Despite his efforts, he has been unable to retrieve his mother's artifact and has asked DJ Zero to get a group together who can find and recapture the girdle. This task requires the expertise of both heroes and villains alike. You should also check with Chilly or Dram upstairs and pick up some Dimension Drop powers to help you out! Find out where Arachnos is keeping Aphrodite's girdle.

Mission Acceptance

Alright Character, the Council have been keeping an eye on Arachnos and seem to know a bit about the artifact. Head into their outpost, take them out and go through their data banks to find out where Arachnos is hiding the girdle.
