Level 10-14

There's a gun dealer named Carla Brunelli who would like to meet you. She's a very responsible, proactive woman who's helped a number of heroes in her time. She is deeply troubled by the Clockwork. Their presence in Skyway City means that she can usually be found there.

Carla is tough but fair.

I'd like you to go and talk to my friend Tristan Caine. He's an environmental activist who keeps a close eye on everything that might impact the city's welfare, including criminals. He might have some good tips for you on the Vahzilok. Tristan has a lot of political connections, so he keeps near the city's center in Skyway City.

There's a talented young lawyer named Athena Currie who you should talk to. She's a big community activist and has had some serious run-ins with the Clockwork. Miss Currie practices law in Steel Canyon.

Athena can really use the help of a hero like you.

I know a lawyer, Everett Daniels, who's a pretty good guy. He goes after the big corporations and even the government sometimes, but he's usually on the right side of things. He's always got a lead on the Clockwork. Mr. Daniels' practice is in Skyway City.

Everett will get you into the thick of things.

I know a confidential informant named Lorenzo DiCosta. He can provide you with some solid leads on current Council activity. Lorenzo can be found on the streets of Skyway City.

Lorenzo is well placed to provide information; please don't judge him too harshly, Character.

I suggest you see if Jill Pastor from the FCC has anything for you. She's always looking for heroes to help her out with the Vahzilok. Jill's offices are in Skyway City.

Jill is very serious about catching the bad guys and is willing to give valuable info to any hero who can get the job done.

There's an EPA investigator named Kyle Peck who's known for working well with heroes. I'm sure he'd be happy to help you out as well, and, more importantly, I think you could help him against the Vahzilok. Kyle's connections keep him in Steel Canyon most of the time.

Kyle is fiercely dedicated. As long as you show commitment to helping Paragon City, you will have a strong ally.

You should talk to Haley Philips over at the Health Department. She specializes in identifying and dealing with health threats posed by the Hellions and the Circle of Thorns. She's always looking for more help from the city's heroes. She can be found in Skyway City.

Haley has very strong beliefs about safety.

You might want to go see Hugo Redding, a physician's assistant who specializes in taking care of heroes. He also moonlights as a reporter for a medical website, so he's always hearing interesting tidbits about the Hellions and the Circle of Thorns. Hugo hangs out in Steel Canyon.

Hugo is keyed into the latest medical practices.

I know a private eye named Wes Schnabel who wants to talk to you about the Council. He's always looking for new contacts and good heroes to work with. He usually takes cases in Steel Canyon.

Schnabel is a good, old-fashioned gumshoe.

Dr. Trevor Seaborn expressed an interest in meeting you when I told him about your good work. He's a psychiatrist specializing in criminal behavior, and an expert on the Hellions and the Circle of Thorns. Dr. Seaborn is in Steel Canyon.

Trevor has a brilliant mind, and his insights on criminal behavior are invaluable.

You ever meet Willy Starbuck? He's a small time hustler, but he knows a lot about the Council, and he's willing to talk. You should stop by and introduce yourself. Willy grifts over in Steel Canyon.

Willy has the kind of mind that can lead you right to the heart of trouble.

Level 15-19

Did you ever see that weekly paper, the Asian Paragon? Well, its publisher, Olivia Chung, is a great woman. She knows all about what's going on in the immigrant community and has helped more than one hero sort out a jam involving the Vahzilok or the Outcasts. Olivia has her offices in Steel Canyon.

You won't meet many people as good-hearted as Olivia.

Dr. Ann-Marie Engles is a real expert in the field of cybernetics. She is fascinated with the technical aspect of the Vahzilok and the social impact of the Outcasts. Dr. Engles has set up shop in Skyway City.

You'll learn a lot from Dr. Engles; she's always happy to lend heroes a hand.

Agent Pavel Garnier from the FBI asked me to send you to him. He thinks you could help him with some of his cases involving the Vahzilok and the Outcasts. Pavel is currently looking into something in Skyway City.

A positive connection with the FBI is a very good thing to have.

Have you ever read Juliana Nehring's column? She's an Internet reporter who specializes in super-powered villains. She's always looking for new sources to help her investigate the latest Vahzilok and Outcast activities. Juliana files her stories in Skyway City.

Juliana is tough as nails and is willing to do whatever it takes to get a story.

