Story

  • Whether it's fighting mercenaries, rescuing ancient Kahndaqi artifacts or orchestrating a jail break, there is never a dull moment when the Mysterious Stranger shows up. He's back and rounding up the team for what should be a legendary adventure. (Heroes) He seems to be on the up-and-up... despite some questionable recruiting. (Villains) The last job paid well, and this one should also.

First boss: Vandal Savage

  • The main mechanic of this fight is the bombing that occurs on multiple red circles on the floor after brief delays. Vixen has a blue spherical shield that prevents damage but since she would move around a lot it is not as reliable as simply getting out of the red targeting circles. The shield remains active even when she's KO'ed though, and would stay in the same spot.

First boss: Black Adam

  • The main mechanic is the Font of Magic in the area - which would shoot red projectiles ( Eviscerating Fire) with a skull icon at players. Once hit, the target would keep taking heavy damage over time. This can only be cleansed by standing for a few seconds in a small blue fountain - which appears on a random spot above the grated underground stream that runs north-south in the boss room.

Trivia

  • Near the beginning there is a short segment where players must go through a vent to circumvent a locked door, and the vent's path is invisible and "outside" of the map.
  • Black Adam's guards use the magic of Hathor. Hathor is the name of the Egyptian goddess of the sky and kingship, usually depicted as a cow.
