Merit Rewards: This activity awards 6 Reward Merits through Flashback only.
Briefing
There are a lot of reports coming out right now about Nemesis Army soldiers fighting each other. These aren't exercises, either; when these fights break out it's total war between the two sides. Nemesis' troops are normally a well disciplined machine, so I can't imagine what could be causing a rift among them, or why Nemesis would allow it to persist. There has to be more going on here. Either way, innocent people who get caught between the factions are getting hurt and that can't be allowed to happen. I've just received a report of a battle brewing in downtown Paragon City. I want you to stop the battle and make sure no innocents get hurt.
- Stop the battle between Nemesis Army factions and make sure no innocents get hurt
You'll want to take the Light Rail downtown. I've asked for an emergency force field to be set up around the area, but, even with the violence contained, there are lives at stake.
Protect people from Nemesis war
Unnecessary Solicitation
Tell me what you find, Character. I have a bad feeling that there's more to this than we know.
Mission Objective(s)
Broken glass and bullet casings litter the street.
- Protect people from Nemesis war
- 4 endangered citizens to save
Everyone's safe, but the papers you found leave you with more questions. You should confront Nemesis troops for more answers.
Enemies
These orders are written in English, but with a slightly different alphabet. You can still piece out that the orders seem to come from a source called 'Nemesis Rex', and they detail operations against the Nemesis Army. It seems more like part of a war of conquest than a civil war within Nemesis' ranks.
Defeat Nemesis soldiers for info
Ambush! An ambush by Nemesis forces will take place soon after this mission starts.
Unnecessary Solicitation
I think you have the right course of action. Some Nemesis trooper might have some more information about this 'Nemesis Rex.'
Mission Objective(s)
- Defeat Nemesis soldiers for info
- Defeat 20 Nemesis
You've pieced together enough information from defeated Nemesis Army soldiers to understand what's going on.
The information you've gathered from defeating Nemesis soldiers outlines a threat of vast proportions. Nemesis Rex is not a faction within the Nemesis Army, but is an invader from another dimension. In that world, Nemesis conquered the earth in the 1940s, and now rules the Earth with a draconian dictatorship. Nemesis and Nemesis Rex have clashed in past, but now Nemesis Rex has found our dimension and longs for a rematch.
Along with this background, you've also been able to piece the location of a forward base that might contain more information about the Nemesis Rex dimension.
Get dimensional coordinates
Unnecessary Solicitation
Another Nemesis from an alternate dimension where he took over the world? That's worse than I thought, but it fits what I know. If you can find the coordinates for Nemesis Rex's dimension in their forward base, Portal Corporation might be able to seal it off.
Mission Objective(s)
The interior of this building has been modified to make a forward base for the forces of Nemesis Rex.
- Get dimensional coordinates
- Find dimensional coordinates
The dimensional coordinates you found in the Nemesis Rex base seem legitimate, but will require verification
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Fake Nemesis Rex (Fake Nemesis)
- Imprisoned Scientist (non-escort hostage)
After you rescued Dr. Kelly Kellerfield from the Nemesis Rex forces, he told you:
'You heroes are just like my grandfather told me. The world I'm from, there are no heroes, just slaves beneath the heel of Nemesis Rex. I'm a dimensional physicist. Nemesis Rex has been researching dimensional travel ever since your Nemesis found our world and the two fought. I feel responsible for helping Nemesis Rex in his research, but you have to understand, he had my family hostage. Kendra's dead now, but I can get my revenge on Nemesis Rex by helping you. I'll give you the location of our dimension, right down to where our portal generators are.
'Now I hope you don't mind, but I have no plans of ever going back to that soul-crushing prison of a world.'
Ask Tina to verify coordinates
Unecessary Solicitation
Tina Macintyre can probably tell you if those coordinates are legitimate. If they are, then it might be possible to cut off that dimension completely.
Mission Objective(s)
- Ask Tina to verify coordinates
I've checked over the coordinates. We haven't sent a probe through, but they do appear to be real. Now that we know what to look for, we've found several dimensional transits that might originate from that place as well. Dr. Kellerfield's been very helpful to us as well, filling in details about their dimensional transit array. I think that we should be able to cut off their dimension, but we'll need to shut down their portals before their next mass transit, or else they may be able to keep their end open. Unfortunately, those modifications will have to be done over in their world.
You'll need to travel to the home dimension of this Nemesis Rex and alter his portal emitters, Character. I can only hope that you're up to the task.
These instructions tell you how to alter portal devices to disrupt the corridors between dimensions.
Disrupt portal devices
We have to disrupt travel between Nemesis Rex's world and ours. I feel bad for the people who are still trapped there, but it may be the only way to stop an invasion from that parallel world.
Mission Objective(s)
You hear the soft whirring of Nemesis Rex's high tech gadgets.
- Disrupt portal devices
- 6 portal devices to adjust
The portal devices have been altered. You need to leave before the gateway is closed forever!

Badge
Completion of this mission awards the True Nemesis Badge.
You have stopped Nemesis Rex's incursion into Primal Earth.
Debriefing
Portal Corporation is pretty certain that Nemesis Rex's world has been cut off for good, or at least until we want to open the connection again. I feel kind of bad for the people there. According to Dr. Kellerfield, it didn't sound like a great place to live. It does make you think about all that we've done, though. I've spent my whole career working against Nemesis. Sometimes it's felt impossible or futile, but I guess the fact that Nemesis Rex existed there and not here shows that it wasn't a waste, you know? I wonder, though, how many other worlds have been conquered by their version of Nemesis?
Version of Nemesis?
Ah, hell.
Hey, Character, I just had a thought: What if we were just used? What if we've just done Nemesis' dirty work for him? I mean, think about it. Our Nemesis knew about Nemesis Rex, right? A rival with nearly his own power, and with more resources. So what if he set us up to take Nemesis Rex out? Plans within plans are Nemesis' specialty. What if we were just caught in one? We did the right thing either way, I suppose. I just hate to think of Nemesis gloating about it.
