He's especially interested in taking down the Clockwork and the Trolls. Wyatt's research has him in Steel Canyon these days.

Wyatt has a wealth of information.

There's a Hmong businessman named Kong Bao who's a real leader in his community. You should talk to him. I'm sure you'd find him quite helpful, especially when it comes to the Tsoo and the Circle of Thorns. Mr. Kong has strong ties to Skyway City.

You will be helping a great man, Character.

• Sgt. Suzanne Bernhard

I suggest you go speak to Sgt. Suzanne Bernhard in the street crimes division. She's a good person to know, especially when you're dealing with the Tsoo or the Council. Sgt. Bernhard works the desk in Skyway City.

Suzanne always has her eyes on the streets.

You should meet Tom Bowden. He's an NSA agent recently assigned to Paragon City. His first assignment is trying to crack the Clockwork puzzle, but he also has a chip on his shoulder for the Lost. Tom's government connections have him in Steel Canyon these days.

Tom is very focused, and knows what he is doing.

Have you ever met Vitaly Cherenko, the mystic healer? He's a walking hospital, only he uses magic instead of bandages. You should talk to him and see if you can help each other defeat the Tsoo and the Circle of Thorns. Vitaly can usually be found in Skyway City.

Many people don't understand the work Vitaly is doing, but that doesn't mean it's not important.

• Guy Denson

As long as you watch your step with Cho Ge, you will benefit from his knowledge.

• Maggie Greene

Maggie Greene is a class act and a good reporter. She'll do good by you. Her investigations have led her to focus on the Clockwork and the Trolls. Maggie files her reports in Skyway City.

Maggie has better instincts than almost anyone I know. Listen to her and you will have plenty of action.

You'd never guess it to look at her, but the sculptor Virginia Hoffman really knows a lot about what's going on in this town, especially with the Tsoo and the Circle of Thorns. You should talk to her. Ms. Hoffman lives in Steel Canyon these days.

Virginia is very eccentric, but she has a good heart and is really interested in doing the right thing.

Well done, Character. Master Thao will steer you straight.

Did you ever hear of the Red Tiger? He retired right after the war, and now he's just Jake Montoya. He may not wear a costume anymore, but he can sure help those who do, especially with information on the Clockwork and the Trolls. Jake has retired to Skyway City.

Jake has his eye out for new blood to take up the mantle of heroism.

• Karen Parker

Detective Karen Parker has a great reputation as a tough but fair-minded cop. If you're respectful and show her you're competent, I'm sure she'll be happy to work with you on the Tsoo and Council. Detective Parker investigates crimes out of the Skyway City precinct.

Detective Parker can be harsh, but only when it's warranted.

• Colleen Saramago

Do you have any contacts with Hero Corps yet? Even if you do, you should really talk to Colleen Saramago. I think she'd be happy to give you some assignments dealing with the Clockwork and the Trolls. Hero Corps has stationed Colleen in Steel Canyon.

Hero Corps has a very good information network.

• Warren Trudeau

FBI Special Agent Warren Trudeau would like to have a word with you. He's particularly eager to work with new heroes like you in combating the Tsoo and the Council. Agent Trudeau is on special assignment to Skyway City.

I think you will find Agent Trudeau to be very helpful.

Level 20-24

Jim is outspoken and opinionated, but he is extremely well informed.

• Dennis Ewell

Do you ever read Dennis Ewell's columns? He's quite a writer, and he told me he'd like your help taking out the Tsoo and the Warriors. Dennis has access to Training Enhancements.

Dennis isn't convinced that the heroes of Paragon City are much better than the villains, but he is coming around.

• Tyler French

There's an amazing guy named Tyler French who runs a youth sports program; it keeps troubled teens off the streets. He hears a lot and likes to help heroes out, especially with the Tsoo and the Warriors. Tyler has access to Training Enhancements.

Tyler is really great for the kids, Character. Help him out however you can.

• Amanda Loomis

The INS has a woman named Amanda Loomis who works well with heroes. She is trying to keep the Tsoo situation from turning any uglier than it already has, and she also has a deep interest in the Warriors. Amanda should be able to get you Training Enhancements.

