This is the second in a series of posts which I hope will provide a guide to the new Epic Mission Arc included in the Apocrypha expansion for EVE Online. Click here for part one.

The guide continues…

Epic Mission Arc: The Blood-Stained Stars

Chapter 1: Quality of Mercy

Mission 4: Retrieving Red

This is another combat mission requiring you to go to the location given and retrieve the remains of someone called ‘Red’ from some more Corpii pirates. As you’ll remember from our last encounter with the Corpii they do mainly EM and THERM damage, and are weakest to the same, so fit accordingly.

Wave 1:
3 x Corpii Worshipper (Frigate)
One of the ships in this wave will drop a can containing the corpse of ‘Red’, as before you can either grab it and head back to Tervis Jak or continue killing things.

Wave 2:
1 x Corpii Diviner (Frigate)

Loot the can for the corpse and head back to Tervis Jak.

Mission 5: Alerting Alitura

The objective of this mission is simply to return to Sister Alitura in Arnon and speak to her. Doing this completes the mission.

Mission 6: Jet-Canning a Janitor

This is another combat mission, though this time you’ll be going up against Coreli pirates. These pirates do mainly KIN and THERM damage and are weak to KIN and THERM, again adjust your resists and ammunition accordingly.

Note: At this level of difficulty it doesn’t actually make that much difference whether you tailor your resists and damage to your expected opponent, but it is a good habit to get into for tackling higher level missions. The faster you can take your enemy down (damage) and the longer your tank lasts (resists) the more likely you are to succeed.

Wave 1:
2 x Coreli Spy (Frigate)

Wave 2:
4 x Coreli Scout (Frigate)

Once you’ve dealt with the pirates the janitor will contact you from his shuttle, which should show up in your overview. If it doesn’t adjust your overview setting to display ‘spawn containers’, approach the shuttle and transfer him to your hold. Return to Sister Alitura to complete.

Mission 7: Chivvying a Chef

We’re beginning to see a pattern here. This mission is pretty much the same mission as the last one except this time you’re going up against rogue drones. Upon warping to the mission bookmark you will recieve a transmission from the chef telling you that his propulaion systems are shot and he’s dead in space, approach his ship and be ready for the drones. Again you can either grab him and run or fight the drones.

Note: Drones are very fast and will come in quite close, If you’re doing these missions in anything bigger than a frigate it may be worth investing in drones of your own or a Webifier of some description as bigger guns will have difficulty hitting them at close range.

Wave 1:
2 x Infester Alvi (Frigate)

Wave 2:
4 x Splinter Alvi (Frigate)

Once you’ve picked up the Chef from his broken ship return to Sister Alitura for your next mission.
