Alpha Slot Mission ???

what are the requirements to run this mission, I assume the primary character has to be 50, but what about sidekicks?

Being 50 and access to Oroborous is the only requirement. Some folks have had issues with too many open arcs to get the mission from the contact, so make sure you have cleared your arcs.

what about "sidekicks", do they have to be 50 as well?

I think the OP is asking if you can invite non-50s to team with you during the arc. I don't know the answer to that question.


I gotta make pain. I gotta make things right. I gotta stop what's comin'. 'Least I gotta try.

They do not. I helped a friend's villain with the Mender Ramiel arc last night and the highest villain I had on that server was 39; she exemped up normally and we fought our way through with no problems. Of course, non-50s can't get their own copy of the mission and don't get the Alpha unlock or a shard at the end; but they can earn XP, Inf, Vanguard Merits, defeat badges (I picked up Centurion), and so on with no problem.

There is a rumor that everyone needs to have Cimerora unlocked, having completed the appropriate arc and talked to Imperious; this would effectively set a minimum level of 35 to help out. I haven't tested this yet.

To get your own arc yes, but also just to be on a team running the arc?

I really wish people would stop spreading this. It isn't true.

Mender Ramiel's mission text does tell you that you have to visit a cave in Cimerora, but an Ouroboros Mender is NOT going to send you to use someone else's stolen Crystal of Ice and Flame to travel through time. The mission door is the crystal right beside him; it sends you into the cave he tells you about, and you never actually set foot in the actual Cimerora Zone.

The reason people keep spreading this is because it may be true. No, you do not go to the Cimerora zone as part of the story arc, but people are reporting that if they haven't talked to Imperious as part of Montague Wossname's "introduction to Cimerora" mission, Mender Ramiel won't give them the Alpha Slot arc.

Yes, that's a villain. But it demonstrates that the badge is not required to get the mission. If heroes are being required to have it (based on your mention of Montague Castanella), then that's obviously a bug; otherwise, villains would need to finish Ashley's arc too.

So, with that in mind....

To also confirm this I did the Alpha slot, and even had my T1 Alpha slotted when I realized I couldn't go the Cimerora. Then went and did that mission Arc so I could.


So Double Busted, you definitely DO NOT need to have Cimerora unlocked to complete your Alpha Slot Mission.

We're in Ouroboros. We're standing directly in front of Mender Ramiel. We've not a single mission in our tab, but all he says is , "Settle anything you need to finish, blah blah blah..."

What gives??

it's a mission arc.

Check your other contacts and clear out old arcs.

A popular way seems to be if your a hero, and have done the Midnighter's arc, make sure you talked to Montague again and did his "Talk to Imperious" mission to clear out that arc - quick and easy one there.

You probably have too many arcs currently open. Here's the part that REALLY sucks. If you switched sides, like if you're hero now and started as a villain, you might have to go all the way back to villain to close out the arcs.

Ashley isn't the same person as Montague, so you can't say it's busted based on that.

Good grief, this is frustrating.

My brother had the same thing. No open missions, but he got the "you're too busy" line from Ramiel.

Turns out he had 12 open story arcs (books next to contacts). At my advice he completed one (Serpent Drummer), and whatdoyouknow Ramiel suddenly had time for him!

Now I know people keep claiming that it has nothing to do with arcs, and that Ramiel is bugged and stuff, but double check it anyway please.
