This is where it all begins. As in all level ranges, there is an exploration badge in a mayhem mission to be found, and this one is very easy to outlevel.
Global Threat exploration badge (Invader)
Found in the Atlas Park mayhem mission map (1542.8 0.0 660.5).
The Mongoose (Marshal)
Defeat 25 Snakes. (Very easy.)
Kingmaker exploration badge (Invader)
Found in the Kings Row mayhem mission map (-252.1 -42 -2514.8).
Road Raged exploration badge (Invader)
Found in the Skyway City mayhem mission map (-648, -41, -4031).
Paragon of Vice (Marshal)
Complete the Defeat all Arachnos personnel mission by Willy Wheeler.
Spider Smasher (Pain)
Defeat 100 Wolf Spiders to earn this badge. Only the Wolf Spiders level 20 or below count. (Very easy)
Gangbuster (Pain)
Kill 200 Family (Marcone) Bosses. (An 8 person team hunting throughout southern and northern Port Oakes is the best bet.)
Electrician (Potato)
Defeat 200 Demons in Cap Au Diable. (Follow the scaffolding in Cap au Diable. It leads the way to 5 generators where anywhere from 4-6 gremlins spawn. Also, fighting and defeating Deathsurge in northern Diable counts for 50 gremlin kills.)
Coldhearted (Demonic)
Kill 250 Hellfrosts or Hordelings. (Start at the south eastern part of the map in Diable Mountain in Cap au Diable. Then work your way north and all the way west along the north coast. Continue this circle.)
The reason to get Lorekeeper this early is because it opens up Archmage Tarixus, who you can access at level 25.
Steel Worker exploration badge (Invader)
Found in the Skyway City mayhem mission map (-648, -41, -4031).
Strikebreaker (Megalomaniac)
Complete the Bust up the dockworker's strike mission by Lorenz Ansaldo.
Man/Woman in Black (Megalomaniac)
Defeat 100 Shivans. (Don't feel like hunting in Bloody Bay? Farm the all Shivan mission from Marshall Brass instead! All Shivan types count.)
Strike Buster (Potato)
Defeat 100 scrapyarders to earn this badge.
Explore Cap au Diable (Demonic, Pain)
1 Lorekeeper history plaque (-1711, 0, -1108)
3 Technofreak history plaques (923, 21, -1422; 2345, 3, 1544; -2428, 224, -932)
Explore Mercy Island (Demonic, Marshal)
1 Lorekeeper history plaque (-907, 100, -378)
The Next Big Thing exploration badge (-1215, 239, -152)
Explore Port Oakes (Demonic)
1 Lorekeeper history plaque (-1545, 35, 1946)
Explore Sharkhead Isle (Demonic)
2 Lorekeeper history plaques (-827, 0, -410; 757.2, 32.0, -376.3)
Forged by Hellfire exploration badge (1971, 64, -193)
Tyrannical exploration badge (Invader)
Found in the Independence Port mayhem mission map (-1194 -32 -2669).
Soul Taker (Demonic)
Complete the Offer Soul of Akarist mission by Archmage Tarixus.
Explore Nerva Archipelago (Pain)
Locked and Loaded exploration badge (3286, 126, 3644)
If you complete all of these, you should get the High Pain Threshold accolade.
Talon of Talos exploration badge (Invader)
Found in the Talos Island mayhem mission map (-1438.6 160.0 6876.9).
Bad Luck (Pain)
Complete the Steal artifact from Tavaris mission by Hard Luck.
Deathless (Pain)
Pay off 5,000,000 Debt. If you manage the other (Pain) tasks here before level 29, you will get High Pain Threshold as soon as you get this badge. I do not recommend dying just to get the debt; all the accolade does is make you die less.
Many of these missions take place in Warburg, where you are limited to level 38, thus the unusual level maximum on these tasks. Completing these gives you the Force of Nature accolade.
Brickhouse exploration badge (Invader)
Found in the Brickstown mayhem mission map (-161.4 0.5 -147.3).
Crystal Keeper (Pain)
Complete the Ice Mistral strike force in St. Martial.
Surging (Potato)
Complete the Ice Mistral strike force in St. Martial.
Explore St. Martial (Marshal, Potato)
1 Arachnos Rising history plaque (456, 33, 1230)
Crimelord exploration badge (-895, 10, -1496)
Explore Warburg (Marshal, Megalomaniac)
1 Arachnos Rising history plaque (-1038, 100, -816)
Weapon of Mass Destruction exploration badge (-768, 144, 0)
Triumphant exploration badge (228, 274, 32)
At this point you earn the Arachnos Rising history badge and the Demonic and Megalomanic accolades.
Anarchist exploration badge (Invader)
Found in the Founders Falls mayhem mission map (3801.9 4.3 2687.2).
Explore Grandville (Demonic, Marshal, Potato)
2 Arachnos Rising history plaques (1724, -459, 1514; 2764, -340, 794)
Overlord exploration badge (1358, -441, -596.5)
Master of the Airwaves exploration badge (2726, 734, 1043)
Explore Recluses Victory (Megalomaniac)
Last Stand exploration badge (1081.4, 0.1, -135.9)
The last accolades, Invader, Couch Potato and Marshal.
Gate Crasher exploration badge (Invader)
Found in the Peregrine Island mayhem mission map (-1153.7, 0.5, -3079.0).
Media Junkie (Potato)
Complete the "Destroy Donated Books" mission from the Television.
Annihilator (Marshal)
Defeat the Freedom Phalanx in Lord Recluse's Strike Force.
Native (Potato)
Collect 25 Badges. By following this guide, you completed this long ago.
These are for the Force of Nature accolade; I guess it is reasonable to expect to get this one around level 40. Most of the tasks are things you would do anyway. Firebug looks like the most difficult one; look out for arson side missions.
Hero Slayer (Force)
Defeat Signature heroes in mayhem missions.
Firebug (Force)
Complete 10 Arsons in mayhem missions.
Vandal (Force)
Destroy items in mayhem missions.
Outlaw (Force)
Defeat Paragon Police in mayhem missions.
Impounder (Force)
Destroy vehicles in mayhem missions.
Safe Cracker (Force)
Destroy 10 vault doors in mayhem missions.
Nice guide!
Pre-I7, Surging was given for defeating Deathsurge (the Gremlin Monster) in Cap Au Diable. Is this no longer correct?

