They call me Dobbs, 'cause that's my name. I'm a professional exterminator. Yah, I know it don't sound too glamorous, but I provide a vital service here in [[Grandville]]. I guess you can call me a 'big game hunter' amongst exterminators, 'cause I hunt one of the nastiest pests around: [[Arachnoids]].

You heard of 'em? You might have seen 'em around [[Grandville]], crawling around, occasionally nabbin' some unsuspectin' citizen. There's a whole mess of 'em here in the Gutter, which is why I made this place my regular stompin' grounds. These 'Rachnoids been called men, mutants, monsters - whatever. I calls 'em as I sees 'em, and I call 'em pests!

This is an Arachnoid tissue sample you found in a makeshift laboratory. You picked up up as a reminder of a tale you like to call:


'''The [[Arachnoids|Arachnoid]] Cure'''
'''The Arachnoid Cure'''


It all started when you did a job for Terrence Dobbs clearing out an [[Arachnoids|Arachnoid]] nest. The [[Arachnoids]] were a lot more organized than normal, having taken out a previous [[Arachnos]] assault squad and using ambush tactics. Deep in their lair you found a tattered note from someone named [[Arachnoids#Biff|Biff]] telling that a cure was coming soon and to hold out as long as they could. [[Arachnoids#Biff|Biff]] was being protected by someone named Slicer-Dicer. Dobbs didn't like this situation one bit!

Biff was being protected by someone named Slicer-Dicer. Dobbs didn't like this situation one bit!


Dobbs did a bit of asking around and found out that Slicer-Dicer was a [[Freakshow]] gang leader out of [[St. Martial]]. You invaded the [[Freakshow]] hideout and found a lab containing [[Freakshow]] parts, [[Arachnoids|Arachnoid]] samples and research papers. Apparently, [[Arachnoids#Biff|Biff]] was working on a way to cure the [[Arachnoids|Arachoid]] condition so they might become human again! Dobbs didn't like this news either, since no [[Arachnoids]] meant no exorbitant pest control pricing!

Dobbs didn't like this news either, since no Arachnoids meant no exorbitant pest control pricing!


Dobbs sent you to take care of [[Arachnoids#Biff|Biff]] once and for all! You headed into the tunnels where [[Arachnoids#Biff|Biff]] was talking with his [[Arachnoids|Arachnoid]] allies to discover that [[Arachnoids#Biff|Biff]] himself was an [[Arachnoids|Arachnoid]]! In the end he pleaded with you to let him go, saying he would make it worth your while... and you did what you thought was best!

'''Briefing'''
 
Okay, I got another job for ya. There's another nest of 'em [[Arachnoids]] in - surprise, surprise - some caves underneath [[Grandville]].  Some [[Arachnos]] troops went in to cull them back a bit, but they got wiped out to the man!  Somethin' about an ambush, about how they were set up - whatever!  [[Arachnoids]] may be fast and strong, but they ain't smart enough to take down trained [[Arachnos]] troops like that.  I think it was some mistake on the part of the [[Arachnos]] commander, they just don't want to admit that! {{green|Head over to the [[Arachnoids|Arachnoid]] tunnels and wipe out that nest!}}
 
* {{green|Clear out Arachnoid tunnels}}


'''Souvenir:''' Arachnoid Webbing
Smart [[Arachnoids]] - hah!  That'll be the day.


This is a piece of sticky webbing taken from an Arachnoid cocoon. You got it as a reminder of a tale you like to call:
'''Unnecessary Solitication'''


'''Arachnoid Appetizers'''
C'mon, c'mon!  What you waitin' for?  Clear out those Arachnoid tunnels so we can get on to the next job!


