Shattered Jar of Flesh

In a dumpster you find a sample of bestial flesh in a shattered Arachnos container, but with a Crey label pasted on. What the?

The flesh comes from no known zoological creature, but is definitely Arachnos in origin. It seems that as a change of pace from their usual industrial espionage, Crey has taken an interest in something going on in the Rogue Isles, and has stolen something belonging to Lord Recluse. Naturally, he has dispatched an Arachnos strike team to Paragon City to recover the items.

You can't uncover much about the items themselves beyond that they are biological samples, and that Recluse appears to be taking the matter quite seriously.

If those Arachnos troops make it to the city, events could escalate far beyond a simple theft. They have to be prevented from making it here.

Though if the samples are that important, getting them into proper, non-Crey hands is the priority.

Hero Acceptance

Briefing

Whatever Crey has taken from Arachnos will be dealt with in due course. What's more important is that Lord Recluse will learn you will not stand to see Paragon City violated.

By moving quickly and brashly, the Arachnos troops are easier to locate than you anticipated. It should be easy enough to confront them before they can do any damage. Stopping them, however, will be a little trickier.

Halt the Arachnos strike team before it reaches Paragon City.

The strike team will be expecting a hero, but you can't let that stop you.

Mission Objective(s)

You've managed to get aboard the ship they're using for transport. But they've decided to sacrifice stealth for numbers on this occasion.

• Halt the Arachnos team!
  • 2 Arachnos strike team leaders to take out

You stopped the Arachnos strike team.

Enemies

Arachnos

Notable NPCs

• Executioner Gage (Arachnos Bane Spider Executioner) (Boss)
• Fortunata Tomara (Arachnos Fortunata Mistress) (Boss)

Arachnos Minions Dialogue

Before Combat:

Arachnos Minion 1: Did Tomara tell you what we're after?

Arachnos Minion 2: No. And I prefer to keep it that way.

Combat Start:

Arachnos Minion 1: Here we go! A hero!

Executioner Gage dialogue

Before Combat:

Executioner Gage: Prepare to make landfall.

Combat Start:

Executioner Gage: You are not enough to stop this mission.

At 75% Life: We expected to go in hot.
At 50% Life: I'm not about to turn back now.

Defeated:

Executioner Gage: I guess... you were enough.

Fortunata Tomara dialogue

Before Combat:

Fortunata Tomara: Those Crey fools have no idea what they've gotten themselves into.

Combat Start:

Fortunata Tomara: We appear to have drawn some attention already.

At 75% Life: Enough! Cease this foolishness.
At 50% Life: By stopping us you let a greater danger spread...
At 25% Life: I don't like where this is going...

Defeated:

Fortunata Tomara: You should have let us deal with it, child.

After Defeat:

Fortunata Tomara: It's for the best.

Debriefing

You kept an Arachnos strike team from causing mayhem within the city.

Vigilante Acceptance

Briefing

That Arachnos strike team won't get very far before it gets stopped. Crey, on the other hand, might be able to bury whatever they've found if pressure isn't put on them immediately.

You've tracked down the lab from which the flesh sample was stolen, now it's time to head in there and break things until you find out what it means, why Crey is interested, and why Arachnos is trying so hard to stop it.

Recover the stolen Arachnos samples from the Crey lab.

Crey wouldn't make Arachnos angry unless this was an important find. Watch your step in there.

Mission Objective(s)

There's something off about the air in here, but you can't put your finger on it.

• Recover the Arachnos samples!
  • Recover the stolen flesh samples, Recover Crey's files on the samples.
  • 6 groups of unleashed clones to defeat, Defeat the leader of the monstrous clones.

You've put an end to Crey's Arachnoid experiments.

Enemies

Crey
Arachnoids

Notable NPCs

• Monstrous Crey Clone (Arachnoids) (Boss)

Crey Minion Dialogue

Before Combat:

Crey Minion 1: Did you see them?

Crey Minion 2: Monsters. Simply monsters.

Combat Start:

Crey Minion 1: Get rid of the cape!

	Flesh Samples
	This is the full set of stolen Arachnos flesh samples. Without these Crey should be unable to do any more damage.

	Flesh Sample Report
	Crey's report one the flesh sample is inconclusive. They acquired it from an Arachnos defector who claims it is part of a Lord Recluse project, but haven't been able to put all the information together. The report goes on to indicate they have decided to try cloning experiments using the tissue... and that the experiments have gotten loose!

Ambush! After getting the second clue, a Monstrous Crey Clone will spawn and attack you. This will also spawn 6 groups of Arachnoids throughout the complex.

Monstrous Crey Clone Dialogue

Before Combat:

Monstrous Crey Clone: HSSSSST! Hunger!

Combat Start:

Monstrous Crey Clone: HSSSSST! Feast!

Arachnoid Minion Dialogue

Combat Start:

Arachnoid Minion 1: HSSSSST! Burn!

(This is repeated by all 6 Arachnoid groups you encounter)

Debriefing

You've stopped one of Crey's abominable experiments from breaking out, but the Arachnos strike team managed to do some damage.