Courier

Being a courier in Paragon City requires more than a little bravery. With so much chaos and adventure in the streets, any job that keeps you on the move is bound to be eventful at the very least. Alfonse Rubel relishes these adventures, and he loves his work. He knows the ins and ours of most of the city streets, and he has friends and contacts everywhere. As a result, he's always hearing important tips and tidbits that he happily passes on to the city's heroes.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I need you to confiscate that Superadine before it hits the streets!

Go to Kings Row and show the Skulls they can't pick on Paragon City's businessmen

Briefing

The Skulls have started extorting money from the business owners in Kings Row. If the victims don't pay up, the Skulls trash their businesses. Someone's got to get to Kings Row and show the Skulls they can't pick on Paragon City's businessmen. I think you're just the one to do it.

Those business owners can't stand up to the Skulls, Flame Scrapper. You're going to have to do it for them.

  • Combat Skulls in Kings Row
    • Defeat 10 Skulls

You have discouraged the Skulls from extorting money from business owners in Kings Row.

Enemies

Kings Row owes you one. I'm glad we can keep the wheels of commerce turning over there.

Hit the streets and defeat a few Lost

Briefing

The scientists over at SERAPH want some more data on these mysterious Lost. If we can find out what has happened to those homeless people, we may be able to help them. I need you to hit the streets and defeat a few Lost. Take some tissue samples, then bring the data back to me.

Mission Acceptance

Field reports have groups of the Lost in Kings Row and inside Perez Park. Good luck.

The scientists need more tissue samples if they're going to figure out what's happened to the homeless.

Mission Objective(s)

  • Collect tissue samples from Lost
    • Defeat 10 Lost

Debriefing

Thanks. I hope your efforts have brought us closer to solving this mystery once and for all.

Investigate Peterson Waste Management and stop any Skull plot you discover

Briefing

No one has been seen leaving the offices of Peterson Waste Management for the last few days. I've heard rumors of Skulls in the area, and I'm afraid they may have done something to those office workers. I need you to investigate Peterson Waste Management and stop any Skull plot you discover. You only have 75 minutes to stop the Skull plot.

I have a bad feeling about this. But I firmly believe you can handle it.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I'm really concerned about Peterson Waste Management. Tell me when you've wrapped up there.

Mission Objective(s)

A woman's scream is followed by the sound of a vicious slap.

  • Stop Skull leader and his crew - 1:15:00
    • 5 hostages to save, 5 bombs to disarm

You rescued the hostages and dismantled the bombs.

Enemies

Badge villain skulls.png Skulls

Notable NPCs

  • 5 Terrified office workers (Hostages)
Icon clue generic.png
The office worker's story
One of the office workers you rescued told you:

'They tried to force us to take Superadine! And I heard one of them say that taking too much can turn you into one of the Trolls!'

Notes

  • There is not a named Skulls leader in the mission. Clearing the final room fulfils the objective requirements.

Debriefing

So the Skulls were trying to poison those people by forcing them to overdose on Superadine? It just doesn't make sense. There's no connection at all between the Skulls and Peterson Waste Management. I really think the Skulls are small time players with big time backing. I'd bet my life they're doing the bidding of somebody else!

Investigate the warehouse

Briefing

I need you to investigate a warehouse for me. Eyewitnesses say they've seen people walk in, stay for a couple of hours,then leave looking much bigger and stronger than when they entered. One of the witnesses said the warehouse is under the control of a homeless man called Unlucky Pete. I'd like you to track him down; he may well have some answers for us.

Mission Acceptance

This could be the first step towards figuring out what is behind the strange behavior of the homeless.

Unnecessary Solicitation

You haven't discovered what is going on in that warehouse yet.

Mission Objective(s)

This warehouse should be busy, but the only people you've seen are the bedraggled members of the city's homeless population.

  • Defeat Unlucky Pete and his helpers

You defeated Unlucky Pete.

Notable NPCs

Enemies

Badge villain lost.png The Lost

Debriefing

More of those Lost. Interesting. You say the leader wanted the rest of the homeless to undergo some kind of change? I think we're on the trail of something big.

Talk to the Steel Canyon Security Chief

Talk to Security Chief

Briefing

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

Mission Acceptance

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

Unnecessary Solicitation

Don't let the Security Chief down, Character.

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 Copper District.


Icon clue generic.png
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.

Keep peace in Steel Canyon

Unnecessary Solicitation

Deal with the Outcasts for Security!

Mission Objective(s)

  • Keep peace in Steel Canyon
    • Defeat 10 Outcasts

You have defeated 10 Outcasts.

Enemies

Badge villain outcasts.png Outcasts

Debriefing

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