The Temple of the Waters

Agree to form a strike force

If you're interested in gaining power and prestige by service to Arachnos, you've come to the right place. I am Strike Force Operative Renault, the right hand of Barracuda just as Barracuda is the right hand of the infamous Captain Mako. Captain Mako seeks the Eye of the Leviathan from the legendary Temple of the Waters. Steal it for Captain Mako and share in the power it brings!

Arachnos intelligence suspects there may be some hero faction who have been shadowing Barracuda. They are to be dealt with appropriately.

The official Arachnos designation of your team will be Strike Force Raider.

Somewhere within these damp sea caves is Barracuda. Find her!

Mission Complete: You have assisted Barracuda

Mystic Portal

This mystic portal seems inert, and yields no clue to the location of the Temple of the Waters.

Barracuda disappears into the shadows as you turn your eyes towards the Longbow forces marshalled at Agincourt.

I've received word from Barracuda about your success. Looks like Longbow wants to prevent us from succeeding in our goal. Too bad for them.

Find info on coral key

Barracuda managed to escape the Longbow agents sent to stop her from finding the Temple of the Waters. however, she needs to lie low for a while since the heroes seem intent on capturing her. The task lies with Strike Force Raider to follow up on the remaining clues which may lead us to the Temple of the Waters.

The Legacy Chain is a group of mystics who have been collecting magical artifacts in order to safeguard them from dangerous and ambitious villains. One of their recent acquisitions was a coral key, an item which may lead us to the Temple of the Waters. The Legacy Chain has set up a warehouse on Sharkhead to store these artifacts until they can smuggle them off the Rogue Isles. Head into the Legacy Chain hideout and search for into on the coral key.

The Legacy Chain has taken extreme measures to prevent villains from stealing these treasures. Watch out for traps they may have set to discourage intruders.

The very air of this warehouse practically thrums with mystical energy.

Objective: You found a crumbling scroll.

43rd Revelation of Hequat

"This is a weathered scroll which relates: '... and the greta goddess Hequat heard out supplication, transmogrifying the Beast into the sea-rock...'"

Mission Complete: You interrogate the Tellus Lorekeeper. He relates how the coral key is meant to act as a compass, showing the possessor the path to the Temple of the Waters. Unfortunately, an Arachnos assault force led by Fortunatas from Fort Cerberus recently attacked the warehouse and confiscated the key!

Legacy Chain Interrogation

You interrogate the Tellus Lorekeeper. He relates how the coral is meant to act as a compass, showing the possessor the path to the Temple of the Waters. Unfortunately, an Arachnos assaul force led by Fortunatas from Fort Cerebus recently attacked the warehouse and confiscated the key!

Operative Renault authorizes an assault by Strike Force on Fort Cerebus to steal the coral key! He will of course disavow all knowledge of the assault.

You have secured the coral key? Excellent! If what the Legacy Chain lorekeepers say is true, it should lead us right to the Temple of the Waters!

Your efficiency impresses me. Excellent work!

Disrupt Longbow Operations

You've done an excellent job securing te coral key which should lead us to the Temple of the Waters. However, this constant interference by Longbow is becoming troublesome and annoying. We need to find who is spearheading these operations against us and put them out of commission! Disrupt Longbow investigations into Barracuda!

Once we put the Longbow agents responsible out of commission we can carry out our task without further interference!

Mission Complete: The Longbow agents tell you about Operation Frozen Ocean!

Operation Frozen Ocean

The Longbow agents who were attacking you are part of 'Operation Frozen Ocean', a task force set up to watch Barracuda's activities in the Rogue Isles and counter any major threats.

That should set 'Operation Frozen Ocean' back for a while!

I've informed Captain Mako of your progress, and he is pleased.

Appease Ghost Widow

We have a bit of a problem. Apparently, the coral key was on its way to Ghost Widow, and she was not please to find it missing. Your team was identified as the perpetrators of the assault, and she will stop at nothing to punish those responsible.

Fortunately, one of her Fortunatas may be willing to speak to her on your behalf, but there will be a price. It it'll keep Ghost Widow from enacting vengeance it'll be worth whatever price she asks.

Report back once you have appeased Ghost Widow. You'll get final orders from Barracuda when you return.

You depart the Arachnos flyer and head over to the graveyard in Paragon City. Within, you see shambling figures moving about.

Mission Complete: You have stolen the death rattle!

The Death Rattle

This is a primitive-looking rattle with a bone handle and a shrunken skull filled with knucklebones. It is adorned with feathers and covered in dried blood.

So Ghost Widow is appeased? Good. Interference from Longbow is one thing, but direct opposition from another of the faction leaders is quite another. Even Captain Mako is careful not to cross Ghost Widow if he can help it.

Retrieve weapons

Looks like everything is set for the raid on the Temple of the Waters. You have secured the coral key, put Longbow in its place, and have gained access to the portal. The power held im the Eye of the Leviathan will soon be ours!

The temple itself is rumoured to have powerful guardians. Barracuda has been gathering weapons to use against the guardians, and wants you to arm up before entering the portal. Head over to the warehouse and retrieve the weapons.

Barracuda procured the weapons from Family arms smugglers who are expecting payment. Barracuda wants these loose ends eliminated if you run across any of them.

You hear Family inside arguing about getting payment for the goods.

Barracuda [Arch-Villain] A former treasure hunter, Kelli Forston was infected by mysterious creatures known as the Coralax. What she found in the briny deep remains a mystery, but it turned her heart as dark and cold as the depths. In combat, she is almost as quick and savage as her bloodthirsty mentor, Captain Mako.

Mission Complete: Missing

Barracuda attacked you? Hrm, most treacherous of her, and foolish - it's unlikely she could have secured the power of the Eye by herself.

I will have to consult with Captain Mako on how to proceed from here.

Raid the Temple of the Waters

The incident with Barracuda was unfortunate. Assuming Barracuda survives the altercation, Captain Mako will have words with her. In the meantime, Strike Force Raider must complete the mission. Enter the Temple of the Waters and retrieve part of the Eye of the Leviathan!

This is the moment we've been waiting for. Find the Eye of the Leviathan!

You follow the coral key downwards through a maze of ancient sea caves. A gurgling sound echoes through the tunnels.

Objective: You have defeated Calystix!

Objective: You have defeated the Eye of the Leviathan!

Leviathan Eye Shard

This is a piece of living coral taken from the Eye of the Leviathan. It seems alive in your hands!

	Calystix the Shaper [Arch-Villain] Calystix the Shaper is the high priestess of an ancient cult to the sea-goddess Merulena. She has formed a 'Cult of the Shaper' on Sharkhead in order to free an ancient terror which is trapped beneath the island.
	Eye of the Leviathan [Arch-Villain] Missing

Mission Complete: You got a piece of the Eye of the Leviathan!

Leviathan
Awarded for completing the last mission of the Strike Force

Excellent work, Strike Force Raider! This piece of the Eye of the Leviathan should serve Captain Mako's needs nicely. You are dismissed!
