Overview
Mercy Island is the first place a villain goes after escaping from the Breakout tutorial zone, excluding Soldiers of Arachnos (VEATs), who do not go through Breakout. As a beginner-level zone, most of the enemies are levels 1-6.
Here, villains will meet their first contact (Kalinda or Matthew Burke) and begin to make their presence known to the powers that be. They begin in an area called Fort Darwin, which also plays home to their first trainer: Arbiter Diaz. They'll likely spend their first five to six levels running missions out of here before picking up a new contact to the southwest. They tangle with large numbers of snakes, breaking the back of that group (at least on Mercy Island). Later missions take them to the area to the south called Fort Cerberus.
NOTE: Soldiers of Arachnos must do a single mission from Alan Desslock before choosing Kalinda or Matthew Burke.

Important Locations
Neighborhoods
- Darwin's Landing, the large neighborhood that forms most of the northern part of the zone, contains Doctor Creed and Mongoose. The Fortunata Fateweaver who adjusts a villain's notoriety in this zone is located under the clocktower at the Darwin's Landing marker.
- Fort Cerberus is the small Arachnos fort in the southeastern part of the zone. Ghost Widow's tower is located in this zone; Seer Marino is also located here, in addition to the Black Helicopter Line to Cap au Diable.
- Fort Darwin is the north-eastern fort where a villain starts their career in the Rogue Isles; it contains Kalinda, Arbiter Diaz, Matthew Burke and Alan Desslock. The Mercy Island Hospital is located here.
- Mercy is the neighborhood south of the wall that, along with Darwin's Landing, forms most of the island; it contains Arbiter Richard. The Mercy Island Arachnos Headquarters is located in the building behind Arbiter Richard. A Black Market truck is located between the doors to the Port Oakes Ferry and the doors to Fort Cerberus.
Exploration Badges
Many would-be villains have drunk their fill from the cesspool in hopes that it might grant super power. Mostly they go insane.
Just when you thought it was safe...
Arachnos built the wall around Mercy to keep it safe.
This is the main entrance to the Snakes' underground lair. You really don't want to go down there.
This is the good life. The higher up you get, the bigger you are.
They say that lonely tower is the home of Ghost Widow, Lord Recluse's phantom servant.
Plaques
You have learned much that is hidden from the eyes of mortal men.
