Level 30-34
My friend Tina Chung asked me to send you over. She's a high tech P.I. specializing in illegal technology, and she always needs heroes like you to help her investigate the Freakshow and Nemesis. She works primarily with technological heroes and has access to Invention and Gadget Enhancements.
Tina can be harsh, but she is good at what she does. Don't let her get under your skin; if you prove yourself, she will accept you.
You should introduce yourself to Jose Escalante, an important business man who helps heroes fight criminals who impact business and commerce, such as the Council and the Devouring Earth. He works mostly with mutants and has access to Focus and Genetic Alteration Enhancements.
Jose is the kind of person that has kept Paragon City running, despite all the disasters we've faced. We can all learn a lot from him.
Jenny Firkins is an environmentally conscious scientist who has a personal stake in bringing down the Devouring Earth and Crey. She is very dedicated to her work with science heroes and has access to Invention and Genetic Alteration Enhancements.
Jenny cares very much about Paragon City, Character. I think you will find working with her a pleasure.
Neal Kendrick has a lot of dirt on the Freakshow and Nemesis. He used to be with the FCC, but now he concentrates on helping heroes with their investigations. He works primarily with technological heroes and has access to Invention and Gadget Enhancements.
You will enjoy working with Neal. He is determined and skilled.
Allison King is psychic; She's quite adept at gathering information from people's minds. She has a great deal of knowledge about the Circle of Thorns and the Council. She works primarily with magic heroes, and has access to relic and focus enhancements.
Allison is kind, and caring. Take good care of her.
You might want to go introduce yourself to Lou Pasterelli. His politics are more than a little radical and he's had some run-ins with the authorities, but he can be a great help against the Devouring Earth and Crey. He works primarily with science heroes and has access to Invention and Genetic Alteration Enhancements.
Lou is a firebrand, but he knows how to get things done!
Peter Stemitz is an interesting case. People say the soul of an ancient shaman dwells within him. Both souls speak through Peter's body, which can be a little disconcerting. He has a great deal of knowledge about the Circle of Thorns and the Council. He works primarily with magic heroes, and has access to Relics and Focus Enhancements.
Be warned, Peter and the shaman will both speak to you. Expect the shift in speech.
Merisel Valenzuela is dedicated to freedom, especial freedom of information. She has many details on the Devouring Earth and the Council. She's very dedicated to her work with mutants and has access to Focus and Genetic Alteration enhancements.
Good luck with Merisel, I think you will find her point of view refreshing.
Level 35-39
Captain Gordon Stacy could really use your help. He has made himself unpopular by investigating Crey, and I'm sure he'd appreciate some back up. He works mostly with natural heroes and can offer Gadget and Relic Enhancements.
Crey is a very dangerous opponent, Character. Be ready for anything.
Information
Counter Terrorism Specialist
Phillipa Meraux used to be a hero herself. Known as Clandestine, she specialized in infiltrating terrorist cells and other covert groups. But during the Rikti War, all that changed. Phillipa was caught in some crossfire between the alien invaders and the Circle of Thorns; though she survived the blasts, her powers never returned. She retains many of her contacts from her days as a hero, along with all the expertise and knowledge she acquired on the streets of Paragon City. Today she uses that expertise to help other heroes continue her crusade.

Badge Mission
Merit Rewards: This activity awards 2 Reward Merits through Flashback only.
This mission is offered randomly, but not during the Story Arc, and therefore is usually one of the last from Phillipa.
Rescue the engineers and prevent the Rikti from bringing down the force fields
Briefing
Defend The War Walls
I need your help with a dangerous situation. A group of engineers was working on the War Walls near Talos Island when they were captured by the Rikti. The Rikti have attempted to bring down the War Walls before, and it they can stop the engineers from making their adjustments, they just might succeed. The good news is that the villains have been isolated in an emergency forcefield. The bad news is that it may not prevent them from affecting the War Walls. You've got to rescue the engineeers and prevent the Rikti from destroying the force fields that protect the city.
If you can't keep that equipment intact, I'm afraid it will be a huge failure.
