Missed a level 35 contact and you can't get their missions? Ouroboros. It also lets you replay any arc you want again. Wanna play those awesome Rikti War Zone arcs again? Ouroboros.

Now, how do you get it? Do a story arc or get a badge related to time travel and you'll be "entrusted with the secret" and get a power called the Ouroboros Portal that lets you port directly to the zone.



That was only when we assumed they were all incarnates. Rucluse might actually be fighting them, since I expect villains will be able to do these TFs too.

soo uhh ok where is this contact? I have like 5 lv40+ guys and none of them have the oruoboros thing

It's 25+. As for an easy way to get it, step into RV.


Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.

People, it's instanced.
Positron has confirmed that, but some people still like to panic

I don't believe you. I don't believe that you've never seen/used an O-portal.


There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

Do any mission that involves time travel, or visit the Recluse's Victory PVP zone and get any exploration badge there.

Alternately, the easiest way is to bum a ride with someone else. Ever seen them put down the glowing orange thing that looks like this: <><>? Once you've hit level 25, you can use someone else's portal to go to the zone. From there, you can grab the exploration badge on the roof of the main building.

Once you do any of these things, you'll get your very own portal temp power that you can use any time you want (except in PVP zones).

You have that many folks over 40 and have yet never done anything on this page? Surprising but not impossible I suppose.

You could also use someone else's oro portal to get into the zone and get the exploration badge there for the 'entrusted with the secret' badge.

Sorry, I've just got money riding on you saying, "Oh THAT!" when you see it.

If Dz's on a low pop server, and solos a lot, there's a pretty good chance they wouldn't have seen it.

Minor correction: the exploration badge isn't on the building. It's at the apex of the arch-like structure that connects to the building. Either fly to the top of that or simply run up.

It's on the apex of the gnomon.

I reckon the Coming Storm is a multi dimensional threat, much bigger than Cole and his robot army. And only the power of Incarnates will be able to stop it, hence their introduction at this point.

So I can clearly make out Reichsman, Rommie, and Augustus. The other two figures I can't tell... But they share the white aura used by Reichsman and Augustus, so you guys are probably on track thinking its States and Tyrant.
I noticed something. You see how the glass in the windows are broken? Look at the pillar of ice and flame... It looks like the top is broken. There is also that crystal titan guarding the door... Recall if you will 'As always, look for me in the pillar.'

The top of the pillar looks just fine, if you ask me. Although it does look like it's standing upright, which is interesting considering the rest of Ouroboros is tilted in the water. Though, that in itself isn't that strange, since it does float.

What we know so far.

The Ghost Writer from Ouroborus and other places has predicted a coming storm. And threatened Ouroborus itself with annihilation.

We know that Cole pushed back the Devouring Earth that went nutzoid in Praetoria. Cole defeated the Hamidon there, and established his city safe from the rampant DE threat.

At the end of the I:18 content from the new arcs for Tina and Maria, and the Praetorian Arcs. Cole is set to launch an invasion of Primal Earth, viewing Primal Earth as needing Saving.

This appears to be the "coming storm" foretold in the letters and by the Ouroborus Menders.


What we know about I19.

There will be a new, High level Co-Op Task force to lead into the Alpha Incarnate stuff.

There will be the beginning of Cole's Invasion.

Ouroborus is under attack , and from the other screen shots, so is KR. Since thats the Police HQ in the back ground, looking the worse for wear.

Rampant Speculation

Cole's invasion is the coming storm and that's apparently something Ouroborus is fighting against.

Cole has intel in Primal Earth and he'd have to see Ouroborus, with it's time-line altering abilities as a threat.

My guess... Cole is the one writing the letter's, he's been trying to incite heroes in primal earth not to trust Ouroborus. He sees them as a threat to his plan and he is going to make it his primary target.

In the pictures there are tentacles. BIG Tentacles. They don't look familiar, they don't look like Lusca or the Hydra.

So I'm thinking Cole attacks Ouroborus.... With PRAETORIAN HAMIDON!

Think about it....

We know he beat it, he could have captured it. (In fact I think some of the Praeotorian Arcs alluded to them having the Hamidon creature in captivity some where.)

And the Going Rogue site, in Cole's bio, goes out of it's way to state that Praetorian Hamidon has claws and tentacles. Which I always thought was a weird detail to throw in, if they didn't plan on using it.


Cole Attacks Ouroborus by unleashing the Praetorian Hamidon he captured, all over it.

And we get to fight it! It would certainly be worthy of Incarnate level heroes, and an EPIC fight...

/End Speculation.

Edit: I see a Giant crystal DE monster there in Ouroborus as well. That DE presance makes me think even more,, Praetorian Hamidon VS Ouroborus...
You left out the Shivans and The Rikti which just wipe out what you just told us, The ourobos Arc there said the Shivans are Scouts for the Coming Storm and the Rikti also has a part to play in it, The Preatoria aren't The Coming Storm, but they might be Devourer by it, or cause it to happen bye riping apart space and time.

III. I saw a mirror torn apart, thousand-spiraling work of art, Behind a veil was once a fool, now its creation is its tool, Suffered from a mighty fall, seeks again to consume all, To face it our heroes prep, to win just watch that first step.

V. Bloated life which has not a peer, gobbles all that mankind holds dear, The hive will grow to rise and fall, all will battle the monster tall, Across the way a mirror flow'r, has no such foes slow its devour, Not placated with scraps to eat, it's rage shall spark leader's retreat.

VII. Time's river's course is left to run, till shattered by the million suns, Eternal gear comes back to warn, all must beware the coming storm, From ice and flame and tests of will, forgotten deeds one can fulfill, Has he made strong by accident, those whose acts will despair prevent?

IX. The iron turns into crystal, their doomsday shall be missed til, When a pair of fives arrives, power flows and power drives, The spinning rod lives again, then destroyed in evil's den, Mere prelude to what bright hell, comes from drinking of the well.

X. Man kills brother; sets into motion, a hundred lifetimes of commotion, Meticulous manipulation, attempts to take this very nation, Within mirrors glow he finds a pawn, his trick forces them to take us on, We shall fall for his games no longer, that which challenges makes us stronger.
Those are excerpts from Branford the Seer's letter from the Omega capsule possibly relating to Praetoria, Ouroboros, the Coming Storm, the Devouring Earth and Incarnates. III might just be about Rularuu and X about the truth behind the Rikti War, but since I'm not 100% sure I included them there.

The really interesting one here is IX. I think it's safe to assume that the "iron turned to crystal" is the Crystal Titan while the "pair of fives" is the five Incarnates that hang around the downed Ouroboros HQ. And "the well", of course, refers to the Well of the Furies, the source of Incarnate powers.

What I can't figure out is what the "spinning rod" means or what "evil's den" refers to in particular, but hey, figuring out is half the fun, right?

I thought about what a spinning rod could be for a bit... And what it means by 'it lives again'. Who would use a spinning rod? A Weaver. Weaver-1 lives again?

It's hinted in the new GR content that his Praetorian version is alive there, and is being held prisoner.

I would be quite pleased if the Weaver becomes an active player. I think it would give Recluse a start.

I came back form the Panel and didn't see anything about the Coming Strom, So I do think we be seeing it in the next Issue. Those tentacle have to do with the Hydras and that it and i don't no what going on with Ourobos Sinking, I guess maybe the Praetorians Started there or got fought out there, we just have to wait to find out.

But Weaver-1 isn't dead. Are you thinking of The Weaver?
