Noble Intentions Arc: POLLSTER and UNDERDOG badge guide

[Voltor]

NOBLE INTENTIONS ARC

Badge Guide:

Mission 1: whether you fight to Tunnel Rat or stealth to her, you are fighting your way out.
Any enemies that she sees she will attack. The good news is that if her health drops to zero it quickly
moves back up so she cannot die. She also does nice damage. The bad news is that Teleport and ATT will
not affect her.

 

Mission 2:  only the leader can speak to the contact. Select whatever dialog you decide.
Skip the optional leaders no matter what dialog you choose.
Talk to the first two contacts, rescue and talk to the third, then talk to the fourth then exit.

Mission 3: Investigate the PNCB HQ
go to [-100.0 0.0 907.7] which is due west of the entrance. Clear the mobs there and the way point should
appear.  Enter building, go into side room and defeat some goons to get a clue and activate a glowie in that room.
Hidden door is now available, enter it. Rescue the lazy scientist, then turn off stealth so they follow you
to unlock the blast door.  Then enter the room and click the computer a few times until it explodes.

Now you are attacked by Ravenstorm and Dr. Todd for a moment then you can then talk to them.

 

YOUR CHOICE OF DIALOG HERE IS WHAT SETS THE BADGE FOR THE STORY!

 

So if you chose Rogue dialog in mission 2, you could choose HERO and the mission sets to the HERO version
of the arc and vice versa.

 

When you select Rogue they become your enemies and you must defeat them. Take down Dr. Todd first as
she is kinetic support to Ravenstorm, and ice damage to you.

 

If you selected Hero they will meet up with you on the next level of the map to assist you after a rather
funny cutscene and will assist you again in the final mission. After this cutscene take down an
overamped super soldier then locate the exit.

 

If you selected Rogue head back outside and clear 3 groups of guards from the submarine and leave.

Mission 4: (HERO) Bring data to John
click him a couple of times to set next mission then click his truck to proceed

 

Mission 5: (HERO) Riots in Talos!
free the captive then head outside.
Disregard the 5 optional riot leaders
Defeat Titus and his guards [-1085.8 223.5 5925.5] the furthest red dot on the map.
Get into the building and rescue Alexander and take him to the door to the roof.
He will fight any enemies that he sees and cannot be teleported.

 

Mission 6: (HERO) Save the Election
Smash the Goliath War Walker, then 4 Archons, just them not their guards.
First one is a soldier, the next a galaxy, the next a vampyr, the last is a shield bearer
Now enter the base.
Cutscene
Defeat Arvin's Supersoldier with assist from Dr. Todd and Ravenstorm
Talk to Arvin
Wait for cutscene which will award POLLSTER badge and merits

 

Mission 4 (ROGUE): Burgle the Family Money Ship

There are 4 glowies at random positions.  If you get them all without being seen, mission ends.
If not you have to defeat some ambushes and a boss.  Suggest that if you do not have any stealth
powers to go to your base and see if you can craft some invisibility from your empowerment
station, or else check your temp powers, if you patrolled Siren's Call you should have the
Combat Invisibility power.

WARNING: the last glowie will NOT appear as a dot on the map.
Turn up your game volume and listen for them.

ALTERNATE STRATEGY:  let yourself be spotted by a patrol. Then plant your feet and let the ambushes and the boss come to you. Defeat them and the boss and the mission ends even if you didn't get all 4 glowies.

 

Mission 5: (ROGUE) Loot the Warrior's Stash-house
Grab the 4 glowing chests in the last room. Disregard all enemies and ambushes.

 

Mission 6: (ROGUE) Visit your local Bookie
go St Martial and talk to the contact. You cannot mission transport to them.
However they are near the base portal, so after talking to the Miller, call
your mission contact and set the mission which is in Independence port and use
your ouro crystal in base to warp to him.

 

NEW INFO: If you have NOT completed story arc "Gone in a Flash" from Bobby Curtin (Level 25-29, Arc 26.02) then The Miller won't be your contact, it will instead be B4nKbUsTah of the Freakshow

 

Mission 7: (ROGUE) Deliver Data to John
click him a couple of times to set the next mission

 

Mission 8: (ROGUE) Riots in Talos!
free the captive then head outside.
Disregard the 5 optional riot leaders
Defeat Titus and his guards [-1085.8 223.5 5925.5] the furthest red dot on the map.
Get into the building and rescue Alexander and take him to the door to the roof.
He will fight any enemies that he sees and cannot be teleported.

 

Mission 9: (ROGUE) Steal the Election
Smash the Goliath War Walker, then 4 Archons, just them not their guards.
First one is a soldier, the next a galaxy, the next a vampyr, the last is a shield bearer
Now enter the base.
Cutscene
Defeat Arvin's Supersoldier
Talk to Arvin
Wait for cutscene which will award  UNDERDOG badge and merits

BONUS BADGES: Rogue and Hero alignment points awarded should give badges for completing

Go to the very end of the mission map. There are 4 chests, one in the center of each wall of the room. A non-hostile Zephyr NPC will be in the middle of the room.

 

The chests should be glowing when you arrive. If they're not talk to Zephyr and follow the dialog options. As Voltor mentioned, if you get ambushed you don't have to fight the attackers.

For me, [-34.7 -0.0 784.6] was the location.

There seems to be a random variable in the mission,  either based on time in the mission before the entrance is located or how many you defeated.

I found the guards that talked about purging and iirc happy to not be in the base.  Normally they're close to the vent, but once found them a bit of distance away.

Thanks for the great guide!

 

A note for possible inclusion in the guide:

The Noble Intentions story arc is arc 27.06, Rogue alignment, in the 40-44 level range in Ouroborus.

((EDIT: known bug in Riots in Talos mission, mentioned by GM impervium in bugs forum, seems to have been fixed in May 26th 2023 patch ))

 

I seem to be unable to complete the Riots in Talos mission.

Alexander and Aegialeus both con blue, and will not speak to me or follow me so the mission cannot be completed. (Reset mission and re started the arc twice.)

for brevity and updated information

There's no badge or benefit to doing so, but if you head upwards, climbing up the cave in the first room of 'Mission 5: (ROGUE) Loot the Warrior's Stash-house', you'll find a secret warriors Rec Room with a couple guys watching TV. Fun easter egg.

I just ran this arc for the first time. I got to the Boomtown map on the final mission and couldn't figure out what I was looking for at the 4 locations. Thankfully I found this guide and learned I was hunting for named Archons (who were not all that close to the map markers).

Thanks to Voltor for the mission walk thru. Was easy after the read.

 

Did both Villain and Hero part

Just a pro-tip regarding Tunnel Rat and mission 1. Use mark & recall, she ports right with you to the door.
