Croatoa Query

Hi,

I am actually going through all the Croatoa content for the first time on a single toon. I've done bits and pieces with several of my alts, but never really went from top to bottom.

I started with Gordon Bower of course. However...now that I'm on Buck Salinger(is that spelled right?), I seem to have hit a wall. I went through his story arcs and *SPOILERS AHEAD* after stopping the Red Caps from moving Salamanca into the spirit world, everything just stops. I got no reference to a new contact and no real sense that the story had ended...I don't think I even got merits to indicate that I had completed a story arc.

My Warshade was 32 at the time with less than a bar left to hit 33. Is my level too high, or is this how the Croatoa content ends?

Any responses will be appreciated!

That is the last Croatoa arc, and you should have gotten like 8 or 10 merits from it - it's a while since I played it, but I'm totally sure it's the final one, even if it doesn't feel like a final arc for the zone

It really doesn't feel like the last arc. And I cant remember seeing the merits awarded pop-up on the screen.

Guess I'll have to find something else to pursue with my Warshade now...

Per the wiki (http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Croatoa):

Regular Contacts

Gordon Bower
Skipper LeGrange
Kelly Nemmers
Buck Salinger
Percy Winkley

Salinger is the final "Regular" contact in Croatoa (I don't consider Percy Winkley to be a "Regular" contact, as he gives out only the "Origin of Power" super-short "arc"). Once you complete Buck Salinger's content, you also unlock access to Katie Hannon and can initiate her TF on that character. :-)

IRC, doesn't the Croatoa story continue into Katie Hannon TF? That's why Buck Salinger feels incomplete.

Precisely. As you finished Buck Salinger, he should have told you about Katie Hannon. This introduction does not work like intros to new contacts. He simply tells you about her. She does not appear on your contact list nor does a little yellow arrow come up to point you to her. Ernesto Hess is introduced in the same way on Striga Isle.

The Katie Hannon Trial is definitely the end that you are looking for. It ties up all of those loose threads.

Good luck!

But at least Lars Hanson's arc ends with you talking to Hess, so you don't have to go looking for him when you are ready to do his TF.

True, but it's not that hard to find Katie. Buck tells you she's in Sunset Ridge, doesn't he? And you can always go to vidiotmaps if all else fails.

It doesn't look like he does anymore. I just finished the arc a couple weeks ago and he didn't.

Oh, that's not good. Might want to report that.
