Monkeywrencher - where to find the titans?

So I still need about ten titans, and I've exhausted Crimson's missions. Short of flashbacking, where can I find some more of these buggers? Wiki sez Peregrine Island and Rikti War Zone, but I've never seen any around there. I've also never managed to get two hercs to combine (yes, I've gotten them to very, very low health and next-to-each-other proximity; doesn't work) so if there's a good strategy there, let me know. ;P

Up No. of players and include bosses at the hero corps, and do malta radio mishes.

Or wait till GR switch over and do LRSF loads in there.


Too many 50's to list here's a few you may know.
Slazenger, Area51, Area53, Area54, Erruption, Mind Plague, Thresher, Sheath, Broadside, Debt

What you listed is it.

RWZ and PI are the only places Malta spawn in the open, so those are the only places you would see Titans in the open.

Your only other option is to Ouro Crimson's arc or find somebody whose running Crimson's arc.

You can also go to Warburg, agro some Hercules titans to make them spawn into Zeus. Although you might need a team for that one.

As far as I can tell, they will only ever combine if they start out in the same spawn. I have never gotten Titans from two different spawns to combine, regardless of health and proximity.

I had one run away as a damaged herc and come back as a zeus. I assume he found a second spawn and merged but I really don't know.

I can be found, outside of paragon city here.
Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

This badge can be a real pain to get. One other option available is to run (or Ouroboros) Crimson's arc as there are several named bosses in that arc who will always be Zeus Titans. In fact, if you are solo and playing something that might have difficulty bringing down a Titan you can even run the arc at the -1 / x0 / No Bosses setting and you can get lieutenant-class Zeus Titans that still count for the badge.

Of course the downside of this approach is that it basically requires you to go intot he mission, take out one guy, exit, reset... lather, rinse, repeat. Potentially 50 times.
It's dull but reliable if you can't get a large team going to farm a mission for them. I eventually had to cap off the last few my Defender needed doing this.

I've found that doing Boss Defeats Badge Hunts if u can form a team min/max of 3 they spawn all over the place which has worked great for me on my last 10 badgers. So if u got friends or in a very supporting SG it will be easy to do no matter what u are hunting for and the spawns are so great I averaged major badges in 20min to and hour depending the arch type I was hunting with even faster if trollers on the team for larger group kills.

Hope this helps.

For most badges the above works very well, but Monkeywrencher and Illusionist are special cases in that you can't just find them on the street. Illusionist requires you to find a certain kind of boss, a Master Illusionist, and keep it alive while you farm its summmoned minions.

This particular badge, Monkeywrencher, is for the Zeus Titans who form from two Hercules Titans. I can say from experience that trying to hunt for this badge outdoors can be frustrating indeed. Sometimes you get lucky, but you can have a long string with nothing.

I got the badge on my badger from them in Warburg. There is usually 2 groups of them being escorted by either 1 or 2 crab boss's along with the 2 Hercules Titans that you need to damage a bit to have them join.

It can be a pain if you don't have enough damage I did it solo on my Brute. My tank had trouble with it