It all started when Terrence Dobbs asked you to help clear [[Arachnoids]] out of an [[Arachnos]] research lab. You went in there and managed to rescue one of the research scientists, Doctor Weisen, who mentioned how Executioner Garrod had been taken by the [[Arachnoids]].
{{Mission Objective|Entrance=You hear the skittering of the [[Arachnoids]] go strangely silent as you enter their tunnels.|Primary=Defeat all Arachnoids|Secondary=|Additional=|Completion=You cleared out the Arachnoid tunnels!}}


Dobbs spoke with [[Arachnos]], and they stated they wanted their soldier back. Dobbs sent you to speak with [[Regent Korol]], who informed you how [[Arachnos]] tracked some of their more valuable assets through the use of implanted homing beacons, a little trick they picked up from [[Crey]] Industries. She gave you a tracking device to lead you right to where Executioner Garrod was taken.

You broke into the Arachnoid tunnels and found a number of people held captive in cocoons, presumably to be eaten! You managed to find Executioner Garrod in the end, freeing him from the webbed nightmare of the [[Arachnoids]].

'''Souvenir:''' Altered [[Arachnoids|Arachnoid]] DNA
* [[Arachnoids#Super Arachnoid|Super Arachnoid]] ([[Boss]])


This is a sample of altered [[Arachnoids|Arachnoid]] DNA that [[Crey]] Industries was fooling around with in a tale you like to call:


'''Building a Better Vermin'''
{{Ambush|As you progress through the mission, you will be ambushed '''at two separate points''' by Arachnoids<br />
''"HKREEEE!''}}


It all started when Terrence Dobbs asked you to help cull some of the [[Arachnoids|Arachnoid]] population down in the Gutter of [[Grandville]]. Dobbs thanked you for your assistance, but commented on how he wish he had a better weapon for dealing with [[Arachnoids]].
{{Ambush|Upon reaching 75% HP, Super Arachnoid will summon three waves of Arachnoid ambushes.<br />
''"SKREEEEEEE!"''}}


Dobbs heard from one of his contacts that [[Crey]] was working on some bio-weapons at one of their labs in [[Cap Au Diable]], and wanted you to break in and see if you could find anything to use against the [[Arachnoids]]. You found a weapon alright, along with indications that [[Crey]] was doing extensive research on Arachnoids!


Dobbs wanted to find out more, and sent you to investigate some caves under [[St. Martial]] where [[Crey]] supposedly was conducting field tests. You found a number of Crey there in some [[Arachnoids|Arachnoid]] tunnels, as well as a tagged [[Arachnoids|Arachnoid]] marked as a research subject!


Dobbs sent you to check out the [[Crey]] office nearby the [[Arachnoids|Arachnoid]] tunnels found on [[St. Martial]]. There, you found research files detailing how [[Crey]] was developing [[Arachnoids|Arachnoid]] countermeasures to deal with any [[Arachnos]]-controlled threat, as well as developing a new strain of [[Arachnoids]] which [[Crey]] could use as shock troops!
{{Mission Clue|Name=The Tattered Note|Text=This tattered note is almost incomprehensible scrawling, but you can make out: 'Cure coming soon. Hold out against intruders. Slicer-dicer will protect me.' It's signed by someone named Biff.}}


Dobbs felt he was in over his head, and so decided to turn matters over to [[Arachnos]]. He got you take all the evidence to [[Arbiter Daos]], who decided to enact protocols to shut down the [[Crey]] [[Arachnoids|Arachnoid]] research operations.


[[Arbiter Daos]] sent you to the main [[Crey]] research facility in [[Paragon City]] to deal with the [[Crey]] scientist responsible for the [[Arachnoids|Arachnoid]] research project and destroy their main database. Having dealt with the [[Crey]] threat to [[Arachnos]] security, Arbiter Daos gave you his thanks.

Wha-a-t?  [[Arachnoids]] settin' traps and ambushes?  Talkin'?  Ah geez, I don't like this one bit.  And who is this [[Arachnoids#Biff|Biff]] who's sendin' notes to the [[Arachnoids]]?  And who's Slicer-Dicer?  I better look into this!

