Notable NPCs
- Manticore (Ally) (Elite Boss)
- Ms. Liberty (Enemy) (Elite Boss)
Mender Silos, a man who claims something beyond the good and evil you surround yourself with, sends you to Siren's Call to find Manticore. History tells him of a time when Manticore crossed the line from hero to villain. Silos believes that this point in history is key to determining what happens in the future and how to stop it. You go to Siren's Call and discover the Vindicators are there engaged in battle with Manticore. Never one to turn down a fight with Ms. Goody-two-shoes, you decide to aid Manticore. Afterwards, he looks you straight in the eye and says the funniest thing, 'take me to your leader.'
This should be interesting.
Aid Manticore against Sister Psyche
Briefing
Mender Silos: You don't have to hide your thoughts from me. I can see them all over your face. You don't believe Manticore would turn against his kind. Very well, I have just the place for you to go next. You will see who Manticore is willing to become.
Are you interested in seeing this transformation ?
Recluse made a proposal to Manticore: take out Sister Psyche. If you had difficulty believing Manticore would turn on his own, you'll likely find this even harder to believe. So, go back in time and see what this man who claims to be a hero did and then tell me, is it the actions or the intention behind them that makes us heroes or villains ?
Mission Objective(s)
- Capture Sister Psyche
You've found a hand written letter addressed to Character.
You've aided Manticore in capturing Sister Psyche.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Manticore (Ally) (Elite Boss)
- Sister Psyche (Enemy) (Elite Boss)
While time traveling into the past, you visit an Arachnos Base and in a crate you find a handwritten letter addressed to Character...
"While you have not yet met me face to face, I hope you've grown to see the truth to my words and begun to question your Ouroboros masters. You, of all people, should not be bound by their constraints. They have come all across the cosmos, disregarding the law of nature, but yet they bind you to the events they control.Have you noticed how they rarely send you into the future? What secret do they guard there that they don't want you to learn ?
Mender Silos gives you no choice. It is only I who offer you that simple right. All I ask in return is that you question him, question Ouroboros, question everything - even me. I expect nothing less from you. You are an individual of intellect who will see through their lies and once you do, you will find me at the end of it, offering you the truth you deserve. It is then and only then that we shall truly meet for the first time.
Until that time, I trust that you have found my letters and have taken them to heart.
Ultimately, the choice will be yours. As always, look for me in the Pillar. I will make myself known when the time is right.Travel well."
Debriefing
Well done. You've captured Sister Psyche. Now Lord Recluse will use her to power his Jade Spider. This of course, will kill her, nothing I'm sure you're too worried about. However, her death may well be what saves the world. I apologize if you find this mission morally ambiguous.
Lazarus was right about you. We did come to the correct time.
Trading Places
Part Finale
Briefing
The time has come. Recluse has made his assault on Siren's Call. From there he will sweep across Paragon and then the world. If my hypothesis is true, then he will succeed and in his success, he will actually save the world from annihilation.
Assault Siren's Call
Siren's Call will be the staging ground for the Arachnos assault. You must go there and aid Lord Recluse's army. There will be many trying to stop you, but you must succeed.
Mission Objective(s)
Of all the places you thought Arachnos could assault, Kings Row was not one of them.
Lord Recluse is building up to something big. But what?
- Aid Manticore in Kings Row
- 1 Raid Leader Left
- 3 Raid Leaders to Defeat
you have saved Kings Row from Arachnos. Return to Mender Silos for further instruction.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Arachnos Raid Leader (Tarantulas Tarantula Queen)
- Arachnos Raid Leader (Mu Mystics Mu Guardian)
- Arachnos Raid Leader (Bane Spiders Bane Spider Executioner)
- Arachnos Raid Leader (Crab Spiders Crab Spider Webmaster)
Ambush! After defeating each Raid Leader, there will be an ambush from Arachnos.
After you've defeated the Arachnos in Kings Row, Manticore approached you...
'You must leave me alone. I do not know who you are or where you come from. At first I thought Statesman had sent you, but now I see that is not the case. You've just gotten yourself mixed up in something that you best leave alone. I'm sorry, but you can't follow me down this path... no hero can.'
Debriefing
Did you speak with Manticore? What did he tell you? Ah yes, it was a warning for you to stay away from him. Where do you think he is going? What do you think he is doing?
Only time will tell.
Reward
Unlike the larger Task Forces, "Trading Places" is more like a Story Arc, and can be completed in about an hour. Consequently, it has no accomplishment badge, and offers only a Single Origin Enhancement reward instead of a Pool C Recipe.
