Mission:The Dilemma of Diabolique

The Dilemma of Diabolique

Briefing

Diabolique was once bound to Emperor Cole by her amulet, Character. The item is an extremely powerful artifact, and I think I know what she plans to do with it. Mot must've known this all along... she must've been its trump card!

If I'm right, Diabolique is planning on merging herself with Mot by taking its power and putting it inside of the amulet! Character, if she does that, she'll be able to simply walk with Mot outside of the barrier we've constructed and release it back onto the world! Everything we worked for will be undone if this happens. We must launch another operation to rescue everyone trapped within Mot and destroy Diabolique. I have a plan, but it won't be easy.

We can't rely on another rally from the world to help us, and Mot's forces have increased dramatically quite suddenly. You'll need to find a large group of allies who would be willing to assault the very heart of Mot with you for one final time.

This mission requires that you run and complete the Dilemma Diabolique Incarnate Trial. You can find the Incarnate Trial on the LFG tab, located on the top of your chat bar. Select the Dilemma Diabolique trial and hit queue to enter into a line to join it.

• How are we going to destroy Diabolique?

I'm glad you asked. I have something that I think will work: the Dagger of Jocas. It... well... now it can be used to sever someone's powers, much like how I used it to shatter Rularuu's power and send it to the Shadow Shard.

I have a theory that, if I can get to Diabolique, I can sever her connection to Mot and the Well of the Furies.

Without this connection, Diabolique's spirit will literally evaporate, ending her once and for all. You'll need to go in there with a league of allies, save the Phalanx, Vindicators, and Praetor Duncan, then weaken Diabolique to the point where I can get close enough to end her!

I will do my best to help you with the assault, but to be honest, we'll be flying mostly blind against Diabolique and Mot on this one.

The Freedom Phalanx and Vindicators were absorbed by Mot in their efforts to free Praetor Duncan. You worked together with a team of superpowered individuals and Dream Doctor to save them and Praetor Duncan, while also destroying Diabolique once and for all.

Debriefing

Now, Character, it's finally over. I made sure to check Mot for any lingering pests... we're good now.

It seems like Praetor Duncan wants to work together with the people on Primal Earth against the Praetorians. I'm not going to get myself involved in that, but it seems like she's become desperate enough to switch sides.

We'll have to see how this all falls out, Character, but if I were you, I'd keep an eye on her. Ms. Liberty wants to trust her, but Duncan is the type of person who delights in manipulating people in such a manner.

I think now, you and I have earned a brief respite. Let's hope that no other sudden incidents crop up to cause an interruption, eh?