Those [[Arachnoids]] get into everywhere! I just got word that a bunch of 'em snuck aboard a cargo ship heading to [[Paragon City]]. I think [[Arachnos]] wants to keep their problems to themselves, 'cause I just got a call from 'em asking me to take care of the problem before the heroes find out. Head over to [[Paragon City]] and get rid of those [[Arachnoids]]!
Okay, I got some more news on those [[Arachnoids]] working with that guy named [[Biff]]. The note you found in the [Arachnoid tunnels said Biff was being protected by a guy named Slicer-Dicer. I asked around and found out Slicer-Dicer is a [[Freakshow]] gang leader from [[St. Martial]]! {{green|Raid the Freakshow hideout and find out what you can about Biff!}}

* As you rescue each Bane Spider Commando, you will have the option of leading him to the cave entrance to escape.  You do not gain any experience or other reward for doing so.  Strategically, it is best to keep the Bane Spider Commandos with you until you have rescued all captured allies, and then lead the entire group to the mission entrance to complete the mission.  The allies will help you defeat enemies, and your character and/or team will receive full experience for any enemies the allies harm and defeat.

=== Take down rival exterminator ===
'''Altered Arachnoid DNA'''
 
This is a sample of altered [[Arachnoids|Arachnoid]] DNA that [[Crey]] Industries was fooling around with in a tale you like to call:
 
'''Building a Better Vermin'''
 
It all started when Terrence Dobbs asked you to help cull some of the Arachnoid population down in the Gutter of [[Grandville]]. Dobbs thanked you for your assistance, but commented on how he wish he had a better weapon for dealing with Arachnoids.
 
Dobbs heard from one of his contacts that Crey was working on some bio-weapons at one of their labs in [[Cap au Diable]], and wanted you to break in and see if you could find anything to use against the Arachnoids. You found a weapon alright, along with indications that Crey was doing extensive research on Arachnoids!
 
Dobbs wanted to find out more, and sent you to investigate some caves under [[St. Martial]] where Crey supposedly was conducting field tests. You found a number of Crey there in some Arachnoid tunnels, as well as a tagged Arachnoid marked as a research subject!
 
Dobbs sent you to check out the Crey office nearby the Arachnoid tunnels found on St. Martial. There, you found research files detailing how Crey was developing Arachnoid countermeasures to deal with any [[Arachnos]]-controlled threat, as well as developing a new strain of Arachnoids which Crey could use as shock troops!
 
Dobbs felt he was in over his head, and so decided to turn matters over to Arachnos. He got you take all the evidence to [[Arbiter Daos]], who decided to enact protocols to shut down the Crey Arachnoid research operations.
 
Arbiter Daos sent you to the main Crey research facility in [[Paragon City]] to deal with the Crey scientist responsible for the Arachnoid research project and destroy their main database. Having dealt with the Crey threat to Arachnos security, Arbiter Daos gave you his thanks.

Broker

Level 40-44

Contact Introduces

I've got someone you should meet.
or: There are some people who would like to meet you.

Level 40-44

I know a strange man, an employee of AeonCorp, named Dr. Forrester. He's in Grandville doing some science for Arachnos and is looking for a lab assistant.

Dr. Forrester is kind of crazy, but then again, I guess that's why they call them mad scientists.

There is this woman—if you can call her that—known as Regent Korol. She is a Tarantula Queen, one of the transformed Fortunatas. She has need of some people to do her bidding.

Regent Korol doesn't think the way most people do. That's not surprising, considering what she has become.

Westin Phipps is the proprietor of Haven House, a place in Grandville that helps the helpless and downtrodden. Only, that's not really his job. Phipps is an agent of Arachnos, and his job is to find out what's giving hope to the hopeless and oppressed, and then have that source of hope destroyed. He may be the cruelest man I have ever met, but he always has things that need to get done.

As long as you want to keep normal people hopeless and ground down beneath the heel of Arachnos, Phipps is the guy to do it.

