Part Two: Hamidon's Territory

Briefing

The IDF managed to build and power up the previous sonic fences in the area thanks to a facility nearby.

Right now, those sonic fences are down and missing crucial parts. I analyzed the data - not even your Incarnate powers could reboot them. It's like... ah... trying to use your powers to make a car work when there's no engine for the car to actually use.

You saving Last Bastion won't mean much if we can't get those sonic fences up and running. Hamidon's forces are vast and you can't be in this place all the time to fight them off.

We need to get the supplies from the facility nearby to rebuild the sonic fences and activate them.

  • Alright, do you have the location of the facility?

I do... er, sort of. Kind of. Well, not really. Here's the problem. The facility is in the Hamidon's forest. There's all sorts of things crawling around in there, and it's not just Hamidon.

Scouts reported seeing Spirit Stalkers there. I know Shadow Hunter was the head of that pack... maybe it means he's been taken over by Hamidon? I don't know.

What you'll have to do is try to thin the numbers of the Spirit Stalkers and Devouring Earth there, and get a beacon to locate where the facility is.

You don't need to track down Shadow Hunter, if he's there, but if he's not taken down, he could cause more harm in the future. Also, there are three IDF generals who went out to find the warehouse, but they never returned. The forest is a maze, so I wouldn't recommend trying to find them... but if you did find them, they could potentially help out in the defense of Last Bastion.

Unnecessary Solicitation

The entire forest creeps me out, I'm glad I'm not the one going in there! ... Sorry.

Mission Objective(s)

File:Map IOM FOREST.png
Map: IOM_FOREST

You're brought deep into the forest by a Vanguard escort. You can hear multiple Seeds of Hamidon flying overhead - you'll have to stay beneath the forest canopy to avoid them.

  • Locate the Sonic Fence Warehouse
    • Locate the tracking beacon
    • 3 Generals to rescue (Optional)
    • Track down Shadow Hunter (Optional)
    • 20 Spirit Stalkers
    • 20 Devouring Earth to defeat

You've located the warehouse for the sonic fence technology!

Notable NPCs

Editor's Note:

This mission map is reminiscent of the tree mazes in Perez Park and Eden.

Clue
General Lapton Rescued

You recovered General Lapton, who swore to help in the defense of Last Bastion.

Clue
General Maywer Rescued

You recovered General Maywer, who swore to help in the defense of Last Bastion.

Clue
General Riom Rescued

You recovered General Riom, who swore to help in the defense of Last Bastion.

Clue
Shadow Hunter Defeated

You fought Shadow Hunter in Hamidon's forest and defeated him. The predator ran off after being badly defeated.

It's surprising that Shadow Hunter is even alive after the Magisterium. You have to wonder how much of Shadow Hunter is truly left, and how much is merely the Hamidon controlling his forces.

Ambush! After defeating Shadow Hunter, you are ambushed by three waves of Spirit Stalkers.

Editor's Note:

At coords (-2106, -23, 2219)[Copy] is Praetorian Infernal's axe?
You found what appears to be an axe that belongs to Praetorian Infernal. The air smells of cinder, as if he was recently here.

Debriefing

Great work, Character! Vanguard is sending in a crew as we speak to recover the sonic fence technology and bring it back to Last Bastion.

They'll be moving quick, of course; there's only so long that Hamidon's forest will actually be safe.

We just received word that there was a huge explosion over in what's left of Neutropolis. It looks like Anti-Matter's reactors all went off - it was massive! I bet that put a huge dent in Hamidon, or at least, I hope it does.

In the meantime we should take advantage of this and- er. Uh oh.

We've got a problem, Character. I don't think that should surprise you at this point, right?
