(Heroic) Postmodern Prometheus

Ikora is reluctantly allowing Asher to explore a plan where he'd convert the Traveler's energy into a form of synthetic Light.

Overview

(Heroic) Postmodern Prometheus is the Heroic version of the Adventure Postmodern Prometheus on Echo Mesa. Ikora Rey reluctantly lets Asher Mir try converting the Traveler's energy into synthetic Light, at the Lost Oasis near Terrabase Charon.

Heroic Adventures were a Year 1 feature: each week the destination of the active Flashpoint had its Adventures flagged as Heroic, in the rotation European Dead Zone, Nessus, Tangled Shore, Io, Mercury, Titan, Mars. They are launched from the destination map, or from the NPC who offers the Adventure (Asher Mir). The game lists them at a nominal 750 Power. Heroic completions count towards the Wayfarer seal triumphs.

Encounters and mechanics

  1. Collect the Traveler's energy.
  2. Calibrate Asher's test equipment.
  3. Protect the equipment from Vex (Goblins, Minotaurs, Cyclopes) and Taken. The experiment fails: only the Traveler can grant Light. The title nods to Frankenstein's subtitle and an X-Files episode.

Rewards

Completion counts towards the Wayfarer seal; the base Adventure Postmodern Prometheus has the same story and steps. No Heroic-specific rewards are listed beyond the normal Adventure's.
