New Contact(s)[]
There's an engineer named Kip Cantorum who knows a lot about illegal technology. You should go see him; he might have some good leads for you on the Vahzilok zombies. Kip's business is in Galaxy City.
Kip should be able to help you.
You should consider introducing yourself to Laurence Mansfield. He is one of the more personable county coroners. He can be a very helpful resource on the Hellions and the Circle of Thorns. He is located in Atlas Park.
Mansfield has a strange sense of humor sometimes.
There's an EMT named Paco Sanchez who'd like to meet you. He's not only great at his job, but he also works well with heroes, tipping them off whenever he sees something interesting going on with the Hellions and the Circle of Thorns. Paco can be found in Galaxy City.
Paco primarily cares about saving lives.
You ever meet Willy Starbuck? He's a small time hustler, but he knows a lot about the Council, and he's willing to talk. You should stop by and introduce yourself. Willy grifts over in Steel Canyon.
Willy has the kind of mind that can lead you right to the heart of trouble.
Information[]
Beat Cop
Vic Johansson grew up in one of Paragon City's poorer neighborhoods as the son of a shopkeeper and a bus driver. After a few years in boring office jobs, he joined the police force. He has since become a distinguished officer, although promotions have been few and far between. Vic knows full well that it's the heroes, not the cops, who end up fighting most of the crime in Paragon City, and his comfort with this fact may explain why he hasn't moved up the ranks quickly. Most cops have an inferiority complex about costumed crime fighters, and they like to solve cases without them. Vic, on the other hand, is famously friendly with the super-powered crowd. He's also a firm believer in the neighborhood-based policing, and he keeps heroes apprised of the slightest signs of evil on his beat.
Initial Contact[]
This city needs heroes, and I aim to help them any way I can.

Talk to the Steel Canyon Security Chief[]
Briefing
There is trouble in Steel Canyon. Get your assignment from the Security Chief.
You will probably be dealing with the Outcasts, so be ready for anything.
Mission Objective(s)
- Talk to Security Chief in Steel Canyon
| Briefing
Here is some info on the area. I need you to get out on the streets and contain the Outcasts. They can usually be found in Blyde Square or the Cooper District. |
 |
Steel Canyon briefing |
| Steel Canyon is the financial district of Paragon City. Many national banks, insurance companies, and investment firms have their headquarters in this zone. In fact, so much money flows through Steel Canyon, Paragon City ranks among America's richest cities. Success has spurred the construction of so many skyscrapers that the place looks like a canyon made of concrete, glass and metal. The zone isn't without its dangers, though. The Outcasts have claimed the area as their own, and they've recruited a lot of kids with mutant powers related to the elements. That's what the Outcasts love best—beating down their enemies with the power of the elements. |
Mission Objective(s)
- Keep peace in Steel Canyon
- Defeat 10 Outcasts
You have defeated 10 Outcasts.

Debriefing
Well done; those Outcasts are a powerful bunch. It seems the number of mutants in the city is increasing rapidly.
Go to Kings Row and stop the Lost rampage[]
Briefing
We've been seeing a lot of violence from the Lost in Kings Row. They've been attacking businesses, sometimes to steal the merchandise, sometimes just to destroy it. I need you to get to Kings Row and stop the Lost rampage.
Crowne Memorial and the Gish are reporting a lot of Lost thefts. You might want to start in those neighborhoods.
Mission Objective(s)
- Combat Lost in Kings Row
- Defeat 10 Lost
You have discouraged the Lost from looting businesses in Kings Row.
Enemies
Debriefing
The Lost violence seems to have no rhyme or reason, but I suspect there's a greater plan in the works here.
See Perez Park Security Chief[]
Briefing
The Security Chief for Perez Park asked for you by name. You should take that as a compliment. Go talk to him. He's located in Atlas Park near the gates to Perez Park.
Perez Park is a dangerous place these days. Clearly the Chief thinks you can handle it, but take a couple of friends with you, just in case.
Mission Objective(s)
- Talk to Security Chief
| Briefing
Take this briefing seriously. I need you to deal with some of the Circle of Thorns mystics that have been plaguing the area. Try looking for them in Bettis Hills. |
|
Perez Park briefing |
| Perez Park used to be a beautiful place to take your family for an afternoon picnic. Now, no one in his right mind wanders in there. Most of the area has been abandoned, largely due to the rumors of unholy Circle of Thorns rites taking place deep within the forest. The park is entirely overgrown, a perfect place for those strange mystics to summon up a demon or two. This zone is so deadly that even heroes shouldn't go in there in groups of fewer than three. |
Mission Objective(s)
- Keep the peace in Perez Park
- Defeat 10 Circle of Thorns
Enemies
Debriefing
I guess the Chief's confidence in you was well placed. Fantastic job.

Good work rescuing those people. We need to find out who brought them down there, and for what purpose.
Hit the streets and defeat a few Lost[]
Briefing
The doctors over at Chiron Medical Center want some more data on these mysterious Lost. If we can find out what has happened to those homeless people, we may be able to help them. I need you to hit the streets and defeat a few Lost. Take some blood samples, then bring the data back to me.
Field reports have groups of the Lost in Kings Row and inside Perez Park. Good luck.