Level 40-44

I was wondering if you might be interested in meeting one of the rising lights in the field of mad science? He's only a lab assistant at the moment, but I think Vernon von Grun will make mad scientist soon enough, and I think your unquestionable skill at harming others would be a big asset to his schemes. Interested?

Very good. Vernon currently works for Operative Grillo on a sub-section of Project: FURY involving plant/human hybrids and reverse evolution.

Information

Professional Exterminator

Terrence Dobbs is a professional exterminator specializing in Arachnoids. He's always looking for new recruits to help him keep the Arachnoid population down in Grandville.

Prior to Introduction

Do I know you? I don't think so, pal!

Initial Contact

They call me Dobbs, 'cause that's my name. I'm a professional exterminator. Yah, I know it don't sound too glamorous, but I provide a vital service here in Grandville. I guess you can call me a 'big game hunter' amongst exterminators, 'cause I hunt one of the nastiest pests around: Arachnoids.

You heard of 'em? You might have seen 'em around Grandville, crawling around, occasionally nabbin' some unsuspectin' citizen. There's a whole mess of 'em here in the Gutter, which is why I made this place my regular stompin' grounds. These 'Rachnoids been called men, mutants, monsters - whatever. I calls 'em as I sees 'em, and I call 'em pests!

I'm lookin' for a few hearty souls to help me put those critters in their place, so if you're looking for a good ol' fashioned bug hunt, stick around!

Greeting

  • Yo, Character! Got some work for ya.
  • Hey, how ya doin'?
  • Hey Character! Good to see ya!

Too Busy

Come back to me when you finish up some of your other work, Character!

No More Missions

The Arachnoid Cure

Merit Rewards: This activity awards 7 Reward Merits.

Souvenir

Arachnoid Tissue Sample

This is an Arachnoid tissue sample you found in a makeshift laboratory. You picked up up as a reminder of a tale you like to call:

The Arachnoid Cure

It all started when you did a job for Terrence Dobbs clearing out an Arachnoid nest. The Arachnoids were a lot more organized than normal, having taken out a previous Arachnos assault squad and using ambush tactics. Deep in their lair you found a tattered note from someone named Biff telling that a cure was coming soon and to hold out as long as they could. Biff was being protected by someone named Slicer-Dicer. Dobbs didn't like this situation one bit!

Dobbs did a bit of asking around and found out that Slicer-Dicer was a Freakshow gang leader out of St. Martial. You invaded the Freakshow hideout and found a lab containing Freakshow parts, Arachnoid samples and research papers. Apparently, Biff was working on a way to cure the Arachoid condition so they might become human again! Dobbs didn't like this news either, since no Arachnoids meant no exorbitant pest control pricing!

Dobbs sent you to take care of Biff once and for all! You headed into the tunnels where Biff was talking with his Arachnoid allies to discover that Biff himself was an Arachnoid! In the end he pleaded with you to let him go, saying he would make it worth your while... and you did what you thought was best!

Clear out Arachnoid tunnels

Briefing

Okay, I got another job for ya. There's another nest of 'em Arachnoids in - surprise, surprise - some caves underneath Grandville. Some Arachnos troops went in to cull them back a bit, but they got wiped out to the man! Somethin' about an ambush, about how they were set up - whatever! Arachnoids may be fast and strong, but they ain't smart enough to take down trained Arachnos troops like that. I think it was some mistake on the part of the Arachnos commander, they just don't want to admit that! Head over to the Arachnoid tunnels and wipe out that nest!

  • Clear out Arachnoid tunnels

Smart Arachnoids - hah! That'll be the day.

Unnecessary Solitication

C'mon, c'mon! What you waitin' for? Clear out those Arachnoid tunnels so we can get on to the next job!

Mission Objective(s)

You hear the skittering of the Arachnoids go strangely silent as you enter their tunnels.

  • Defeat all Arachnoids

You cleared out the Arachnoid tunnels!

Enemies

Arachnoids

Notable NPCs


Ambush! As you progress through the mission, you will be ambushed at two separate points by Arachnoids
"HKREEEE!

