Praetorian Swimming Badge

So, I picked up the new Vidiots map, and decided to get the badge for swimming all of Praetoria's rivers. I've gone over every marker twice now, but my bar is stuck at 18/19. Has anyone had this issue? Or found a way to fix it?

Update... Some of the badges are on multiple maps. It looks like you have to hit the marker on both sides in order to earn it. I had missed one of the markers in the river between Neuvo Praetoria and Imperial City

Let me guess:


Here is where all the locations are:


Basically the only location you have to choose a "map" for is the one circled in red. The other locations on the zone boundaries count on either map. Either (NP or IC) or (IC and Neu).

Yep, that was indeed the one. Man, did it ever piss me off trying to find that missing marker.

what do you mean by "choosing" a map for that one location? is that one available only on one of the zones, even though it appears on two zone maps?

That particular bridge only gives credit when swimming under the Imperial City side. It is the only bridge that spans a zone boundary where both halves do not provide credit for the River Rat badge.

I found the easiest way to be sure was just to line up under the middle of the bridge on shore in one zone and swim across until it triggered the load for the next zone and keep swimming... it triggered pretty reliably. It just was annoying.


City of Heroes was my first MMO, & my favorite computer game.

Actually, I just do this:

  • In Nova Praetoria, swim around the NE, E, SE, S locations.
  • In Imperial City swim to all locations.
  • For the two bridges spanning the Imperial City and Neutropolis borders, swim under them on either zone, but you don't have to do it for both zones.
  • In Neutropolis, swim the rest of the badges except the two where the bridges are on the waterline.
  • For those two swim to one side perpendicular to the bridge, hop onto the bridge, and jump in the opposite side.