Mission Acceptance
Defend The War Walls
If the War Walls fall, Paragon City will be ten times more vulnerable to a Rikti attack. You'll have to rescue all of the hostages and shut down any computer the Rikti have overridden. If the Rikti destroy all 3 of the scientist's machines, it could be a disaster. You'll have to make sure that each machine is safe, even after you've stopped the initial attack on it.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Defend The War Walls
I need you to rescue those engineers. If you don't find them soon, the Rikti will could bring down War Walls all across the city.
Mission Objective(s)
It's hard to believe that the weight of the War Walls now rests squarely on your shoulders.
- Stop Kenslet & Protect the machines!
- 8 engineers to save, 3 machines
Success: You defeated the Rikti and prevented them from destroying the force fields.
Failure: missing failure completion text
Notes
- The name of the Rikti leader can vary. Possible names include Kenslet, Onakti, and Tenekt.
- The machines do not appear until all 8 engineers have been saved.
- The mission owner will gain the badge regardless of success or failure. Teammates will gain the badge only upon mission success.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Kenslet (Rikti Chief Soldier)
- 7x Engineer (Non-Escort Hostage)
- Dr. Zweibell (Non-Escort Hostage)
Badge: War Wall Defender
Completion of this mission earns a hero the War Wall Defender accomplishment badge.
You foiled a plot to undermine the War Walls that protect Paragon City.
Debriefing
Success: Well, Character, you may have just prevented a major Rikti assault. According to those engineers you rescued, the Rikti needed to bring down the War walls in order to override the city's teleportation network. With that kind of transportation, we would have seen strike forces all over the city within hours. The people of this city sure owe you a debt of gratitude today.
Failure: Don't you worry. We'll rebuild. Paragon City is used to that. Those War Walls won't be damaged for long; you'll see.
Story Arc
Merit Rewards: This activity awards 17 Reward Merits.

Stop the Freakshow raid
Briefing
A bunch of Freakshow are running riot in a Crey-owned accounting office. I guess Crey's own security forces must be spread pretty thin, because they haven't been able to respond. Those Freaks will rip that place apart unless someone stops them. Do you think you can stop that Freakshow raid?
Mission Acceptance
The raid leader is a metal Freak named Mass Def. I'd like you to take him out if you can.
Unnecessary Solicitation
I want to know those Crey accountants are safe!
Mission Objective(s)
Panicked people, broken bottles, and crude laughter all point to the presence of the Freakshow.
- Defeat Mass Def and his men
- 3 hostages to save, Defuse the last bomb!
You have defeated the Freakshow, defused the bombs, and saved all of the hostages.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- 2x Hostage (Non-Escort Hostage)
- Mrs. Kimberly Kellerman (Non-Escort Hostage)
- Mass Def (Freakshow Champion Slicer)
After you rescued her from the Freakshow, Kimberly Kellerman told you: 'Thank you so much. It's strange, but I think that those Freaks were looking for me. I was so scared until you came. I have to call my husband and tell him I'm okay.'
Debriefing
You make saving the day look easy, Character. But what I can't figure out is why the Freaks were there in the first place. From the sound of things, they specifically targeted Mrs. Kellerman. In fact, it sounds like they were hired to go after her! I'm going to see if I can find out a bit more about what they were up to.
Get some answers from Saiba the Damaga
Briefing
I did some checking after the Freakshow hit that Crey office. I still don't know why they were deliberately targeting Mrs. Kellerman, but I did find out that Mass Def, the leader of that raid, often works for a tank Freak called 'Saiba the Damaga.' If the Freakshow had any motivation to attack Crey accountants, then Saiba should know about it. I need you to get some answers from Saiba the Damaga. Just don't expect it to be easy.
Mission Acceptance
Saiba is sure to be well protected, so be careful, Character.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Don't underestimate Saiba the Damaga. He's reputed to be quite dangerous.
Mission Objective(s)
The vivid Freakshow graffiti only underscores the drabness of the peeling wallpaper.
- Arrest Saiba and his cronies
After you defeated him, Saiba told you about the attack on Kimberly Kellerman.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Saiba the Damaga (Freakshow Tank Smasher)
After his defeat, the tank Freak called Saiba the Damaga told you:
'We didn't have anything against that Kellerman chick. We were just doing a job. We were paid to kill her, and then ramage on the place to make it look like nothing special. We were supposed to meet the guy who hired us to get the rest of the money, but we didn't know why he wanted her dead.
