Heya guys . I dont know if other players get this problem or not but when I get this mish from Agent G, when I try to go to the target marking the mission objective destination I dont know exactly how to get to it because it just points down into the ground when I get to it and the closest ive ever got to it was probably about 20 or 40ft/m away from it. I dont know if you guys understand what I mean but if anyone has had the problem im getting then they would most likely understand. Its kinda hard to explain lol. Please help here guys . Thx

there are tunnels right there that you need to go in. check the side of the cliffs on the other side of the damn.

As Sharker said there is an extensive tunnel system under the dam and the entrances to the missiomns are there. To get to the entrance, exit the door behind Agent G, and head west along the damn until you find a large conrete depression in the ground. Hopefully you still have your Arbiter costume temporary power since the tunnels are tight and full of arachnos (turn of any aura powers you might have).

Huh, I never knew there was an entrance on the northern side of the dam.

It's not advisable if you're sub-20

I went to them places but it says "I must complete my active mission before entering another one" and the one i have active is the Clear 1st ruin one.

EDIT: Wait no its ok I found it thanks mate . I used the southern tunnel entrance. It worked :P Thanks.

Name the server and your avatar name, and I'll be right there.

I won't rip open my T-shirt and fly out the window to rescue you because first, I'm not wearing my costume, and second, I can't actually fly in RL - but me clicking the CoH icon on my desktop will have more or less the same effect for you

EDIT: Oh wait, you found it

You don't have to click anything except the mission door. Arachnos tunnels are part of the zone map, and inside them there are three mission doors to the ruins you have to clear and IIRC two Arachnos-style hatches near tunnel enterances, you don't neeed these.

(There are also similar tunnels in Bricks, thankfully, they are much less used.)

Most likely, he clicked the wrong door trying to enter the dam.

On the north side of the damn along the edge of the western cliff where the red-arrow is on the map, there is a scraggly looking tree. The tunnel entrance is a hole in a pit under the tree. Like 3dent said, you don't actually click on a door to enter the tunnel.

Explore the tunnels until you find the door with the mission indicator.

Or take GG up on her offer. I would.

I understand your frustration. The first time I had that mish, I wandered that stupid dam for at least 40 minutes

basically, if you see a miki on Triumph, it's probably cute and it's probably me.

Huge thanks to cuppamanga and all the folks in the mac help forum for prolonging my borrowed time on this game.

Same, then came here and asked on the forums just like the OP.

One of those hatches will be used right after clearing the third ruin.

As for the tunnels in Bricks, I get those way to frequently on radio missions there.

Sure it is. Under normal curcumstances, the intent was for you to be playing these missions while you still had the Arachnos Disguise. That makes navigating the tunnels easy.

Problem is, a lot of people tend to stop after that prior mission, so the disguise is gone when they come to play again (real time timer not play time).

Was anyone else moderately aroused by the thought of GG ripping open her T-shirt?

Yes, my dear, it did indeed "have an effect" on me!

Wouldn't it be easier just to say, "From Agent G go right outside through the double doors then go right and go into the Archnos base, look for a bright red tunnel". This is a hard way because of the guns and level of the Archnos but I would think it would be the fastest way.

Also the quest should mention the word 'tunnels'. That would give the player a better idea on what to look for.

Poor wording for a mission.
