Final Overlord Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 (edited) First, thanks to Nodnal for helping out a ton in mapping the Endless Colonnade and finding many of the motes with me. SPOILERS AHEAD There are seven total motes within the Labyrinth of Fog. There is one corresponding to each color floor, plus one in the Endless Colonnade. Each provides a modest buff of some kind, and when you have acquired all seven and go to the Gate of Darkness (within the Core of the Labyrinth) they will combine into one passive power called the Mote of the Gladiator that has all of the individual components combined. As a note, I unfortunately did not take screenshots, but I've tried to be somewhat descriptive. I hope to add screenshots to this in the near future. I also have not figured out the patterns to get TO each of these individual maps, and it took me about an hour of running around to find them a second time. Mote of Apathy - The Endless Colonnade Once you find The Endless Colonnade, follow the route to the farthest south you can go. Once there, you will find the Mote of Apathy and obtain a +10 rech passive, along with the hint that you need the Labyrinth Accolade and the 7 Motes in order to get through the Gate of Darkness. Nodnal's map: Once you have all seven motes, you can proceed back to the Core of the Labyrinth. If you've already obtained the Conqueror of the Labyrinth accolade, you can teleport here from the Labyrinth lobby. If you haven't gotten Greek Philosopher yet, please see my guide thread on that. From the core, proceed to the Gate of Darkness (upper levels, E-NE). As you approach the gate, your seven temporary passives will become one passive that will be called Mote of the Gladiator, and you may enter the True Core of the Labyrinth. This will award your prestige costume! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ADDENDUM AND ADDITION OF PICTURES: Below are the locations and quickest (easy) access to 6 of the 7 motes. The only one I couldn't find good access to was the Endless Colonnade, but we'll leave that to you adventurers and explorers to map out! The method I used was to simply re-enter the door you came out of. I'm sure there are shorter paths, but this is the most repeatable I was able to discover quickly. Mote of Despair: Take the red portal from the lobby, then keep re-entering the doors (3 re-enters total after the portal click) you just came out of until you get into the Blue Arachnos base then you'll find the Mote of Despair at [2312.9 -508.2 -2379.8] Mote of Greed : Take the green portal from the lobby, then keep re-entering the doors (2 re-enters total after the portal click) you just came out of until you get into the Green Sewers then you'll find the Mote of Greed at [-1178.3 -220.8 1350.5] Mote of Violence : Take the blue portal from the lobby, then keep re-entering the doors (2 re-enters total after the portal click) you just came out of until you get into the Red Warehouse then you'll find the Mote of Violence at [-906.6 -236.2 -487.1] Mote of Cowardice : Take the blue portal from the lobby, then keep re-entering the doors (4 re-enters total after the portal click) you just came out of until you get into the Yellow Praetorian Underground then you'll find the Mote of Cowardice at [-2666.7 -353.5 2428.7] Mote of Jealousy : Take the green portal from the lobby, then keep re-entering the doors (6 re-enters total after the portal click) you just came out of until you get into the Yellow Praetorian Underground then you'll find the Mote of Jealousy at [1956.2 402.9 582.5] Mote of Fury : Take the orange portal from the Core of the Labyrinth, then keep re-entering the doors (6 re-enters total after the portal click) you just came out of until you get into the Yellow Praetorian Underground then you'll find the Mote of Violence at [-3562.8 -330.5 2038.9] Edited July 15 by Final Overlord 1 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then grab the history plaques in the core which if you have the other badges will complete the "Conqueror of the Labyrinth" accolade. Then you can port to the Core from the lobby. Also, you can get to the Arena from the Core via the White Portal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Developer Cobalt Arachne Posted July 10 Developer Share Posted July 10 Separate from the True Core, there are seven secret '???' areas total, which includes the Endless Colonnade. I don't expect them all to be found before we go live, they give no special rewards except the special views and the exploration for any and are, for the most part, more hidden than the motes. 2 Love this game and its community?

golstat2003 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 The fact that this was found before it went live is not surprising knowing City of Heroes players. Some of them are god gamers. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really love the server room. Are the server racks static but the map itself change? It feel weird seeing them in Manticore's mansion lol I lead weekly Indom Badge Runs / A newer giant monster guide by Glacier Peak / A tour of Pocket D easter eggs! / Arena All-Star Accolade Guide!

It's also surrounded by angry mobs so bring some purples and speed with ya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
