Talk to Caze

Unnecessary Solicitation

You need to talk to Caze now.

Mission Objective(s)

Briefing

After this converstion, find Blake to learn about Enhancements

Angel sent you, eh? Well a lot of folks here are out of practice when it comes to combat. That won't impress anyone in Arachnos, and you better impress them if you plan to stick around for long. Sure, they think you're hot stuff now. That won't last if you can't show them some mad skills.

First off let me explain your health bar. This is the bar in the upper right of your screen that shows you how many Hit Points you have left.

When the bar is completely empty you are defeated and will be asked if you want to go to the nearest hospital or infirmary. Below the health bar is the Endurance bar. This bar shows you how much Endurance you have left to use your powers. Each time you activate or maintain a power, it eats up Endurance. If you don't have enough Endurance to activate or keep up a power, then you will see the text 'Too Tired,' and you will have to wait until you have Endurance enough again to use your power.

NOTE: If you are a Brute or Dominator Archetype you will have a third bar, a Rage Meter for Brutes and a Domination Meter for Dominators, below your Endurance bar. Check the manual or in-game Help files to understand these Meters better.

To activate your powers in combat, you simply click the icon in your Power Bar.

If you want to practice using your powers, you can click on any of the police drones behind me to target them, then execute your powers on them. You can open your Powers Window and place new powers into your Toolbar by clicking the Powers button on the Toolbar.

After practicing go see my pal Blake and he'll tell you how you can enhance your powers.

Blake is down the hole in this room.

Mission Objective(s)

Briefing

After this conversation find Morben to learn more about Enhancements

I see my pal Caze showed you how to use your powers, that's good, now I'll teach you about Enhancements.

Enhancements are additions to your powers that make them work at better effectiveness by 'Enhancing' a specific aspect of your power.

If you click the word Enhancements above your Power Bar, you will bring up an inventory of Enhancements you are currently carrying. If you click the word Manage above that, you will be able to 'slot in' Enhancements into your powers.

On the Management screen you can try slotting in the Damage Enhancement you received earlier. Simply drag and drop it into any legal (green) Enhancement Slot.

To learn more about Enhancements, including the Levels and how they affect their power, consult the Help file or the Manual.

Now go see Morben and he can explain how to combine Enhancements to make them stronger.

Mission Objective(s)

Briefing

After this conversation seek out your next contact Sakai Tamaki

It's possible you have a great future within Arachnos, Character. So don't screw it up. Something you should know is that you can extend the life of Enhancements by combining identical ones. You do this by clicking the Power Name in the Enhancement Management screen. There you can pick the slotted Enhancement you want to combine, and then pick either an Enhancement in your Inventory or another one in the same power and click Combine.

Your chance of combine success depends on the differences in level between the two Enhancements. Any Enhancement can only be combined twice. Every time an Enhancement is combined it gains a +, extending its life by 1 level. If it has ++ it can not be combined any further and must be replaced instead.

I've given you another Damage Enhancement so you can practice Combining if you want.

Now you must go out into the Yard and talk to Tamaki. He has been in direct contact with Arachnos and can explain the situation further.

To get to the Yard, exit the sewers through the grates at the end. If you're destined for greatness, this is your first step.


You received Training: Damage.

Mission Objective(s)

  • Go to Sakai Tamaki

Briefing

Lord Recluse, the most glorious leader of Arachnos, thinks that you may be a predestined soul. His Fortunata, Kalinda, has seen that you may well be one of those who can lead Arachnos to eventual victory over the heroes of Paragon City. We'll see about that. From what I hear, you still have a lot to learn, and even Kalinda isn't sure exactly who her prophecy pertains to. She just knows they're here in the Zig. I've been instructed to issue you a test of your combat abilities. If you pass, then you will be escorted to Mercy Island. Then Kalinda can test you for herself.

Click on ask about available missions to proceed.