Information

Reporter

Juliana Nehring is one of the city's most prolific and popular Internet reporters. She runs an independent news site that features articles about the subjects that most interest her. Her daring approach to journalism has won her national acclaim, although some criticize her for putting too much of herself in the story.

The Vahzilok Plague (15-19)

Souvenir

Hypodermic needle

A used needle may seem like a strange souvenir to some, but to you it's a reminder of one of your closest brushes with death, in an adventure you've come to think of as:

The Vahzilok Plague

It all started when your contact informed you of a deadly new Vahzilok disease. Eager to help, you went into the streets and the sewers to collect data on the diseased Vahzilok. But your heroism was not without its price. You learned that you had been infected with the deadly Vahzilok plague.

Your contact sent you to Professor St. John-Smythe for a cure. But when you arrived at the professor's labs, you found them under attack. You defeated the Vahzilok inside and saved the professor's colleagues, along with some of the precious serum they had concocted. Grateful for your help, one of the scientists used this needle to administer the cure.

Restored to full health, you ventured into the sewers once more, this time on a mission to incinerate the contaminated bodies. You came face to face with Dr. Vahzilok himself, but the mad doctor was not able to prevent you from ridding the world of his plague.

Take the scanning device and use it on any Vahzilok you see

Briefing

Look, the city council wants to keep this quiet. There's been a rash of mysterious illnesses in the past few days, and a few cases have already proved fatal. We're not sure what this disease is, but it's quite virulent. If something isn't done soon, we'll be living in a ghost town.

We do have good evidence that the illness is connected to the Vahzilok zombies. I need you to take this scanning device and use it on any Vahzilok you see. We need all the data we can get.

Mission Acceptance

Once you've defeated at least 15 of them, we should have enough data.

Unnecessary Solicitation

If you don't scan some more Vahzilok, we won't be able to use your data at all.

Here's the scanner. I hope you can find some good data for us.

Medical scanner

This small medical device was designed by the ingenious Jonathan St. John Smythe. When placed on a subject's skin, it scans the body for any infections.

Mission Objective(s)

• Scan Vahzilok for disease info
  • Defeat 15 Vahzilok

You have scanned enough Vahzilok.

Vahzilok data

This data contains information on the Vahzilok you defeated. It will be cross-referenced with previous scans to determine if these Vahzilok were carriers of the deadly new plague.

Debriefing

Thanks for scanning those Vahzilok, Character. If they were carriers of this strange new disease, this data will be invaluable.

The best minds in Paragon City are working on this data you collected from the diseased Vahzilok.

Eliminate the diseased Vahzilok and collect samples

Briefing

We had people all over the city scanning Vahzilok, but you got the best results. Based on your data, we think we've discovered where the diseased zombies are coming from! No surprises here; those walking disease factories have been hanging out in the most unhygienic place they could find: the sewers. I need you to eliminate the diseased Vahzilok and collect some samples of their tissue and blood.

Mission Acceptance

Get back to me as soon as you can, Character, and watch out for a Vahzilok they call the Boss Name. He's as nasty as they come.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I need those blood and tissue samples to keep this investigation on track.

Mission Objective(s)

On the way here, you passed some kids playing kick-the-can. They have no idea that the Vahzilok infection could soon be ripping through their neighborhoods like a forest fire.

• Eliminate all diseased Vahzilok
  • Find disease sample

You have located pure samples of the Vahzilok disease.

Vahzilok blood sample

These vials of foul-smelling, black blood should help determine the nature of the virulent Vahzilok contagion.

Notes

• The boss name can vary. Possiblities are Cutter, Doctor, Surgeon and Vivisector.

Enemies

Vahzilok

Notable NPCs

• Cutter/Doctor/Surgeon/Vivisector (Vahzilok Mire Eidolon)

Vahzilok Boss

Before Combat: No one can be allowed to interfere: do you understand?
Combat Start: These witless heroes for example!

Debriefing

Great work, Character! These samples are the disease in it's pure form. With these, we're sure to find an antidote. I'll get tests run on them immediately.