Debriefing
According to Saiba, the Freaks were paid to get Mrs. Kellerman. I wonder who would want a young newlywed accountant dead? Or, more to the point, who'd want her dead badly enough to sic the Freakshow on her entire office? Saiba mentioned that he was supposed to be paid the rest of the money shortly. I'll see if I can find out where that meeting is supposed to take place.
See if you can find out why the Freaks were hired to kill Mrs. Kellerman
Briefing
According to Saiba the Damaga, the Freaks are supposed to be paid today by the person who hired them to kill Mrs. Kellerman. I don't know if that person will show; after all, you saved Mrs. Kellerman, so the Freaks didn't exactly fulfill their end of the bargain. But you should probably show up at the meeting anyway. See if you can find out why the Freaks were hired to kill Mrs. Kellerman.
Mission Acceptance
I don't know what you're going to be up against in there, so be careful.
Unnecessary Solicitation
We're still at square one, Character. I want to know why the Freaks were hired to murder an innocent accountant!
Mission Objective(s)
This old warehouse once held medical supplies for the war. Now it's just an empty building.
- Seek clues at Freaks' meeting
- Seek clues
You found a clue that indicates Crey may have hired the Freakshow.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Operative Winslowe (Crey Elite Security Agent)
You found this note while battling Crey operatives. Written on Crey stationary, it reads:
'Remember, Winslowe, I don't want any of those Freaks to survive. We cannot trust them to stay quiet for long.
'Once this messy business is over and Kellerman's wife is no longer subverting his indoctrination, I think I can guarantee that your handling of this incident will be well reviewed.
'Dr. Giacomo'
Debriefing
According to Crey, they were investigating the Freakshow attack and mistook you for a villain. They issued a public apology, and they're saying they won't press any assault charges against you for the battle. I know that you weren't the one looking for a fight, but Crey has an army of lawyers ready to swoop down. Trust me, Character, that's one fight you can't win.
But maybe we have another way to strike at Crey. This note you found sure makes it look like someone at Crey hired the Freakshow to kill Mrs. Kellerman. They mention something about disrupting Mr. Kellerman's indoctrination. I'm not sure what it means, but I'll look into it.
Find Mrs. Kellerman
Briefing
I just spoke with Kimberly Kellerman's sister, Tracy Templeton. She says that Kimberly went to see her husband Ken at work, and now she's disappeared. Considering the Freaks' recent attempt on Mrs. Kellerman's life, as well as Crey's probable involvement, I'm pretty concerned. Will you go find Mrs. Kellerman?
Mission Acceptance
Mr. Kellerman works as a research scientist at a Crey lab in Steel Canyon. I'd question him first, if I were you.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Talking to Ken is the first step toward finding his wife.
Mission Objective(s)
Much of this lab equipment has been hurriedly packed into cardboard boxes. The boxes are marked with an address in Kings Row.
- Talk to Ken Kellerman
You heard a strange story from Ken Kellerman.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Ken Kellerman (Non-Escort Hostage)
Ken Kellerman's told you:
'I'm not entirely sure what's going on. When you arrived, those guards grabbed me and told me to stay here or else. It was odd. But then, it's been an odd day.
You say you're looking for someone named Kimberly? I met a Kimberly today. She said she knew me, and she seemed familiar. But I just couldn't place her. A shame, because she sure was pretty. And sweet. A couple of security guards came and took her away. If I see her again, I'll try to contact you. Well, after I get her number myself. A woman like that you don't easily forget.'
Debriefing
Ken Kellerman didn't even remember his wife? Either Kimberly Kellerman and her sister are completely bonkers, or something has happened to disrupt Ken's memory. Time for me to do some more digging.
Crey sent you a public thank you, by the way. According to them, the Crey operatives you fought had gone rogue; they were raiding the lab to sell its contents on the black market. It's more than a little suspicious, but there's not much anyone can do to disprove it. For now.
Rescue Tracy Templeton
Briefing
I just got a call from Tracy Templeton, Kimberly Kellerman's sister. She's scared. Really scared. But before she could tell me why, she said she saw several white vans pull up outside her house. Then her phone went dead. I don't think those vans were from her phone company. Tracy's in bad trouble, I'm afraid. Will you rescue her, Character?
