Defeat Warriors to find location of Dr. Archos (25-30)

Briefing

A prominent archaeologist, Dr. Maximillian Archos has been kidnapped by the Warriors. He seemed to be onto something involving Oranbega, the lost city of the Circle of Thorns that's buried underneath Paragon City. I don't have a lead on where Archos is being held, but You should 'interview' some Warriors and see if any of them know where he is being held.

Mission Acceptance

When I say 'interview', I mean engage in combat and defeat, in case you didn't catch my meaning.

Ambush

There may be a Circle of Thorns ambush after the mission is accepted.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Eventually one of the Warriors you defeat will talk.

Clue
Captured Warrior's Story

A captured Warrior told you:

'We heard about that Archos guy. Hey, if he knows how to get the layout on this Oranburger place, fine! Them Circle a' Thorns jerks have been messing with us too long. We figure we can pay 'em back in person and get some stuff to sell while we're at it, all the better. I'll tell you where Archos is. You don't have to get rough.'

Rescue Dr. Archos

Unnecessary Solicitation

You have the location? Good, now go free him from their clutches before they can learn anything from him.

Mission Objective(s)

The information you've gathered tells you that the Warriors are keeping Dr. Archos here while they try to get all the information they can from him.

Clue
Location of Oranbega Map Room

After you freed him from the Warriors, Dr. Archos told you:

Yes, I know a great deal of Oranbega. I'm grateful that you could protect me, those Warrior fools were trying to pry out what I've learned. I have discovered not just an entrance to Oranbega that the Circle knows nothing about, but down on those lost streets I've discovered something else. A map room that details the layout of the entire city! I can tell you how to get there.

Defeat lead mystic, his coven

Unnecessary Solicitation

The Doctor is right, locating this map room could change the nature of the battle against the Circle of Thorns.

Mission Objective(s)

As you enter the Map Room, you found no trace of Dr. Archos, but many signs of the Circle's minions. You can only assume he's trapped deeper inside.

  • Defeat lead mystic, his coven
    • Find the map

You realize the map you found is a fake. Dr. Archos had lead you into a trap.

Clue
False Map of Oranbega

This map of the Lost city of Oranbega seems quite accurate at first, but as you look at it the map begins to fade away. It's some sort of fake!

Clue
Betrayal

You realize now that Dr. Archos had set a trap for you. A member of the Circle of Thorns, he had allowed himself to be kidnapped so that he could give false information about a map room of Oranbega to you upon his rescue. He obviously planned to defeat and capture you once they had you deep within Oranbega.

Debriefing

I can't believe it. Dr. Archos was a Circle agent all along. The entire thing was a set up to catch you in Oranbega on the promise of a map that probably never existed. The Circle has played us all for fools, but I'm just glad you were able to win through.
