Primals getting the 100 Seers badge

I spent all morning hopping around Praetoria to grab the badges on my new badge character (one I can actually stand playing as opposed to my purpled out Spines/Regen who just seems so slow in comparison to my SS/Fire Brute) and managed to pick up everything (River Rat was a pain in the backside, as I ended up doing 3 laps around the three entire zones to try and find the two I was missing, which were the two in Neutropolis that don't have water beneath them). except two badges.

I've figured out that the Failed Experiments only show up in the zone event, or in missions.

But I'm having difficulty finding Seers. I saw two groups of 3 in Imperial City and that was pretty much it. I know they show up individually around Nova Praetoria's starting area, but I bet there is some area I missed where they show up with some regularity.

Go back to Nova Praetoria and wait for the zone event. You can get about 20 a crack during the event. Then just go around the zone picking up strays around the bridges.

They're also on the rooftops in Neutropolis ... around the warehouses and government buildings not the run-down resistance town.

Getting them during the events is doable but it only took me about 10-15 minutes of street sweeping around those Neutropolis rooftops to finish that badge.

There's at least a dozen or so spawn points that always respawn single seers at those points. They seem to like to sit on roofs at the corners of buildings west of the prison like gargoyles. It was easy enough to cycle through them because by the time you'd get back around to the first one it'd be respawned waiting to be popped again.

in the revamped preatorian arcs, there is a mission where you can find seers. i can't remember which of the two contacts give it, but i got most of them that way. if i realized how hard it would be to find them anywhere else i would have just reset the mission.

Either the aforementioned Praetorian arc, or for hunting parties, check West of Nightstar in Imperial City for spawns of 4 in a group

You can usually find several in the various Undergrounds as well.

One of my Primal badgers got it via that revamped Praetorian mission soon after Issue 18 went live. Of course you have to have access to that mission which may take a lot of time to set up.

The main advantage of popping the "gargoyle" ones on the tops of the buildings at the west end of Neutropolis is that they are permanent spawns there. You don't have to go looking for them because they always respawn back at the same points. Once I got going I was able to kill one roughly every 5 to 10 seconds continuously until I was done.

There's a nice set that gathers outside of the TPN building in IC, near the sidewalk. I think there's 3 or 4 there, and if you go... it's either East, or Southeast (I forget what angle the building is at, but basically, start at the left side as you face the building, and go right), when you get to the road, there's a low fence around a building across the street. There's usually 1 on the other side.

Circle around the back of the TPN building, and you might find 1 or 2. By the time you circle back to the front, the Seers will generally have respawned. It's a nice little loop.

Yep, I farmed my badge out quickly in the Underground as well.

Part 8 (the mission with Mother Mayhem and Malaise) of the revamped Maria Jenkins' arc "A Hero's Epic" is entirely Seers. Makes for a quick badge once you get to it.... >.>

I just swept up and down the east shoreline of Imperial City my last go at the badge. There's about a half-dozen spawns that swap between "Four seers accosting a citizen" and "Lone Seer- PPD mastermind".

One thing to remember about the Praetorian Defeat Badges is that it's not "Defeat 100 Enemies", it's "Defeat 100 Points worth of Enemies". Minions are 1 point, Lieutenants are 2 points, bosses are 5 points. These badges can be acquired ridiculously fast if you organize a team of badge hunter characters to go to Praetoria to get them because you'll get larger spawns and more LTs and Bosses too.

I've always had good luck finding Seers around the outskirts of Synapse's Tower in Neutropolis and then in the IC Underground. I think it's IC anyway. Even while solo, if I just attack every Seer I see when I'm running around getting explore badges, once I make it to Neutropolis, I'm only about 25 points of Seers away from the badge.