Mission Acceptance
Tracy got one last call out on her cell phone. I had Paragon Wireless trace the call; apparently it originated in a cave complex.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Tracy sounded pretty scared, Character. You've got to get her out of there.
Mission Objective(s)
The cave walls are moist, and your breath is visible in the chilly air.
- Rescue Tracy Templeton
You have rescued Tracy Templeton.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Tracy Templeton (Non-Escort Hostage)
When you rescued Tracy Templeton, she told you:
'Oh, it's awful! Those security forces told me they were going to make sure no one ever came looking for me. They were going to make sure no one ever knew I existed! They said they'd erase my bank accounts, my dental records, everything! My sister's, too! I've never felt so helpless or scared.'
Debriefing
The police will be keeping Tracy Templeton in protective custody for now, but I'm afraid she'll have a hard time getting back to her normal life. I checked her story, and it's all true! Her birth certificate doesn't exist in any database. She has no credit history, no property lease, no nothing! The same thing happened to all public records of Tracy's sister, Kimberly Kellerman. It's like someone has tried to erase them from the face of the planet! If we don't find Kimberly soon, I'm afraid we never will!
Crey has again thanked you for rooting out corruption within their company. Their story is starting to sound pretty thin to me, though.
Extract Ken Kellerman
Briefing
I just got a call from Ken Kellerman. He says that he remembers everything. I'm glad to hear his memory's back, but I'm afraid it may have caused him some trouble. Apparently he started asking the wrong people what happened to his wife, and now he thinks that Crey security is after him. He's hiding now in an old office building, trying to avoid what he called the 'Mind Sweepers.' Can you extract him?
Mission Acceptance
Curiouser and curiouser. Character, I hope you can discover something that will help us get to the bottom of this.
Unnecessary Solicitation
I'm counting on you to get Ken Kellerman to safety.
Mission Objective(s)
It looks like Ken had to break a window to get inside this old building. You hope Crey security hasn't noticed that little clue.
- Defeat security chief, his men
- Seek clues
You defeated the security team and found a clue to the Kellermans' location.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Agent Tyler (Crey Elite Security Agent)
You found this hastily scrawled map in the abandoned building where Ken Kellerman was hiding from Crey's security forces. It shows a location in Kings Row. Off to the side, two stick figures stand behind a wall of iron bars. The map is signed with the letters, 'K.K.'
Debriefing
It looks like these Mind Sweepers already captured Ken Kellerman, but at least he was able to leave us a map. We'll have to get right on this, Character. If we're lucky, you can get there in time to save both Kellerman and his wife.
Rescue the Kellermans before Giacomo alters their minds
Briefing
Kellerman may have been captured by Crey security, but at least he was resourceful enough to leave us a map. It leads to a Crey facility controlled by a Dr. Amadeo Giacomo, a specialist in the electro-chemical functions of the brain. Character, you remember Kellerman's erratic memory, don't you? How he couldn't even seem to remember his wife? Well, I think this Dr. Giacomo has developed some way of disrupting or erasing memories. You've got to rescue the Kellermans before Giacomo alters their mind!
Mission Acceptance
Be ready for some stiff resistance on this one, Character. I don't think I'd go into that facility alone.
Unnecessary Solicitation
If you don't move fast, Ken and Kimberly Kellerman will have their minds altered! Or worse!
Mission Objective(s)
This lab is filled with strange devices.
- Rescue Ken and Kimberly
- 2 Kellermans to rescue
- 2 Kellermans to lead out
You have rescued both Ken and Kimberly Kellerman.
Notable NPCs
- Ken Kellerman (Escort Hostage)
- Kimberly Kellerman (Escort Hostage)
Ambush! You will be ambushed immediately after rescuing one of the Kellermans.
When you rescued Ken Kellerman, he told you:
'I remember everything now. It was seeing Kimberly that restored my memory. Even though I couldn't clearly remember her, I knew she must be important.
'I think Crey tried to brainwash me to keep me from leaving the company. See, Kimberly wanted to move upstate, so we could be closer to her mother. I was willing to relocate, but I guess Crey figured I was too vital to their team. That must be why they tried to kill Kimberly in the first place!
