Are there Hollows Missions?

Are you thinking about Karsis and the Cavern of Transcendence trial?

No; it's a mission that takes you down into the Tunnels to the chamber roughly in the north center, where there's a door that takes you to Atta's 'throne room', where you have to defeat him.

Like Psyonico I have run the mission to defeat Atta several times on HC.  So far none have ever sent me into the actual Tunnels of the Trolls just to a door in the Hollows themselves.  The mission map itself is always the same layout.  Will have to investigate this further as the Hollows is among my favorite zones and a significant number of my heroes run at least through Frostfire.

You get sent down into the Tunnels to defeat Atta by Talshak the Mystic as part of his arc

 

really? I guess I haven't done that one often enough.

most people outlevel Flux by the end of his arc (the Frostfire mission) and don't get referred to Talshak.

 

Yeah. Too much of that going on. A lot of people are using x2 XP through out leveling (regardless of what route they are taking). Even without the x2 XP if you bump up the difficult of missions - that is often enough to out level contacts before their arcs can be completed (even if they allow you to continue their arc).

 

That's why when I try to do missions in a zone, I have started going to the wiki, check out the contact list, and XP lock as necessary to avoid outleveling the content.

Other than that, the Tunnels are the best place to hunt Troll bosses for the badge,

 

I wasn't looking for badges for troll bosses.

I was commenting on where I thought all of the Minions of Igneous were located.

I agree that under Grendel's Gulch is different than in Grendel's Gulch.

I run the hollows a lot, I've never been sent to the tunnels for Atta... It's always just a door mission inside the hollows itself.

 

aha! The plot thickens .... and I have  yet to do my exploratory foray in to find the underground lair of the Minions of Igneous

"Overview

Tunnels of the Trolls is a Hazard zone in City of Heroes. Prior to Issue 16, a hero needed to be at least Security Level 12 to enter.

 

Transfer Points

The entrance to the Cavern of Transcendence is at the center of the zone.

There are seven exits to the The Hollows."

[Scarlet Shocker]

Only some Council missions feature the Center, so technically all other missions have no centre and are thus hollows.
