Overview

Mercy Island is the first place a villain goes after escaping from the Breakout tutorial zone. As a beginner-level zone, most of the enemies are levels 1 - 6.

This is the first zone that everyone in the Rogue Isles arrives at after making their break from prison. Here they meet their first contact (Kalinda or Matthew Burke) and begin to make thier presence known to the powers that be. They begin in an area called "Fort Darwin," which also plays home to their first trainer: Arbiter Diaz. They'll likely spend their first five to six levels running missions out of here for before picking up a new contact to the south. They tangle with large numbers of snakes, breaking the back of that group (at least on Mercy Island). Later missions take them to the area to the south called "Fort Cerberus."

Neighborhoods

• Darwin's Landing, the large neighborhood that forms most of the northern part of the zone.
• Fort Cerberus, the small Arachnos fort in the southeastern part of the zone. Ghost Widow's tower is located in this zone.
• Fort Darwin, the area where a villain starts his career in the Rogue Isles and that contains Kalinda and Arbiter Diaz.
• Mercy, the neighborhood south of the wall that, along with Darwin's Landing, forms most of the neighborhood.

Exploration Badges

Cesspool (-322.5, 67.4, -2656.5)

Many would-be villains have drunk their fill from the cesspool in hopes that it might grant super power. Mostly they go insane.

Chum (-4047.0, 6.3, -1853.5)

Just when you thought it was safe...

Fortified (-2496.5, 303.2, -439.0)

Arachnos built the wall around Mercy to keep it safe.

Snake Charmer (-384.5, 42.2, -1711.5)

This is the main entrance to the Snakes' underground lair. You really don't want to go down there.

The Next Big Thing (-1215.5, 239.0, -152.0)

This is the good life. The higher up you get, the bigger you are.

Widower / Widow (-3889.5, 407.0, 354.5)

They say that lonely tower is the home of Ghost Widow, Lord Recluse's phantom servant.