Ambush! Upon reaching 75% HP, Super Arachnoid will summon three waves of Arachnoid ambushes.
"SKREEEEEEE!"


Clue
The Tattered Note

This tattered note is almost incomprehensible scrawling, but you can make out: 'Cure coming soon. Hold out against intruders. Slicer-dicer will protect me.' It's signed by someone named Biff.


Debriefing

Wha-a-t? Arachnoids settin' traps and ambushes? Talkin'? Ah geez, I don't like this one bit. And who is this Biff who's sendin' notes to the Arachnoids? And who's Slicer-Dicer? I better look into this!

Find out truth behind Biff

Briefing

Okay, I got some more news on those Arachnoids working with that guy named Biff. The note you found in the [Arachnoid tunnels said Biff was being protected by a guy named Slicer-Dicer. I asked around and found out Slicer-Dicer is a Freakshow gang leader from St. Martial! Raid the Freakshow hideout and find out what you can about Biff!

Mission Acceptance

I want to know why this guy Biff is protecting these Arachnoid creatures!

  • Find out truth behind Biff

You found out about Biff yet? Then get going!

Mission Objective(s)

Who's Biff and why is he helping the Arachnoids? The Freakshow here might know the truth!

  • Find out truth behind Biff
    • Find clue
    • Defeat 5l1c3r-D1c3r

You found the truth behind Biff!

Enemies

Freakshow

Notable NPCs

Clue
The Freakshow Deal

Sounds like Biff was helping the Freakshow service their cybernetic replacements while they provided him a safe place to do his research.

Clue
Biff's Research Notes

Amongst the bits of Freakshow cybernetic parts and Arachnoid tissue samples you find these research notes. These notes are written in the same scrawling hand as the note you found in the Arachnoid tunnels. From scanning the notes you get the idea that Biff is attempting to find a cure for the Arachnoid condition!

5l1c3r-D1c3r dialogue

Debriefing

Oh, great. That's just great! This Biff joker is actin' like some sorta 'friends of the Arachnoids', and we're gonna lose our bread and butter if he succeeds! We gotta take care of this jerk before he finds this cure he's lookin' for...

Take down Biff

Briefing

We gotta deal with this Biff fella! We can't have him organizing the Arachnoids to fight against us, or worse yet, finding a cure for their condition! It'd put me out of business, and I'm not about to let that happen, y'know? Head into the Arachnoid tunnels and take down Biff!

This Biff sounds like one clever Arachnoid, and I get he's pretty tough if he's getting the other Arachnoids to listen to him. You might need to put together some kind of heavy-duty team to take down Biff!

I'm sure there's something inherently inhumane about this, but I'm just a businessman. You know how much my operating costs are? And the rent in Grandville is killer!

Unnecessary Solicitation

C'mon, c'mon! Take down Biff! The fact that he's out there working on a possible cure for the Arachnoid condition makes me nervous as heck!

Mission Objective(s)

Somewhere within the Arachnoid tunnels is Biff! Take him down for Dobbs!

  • Find Biff and his allies
    • Deal with Biff and allies

Failure - You allowed Biff to escape, but he left behind a weapon cache!
 Success - You took down Biff!

Note: Biff will run away to the exit door when his health reaches 50% health. As an Arachnoid, and as a Elite Boss, he will be very difficult to stop as he runs so fast, and has so much hitpoints. If you wish to stop him, have a method to stop or slow him down, such as Air Superiority, for example, or bring many friends with you.

Debriefing - Mission Failure

Y-you let Biff get away? What are you trying to do here? I thought I hired me a high quality merc, not some amateur! You ain't goin' soft on me, are ya?

Debriefing - Mission Success

You took care of Biff, eh? I feel a bit guilty about takin' down the Arachnoids last chance to regain humanity, but I'm comforted by the fat cash I'm going to be raking in while I exterminate them.

