* The portal can also be used to enter some outdoor instance missions such as "Board Train". Using the portal to exit Ouroboros a player will get the normal selection of zones to travel to and one that places them inside that mission.
** These do not need to be time travel missions and every player on a team can use this option not just the owner of the mission.
* Villains can exit to [[Cap au Diable]], [[Sharkhead Isle]], [[Nerva Archipelago]], [[St. Martial]], [[Grandville]].
* The Ouroboros Echo Teleporter at the west end of the compound allows access to [[Echo: Rikti Crash Site]] and [[Echo: Dark Astoria]]; for heroes, it also offers access to [[Echo: Atlas Park]], [[Echo: Galaxy City]], and [[Echo: Faultline]].
* All players can access [[Cimerora]] from the exit portal, provided they have unlocked the ability to do so. Unlocking access requires either the [[History in the Making Badge]] or the [[Temporal Strife Badge]].

Trivia

  • An Ouroboros is the symbol of the dragon eating its own tail, which has existed for centuries throughout Norse, Greek, African, Hindu, and many other systems of mythology. It is also a central image throughout the novel "The Worm Ouroboros" by E.R. Eddison.
  • Flower Knight and an Ouroboros NPC can be found talking to each other in this zone. One such interchange includes the zone's pronunciation: "It's pronounced or-oh-boar-os."
  • Mender Lazarus tells players that time travel is limited to 5730 years forward or backward, calling it the Carbon Law. This is probably a reference to the half-life of wikipedia:Carbon-14, which is also 5730 years (±40).

Notes

  • This zone was added to the game for Heroes and Villains in Issue 11.
  • There used to be two separate Ouroboros zones, one for Heroes and one for Villains. They were merged into one co-operative zone in Issue 25.
