Thats odd... I was able to get into the site.

Go thru the main site... if you were using the links on the first entry back on page one they have changed due to updates over time.

Here: main acohfan site

Main link is always in my sig as well!

This has not been abandoned at all... I am currently working test server to get that badge info. COH guides still need to be updated as well.

I should have another update by the begining of next week.

Thx for the post!

I will make the updates as soon as possible. I dont know how I managed to miss some of those since I got them. I saw the patch notes on Demonslayer but forgot to put it in.

One question though; I have been getting Crystal Keeper for the Ice Mistral SF. What is the Kaolin badge? Bugged? Old badge from a previous update?

Thx again

Hello Guys and Gals,

Gearing up for Issue 7, I have updated the COV Badge/Contact Guides on the ACOHFAN website . All Guides are printer friendly and the COV badge checklist can hold 3 toon names!

Updated COV Contact Guide

Updated COV Badge Checklist

Still to come:
-updates to COH guides
-more issue on I7 badges

Ah yes a very good point on that. I totally forgot about that one.

Thank you for that post VelRahn. I will add that to my guide in the very near future.

Also, please feel free to go to my fan site or do a serch on the coh forums for more SF guides... I have made 1 for every SF currently on COV.

I am in process of updating my badge checklist to gear up for issue 7.

Reward: Binder of Beasts Badge

/loc (-2,795.7, 238.5, -526.5) in Cap Au Diable east of the Mt. Diable waypoint next to the portal.

Total Missions: 6

Mission 1
Name: Defeat all Legacy in office [find the ritual notes]
Zone: Cap Au Diable
Setting: Office
Villain Type: Legacy of Chain

Mission 2
Name: Find reason for circle attack [Find foreman and defeat mob, defeat Attack Leader Zurabsal]

Mission 6
Name: Bind Bat’Zul [5 alters remaining, stop Infernal, Bind Bat’Zul]
Zone: Cap Au Diable
Setting: Lava cave
Villain Type: Legacy of Chain, Bat’Zul, AV – Bat’Zul the imprisoned


Last mission info: (Spoiler)

The last mission is not as complicated or large as some of the other strikeforce maps. You will enter into a main cave filled with Legacy of Chain and the Hero infernal, yup… the hero.

Clear out the cave of all the Legacy of Chain and Infernal; proceed to the end of the main cave and you will then come to the lava pit. You will see Bat’Zul around the lava pit and opening to other caves. There about 8 caves and within them contain more Bat’Zul and alters that need to be clicked. Not all caves have alters in then, if you have a team member with hide or invisibility you can simply scout out the caves and click the blinkies.

Once all the blinkies have been clicked you will have an ambush of Bat’Zul back at the main cave that leads to the lava pit, take out the ambush. The AV will spawn shortly after you defeated the ambush. You will know you have activated the AV spawn when you see purple triangles rotating in the center of the lava pit. Once the AV has spawned, he will be in the center of the lave pit. Do not try to take it on in the middle of the lava pit, it helps it regen and also you take a considerable amount of damage while in the lava. Instead, pull him back towards the main opening of the hall. Due to the size of the AV it will not be able to follow you all the way to the mission entrance but at least you will be able to fight it out of the lava pit. The AV can and most likely will summon a large amount of fire imps to aid him, get ready for a fair amount of fire damage. Once you defeat him; you will get the badge.

Good Luck!

Sure! I think it took us about 4 or 5 hours with a team of 5.

Mission 10

Name: Steal the eye of the Leviathan [Defeat Calystix the Shaper and the Eye]

Zone: Sharkhead Isle

Setting: Coral Cave

Villain Type: Coralax



Last Mission info (Spoiler):



Upon enter mission, make sure you have the whole team in the map before proceeding down into the cave. As soon as you enter into the cave you will spawn a patrol ambush or coralax. Proceed deeper into the cave; until you reach the last room. It’s very large and you will see the huge eye and mouth of the Leviathan. Below is a large amount of coralax worshiping it, the first AV Calystix. Note the 2 large pools of water with tornadoes and the walkway to your right that leads towards the back up to the eye.



Pull the coralax away from the pools of water with the tornadoes, then proceed to the walkway on the right and kill the remaining coralax up the walkway leading to the large eye. Don’t worry about the eye; it will not come alive just yet.



Now its time to focus on your first AV Calystix the Shaper; be careful when attacking him, for he summons a fair amount of coral defender pets. These pets are similar to earth controller animate stone. Focus on the AV as much and possible, the pet minions and LT’s won’t be too much of a problem. If you have boss pets in the spawn take them out as fast as possible; while working on the Calystix. Once you have taken out Calystix and his pets, the Eye of the Leviathan will come alive.



Jump up to the ledge or use the walkway that was to the right to get on even ground with the eye. Attack the eye with everything you have, the eye is not that difficult but the spawns that get summoned will be annoying. While attacking the eye there will be a continuous ambush of croalax. They coralax will span in the pools with the tornadoes and use the same walkway you did to get to the eye. Focus on the eye as much as possible.



Good Luck to all of you!

I love badges! I want to get as many as possible. I was totally bummed when all my toons pre badges could not get some of them.

While were crossing out fingers for the devs to do something about this.....

Faultline Trial anyone!!!!!

I am up for a challenge to always earn the badges! Thats the way it should be.