Arachnoid Appetizers

Merit Rewards: This activity awards 5 Reward Merits.

Souvenir

Arachnoid Webbing

This is a piece of sticky webbing taken from an Arachnoid cocoon. You got it as a reminder of a tale you like to call:

Arachnoid Appetizers

It all started when Terrence Dobbs asked you to help clear Arachnoids out of an Arachnos research lab. You went in there and managed to rescue one of the research scientists, Doctor Weisen, who mentioned how Executioner Garrod had been taken by the Arachnoids.

Dobbs spoke with Arachnos, and they stated they wanted their soldier back. Dobbs sent you to speak with Regent Korol, who informed you how Arachnos tracked some of their more valuable assets through the use of implanted homing beacons, a little trick they picked up from Crey Industries. She gave you a tracking device to lead you right to where Executioner Garrod was taken.

You broke into the Arachnoid tunnels and found a number of people held captive in cocoons, presumably to be eaten! You managed to find Executioner Garrod in the end, freeing him from the webbed nightmare of the Arachnoids.


Defeat all Arachnoids in lab

Briefing

Okay, we got another Arachnoid attack on an Arachnos research lab. Arachnoid, Arachnos - you'd think those two would get along? Hehe - I kid, I kid! Head over to the research lab and clear out the Arachnoids!

Mission Acceptance

It's a fairly high-profile Arachnos research base. There's a few researchers there which are unaccounted for. See if you can find 'em.

Unnecessary Solicitation

C'mon, c'mon! Arachnos don't like to be kept waitin'!

Mission Objective(s)

You make your way to the research lab. Time to hunt some bugs!

  • Defeat all Arachnoids in lab
    • Rescue the scientist
    • Lead scientist out

You cleared out the Arachnos research lab!

Enemies

Arachnoids

Notable NPCs

Doctor Weisen dialogue
Clue
The Missing Executioner

One of the scientists you rescued from the Arachnos research lab said the Arachnoids carried off Executioner Garrod, one of the Arachnos Bane Spiders who were salvaging research data from the lab.

Debriefing

So those Arachnoids snatched one of the Bane Spider Executioners, eh? Yah, I'm pretty sure they'll pay a pretty penny to get their soldier-boy back!

Speak with Regent Korol

Briefing

Nice job clearing the Arachnoids out of that research lab. Arachnos definitely wants to get their kidnapped Executioner back, so it looks like we got another job. We can spend days scouring all the tunnels, but fortunately Arachnos has taken steps in case somethin' like this happens! Head over to talk with Regent Korol about tracking down Executioner Garrod.

Mission Acceptance

Korol's kinda creepy, but keeps track of all that goes on in Grandville. She'll know what to do.

Unnecessary Solicitation

You talk with Korol yet? Get goin'!

Mission Objective(s)

  • Speak with Regent Korol

Briefing

I sensed your approach, Character! I take it you are here in the matter of the missing Bane Spider? Yes, Arachnos has many ways of keeping track of our assets. Executioner Garrod was implanted with a homing beacon, a little trick we picked up from Crey Industries. Take this tracking device - it should show you exactly where you need to go.

Take care, my pet. Don't let the Arachnoids bite!

Clue
Tracking Device

This is a small handheld device used for tracking a particular homing beacon, in this case that of Arachnos Bane Spider Executioner Garrod.

Debriefing

Regent Korol hooked you up with a tracking device, eh? Good stuff! That's gonna save us a bunch of time huntin' this guy down!


Rescue Garrod from Arachnoids

Briefing

You still got the tracking device from Regent Korol? Good, good! Let's finish up this job! Head into the Arachnoid tunnels and get Executioner Garrod!

Mission Acceptance

Arachnos says the Arachnoids nabbed a whole Bane Spider unit, but only Garrod is the important one to rescue. Get him out of there - if those critters didn't eat him already!

Unnecessary Solicitation

What, you waitin' for those critters to eat Executioner Garrod or somethin'? Move it!