'Now that my memory's back, I can tell you where their Mind Control Center is.'
When you rescued Kimberly Kellerman, she told you:
'I thought the world was falling apart when my own husband didn't recognize me. Then Crey security took me away. I thought they were going to kill me, but they took me to meet this Dr. Giacomo. He said he was going to alter my mind to make me loyal to Crey! He said he didn't want me distrupting my husband anymore, and it was easier to change me than to kill me. Thank heaven you came in time!'
Debriefing
I wonder how many of Crey's employees have undergone mind control or memory erasure, like poor Ken Kellerman. At least he's reunited with his wife now, and safe in protective custody. They send along their thanks. Ken's ready to come forward with everything he can about this Crey mind control process. As soon as I've heard his statement, I'll get back to you.
Take out the Crey Mind Control Center
Briefing
The Kellermans have been through a lot at Crey's hands, Character: kidnapping, manipulation, attempted murder. Ken Kellerman's memory was even temporarily altered, for crying out loud! Nevertheless, he's willing to come forward with everything he knows about Crey's mind control techniques. He even told us where we can find the Crey Mind Control Center. It's time to take it out. Are you ready?
Mission Acceptance
Good. The Mind Control Center is in Talos Island, under the direction of a Dr. Giacomo. I want that man behind bars, Character. I know you can get the job done.
Unnecessary Solicitation
That Crey Mind Control Center has to be shut down before Dr. Diacomo can ruin any more lives!
Mission Objective(s)
The lab's defenses aren't enough to even slow your stride. After all, this is a battle for the sanctity of human hearts and minds.
- Stop Giacomo, his assistants
- 2 devices to find, Find programs!
You have recovered the mind control technology and captured Dr. Amadeo Giacomo.
Dr. Giacomo developed this device for use in Crey's mind control program. According to the instructions, the machine can isolate certain memories and suppress them.
Dr. Giacomo developed this device for use in Crey's mind control program. According to the instructions, the machine can implant certain attitudes, such as loyalty, hatred, or fear.
You downloaded these programs from the Crey memory alteration mainframe. According to the instructions, these programs can overwrite true memories with false ones.
Notable NPCs
- Dr. Amadeo Giacomo (Crey Protector)
Debriefing
The police have tried to question Dr. Giacomo about Crey's mind control process, but it looks like he had some kind of mental failsafe in place. Most of his memory is gone. The Kellermans are safe again, thanks to you. And Countess Crey sent along her thanks for cleaning up corruption in her company. She even offered to pay for a private detective to restore all the records Crey security erased. Now the Kellermans and Tracy Templeton can get back to their normal lives.
Ever notice how all of the bad things Crey does never get back to the countess herself? There's no evidence that she had any relationship with Dr. Giacomo, and he certainly can't tell us differently. I'm starting to wonder if Crey Industries is completely out of the countess' control, or completely under it.
Missions
Investigate the cave where the Lost may be storing the stolen technology
Briefing
I've detected a disturbing trend in the activities of the Lost. They've carried out raids against a lot of local businesses: grocers, gas stations, liquor stores. But they've also hit several major tech companies. I think those tech raids may have been ordered by the Lost's masters, the Rikti. I want you to go investigate a cave where the Lost may be storing the stolen technology. We need to learn more about the connection between the Lost and the Rikti.
The Lost have been doing the Rikti's dirty work for a long time, in exchange for their body altering mutagen. We need to know more about this strange symbiosis.
Mission Objective(s)
A tumble of dirty blankets in the corner indicates that the Lost are indeed regular visitors, but your trained ear recognizes the sound of Rikti machinery
- Investigate Lost tech thefts
You defeated the Rikti and recovered some clues.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Sentik
This battery uses organic material to power a weapon. Obviously adapted from recovered Rikti technology, this battery is one of the many items stolen from the local technology company.
This sample of the Lost's mutegen is sealed in a sturdy glass canister of Rikti design. Large black markings on the container remind you of hazard warnings.
You found this book in the Rikti base. Written by hand, it describes a utopian society in which physical labor is unnecessary, in which each member's needs are provided for in full. You can imagine the downtrodden Lost pouring over this manuscript in wonder, longing to belong to such a world.