Hello Fellow Heroes and Villains:

Updates have been made. (Link is in the sig)

COV - Silver Mantis SF guide added [I posted it on the forum, just never the fansite]

Battlefield 2 - Euro Force expansion link added

Guildwars - Relinked update section.

More to come:
-need to add Holiday badges for coh and cov (Valentine)

I think it would be cool to have stores in our bases. I know that has probably been mentioned already.

Also, decorative, bridges that dont have to be connected to the wall. I want to make platforms in the center of the room and have pits of fire or arcane crystals below them.

Hello,

I cant confirm this but I am sure if you get enough stacked on him you would be able to have him held for a sec or so in order for him to drop down to the ground.

Villain Type: Skyraiders and Carey
Bugged: no

Mission 6
Name: Destroy Base Defense to Draw Dray
Zone: Sharkhead Isle
Setting: Cargo Ship and Ocean Rig
Villain Type: Skyraiders
Bugged: no

Last mission info:

This mission can be time consuming. First you start inside the cargo hold of a ship. You do not have to kill anything in this area, so having invis/hide and tp would save you some time. If not just do it the old fashion way and take out the mobs that are in the way. Once you make you way to the final room of the cargo hold, there is a door. That will lead you to the next part of the mission.

You are now outside on the deck of the cargo ship, it has traveled to a platform out in the ocean. Make sure to check the ship on fire to your left...it just looks cool.

You have a platform in front of you and skyraiders all around it and hovering in the sky. Take out the skyraiders in the sky close to you so you dint have to worry about them while working on the turrets and defense guns.

On the left leg of the ocean rig, you will see turrets, guns, but most importantly a ramp that leads you up and around the ocean rig. Take out all turrets and defensive guns as you make your way up the ramps and around the platforms. Turrets have very long range and can also see thru invisibility. The boss turrets are also toxic, be careful of this because the holds from them can be deadly with the rest of the turrets and guns hitting you.

Make your way up toward the very top of the rig, continue to take out the turrets, skyraiders, and defensive guns. This whole process is "destroying the base defenses." While the team is doing this the AV will spawn at random flying to the platform.

Dray is wearing a purple uniform so it is easy to spot him. He can also summon assault bots to help him. Take him and his team out in order to complete the SF.

Award given: Air Pirate Accolade

A couple of other things to consider.
1- I don't know how many guns need to be taken out in order for the av to spawn. Just keep doing it until you see him.

2 - if you team gets wiped, Dray and his group will fly away to a corner of the map as high into the sky as they can go. Hit him to draw the aggro into the ocean. Taking him on in the ocean if far easier than the platform that still has turrets, guns and mobs around.

Good luck to all of you.

Our team build for final mission

Total Missions: 7

Mission 1
Name: Defeat all Mages in Temple
Zone: Nerva

Setting: N/A
Villain Type: Circle of thorns
Bugged: no

Mission 3
Name: Destroy the Network, 3 Crystals to Destroy

Setting: Water Canal
Villain Type: Devouring Earth and Circle of Thorns
Bugged: no

Mission 5

Zone: Cap Au Diable
Setting: Ship
Villain Type: Tsoo
Bugged: no

Mission 6
Name: Defeat Everyone in Office
Zone: St. Martial
Setting: Dirty Office
Villain Type: Carnies and City of Thorns
Bugged: Yes, zoning in and zoning out did not solve the problem, tried it twice. Needed NCSupport to teleport the villains that was in a wall or ceiling (non target-able or see-able) to our location.

Mission 7:
Name: Defeat Archus
Zone: Nerva
Setting: Temple and Cave
Villain Type: Circle of Thorns
Bugged: yes, buy does not affect the mission being completed, Psionic Crystals are in the wall, target-able but don't actually see them. Also, not sure if this is a bug but only the leader seems to get the temporary power.

Last mission info:

By far IMO, one of the best mission maps this game has to offer. The first part of the map is not very large. Once you reach the inside of a temple there is a "pit" that you can jump down. Its a big drop and will put you into the next map.

You will fall into a cave (with a pink glow) that has a ton of cot, ledges, and Psionic Crystals. If you can stealth, or have someone that can stealth and teleport the team down, it will save you time (to the area with a blue glow).

If not, take out each cot mob until you reach the bottom. The psionic crystals can be destroyed and send a chain reaction of explosions if they are close enough. You can use them to your advantage and hit them around the mobs on the ledges and inflict damage on them. Be warned they can also hurt you if you are to close to the explosions.

Once you reach the area with the blue glow, it will lead you to another small cave area holding the AV. Our team got wiped the first time around and the av also has enough perception to see thru invisibility concealment powers.

When the team begins hitting him, about 50 % health he will summon one heck of a mob to help protect him. Our team got killed on this the first time but managed to take them out the second time, kill the AV and deal with his second summon.

While we were on this mission, I discovered how useful the psionic crystals are. There are a large amount of Psionic crystals in the room containing the AV but there are not that many around him. I would recommend one tactic. If you can get a hold of a mind controller, they can pump themselves up with shields and a break free, land telekinesis on the AV and push it back to the back of the cave where a large amount of psionic crystals are. Once pushed, hit a couple of crystals and send a chain reaction of explosions around the AV.

Good luck to all of you.

Our team build for final mission
lvl 40 corruptor
lvl 36 corruptor