Mission Objective(s)

Find Executioner Garrod and get him out of here!

  • Rescue Garrod from Arachnoids
    • Lead Garrod out

You rescued Executioner Garrod!

Enemies

Arachnoids

Notable NPCs


Ambush! After freeing each hostage, you will be ambushed by two waves of Arachnoids, the first of which will include a Super Arachnoid
HKREEEEEE!

Debriefing

You got Executioner Garrod back? Good stuff! That'll get us in good with Arachnos! At least for a little while.

Notes

  • As you rescue each Bane Spider Commando, you will have the option of leading him to the cave entrance to escape. You do not gain any experience or other reward for doing so. Strategically, it is best to keep the Bane Spider Commandos with you until you have rescued all captured allies, and then lead the entire group to the mission entrance to complete the mission. The allies will help you defeat enemies, and your character and/or team will receive full experience for any enemies the allies harm and defeat.

Building a Better Vermin

Merit Rewards: This activity awards 13 Reward Merits.

Souvenir

Altered Arachnoid DNA

This is a sample of altered Arachnoid DNA that Crey Industries was fooling around with in a tale you like to call:

Building a Better Vermin

It all started when Terrence Dobbs asked you to help cull some of the Arachnoid population down in the Gutter of Grandville. Dobbs thanked you for your assistance, but commented on how he wish he had a better weapon for dealing with Arachnoids.

Dobbs heard from one of his contacts that Crey was working on some bio-weapons at one of their labs in Cap au Diable, and wanted you to break in and see if you could find anything to use against the Arachnoids. You found a weapon alright, along with indications that Crey was doing extensive research on Arachnoids!

Dobbs wanted to find out more, and sent you to investigate some caves under St. Martial where Crey supposedly was conducting field tests. You found a number of Crey there in some Arachnoid tunnels, as well as a tagged Arachnoid marked as a research subject!

Dobbs sent you to check out the Crey office nearby the Arachnoid tunnels found on St. Martial. There, you found research files detailing how Crey was developing Arachnoid countermeasures to deal with any Arachnos-controlled threat, as well as developing a new strain of Arachnoids which Crey could use as shock troops!

Dobbs felt he was in over his head, and so decided to turn matters over to Arachnos. He got you take all the evidence to Arbiter Daos, who decided to enact protocols to shut down the Crey Arachnoid research operations.

Arbiter Daos sent you to the main Crey research facility in Paragon City to deal with the Crey scientist responsible for the Arachnoid research project and destroy their main database. Having dealt with the Crey threat to Arachnos security, Arbiter Daos gave you his thanks.

Cull Arachnoids in Gutter

Briefing

How do you feel about doing some Arachnoid huntin' in the Gutter? They get so thick in there that we gotta cull 'em back sometime. If you're interested, you can head in and start thinning out Arachnoids.

Mission Acceptance

They can be cunning sometime, so watch out for ambushes!

Unnecessary Solicitation

You ain't killed enough Arachnoids yet. Get movin'!

Mission Objective(s)

  • Cull Arachnoids in Gutter
    • Defeat 20 Arachnoids

You culled enough Arachnoids

Debriefing

Nice work, Character! That oughta thin their numbers a bit!

There's gotta be a better way of dealing with those critters. Maybe some kind of new weapon...

Find chemical weapon in Crey lab

Briefing

Nice job cleaning out those Arachnoids in the Gutter. Y'know what I said about finding something to take out Arachnoids better? Well, I know Crey is always messing around with science and biology stuff. I heard from a buddy of mine that Crey's got a chemical research lab in Cap au Diable where they just got in a shipment of heavy-duty pesticides, so maybe we can find something that'll do the trick against these Arachnoids. Head over to the Crey lab and see if you can find anything I can use against Arachnoids.

Mission Acceptance

Crey makes all kinds of great experimental weapons. Finding a good general purpose gas weapon would be great!

Unnecessary Solicitation

You hit that Crey lab yet? Get goin'!

