The Clockwork Paladin
This article contains information that no longer applies to the current version of City of Heroes/Villains. It is provided for historical purposes.
Overview
The Clockwork Paladin was a Zone Event found in the High Park neighborhood of Kings Row. The Paladin is on the loose, and seemingly impervious to damage! Defeating Psionic Brass Conduits makes the Paladin vulnerable to attack, and the Shining Stars can be freed from their captors to aid in the fight.
This event replaced the previous Paladin Construction zone event in Issue 24. Due to multiple bugs that often rendered the event unavailable, it was discontinued in Issue 27 and the Paladin Construction zone event was reinstated.

Throughout the High Park neighborhood there are 12 Psionic Brass Conduit Boss class Clockwork applying a shield to the Paladin making it invulnerable. The Paladin spawns approximately 200 yards west of the High Park neighborhood marker, and will wander the area destroying objects it finds. During this phase the Paladin will rarely attack players or other NPCs, only focusing on destructible objects. Failing this optional objective currently has no effect.
The Psionic Brass Conduits can sometimes be found by following the lightning effect that links them to the Paladin. This visual effect is dependent on their range from the Paladin and so will only appear between Conduits close to the Paladin.

Shining Star Showdown
- Paladin's Health 100/100
- Defeat the Paladin!
- (Optional) Free the Shining Stars!
Shining Stars members (Elite Bosses) are being held by 5 Knight-Errant Elite Boss Clockwork outside the Bank at (-24.0, -42.0, -2240.0) . Freeing them allows them to help defeat the Paladin.
The Paladin will head towards this location and will now fight players and the Shining Stars.
Bug! The event window does not correctly track the Paladin's Health, staying at 100 throughout the event. It also does not acknowledge the Paladin's defeat.
Bug! The event does not properly reset after the Paladin is defeated and will only restart with a mapserver refresh of the zone (by GM or weekly maintenance). Any surviving Shining Stars will remain outside the bank for some time.
King's Row currently has a soft population cap of 20 players, meaning a 2nd instance of King's Row will open if 20 players are in the zone. In this new instance, the event should be reset and usable until it's completed. This instance should close when it is no longer occupied and King's Row is under the 20 player soft cap.
Rewards
Defeating the Paladin awards 6 Reward Merits, 5 charges of the Knight Errant temporary power and the Knight Errant Badge.
Badge
