Options for getting these two Exploration badges?

Hi Guys,
am working on my Portal Jockey accolade on my just levelled 49 ill/rad troller.
I missed Tina McIntyre (lvl 40-45) as a contact and so have done her AV mish by flashback.
However she does not offer the badge mission for the Multidimentional exploration badge.
I also need to get the Shrouded badge from Maria Jenkins (lvl 45-50) but as yet have not been introduced to her by Crimson.
I believe I can get the Multidimentional badge from Unia Kemster (?) (lvl 45-50) but as yet have not got him as a contact.
Is my only option to turn off earning xp and work on Crimson till I get the lvl 45-50 contacts and then do their badge arcs and then eventually pick up Maria's AV arc as it comes or perhaps by flashback?
Cheers
PS. To end on a positive note, I see no problems getting the History Plaques!

There's no need to turn off XP as far as I know. You can probably just get Unai by doing police band missions and then a safeguard.


Issue 16 made me feel like this.

The multidimensional mission is offered through obo (2 mission arc if I remember right).

From ParagonWiki.com about the Multidimensional badge:

"Multidimensional is awarded for completing either of two missions to the Hydra dimension given out by Tina Macintyre or a similar mission given out by Unai Kemen. "

"The easiest way to get this badge is by way of Flashback Arc but you need to be level 46-50. Go to any Flashback Crystal either in Ouroboros or your Super Group base, select the Category "Hero of the City (Level 46 - 50)", then select the Arc named "To Save a Thousand Worlds". The Multidimensional Badge can be obtained from the first mission in this Arc called '5.1 Find the missing scientists'. You do not get the badge just from entering the mission, you must complete the objective then upon exit you will receive the badge."

I was pretty sure there was an actual marker in the mish you had to run over.

It's been a while but I seem to remember it like Ironblade described/quoted. It's like the badge was supposed to apply to the entire map as a "location" instead of just one spot. I always thought it was a little weird to force an Explore badge to work like that but it is what it is.

I know Shady/Shrouded works like that, but I was pretty sure Multidimensional didn't.

Shrug.

If a character enters then instantly leaves the badge should be awarded on exit.

Hi Guys,
thanks for all your answers

I went back and had another look at the lists using the O crystal and saw that in the 40-45 level, the mission Head of the Hydra, which was the last one in the listings, can be selected.
This gives the MultiDimentional badge during the first mission so is available after Tina is outlevelled as a contact.
I ran it and was about 6 minutes into the mission when I was awarded the badge.
I believe that Snow-Globe is exactly correct about an in and out strategy and will confirm with another toon later today.
The Shrouded badge is available during two missions of the Maria arc which is available through flashback lvls 45-50.
So to sum up, my fears about outlevelling the content required for the Accolade were unfounded and the whole thing can be obtained by any level 50 toon regardless of their route to that level.

Thanks for the support it really did help to get me focused
Cheers

You can get auto award on Multidimensional by ouro'ing to Tina's mish, entering and exiting 15 secs or so after. Quit TF and you'll get the badge (that's how I got the badge on a couple of toons that would have abbhorred Tina)

I'm attempting to get Shrouded on my 42 troller. The mission Disrupt Nightstar's Ritual offered by Maria is sorta rare, since most people stop doing mishs for her after the main Praetorian arc she offers.
However, I read on Paragon Wiki that the badge is slightly bugged and is rewarded for spending time on ANY mish with a King's Row-esque outdoor map. Anyone know of an arc offered through Ouro that I can access to try this out?
