The Abandoned Sewers Trial was newly revamped for Issue 12. The Trial now functions more like a Task Force, as other Trials do. It should also correctly require a team of Heroes between level 38 and 40, and auto-exemplar heroes over level 40. (Previously, only the leader had to be in this level range, and anyone from level 36 to level 50 could participate without sidekicking/exemplaring.)
The majority of the Trial is designed to take place in the Abandoned Sewer Network. The contact (Mairenn MacGregor) is located near the Atlas Park sewer entrance.
The last mission will always spawn mobs at level 42 or higher, regardless of team members' levels.
Merit Rewards: This activity awards 29 Reward Merits.

Contain the Hydra
Briefing
All right. I'd say you're ready to take on the Hydra itself. Use this computer access code to unlock the maintenance room door. Once you're in, kill everything you see from top to bottom. And I mean everything. Remember, once activated, that door only stays open for 90 minutes, so don't play around.
Mission Acceptance
I can give you one hint: check for Rikti crates. They're the key to your success. The Rikti have got some seriously funky technology for trying to keep the Hydra in check, so use it to your advantage.
You may be tough up here, but down there it's all about tactics and finding the right tool for the job.
I don't envy you on this one, ace. You'll have a hard fight. Remember, the Rikti crates are the key.

Enemies
This maintenance log printed on bright yellow paper, is written in a shaky hand. It reads: 'Stick to the catwalks, we lost another worker today.'
This eye of the Hydra is now lifeless; nevertheless, it seems to glow with a faint, malevolent glint.
Opening some of the crates in the Sewers rewards the player that selected it the following clue and temporary power:
This scrap of paper refers to the Rikti's powerful thermite plasma guns. It reads: '--severe damage to tentacles, possible tool for containment. Rikti technology at its fines--'
Ranged Cone, Moderate Damage over Time (Fire), Special Damage (Plasma) vs. Hydra Tentacle
The Thermite Plasma Cannon is a Rikti weapon. The Plasma is relatively cool, and only moderately dangerous. However, it has be discovered that Thermite Plasma is deadly to the Hydra. It is best to save the weapon's limited charges for defeating the Hydra.
Opening some of the crates in the Sewers rewards the player that selected it the following clue and temporary power:
This torn shred of paper refers to the Rikti's particle accelerator weapons. It reads: 'Modified weaponry--the head is susceptible. Rikti transport technology will ensure--'
Ranged Special vs. Hydra Head
The Particle Cannon is a heavy Rikti weapon that can reverse the polarity of of an entity brought through a dimensional rift, sending it back to its own universe. Against other targets, it has no effect. the particle cannon can send the Hydra Head back to its dimension. The particle beam is slow, and must be held on the target for a long time. The Particle Cannon has limited charges, so use it wisely.
Debriefing
Hey, you're back, A Hydra Eye? For me? How cool.
