Overview

Dark Astoria is a Hazard zone in CoH. A hero needs to be at least level 21 to enter. It was originally known as Astoria.

Recently, a beast has been spotted lurking the streets of this town. An apparition of an elderly woman has also been reported telling other heroes to leave.

Zone Events

Adamastor sometimes spawns in the Moth Cemetery neighborhood.

Exploration Badges

File:Badge tourism hazard.png Dark Mystic

Some once claimed the reason the spirits walk the streets of Dark Astoria is the fact that there is a powerful Ley Line nexus in the middle of Moth Cemetery. They have since learned the truth.

This tomb was used to represent the thousands of heroes who gave their lives in the Rikti War. It now stands a mute vigil at the site of even greater atrocities.

Location: due west of the Moth Cemetery marker by about 166 yards there is a tall mountain. At the base of the mountain is a small tunnel leading into the catacombs.

Mortals erect petty monuments and cairns in the foolish pursuit of stemming the forces of Death. Mot has since sundered such vanities.

Location: very near the NE corner, there's a rock formation which is cave-like in shape. The badge itself does not appear but is granted right at the foot of the formation's sloping ground.

Historical Plaques

Day Jobs

File:Badge DayJob Gravedigger.png Mortician

Your time spent studying death itself has earned you the Mortician Day Job. Logging out in a graveyard will earn you protection against Experience Debt, when you log back in, for a short time.

File:Badge DayJob CareGiver.png Caregiver

You have spent a great deal of time working in the hospitals of Paragon City during your free time earning the Caregiver Day Job. Logging out in a Hospital will earn you a Regeneration Bonus, when you log back in, for a short time.

Transfer Points

  • There is a gate along the west wall of the zone that leads to Talos Island
  • The Dark Astoria Beacon location is (3580, 0, 631.5), northeast of the Barca Plaza marker.
