Zone Events

  • Periodically, a Troll Rave may spawn in several locations in Skyway City. During these raves, many trolls gather and start to glow, and Supa Trolls spawn nearby. A hero may earn the Dee Jay Badge for defeating enough of the Supa Trolls and the Raver Badge for defeating enough of the raving Trolls.
  • During the Synapse task force, Babbage the Clockwork monster is spawned outside of the warehouse that heroes exit in the penultimate mission of the task force.

Neighborhoods

  • Astral District (Yellow - Level 10-15) (Music) in the western area of the zone
  • Aerie Plaza (Green - Level 10-12) (No Music) a relatively safe area which contains the Yellow Line monorail station, Mynx the hero trainer, and Synapse the Task Force contact.
  • The Gruff (Orange - Level 13-16) (No Music) in the south central part of the zone, a mid-level neighborhood. Note that there is an error in the map that shows The Gruff as two separate sections of the zone, a mid-level neighborhood just below Aerie Plaza and a low-level neighborhood south of the Astral District. In fact, these two areas are one mid-level neighborhood.
  • Hide Park (Red - Level 15-19) (Music) a small neighborhood in the southeastern section of the zone.
  • Lagrange Medical Center (Green) (Music) a safe area that is the hospital of Skyway City.
  • Land of the Lost (Red - Level 15-19) (Music), a neighborhood in the southern section of the zone.
  • Vista Plaza (Yellow - Level 10-16) (No Music) in the north end of the zone
