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.
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.
Notable NPCs
- Powderkeg (Clockwork Cannon Prince)

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)
