First up: Lady Deathstrike. She's fast. She's furious. And she's got
adamantium claws like Wolverine. Bring Logan with you as the active
character to get the full dialogue between them. (Evil mutant bonus: have a
member of the Brotherhood as the active character when you meet Lady
Deathstrike, and you can bribe her--cost 2,000 tech bits--to go away and
leave you alone.)
Open up a can of Feral Slash on her steely behind. Don't worry about the
regeneration chambers she uses around the room. She doesn't heal much, and
by the time you get up there to attack her, she's back down on the lower
level. Have some ranged X-Men with you to combo up with Wolverine's Slash
and just lay into Ms. Oyama.
Once she's down, save your game at the nearby Xtraction point. Time to
rescue some prisoners. From the Southern Habitats Xtraction point, go back
into the Lady Deathstrike arena and head right through the double doors on
the upper level. Go straight through another set of double doors into a
hydroponics lab and head around the walkway into the back room.
Talk to Caleb-Bann to open a door into an unmapped area just behind you.
Follow this hall to pick up a homing beacon if you don't have four yet, or
a 5,000 XP bonus if you do. Enter a room with three cells. Destroy the
console in the center of the room to open the cells, then talk to each
prisoner to officially "free" them.
Now, here's the cheesy method of freeing the remaining prisoners using
Nightcrawler (or Deadpool). Leave the room going back toward the
hydroponics lab, continue straight ahead, through another hall and then
take the outside corridors around the large room. Teleport through the
force fields and turn them off with the control panels. This also opens the
prisons in the center area of this room. Go talk to those prisoners.
Head back through the arena to the set of rooms on the opposite side. Go
straight back until you see a room with two control panels in it, that
appear to be inaccessible. Teleport through the wall and activate the
consoles to turn off force fields to the right and left. Go free the
prisoners in the side areas. Be sure to thoroughly search side rooms, one
has Colossus' comic.
Go save your game. You're probably strong enough, by this time, to give the
secret portal a try. Xtract to Sanctuary and enter the secret portal near
Beast. You'll be in one leg of an X-shaped room. Go to the other three
legs, defeating the enemies, and activate the consoles.
The toughest enemies will be a pair of mutants with some serious knockback
attacks. Bringing along a good tank with anti-knockback shielding would be
a good idea. After the third console is activated, a titan appears in the
center of the room, but he's a pushover. Collect Iron Man's gauntlets and
leave.
Xtract back to Southern Habitats and enter Northern Plaza.
If you call the door where you come in "south", then there are two
prisoners down a hall to the west and two down a hall to the east. Go down
the stairs into the main room, then look under the stairways for a data
disc. Go free the prisoners down the east and west halls.
To the north are three hallways and a side room to the northeast. Go into
the side room for a talk with Mr. Sinister. (Bring Nightcrawler along for
full dialogue.) When he escapes, quickly kill his minions, then destroy the
holding tanks with the Genoshans. If you still haven't collected four
homing beacons, there's one in this room. If you have four homing beacons,
you can get a 5,000 XP bonus instead.
Now go free the prisoners in the left-hand and right-hand northern
hallways. The prison down the left-hand north hall has the Qualifying Exam
100 Danger Room disc. The center hallway takes you to the Grand Hall.
Enter the Grand Hall and go to your right. Take out the generator to open
the force field and go through for a +2 Body tech station. Go to the other
side of the entrance room and enter the doors to find Pyro held prisoner.
Free him by knocking out the two generators.
(PC anomaly: you can have Pyro help free himself. Weird.)
After Pyro is free, advance into the Grand Hall proper. After defeating the
enemies, search the ground level for a data disc and a weapon cache. Have a
flier search the upper platforms for a sketch book (Genosha, Genosha Enemy
and Iceman).
When you approach the door to the Genosha Council, Pyro will warn you
against fighting Abyss. (Bonus dialogue with Sunfire.) He'll then run away
and you can get on with it.
