Missions

Mission 1

Briefing

Oh. Good to see you. My electrical senses have been picking up some strange currents. I want you to heck out a Warehouse in Steel Canyon and investigate the electrical anomaly. You up to it?

I've been seeing a lot of Clockwork over there, but I don't see how they could cause an electrical disturbance. After all, the Clockwork King operates them telekinetically, not with electricity.

Mission Objective(s)

• Seek electrical anomaly

On one of the Clockwork you defeated, you found a power routing device.

Power router

This electrical device can be used to harness electrical energy from a large source. You found it on a Clockwork minion.

Mission 2

Briefing

Positron has the scoop on those power routers you found on the Clockwork. I need you to go talk to Positron right now. He'll tell you what to do.

Please do whatever Positron asks of you.

Mission Objective(s)

• Talk to Positron

Briefing Positron

I'm glad Synapse sent you my way, guys. These power routers you found are very interesting. They are designed to shunt power from a grid substation and feed it to a place of the controller's choosing. The basic mechanism is quite sophisticated, but there are a number of redundant parts. Quite intriguing.

Oh, you probably want the locations of the power substations, don't you? Here they are; go keep Steel Canyon powered up!

Mission Objective(s)

The floor beneath you vibrates with the thrum of vast machinery.

• Defeat all Clockwork in station

You defeated the Clockwork.

Notable NPCs

• Foreman (Clockwork Cannon Prince)

Mission Objective(s)

A tiny, brass cog rests against the baseboard. Once again, the Clockwork have beat you to the station.

You defeated the Clockwork.

Mission 3

Briefing

We're all grateful that you stopped the Clockwork plot to divert Steel Canyon's power. But the job's far from over. I want you to find the Clockwork headquarters. Positron built a scanner that should help us find them. Start in Steel Canyon, and check in at the patrol boxes as you scan the area.

Just keep moving, and the scanner should accumulate enough data to locate the Clockwork's headquarters.

Mission Objective(s)

• Patrol (need more data)

The scanner is indicating a heavy concentration of Clockwork in an abandoned office building.

Mission Objective(s)

Mounds of scrap metal are heaped in the corners of this lobby. Seems the Clockwork aren't the tidiest of housekeepers.

• Stop all robots in headquarters

You cleared out the Clockwork's headquarters, preventing further danger to Steel Canyon's power grid.

Notable NPCs

• Click (Clockwork Cannon Prince)
• Coil (Clockwork Cannon Prince)
• Suppressor (Clockwork Cannon Prince)

Mission 4

Briefing

That last Clockwork scheme was scary. If you guys hadn't stopped them, the Clockwork would have rerouted all Steel Canyon's power to their own base! We can't let these activities continue. I think it's time to track down the Clockwork King.

I've made a number of sweeps across Paragon City with a scanner that Positron made, and I think I have the possible locations narrowed down to Steel Canyon and Boomtown. I need you to run a patrol in Steel Canyon. See if you can dig up any leads on the Clockwork King's hideout.

We need a new lead; I am beginning to suspect the King has found a way to shield himself against Positron's scans.

Mission Objective(s)

• Patrol

Nothing on the patrol, eh? Well, that's all right. We'll find the Clockwork King's hideout, never fear.

In fact, I think I may have a lead. A big Clockwork called Bertha was spotted going into an abandoned office not too far away. Check it out.

Mission Objective(s)

Even the doorknobs and switch plates have fallen to the Clockwork scavengers.

• Defeat Bertha and its guards

Something catches your eye in the rubble of the Clockwork pieces. You pick up a strange, distinctive Clockwork part.

Notable NPCs

• Bertha (Clockwork Cannon Prince)

Mission 5

Briefing

I was right. After a quick scan, I was able to locate the warehouse where that distinctive Clockwork part originated. Go talk to the foreman. I let him know you would drop by.

This place has been hit by the Clockwork several times. The foreman sounds pretty unhappy about it.

Positron created a better version of his Clockwork Immobilizer; he calls it the Mark II. It's still only good for one shot, but he says it will stun the target for a longer time.

Mission Objective(s)

This is where the foreman was supposed to meet you. Suddenly you hear it: the sound of a Clockwork attack!

• Defeat Long Tom and its guards

You defeated the Clockwork and spoke to the warehouse foreman.

Foreman conversation

The foreman you rescued told you, 'This is getting ridiculous! These metal annoyances must have me on some kind of regular route! Synapse said you wanted to know more about that distinctive Clockwork part you found. Well, we manufactured it, all right. We only sent parts like that to three different locations; here they are.

Notable NPCs

• Long Tom (Clockwork Cannon Prince)
• Foreman (Hostage)

Mission 6

Briefing

We know those Clockwork parts you found were delivered to only three locations. I think we need to check out each of the three warehouses. If we are lucky, this trail will lead to the big man himself: the Clockwork King!

I'm calling the first warehouse to make sure they know you're coming. Wait! They say they're under attack right now, and there are innocents in danger. Get moving!

Mission Objective(s)

An overturned table lies beside several broken mugs. It seems the Clockwork surprised the warehouse workers during their coffee break.

• Investigate the first warehouse
  • 6 warehouse workers to save

You defeated the Clockwork and rescued the warehouse workers.

Notable NPCs

• 6 Warehouse workers (Hostages)

Enemies

Clockwork

Mission Objective(s)

This warehouse is quiet. Perhaps too quiet. You prefer the heat of battle to this eerie, expectant silence.

• Stop Clockwork Lord, its guards

You defeated the Clockwork Lord. By now, Positron should have a new version of his Clockwork Immobilizer ready for you.

Notable NPCs

• Clockwork Lord (Elite Boss)

Enemies

Clockwork

Mission Objective(s)

• Get Immobilizer from Positron

Briefing Positron

Here you go, the Mark IV Clockwork Immobilizer. Save this for the King, it only has one charge.

Mission Objective(s)

You know this last battle will be dangerous, but you can't suppress a grin.

• Defeat Clockwork King, his court

Task Force defeated the Clockwork King!

Notable NPCs

• Clockwork Baron (Clockwork Cannon Prince)