Take the diseased blood samples to Professor St. John-Smythe for final processing

Briefing

I'm sorry to say this, but you've been infected with the Vahzilok virus. Now, I don't want you to panic; it's at a very early stage, and we're already hard at work on a serum. If you could take these diseased blood samples to Professor St. John-Smythe for final processing, I'm sure he could give you a shot right away.

Mission Acceptance

If you start to feel woozy, whatever you do, don't go to sleep!

Unnecessary Solicitation

Get those samples over to the professor, Character. You are pushing your luck.

Temporary Power

Vahzilok Wasting Disease

Auto: Self -Regeneration, -Recovery, -Hit Points, -Endurance

You have been infected with the Vahzilok Wasting Disease. This disease, introduced by the Vahzilok, is slowly wasting you away. Find a cure, quick! Your maximum hit points, endurance, regeneration, and recovery have all been reduced.

Deliver samples to the professor

Mission Objective(s)

• Deliver samples to the professor

Jonathan St. John Smythe

Briefing

Thank goodness you're here! Our labs are under attack by Vahzilok zombies, and we need your help! If that lab falls to the Vahzilok, our hopes for a cure will be ruined!

Defeat Patient Zero and minions

Mission Objective(s)

Saving the scientists is the only hope you have of curing the Vahzilok wasting disease.

• Defeat Patient Zero and minions
  • 3 scientists to rescue

You have rescued the scientists and saved the labs. One of the scientists gave you a shot to cure you of the Vahzilok disease.

Scientist conversation

One of the scientists you rescued said:

'I'm glad you got here when you did. You just missed Dr. Vahzilok himself! He found half of our supply of the serum, and left to examine it. His minions would have found the rest in a few more minutes. Here, let me give you a shot. You'll be all right soon. But I'm afraid that Dr. Vahzilok will just alter his disease to make it resistant to our cure. I guess this proves that his so-called humanitarian motives are nothing but a crock. He can't be trying to cheat death if he's spreading killer viruses around.

Enemies

Vahzilok

Notable NPCs

• Patient Zero (Vahzilok Murk Eidolon)
• 3 Scientists (Hostages)

Vahzilok Patrol

Before Combat

Vahzilok Minion 1: Spread out and kill the lot of them!

Combat Start

Vahzilok Minion 1: Fresh!

Vahzilok Minion 2: Meat!

Rescued Scientists

Upon Rescue

Scientist 1: There aren't words to describe my gratitude, Character.

Scientist 2: You define bravery, Character.

Scientist 3: Listen! I have to tell you something!

Patient Zero

Before Combat: Dr. Vahzilok is very upset with Character's successes
Combat Start: Kill everyone. NOW!

Debriefing

So, Dr. Vahzilok's minions made off with some of the serum! If Dr. Vahzilok modifies his virus to resist that drug, we may not be able to step the epidemic!

Go to the sewers and incinerate every body you find

Doctor Vahzilok

Briefing

Now that Dr. Vahzilok has a sample of the antidote, it's only a matter of time before he can modify his virus and undo our work. However, I've analyzed all the data, and I think I have a very viable candidate for the ground zero of this entire outbreak. I'd like you to go down to the sewers and incinerate every body you find. If you can manage this, Character, you'll put an end to Vahzilok's evil plague forever!

Mission Acceptance

You must be careful, Character. Dr. Vahzilok himself knows about your involvement, and may try to stop you. You'll have to judge for yourself if you'll be strong enough to fight him, or if destroying the bodies is the better answer. Maybe we can put an end to this whole thing here and now, before the rest of the city gets infected.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Please put an end to this Vahzilok plague!

Mission Objective(s)

The hackles on the back of your neck stand on end.

• Put an end to Vahzilok plague
  • 4 bodies remaining. Defeat Dr. Vahzilok (Issue 12 Patch notes)

You have put an end to the Vahzilok plague.

Enemies

Vahzilok

Notable NPCs

• The Leech (Vahzilok Mire Eidolon)
• Doctor Vahzilok (Archvillain)

The Leech

Before Combat: We'll need more bodies up here to protect Dr. Vahzilok.
Combat Start: Dr. Vahzilok warned us you might try to stop him, Character!