Debriefing
You're right, those markings on the container of mutagen do look like hazard warnings. This jibes with some of the genetic info from the Lost subjects we've studied. I think the Rikti mutagen doesn't just alter the Lost; over time, it actually degrades their DNA! The Rikti are using the Lost as their pawns, and killing them in the process!
Ask Eliza Thorpe how you can find the missing officer
Briefing
Have you met my friend, Eliza Thorpe? She works for the city's missing persons bureau, and she could really use your help. She's got a lead on a missing U.S. army officer named Lt. Joseph Hildebrandt. From what she says, it sounds as though he's being held in a Rikti base. I don't think I have to tell you that the missing persons bureau doesn't have the personnel to handle this on their own. They need a hero like you. Please go ask Eliza Thorpe how you can find the missing officer.
Mission Acceptance
Eliza has one of the toughest jobs in this city. Be good to her, Character.
Speak to Eliza Thorpe
Unnecessary Solicitation
I told Eliza to expect you.
Mission Objective(s)
- Speak to Eliza Thorpe
Lt. Hildebrandt's been missing since the Rikti War, but his wife received a letter from him just this morning. In it, Hildebrandt details the location of a Rikti base where he's being held. I need you to get to that Rikti base and rescue Lt. Hildebrandt. But be ready for anything; sometimes the POWs we recover turn out to be Rikti spies in disguise. It's no small shock for the families, I can tell you that. Once you rescue him, he'll be debriefed by Christine Lansdale, the military consultant. She should be able to tell you if Hildebrandt is really who he claims to be.
Rescue Hildebrandt, Rikti POW
Unnecessary Solicitation
Lt. Hildebrandt's wife is waiting over at the missing persons bureau. She sure would like some answers.
Mission Objective(s)
This filthy sewer wouldn't be a fit cage for a dog, much less one of America's brave military officers.
- Rescue Hildebrandt, Rikti POW
You defeated the Rikti and rescued Lt. Hildebrandt.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Lt. Hildebrandt (Non-Escort Hostage)
Lt. Hildebrandt told you:
'I wrote that letter months ago, but I never got a chance to mail it. Then, three days ago, the Rikti moved the rest of my unit to a new location. I gave the letter to one of my men, with instructions to drop it near any populated area the Rikti took them through. I guess he must have succeeded. I'm afraid something terrible's going to happen to my unit. I think they only left me behind because I'm an officer and a possible source of information. The Rikti are smart, and they don't miss a trick.'
Ambush! Upon exiting the mission you will be ambushed by Rikti!
Speak to Christine Lansdale
Unnecessary Solicitation
Go talk to Christine Lansdale. If Hildebrandt's a Rikti spy, he may just be leading you into an ambush. Mission Objective(s)
- Speak to Christine Lansdale
Well, we ran every scan in the book, and it looks like Hildebrandt's the real deal: human, through and through. Based on what he told us, I've got a hunch about where the rest of his unit may be. There's a possible Rikti base that would be a perfect location for a POW camp. It's a system of caves with only one entrance, isolated and easy to secure against attacks. I'd like you to check out those caves and see if you can find the rest of the missing officers.
Lt. Hildebrandt's unit is well remembered for their bold and decisive strikes against entrenched Rikti positions. Throughout the war, they served with distinction, until they were captured in one of the final battles. Now, Christine Lansdale thinks they're being held in a Rikti base. It's up to you to get them out of there.
Search Caves for POWs
Unnecessary Solicitation
Those POWs are counting on you, Character. Get on it.
Mission Objective(s)
You hear a human voice pleading, and the sound of a man in tears.
- Search Caves for POWs
- 3 POWs to rescue
- Lead POWs out!
You rescued the POWs and uncovered some valuable information about the Rikti.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Prisoner of War
- Tortured POW
- Medic POW
- Rikti Chief Soldier (Guarding Prisoner of War)
- Rikti Chief Soldier (Guarding Tortured POW)

Ambush! You will be ambushed by Rikti after rescuing the Prisoner of War!
Ambush! You will be ambushed by Rikti after rescuing the Tortured POW!
Ambush! You will be ambushed by Rikti after rescuing the Medic POW!
