Death from Below
Overview
Death From Below is a new 'underground trial' available to both Heroes and Villains. It can be run at any level, and is therefore often used by new players. This trial provides exceptional rewards for new characters, including experience point bonuses and Single Origin Enhancements making it an excellent and popular tool for players looking to level new characters quickly.
This trial in some ways replaces the Sewer Network, which was similar but less structured. The Sewer Network is still available for players who wish to adventure there.
Requirements
4-8 players, player levels 1-6.
Missions
Players can queue individually or in groups for Death from Below via the Team-Up Teleporter in the LFG Window, a selection on the Chat Window. When enough players are queued, they will be teleported to the beginning of the trial, which begins with defeating Hellions.

At least two Single Origin Enhancements around the level of the character, which can be well below level 22, when the standard store-purchased SOs can be slotted. If team size is big enough, a character can get at least five SOs from the four bosses. (Mid to high level characters may see SOs drop from the standard critters, as in normal content.)
Your choice of one of four temporary powers. The powers last for one week in-game or until level 22:
