The Great Escape

Overview

The Ghouls are ransacking a lab in Neutropolis. Will you help the PPD drive them out and hunt them down or will you go into the lab and find out what they're after?

Failed Experiments looking for a key

Description

A battle inside a Neutropolis lab has spilled out onto the street. A few hundred yards north-northwest of the CTA there will be a plaza where the event takes place.

In this plaza you will find three red-con Failed Experiments and three yellow-con Praetorian PD officers lying on the ground opposite. They are all level 1 so they will be beaten with a single attack. Attacking the downed PPD will begin the Resistance path where you help the Alpha Ghoul escape from the lab itself. Attacking the Experiments will begin the Loyalist path where you stop the Alpha Ghoul from escaping into the tunnels.

Drive off the Ghouls with minimal casualties

30 Ghouls to defeat, 10 PPD remaining

The goal here is to defeat the incoming Ghouls while protecting the PPD Officers from harm. The PPD will maintain a presense of three officers while the Ghouls will arrive in packs of five. The Officers will help you fight the Ghouls with their weapons but you must try and keep at least one alive by the end of the segment. It is not neccessary to protect all of them.

Find the Alpha Ghoul

30 Ghoul guards to defeat

Once you have defeated enough Ghouls, the surviving topside participants will all rush for a nearby door. Follow them and you will find yourself in a small section of Underground tunnel. In this section will be some T.E.S.T. Officers who will be fighting Ghouls. Proceed in and you will find a large door similar to that of the Resistance bases. Ghouls will approach this door in packs of three, replacing each Ghoul as they are defeated.

Hunt down the Alpha Ghoul

Defeat 5 Feral Ghouls THEN Defeat 30 Failed Experiments

When thirty Ghouls have been beaten, all the survivors will retreat into the large doorway. Follow them in and you'll be in a curved section of tunnel where seven Ghouls are fighting PPD Officers. Beat at least five of them and then continue onward to the large room at the end where you will find a group of about eight Failed Experiments. The PPD officers will follow you in and maintain their support as you fight the Experiments but they no longer need protecting.

Defeat the Alpha Ghoul

Defeat Lucan v0.65

After the thirtieth Experiment falls, Lucan will arrive with a group of Resistance fighters. Several PPD Warrant Officers will join the fight and it turns into a big free-for-all. The only one who needs to be beaten is Lucan and once he is down; all the NPCs will either retreat or stroll out. As soon as he is defeated, you can claim your reward.