Mission Objective(s)

There's gotta be something good Dobbs can use against the Arachnoids. Find it!

  • Find chemical weapon in Crey lab
    • Find weapon reports
    • Find chemical weapon

You secured the chemical weapon!

Clue
Crey Arachnoid-X76 Gas Canister

The label on the gas canister says: 'Crey Arachnoid-X76 - For use against accelerated mutation type A-456 codenamed Arachnoid. HIGHLY TOXIC.' Apparently, Crey is quite versed in Arachnoid control already.

Clue
Crey A-X76 Field Test Reports

These are field report tests on the effectiveness of the Crey A-X76 gas on the A-456 test subjects, citing a favorably deadly effect. The field report tests give coordinates to caves underneath St. Martial.


Debriefing

W-whaaat? Crey's messin' with the Arachnoids? Underneath St. Martial? What the heck? I expected to find some good chemical weapons, but I didn't expect custom made 'Arachnoid-B-Gone' stuff! What the heck are they up to?

Clear out Arachnoid tunnels

Briefing

Well, I don't know why Crey is messin' with Arachnoids, but as long they're coming up with ways to put 'em down, I'm fine with that! Those field test reports point to Arachnoid caves under St. Martial, tho'! I don't like the fact that the Arachnoids are making their way off Grandville. We'd pest do a little bit of our own field testing! Head over to those Crey testing grounds and clear out those Arachnoid tunnels!

Mission Acceptance

If Crey's just finding a way to get rid of Arachnoids, it's all good. Somehow I don't think Crey is being all that benevolent.

Temporary Power: Arachnoid Gas (10 uses)

Power

Targeted Area of Effect Toxic

This gas is highly toxic, and is specifically designed to overcome Arachnoid resistances.

Unnecessary Solicitation

C'mon, Character! Check out those St. Martial tunnels!

Clue
Arachnoid Tag

This small tag was found stapled to the ear of the head Arachnoid. It says, 'A-456-053' along with the Crey Industries logo on it.

Debriefing

What the heck is Crey doing with these Arachnoids? I thought they were killin' the critters first, but if they're taggin' those things... I don't like the sound of this, Character!

Find files on Crey experiments

Briefing

So... I really don't like the fact that Crey is messin' around with the Arachnoids. Sure, they're coming up with heavy-duty pesticides to control 'em, but they're also doin' other types of experiments. Now, the last thing we need is Crey letting loose a bunch of super-duper Arachnoids with extra cheese onto the world if you know what I mean!

Let's find out more about what Crey is up to! There's a Crey building on St. Martial near the Arachnoid caves which might give us a good clue as to what they're up to. Head over there and ransack their files!

Mission Acceptance

I ain't an espionage kinda guy, but this is probably worth lookin' into.

Unnecessary Solicitation

C'mon, Character. This is huge! Find those files at the Crey lab!

Mission Objective(s)

The Crey lab is on full alert. Find those files!

  • Find files on Crey experiments

Clue
Crey Research on A-456

These are a series of files on the subjects known as A-456, otherwise known as Arachnoids. It looks like Crey has been doing research on the Arachnoids in an attempt to make a trained group of mutant shock troops while developing a series of countermeasures to any Arachnos-controlled Arachnoids. The project lead is a Crey scientist name Doctor Reaves base at a Crey tech facility in Paragon City.

Debriefing

Exterminate runaway Arachnoids

Take down rival exterminator

Briefing

So you think I'd have the local pest control market all locked up, right? There's this new guy named Charlie Biggs who has come to town and set up a rival extermination business! Now, I normally don't mind a bit of competition, but this guy is undercutting my prices by a huge margin. This won't stand!

I found out where the new guy is doing a job right now. Head over there and 'persuade' him to take his business elsewhere!

Say what you will about him, Biggs is a pretty heavy-duty exterminator. He might have a trick or two up his sleeve that'd even take you out, so you might want to grab a buddy to help you with this!