One of the POWs you rescued told you:
'The Rikti performed horrible experiments on us. I'm lucky to have survived; a lot of my buddies didn't. They were trying to change our bodies in strange ways, to make us more like them. That's the last thing I would ever want to be.'
One of the POWs you rescued told you:
'The Rikti knew I was a medic, and they forced me to help with their experiments. It was sickening, but I had to at least try to save some lives. I also worked on a few injured Rikti. It was different, yes, but not as different as I expected. I mean, they're aliens, right? But I could find major arteries half the time in a Rikti body. They could even use human plasma, sometimes. I think their doctor started to respect me. It was probably the only reason they never experimented on me or executed me.'
Debriefing
You did an incredible job saving those soldiers, Character. A lot of those people had been presumed dead. I can't imagine how happy their families will be to get them back.
The story from that medic you rescued is kind of odd, though. He's probably seen more Rikti biology up close than almost anyone, it would certainly be strange if he thinks that human and Rikti biology have a lot in common. That's interesting. I don't know what that means just yet, but it certainly raises some questions.
Rescue the environmentalists from the Devouring Earth
Briefing
A herd of Devouring Earth creatures just attacked the World Watch Organization! Someone's got to get over there and rescue those environmentalists from the Devouring Earth. Those people don't have a lot of time. Maybe 1 hour at most.
Mission Acceptance
World Watch has had a hard time keeping up the the polluters in Paragon City. With all the violent crime that goes on here, corporations don't think twice about spilling a little nuclear waste. I just don't understand this. World Watch is the brainchild of some of the most dedicated environmentalist's I know. Why would the Devouring Earth want them dead?
Unnecessary Solicitation
You should get over to World watch on the double. You may still be in time to save the environmentalists.
Mission Objective(s)
The walls are covered with newspaper clippings covering World Watch's many public protests. Several lie on the floor in tatters.
- Stop Devouring Earth raid - 60 minutes
- 3 people to rescue
You rescued the environmentalists and recovered some interesting information.
Enemies
This analysis, pulled from a World Watch computer, describes the quality of water in Perez Park's Everett Lake. According to World Watch's findings, the lake's water quality is poor enough that it should immediately be banned for fishers and swimmers. Only a lengthy and expensive reclamation process can make the water safe again.
This file links several of Paragon City's wealthiest corporations to environmental damage. Chief among them is Crey Industries, which is credited with numerous crimes against the Clean Air Act and the near irreversible damage to Everett Lake.
Debriefing
I guess World Watch wasn't doing a good enough job in the eyes of the Devouring Earth. I hate to think what might have happened if you hadn't been there. Countess Crey herself called to say thanks. She sounded so sad that her trusted employees have been carrying out illegal activities under her very nose. Now that she knows about it, she plans to clamp down on environmental violations and begin the process to clean up Everett Lake.
Stop the sale of Rikti technology and arrest the buyers
Briefing
The city's trying to crack down on illegal peddling of recovered Rikti technology, but it's not an easy job. As long as companies are willing to pay through the nose for this stuff, there will be scavengers there to supply them. One of my sources suspects that a sale is going down in an abandoned office building right now. I need you to stop the illegal sale of Rikti technology and arrest the buyers.
Mission Acceptance
That stuff is too dangerous to be in the hands of companies who only want to use it for financial gain.
Stop sale of Rikti technology
Unnecessary Solicitation
We have to keep that Rikti technology in safe hands.
Mission Objective(s)
The dust is thick on the floor, but the wedge in front of the door has recently been scraped clean.
- Stop sale of Rikti technology
You overheard a strange remark by the Crey scientist. It seems that as payment for their technology, the Rikti are being allowed to raid a Crey warehouse.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Dr. Wertz (Crey Scientist)
- Nekli (Rikti Headman Gunman)
This cannon, designed to be mounted on a soldier's arm, fires a plasma blast that can vaporize a human body. It is one of the many Rikti devices that the government has deemed too dangerous for private companies to examine.
Stop Rikti raid on warehouse
Unnecessary Solicitation
I want you to stop that raid, and fast. I don't know what Crey's playing at, but we can't let them throw their employees to the Rikti.
