Is there an Incarnate Trial Story "transcript"?

Is there a transcript of the dialogue, cutscenes, etc. from all the Incarnate trials available online somewhere? Paragonwiki has just strategy and gamey notes, and I can't find anything via Google either.

I don't know if I will ever do all of the iTrials -- and even if one does participate, people fly through them so fast that one can't read all the text without being accused of door-sitting.

I would like to know exactly what has transpired in story terms, though.

Someone was kind enough to put up the dialog for the Underground Trial on its talk page, but that appears to be it.

You could always turn on your log file and catch it all.

Thanks, but one thing I want to avoid is playing many more iTrials. They are just not my cup of tea.

Maybe transcript was too specific. Just a summary would be nice.

Behavioral Adjustment Facility - Where prisoners go to become mindwashed and reintroduced to society. Mother Mayhem planned to release mindwashed Resistance members into the public to ruin public opinion of them. You dismantle it, destroy the androids Nightstar and Siege in the process, and rescue the Resistance members.

Lambda Sector - Factory of Praetorian weaponry. You rush in, destroy and dismantle the area, and come face to face with Marauder. He's supercharged thanks to a serum from Neuron. You defeat him.

Keyes Island Reactor - Keyes fumes over Praetoria being dismantled, Emperor Cole still not trusting him, and Praetor Duncan spurning his affections. He hooks his armor directly to the reactors to get a massive power boost, as he refuses to let his life's work go down without a fight. You subdue and defeat him after shutting the reactors down one by one.

The Underground - Vanessa DeVore of the Carnival of Light discovers a secret about the Hamidon. You, alongside Desdemona, travel into underground tunnels inhabited by Devouring Earth. After defeating one of the Hamidon's more powerful creations, you discover Vanessa was killed. Desdemona, upon taking her mask, discovers the secret.

Cole never beat the beast. He arranged a deal with it. If humanity could prove their worth, Hamidon would spare them. Ergo, Cole creates a controlled society in the form of Praetoria. The current war set Cole into a panic, and he attempted to control us so Hamidon wouldn't get mad. He failed massively, and Hamidon's furious.

More to follow.

TPN Campus - Armed with the knowledge gained from The Underground trial, you raid the Total Praetoria News network to broadcast this secret to the people. Maelstrom stands in your path, but is defeated. HD, the main guy behind the TPN, airs everything about Cole's deal and the people discover the truth.

Minds of Mayhem - With the people in an uproar, Mother Mayhem uses her mindwashing techniques on all the people of Praetoria and beyond. Metronome, the Praetorian Clockwork King, is now inhabiting Siege's body and working with the Resistance at this point. You, alongside the Resistance, defeat Malaise, separate Shalice Tilman from Aurora Borealis's body, and free the Seer Network. You effectively kill Mother Mayhem, ending her forever. Also, Calvin Scott discovers he never was married to Aurora, but was instead a patient at the Mother of Mercy hospital and went insane, making up a fictional backstory and motivation.

Dilemma Diabolique - After the events of Dark Astoria, Diabolique has captured the Freedom Phalanx, the Vindicators, and the "reformed" Dominatrix. She plans to abosrb Mot's essence, as well as those of the heroes, to become death incarnate. You foil her plans, destroy her, and put an end to the terrors of Dark Astoria once and for all. Dream Doctor offers his aid, and explains the Dagger of Jocas used to seal Mot could be useful in defeating Cole.

The Magisterium - Takes place after the Belladonna Vetrano arc. Praetoria is effectively dismantled and everyone evacuated. The Incarnates, Resistance, Dominatrix, and Dream Doctor team up to finish things. Emperor Cole sends his last remaining lieutenants after the Incarnates, but to no avail. Seeing the ruin and his deserted city, Cole launches a nuke over Nova Praetoria to completely destroy it while tapping into the Well's Power entirely. Using the Quills of Jocas, you separate Cole from the Well and finally defeat him within the crater that was once the Magesterium. Victory is yours, for now.

BRILLIANT! Thanks, Xzero!

There were significant events I had no idea about even in trials I had done. E.g. Now I understand what Belladonna was talking about when she said Calvin Scott was insane.

My hat's off to you if you picked this info up while running along with the league defeating massive spawn after massive spawn.


This is definitely much appreciated.

Where?
That page says "click on the far right", but there is nothing to click. It's a blank page.

I would love to know HOW Vanessa DeVore died. I get the impression that she had become the Avatar, but nobody will give me a straight answer when I ask if they know and wiki doesn't know.

T Immortalus: It's implied she ran pretty much right into the Avatar, which flattened her easily. I recall a line saying something like "I think I'm okay now, this cavern looks aband- wait. What's.. Oh... Oh no!" She says something about how huge "it" is, and that's the last we hear of her.


-STEELE =)


Allied to all sides so that no matter what, I'll come out on top!
Oh, and Crimson demands you play this arc-> Twisted Knives (MA Arc #397769)

There is a link on the right side of the page that says "[show]". It reveals the dialogue from the trial, including this:

[Caption] Vanessa says: 'I... I have no words. The walls, they are alive. I seem to have stumbled into an infestation of the Devouring Earth, here in the tunnels. They... they are battling with Tyrant's men, so I have some cover to move on.'

[Caption] I will keep moving... I cannot allow either the Devouring Earth or the IDF to find me!

[Caption] Vanessa says: 'No! They've found me. Please, you must hurry!'

[Caption] Vanessa says: 'Where are you? The Devouring Earth... I'm cornered.... What... what is that!? No!'

[Caption] Vanessa says: 'Hurry! This... monster! I... I don't think I can hold it off much longer!'

[Caption] Desdemona says: 'The spores in the air here are exceptionally toxic. We're going to need to move quickly through here, or the effects will eventually overwhelm us!'

[Caption] Vanessa's Spirit says: 'It is done. The terrible beast has vanquished me. Your only hope now is to recover my mask. Within it is my consciousness. Recover it and the secret will be revealed. Do not let my death be in vain!'

I don't get this at all. Somehow his connection to the Well lets him power up from dead people? So he nukes the whole city to have a bunch of dead people to drain so he can fight you? When did that become a power?

Not only does he have the power from Zeus that Statesman had (RIP), but he also has the power from Tartarus that Lord Recluse has.

He killed his world's Stephan Richter at the Well of the Furies and gained the powers of both Zeus and Tartarus.

Other than that:


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Black Pebble is my new hero.

He didn't actually nuke the city it is just what people says about it after seeing destruction. He just called power of tartarus and a big boom happened. City was already evacuated or implied that way if you played some other missions (Cole's personal story and Sword of Emperor).