Dr. Vahzilok

Before Combat: Prepare yourself, my loyal minions. I can sense our foe will be here soon.
Combat start: This is an emergency medical situation, and amateurs are only going to get hurt
At 75% Life: If you don't step aside, I'll treat you as I treat all infections. I'll wipe you from the face of the Earth.
At 50% Life: This is my mess. I'll clean it up.
At 25% Life: You fools don't understand my mission!
Defeated: No! My work must continue!

Debriefing

So, you actually came face to face with Dr. Vahzilok himself? Few people have done that and lived to tell the tale. It's interesting that he seemed to have the same goal as you: eradicating the deadly plague he had caused. I guess it's possible that Vahzilok really does care about the harm he causes.

Missions

Stop the Vahzilok from making off with Steel Canyon citizens (14-17)

Briefing

The neighborhood watch in Steel Canyon is reporting an increase in Vahzilok kidnappings. Someone has to stop the Vahzilok from making off with Steel Canyon citizens! I need you over there, on the double!

There have been recent incidents in Gimry Ridge and the Copper District. I recommend starting near those neighborhoods.

Mission Objective(s)

• Combat Vahzilok in Steel Canyon
  • Defeat 15 Vahzilok

Debriefing

It is every hero's job to keep our citizens safe from the Vahzilok. They are an enemy without mercy or regret.

Go to Boomtown and stop the Outcasts from harassing the populace (14-18)

Briefing

I guess you've heard that many of the Outcasts long for the life of a superhero. Well, in Boomtown, they've started acting out their fantasies. I've heard reports of Outcasts harassing civilians for small crimes such as littering, jaywalking, and riding bikes on the sidewalk. Nobody likes a jaywalker, but this is just too much! I want you to get over to Boomtown and stop the Outcasts from harassing the populace.

I'm hearing the most reports from Grenadier and the Cannonade. You should probably start in those neighborhoods.

Mission Objective(s)

• Combat Outcasts in Boomtown
  • Defeat 15 Outcasts

Debriefing

With their powers, many of the Outcasts could have found work as heroes. It's a pity that they chose a life of crime instead.

Go to Faultline and stop the Vahzilok raids (14-19)

Briefing

I've learned that the Vahzilok have been raiding the labs and medical centers in Faultline. In the last raid, they took a number of organs that were intended for transplants. You've got to get over to Faultline and stop the Vahzilok raids.

A lot of the raids have taken place in New Overbrook. Start looking for Vahzilok around there.

Mission Objective(s)

• Combat Vahzilok in Faultline
  • Defeat 15 Vahzilok

You have discouraged the Vahzilok from raiding Faultline's medical centers for human organs.

Debriefing

Thanks for putting down those Vahzilok raids. I'm sure Paragon City's medical community is as grateful as I.

Rescue the auction house workers (15-16)

Briefing

I just got word that the Outcasts have taken some hostages at an auction house over in Steel Canyon. There's a police negotiator on site, but the Outcasts are threatening to hurt hostages if any more officers show up. I need someone to rescue those auction house workers, and I think that someone is you. The Outcasts have been known to react better to heroes than to police. You only have 90 minutes to defuse the situation.

Mission Acceptance

The leader of those Outcasts goes by the name (random-boss). I need you to take him into custody.

Unnecessary Solicitation

That hostage situation needs to be defused before it descends into violence!

Mission Objective(s)

Normally, this auction house is a bustling place full of merry chatter. Now, a deadly silence hangs in the air.

• Arrest (random-boss) and his crew - 1:30
  • 5 hostages to rescue, 3 auction items to save

You defeated the Outcasts and rescued the hostages. You also found some interesting information.

Enemies

Outcasts

Notable NPCs

• Artifact for auction (Object) x3
• Auction house worker (Non-Escort Hostage) x2
• Police negotiator (Non-Escort Hostage)
• Beat cop (Non-Escort Hostage)
• Jennifer Dietrich, manager (Non-Escort Hostage)
• (random-boss) (Boss) (Lead Brick)

Hostages Dialogues

Upon Rescue

Auction house worker: I'll never forget this! Never!

Auction house worker: I'm so glad you came!

Beat cop: Thanks for the help. Here, you may be able to use this tear gas. And I found a ledger that might interest you.