Mission Objective(s)
A boom box continues to broadcast a cheerful Latin beat, a macabre counterpoint to the screams echoing from the depths of the warehouse.
- Stop Rikti raid on warehouse
- 4 workers to rescue, Find Crey's payment
According to the warehouse workers, the Rikti made off with some of the Crey weapons parts.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- 4x Hostage (Non-Escort Hostage)
When assembled, these parts would produce a handgun very similar to the Rikti plasma cannon you found. The parts bear the logo of Crey Industries.
Defeat all villains in cave
Unnecessary Solicitation
Hurry! If the Rikti want weapons, there's only one reason: they're planning another strike!
Mission Objective(s)
You managed to track one of the Rikti to this cave without him noticing. Or without her noticing? With Rikti, you're never quite sure.
- Defeat all villains in cave
You defeated the Rikti and recovered the weapons parts.
These parts were manufactured by Crey Industries. They have been modified in many small ways, and would now mesh perfectly with a Rikti plasma weapon.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Sobekto (Rikti Chief Soldier)
Debriefing
Ah, Character, what a tangled web. The Rikti were giving Crey access to their technology, in return for the new parts the Crey scientists engineered. I'd guess their arsenal took some heavy hits during the war, or they wouldn't be looking to humans to provide the parts they need. Good work on this one. The last thing we want is to see the Rikti armed to the teeth.
Crey, of course, has proof that Dr. Wertz and his team were working without Crey Industries' approval, so the company itself seems to be clean on this one.
Disrupt the Rikti's unknown agenda by fighting them in Crey's Folly
Briefing
The science facilities in what's now Crey's Folly were one of the first places in the city the Rikti attacked. The pollution and ruin of the entire zone were the end result. However, it seems the Rikti aren't done there yet. The Rikti have been in Crey's Folly working on their own agenda. I'm sure you understand that the Rikti's agenda has to be stopped no matter what it is or where.
Mission Acceptance
The Rikti made that polluted wasteland, I don't like to think about what they may be planning to do there for a follow-up. Their effort is probably going toward some larger plan that could imperil the whole city.
Unnecessary Solicitation

Mission Objective(s)
- Battle Rikti efforts in Crey's Folly
- Defeat 35 Rikti
missing completion text
Debriefing
You did a great job against the Rikti. It's good to know that this generation is willing and able to take the battle right back to the invaders.
Battle Rikti operations in Crey's Folly
Briefing
It's a bit of a twist on the normal way things are, but there are reports of Rikti in Crey's Folly who have started scavenging old human equipment. I can't imagine what they could be looking for, but the Rikti scavenging operations in Crey's Folly have got to be stopped. I don't know if they're just scanning, scavenging, or partying with the Freakshow, but they can't be allowed to make further inroads there.
There are Rikti troopers in many places in the zone. Every one you defeat hinders their operations, so be as aggressive as safety allows. You might want to concentrate your search around Tangle Town or the old Crey Factories, but any place you can battle the Rikti should work fine.
Mission Objective(s)
- Disrupt Rikti salvage in Crey's Folly
- Defeat 35 Rikti
Debriefing
The Rikti are so far ahead of us technologically, I have to wonder what they could be looking for in Crey's Folly? They certainly aren't talking and Crey Industries is tight-lipped as always. The important thing is that they don't succeed.
Stop the Rikti raid and destroy the Council's files
Briefing
We've got a dangerous situation brewing. The Council has been collecting data on heroes for some time, and we believe they have a full list of all Super Groups registered with the Paragon City government, complete with the powers and weaknesses of each member. What's worse, the Rikti found out about it. They're moving on the Council base as we speak. I need you to stop the Rikti raid and destroy the Council's files. The Council protects its most precious info with heavy duty security protocols, so you'll need a teammate to help you crack into their network.
Mission Acceptance
Those files may be all the Rikti need to mount another offensive against the city.
Unnecessary Solicitation
We can't let those Council files fall into the hands of the Rikti.
Mission Objective(s)
The Council and the Rikti are both disciplined fighters. A battle between them is sure to be a deadly struggle.
- Defeat all villains in bunker
- 2 computers to access simultaneously
You defeated the villains and destroyed the Council's files.

By protecting that information, you protected all your fellow heroes from potential harm.
