overwhelm the lingering effects of this power. However, you will be able to trade in this power at that time for a rare Notice of the Well Incarnate component once you embark on the Incarnate path, which will prove a much stronger benefit in the long run.

When that character reaches level 50, the power disappears, but they get a reward badge under Accomplishments that can be traded in for a Notice of the Well.