Police negotiator: It's good to see you. Take this medical kit. You may need it. Also, I have some information for you.

Jennifer Dietrich, manager: Those stupid gangers knew we had a deal!

Outcasts attacking Artifact for auction

Before Combat

Outcast Torch: Make sure Dietrich knows she can't mess with us.

Outcast Torch: Flamewave says to bust up everything in the place.

Combat Start

Outcast Torch: We'll bust Character up good!

Boss Dialogue

Before Combat

Dietrich shouldn't have double crossed us.

Combat Start

I just don't have time for this today!

The negotiator's story

The police negotiator you rescued told you: 'These Outcasts are here on orders. One of them told me they came here to intimidate the auction house manager, Jennifer Dietrich. But he wouldn't say why.'

Ledger

The beat cop you rescued found this ledger in the auction house office. It shows that a number of expensive relics that been moved through this auction house. The profit from these sales has been channeled to an unnamed source. The funds from the last few transaction haven't been moved yet; they are still in the company's accounts.

A suspicious admission

When you rescued Jennifer Dietrich, the auction house manager, she said: 'I'm so glad you're here. Those stupid gangers almost ruined everything, and right before my vacation.'

Your conclusions

From the evidence you've gathered, it looks like Jennifer Dietrich's auction house has been fencing stolen artifacts for the Outcasts. It also appears that Dietrich planned to double-cross the Outcasts by leaving the country with a large chunk of the profits.

Temporary Powers:

The Beat cop will give you Tear Gas after being rescued. This power will expire when returning to the contact.

Tear Gas

Ranged (Targeted AoE), Foe Hold

A Tear Gas Grenade leaves foes in the effected area choking and helpless. You have 6 grenades.

The Police negotiator will give you a Med Kit after being rescued. This power will expire when returning to the contact.

Med Kit

Self Heal

This Med Kit allows you to heal ¼ of your hit points. The Med Kit has 8 uses.

Notes

• The name of the boss can vary.
  • Possible names are After Image, Buzz, Cage, Crackle, Fade, Loner, Night Strike, Razor, Sizzle, Storm, Stryke, and Volt.

Debriefing

You're right, Character, it does seem that the auction house manager was dealing with the Outcasts, then planned to double-cross them. I looked over the evidence you found. It's probably not admissible in court, but it might be enough to get a warrant. If we act fast, the police might be able to nab one more bad guy today.

Hit the streets and cull the numbers of the Vahzilok (15-19)

Briefing

Every time the Vahzilok population increases, so does the disease rate. The hospital wards are filling up, Character, and something has to be done. I want you to hit the streets and cull the numbers of the Vahzilok. Maybe that will get the city back on the mend.

Mission Acceptance

There are Vahzilok all over Faultline and Steel Canyon. I'd like you to start in those areas.

Unnecessary Solicitation

The hospital wards are still standing room only. If you can't defeat a few more Vahzilok, Paragon City may never be healthy again.

Mission Objective(s)

• Stop wave of illnesses
  • Defeat 15 Vahzilok

You have decreased the number of illnesses propagated by the Vahzilok.

Enemies

Vahzilok

Debriefing

You did a good job dealing with those Vahzilok, Character. Thanks to you, the hospitals are clearing out.

Recover the Talisman of Jiang Li (15-19)

Briefing

We've got a problem, Character. According to the mystics of MAGI, the Outcasts recently got their hands on the Talisman of Jiang Li. It's a powerful artifact that gives the bearer the power to incinerate those with righteous souls. I can't think of anyone more righteous than the heroes of Paragon City! If the Outcasts figure out how to use that talisman, every hero could be in danger! You've got to recover the Talisman of Jiang Li!

Mission Acceptance

Try seeking the Talisman in Boomtown or Steel Canyon. Those are the zones where the Outcasts usually hang out.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Have you found that talisman yet?

Mission Objective(s)

• Recover Talisman of Jiang Li
  • Defeat 15 Outcasts

On one of the fallen Outcasts, you found the Talisman of Jiang Li.

Talisman of Jiang Li

This evil talisman could easily be mistaken for a simple black pebble, were it not for the fact that it burns your hand.

