Walkthrough
- You can avoid almost all the mobs in the first part of the map. Simply stay near the ceiling and go past the yellow marker on the map, to the elevator at the northeast corner.
- To open the elevator door, a simple puzzle must be completed. After interacting with the elevator button, the white symbol on the screen above the door would turn to a red, blue, or green symbol. You must interact with the correct screen on the opposite wall, and then another console with the same symbol in the vicinity as indicated in time. Do this 3 times correctly and it would open.
- This alert (in normal/elite versions) is not very difficult, however a tank may be preferred during hallway adds and the Parasite boss encounter (more so in elite). A heal is not necessary but up to the group to decide. Boss mechanics are quite minimal compared to other recent alerts.
First Boss: Parasite
- A fairly easy boss in both normal and elite versions by DC Universe Online standards, especially if players adhere to the Static mechanic quickly. A tank may still be preferred especially in elite to keep aggro of any add spawns.
- When Static and Parasite appears stationary in the middle of the room (Parasite takes greatly reduced damage in this state) and prompted, transport the battery indicated to Static in time or Parasite will do massive room-wide damage. If successful, Parasite will take significant damage. Interestingly, if no one pick up the battery, adds do not seem to spawn.
- Breath Attack: Parasite marks a cone in front of him in red before spewing a green substance for several seconds that deals heavy damage to any targets caught within, ignoring Shield Powers.
- Hunger Pang: Indicated by a "He looks hungry!" prompt, Parasite will passively damage targets nearby while this effect is active.

Shield PowersFinal Boss: Major Force
- A fairly easy boss in both normal and elite versions by DC Universe Online standards, especially if everyone adheres to the lunge mechanic and stays max range of the boss. You can even defeat him with a 4 DPS (or 3 DPS, 1 Buff/Battle Controller) group setup in both normal and elite versions.
- Atomic Gunshow: Major Force spreads his arms and projects a fixed-length laser beam from both hands while spinning around, sweeping a moderate circular area and damaging any targets hit. It can be avoided by staying at near max range of your ranged attacks, and the lasers can also be dodged through.
- Major Explosion: You are prompted to lunge him repeatedly and if not done in time, he will blast everyone for heavy damage. If done in time, you can use a terminal to drop a piece of machinery on him, which explodes taking out a chunk of his health.
- In elite:
- Atomic Gunshow ignores Shield Powers, although it still takes ~3 sweeps to KO and it is easy to stay out of range. It is very dangerous to be in melee distance when it activates as it can sweep 3 times almost instantly and effectively one shot this way.
- His Stomp Smash basic Brawling attack can 1-shot non-tanks, but he is otherwise not much of a threat even in elite.
