Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Recluse's Victory

To get the Isolator badge, a hero must kill 100 contaminated. They are most frequent in the Outbreak tutorial zone, where you can kill mobs of them to get the badge. However, if you missed it you can still recover it. To get it, you must kill contaminated in Recluse's Victory.

The only catch is that only ONE single minion spawns every two hours, making this impossible to all but the true badge aficionados!

Answer: Passport

The Passport accolade was given to all those who transferred heroes using the US - EU server transfer system. Unfortunately after Issue 4, this feature no longer existed. The badge died with this upgrade.

3. Hit the deck! It's a bomb! Only you can defuse the bomb and save Paragon City! How many times must you do it for a badge? Hurry! Time is ticking!

Answer: Five

Defusing five bombs in a Safeguard mission will award a player the Bomb Squad badge. Bombs that are defused as part of given missions from contacts do not count towards this badge, only the ones in Safeguard missions.

4. Being a hero isn't all just bang bang, kill kill! It sometimes requires dedication and study. Of all the zones in Paragon City, which one has the most history plaques?

Answer: Atlas Park

Atlas Park is sitting on a cool seven plaques, the most of any zone in "City of Heroes". The other three are all tied for second place, each having five plaques in their respective zones.

5. The Rescuer badge, like the name suggests, involves rescuing someone. Who is that special person you must rescue?

Answer: Mr. Yin

The "Rescue Mr. Yin" mission is given to heroes that take Penelope Yin as a contact in Faultline. By rescuing Mr. Yin, heroes are not only rewarded with the badge, but also with Mr. Yin's special store, which sells level 13, 17, and 21 Single-Origin Enhancements. Mistress Camille happens to be a name randomly assigned to the fortune teller in the "Save the Fortune Teller" mission.

Answer: Terra Volta

The aforementioned badge is the "Conjunction Junction" exploration badge in Terra Volta. "Conjunction Junction" ("What's your function?") was a "Schoolhouse Rock" song back in the day.

7. In 2005, how many Rikti monkeys would I have needed to kill to get the Zookeeper badge?

Answer: 10,000

Before the release of Issue 5, to get the Zookeeper badge, an impressive 10,000 Rikti monkeys had to be killed! Thanks to Issue 5 however, it was lowered to only a mere 1000 to ease the pain of killing so many.

Answer: Reliable

Steadfast is awarded at 21 months of play, Devoted is awarded at 24 months of play, and Committed is awarded for 30 months of service to Paragon City! A minority of the population of Paragon City fall into these categories.

Answer: Celebrant, Reveler

By having the 1st and 2nd anniversary badges, the 5th Columnist gladiator is yours. Silver Bullet and Slayer are needed for Received the Atlas Medallion accolade, Omega Wolf and Prenumbra Elite Adjutant are other Council gladiators, Cage Fighter is an arena badge, and Weapon Inspector is a Warburg exploration badge.

Take the number of villains that need to be defeated to get the Reinforcement badge and subtract it from number 6. 8. Finally subtract the number of hours needed for the Advisor badge from number 7. Why is this day important?

Answer: It was the launch date of the Korean open beta.

If you ACTUALLY did this question and got the right answer than Kudos to you! For those of you who said "forget it, I'm guessing"...meh you'll live! "City of Heroes" was released on April 28, 2004, it was released in Europe on February 4th 2005, and if you solved the puzzle, you should have gotten 11806 which corresponds to January 18, 2006, the launch date of the Korean open beta.