Debriefing

Thanks for recovering this talisman, Character. If you hadn't acted quickly, the Outcasts might have figured out how to use it.

Defeat Outcasts in Steel Canyon (15-20)

Briefing

The Outcasts have claimed Steel Canyon as their territory, and are terrorizing the streets. It's going to take constant heroic action to keep them from cementing their hold on the entire zone. I need a hero who can get to Steel Canyon and show them that the streets don't belong to them..

Mission Acceptance

The Outcasts don't just think they're above the law, they think that they can make the laws now. If you can defeat about 20 of them, it should help to knock their egos down some. Good luck, Character.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Go to Steel Canyon and defeat Outcasts.

Mission Objective(s)

• Defeat Outcasts in Steel Canyon
  • Defeat 20 Outcasts

You have defeated out enough Outcasts to get your message through.

Enemies

Outcasts

Debriefing

Great job dealing with those Outcasts, Character. They're going to be a problem in Steel Canyon for a long time, but you've taught them a lesson today.

Recover the tome from the Vahzilok (15-20)

Briefing

I've learned that an Eidolon called (random-boss) has stolen the Tome of (random-god). She's holed up in the Yellow Rose Cosmetics office, along with a bunch of Vahzilok. There's no telling what will happen if they manage to translate that book. I need you to recover the tome from the Vahzilok. You only have 90 minutes to deal with the Vahzilok.

Mission Acceptance

The Tome of (random-god) describes a number of powerful ceremonies. I don't want the Vahzilok performing any of them!

Unnecessary Solicitation

I need you to recover that tome, and quickly!

Office Workers

Upon Rescue: Thanks for saving me! (random-boss) is insane!

Vahzilok Boss

Before Combat: Soon I will be beautiful again!
Combat Start: I will perform my ritual! Character must not interfere!

Tome of (random-god)

This tome is dedicated to the ancient god (random-god). It is written in an alphabet that you have never seen before.

Notes

• The name of the tome and the eidolon can vary.
  • Possible tome names are Bion, Hermes, Ignis, Phobos, Suzerain, and Telos.
  • Possible eidolon names are Carver, Dicer, Filleter, Hunter, and Slicer.

Debriefing

I've heard that the eidolons retain working brains and all the memories of their human lives. I guess the memory of being beautiful must have tortured (random-boss). So she decided to regain her lost looks by performing one of the rituals described in the Tome of (random-god).

It's sad, really. How could anyone trade her life, however short, for a hollow existence as one of Vahzilok's zombies?

Interrogate some Outcasts on the street (17-20)

Briefing

The Outcasts often move minor artifacts to anyone in the city interested in getting an edge. There's a rumor that they're planning a big auction of magical artifacts, but none of my sources have found anything concrete. Normally the Outcasts are big boasters; when they get quiet, I start to worry. I need someone to interrogate some of the Outcasts on the street. See if you can find out what's going on.

Mission Acceptance

The last thing this city needs is more dangerous mystic items in the hands of the wrong people.

Ambush! Upon acceptance of the mission, there will be an ambush by Outcasts.

Temporary Powers

During the mission some of the objects you retrieve can be useful against the villains:

Ring of Pain

Ranged, Foe -Defense, Self Damage over Time

The Ring of Pain is a dark device. It can severely reduce a target's defense at the cost of the owner's health. As the target's defense is lowered, you will continue to lose hit points until you deactivate the ring. The Ring of Pain can remain active for about 10 minutes before it is exhausted of its negative energy.

Scroll of Ruin

Ranged (Targeted Area of Effect), Foe -Defense

This incantation will drastically reduce the defense of all foes in the affected area. The affected foes become vulnerable and incredibly easy to hit. This scroll possesses powerful dark magics, and its effects are almost impossible to resist or avoid. The Scroll of Ruin can only be used once.

Artifacts

The artifacts you recovered seem to buzz with power, but you cannot deduce their purpose.

Debriefing

I'm glad you were able to stop this auction. The Outcasts have been putting a lot of these magic items out on the streets lately. They always seem to have a downside or a curse on them, but the Outcasts still seem to find ready buyers. I guess there are a lot of people in this city who are desperate for a little power.