Ops, a copy-paste error there. Thanks for catching it.
Also, the accolade for the immoblizer ray is "Headline Stealer". And Couch Potato is the mission badge from the Television required for it.
Never surrender! Never give up!

this is not the way to grind for coldhearted. i tried it and saw hordes of cot and maybe 5 hordelings. just go to sharkhead and circle around the villa requin in the water. youll see plenty more hellfrost there than hordelings in cap.

Aye. Go to Sharkhead and check around the outter edge of Potters Field as well. Constantly run into Hellfrosts on the beaches. Once around may net you 5-10 Hellfrosts.

Just noticed this. Think you meant Steel Canyon, and what would be the correct coordinates for it?

I'm 33 and have the arson 3/4 completed, but need about 90% more sig heroes. You need only 10 arsons, but something like 100 heroes. I like mayhem missions, but not enough to do 100 of them. What's the best way to take down more signature heroes?
Awesome guide ill definately use this

Find several friends. (8 is ideal). Run enough newspapers so that all of you get a mayhem. Run 8 mayhems (do not autocomplete). Finish out once the hero is dead.
Do this a couple of times a week.
This is a badge hunting guide focused on accolades. It is for villains who dont care too much about badges, but dont want to miss out on the accolades. It is set up as a number of tasks that you should before certain levels. If you complete all these tasks, you will get all the accolades. Many tasks have a maximum level after which you will either not get experience for them, or be unable to do them at all, so look ahead.
This guide is a compilation, and not based on personal research. All my data comes from other sites, I have merely sorted and analyzed it. My main source is City Information Terminal . I also heartily recommend Vidiot Maps . It is entirely based on these sources and not on personal experience I have no villain accolades as yet and wrote this to aid myself when looking for them.
Throughout, I use the coordinate system built into the City of Heroes engine. You get your current coordinates using the /loc command.
Introducing the Accolades
There are seven accolades you can earn in the City of Villains, and they are supposed to correspond to the seven accolades of City of Heroes. I do not count special accolades, like the ones that let you respect or which only grant a costume piece. The accolades are listed in the order you will get them if you follow this guide.
High Pain Threshold (Hereafter Pain)
Level 35 (no minimum). A 10% increase in hit points. This corresponds to the hero accolade Freedom Phalanx Reserve Member.
Force of Nature
Level 40 (no minimum). Increase your recharge speed, Endurance recovery, and Accuracy for 1 minute. Defense will be severely reduced. Long recharge (guesstimate 25 minutes). Corresponds to the Geas of the Kind Ones hero accolade.
Demonic
Level 45 (no strict minimum). This is a 25-minute-recovery click power that grants a lot of resistance and defense to all but psi, at the cost of speed, recharge and accuracy. This corresponds to the Hero accolade Archmage.
Megalomaniac
Level 45 (minimum 40). This is a 25-minute-recovery click power that doubles the duration of all your Disorient, Hold, Immobilize, Fear, Confuse and Sleep powers. Knockback distance is also increased. This corresponds to the Hero accolade Vanguard.
Invader
Level 50 (no minimum). +5% hit points. Equivalent to the Task Force Commander accolade for heroes.
Couch Potato (Hereafter Potato)
Level 50 (no minimum). This is a 25-minute-recovery click power attack that immobilizes. Corresponds to the hero accolade Conspiracy Theorist.
Marshal
Level 50 (Minimum 45). +5% Endurance. This corresponds to the Hero accolade Received the Atlas Medallion.
