Sayuri Dusk is save for now, but that doesn't mean this is over. The Shields will continue with their crusade, stabbing actual heroes in the back. And the ones to profit from this infighting may be the villains. I have been told that the Shields have secretly contructed a major base in Nerva Archipelago. They intend to liberate the Rogue Isles from there – alongside other vigilantes if they can convince them –, but they have also been planning their operations in Paragon City there. They might decide to take over this city first if they believe they can turn the Heroes against each other and make it the easier target. Titus Fiminster himself may be present at this base. Please go there and make him stop this madness.

Strike back at the Shields

Kristopher Ash

Admittedly, this may be dangerous. But the Shields need to be put in their place, or there may be an insane war. Several prominent members of Freedom Corps agree with me, although not all of them are able to strike as quick as I fear may be necessary. Neither do they think we should just tip off Arachnos, because those people do not exactly represent justice.

Incapacitate the Shields of Fiminster

Kristopher Ash

The Shields of Fiminster have to be stopped, or they will continue to attack you and me. Just because a person we have been working with happens to be a vampire.

Longbow is too occupied to actively support you, but they do manage to keep attention away from you.

The building is well-guarded, but apparently not prepared for an imminent attack.

• 3 allies to find (optional)
• Deal with Titus Fiminster

Claudia Hopeshot dialogue Before combat: Shield of Fiminster: We are glad to meet a creature of good for once. Claudia Hopeshot: "Creature of good"? I assumed we all had free will. Combat start: Shield of Fiminster: I see a false hero! Destroy $himher! Claudia Hopeshot: You're out of your minds. Once free: These fanatics may not be evil, but they don't represent liberty, either. If lost: Hello? $name? If refound: I've been a rather successful Hero so far, but I'm not comfortable being alone with these people. 50% Health: Ouch! These hypocrites … Defeated: Sorry, I'm too injured to continue …

Azure Huntress dialogue Before combat: Shield of Fiminster: We have reason to believe that you're a traitor. Azure Huntress: I haven't met your organization since the 90s! My doppelgaenger must have tricked you! Combat start: Shield of Fiminster: She's brought other false heroes! Azure Huntress: I wonder what Mistress Palma would think about this. Once free: I don't work with these fanatics, $name! You must have met my doppelgaenger! If lost: $name? Where are you? If refound: Let's stick together. 50% Health: You people do realize you're fighting someone with a perfect conscience? Defeated: I have to retreat! I hope they can still be brought to their senses …

Patrol dialogue Shield of Fiminster 1: Why did the Heroes free that vampire? Shield of Fiminster 2: Remember the words of Mistress Palma. Evil comes in many guises.

Garglesmash dialogue Before combat: Shield of Fiminster: Submit to our goodness, monster. Garglesmash: I'm no monster. That is, I wasn't a monster until people like you made me into one. Combat start: Shield of Fiminster: They're trying to free the creature! Once free: They're judging me on my appearance. What about you? If lost: Where are those Heroes … If refound: Are we on the same side? 50% Health: Painting everything in black and white. You, sirs, are a blight on society yourselves. Defeated: To safety …

Patrol dialogue Shield of Fiminster 1: Is it true that the Paragon Heroes are moving against us already? Shield of Fiminster 2: Apparently, and the Legacy Chain is siding with them. Our alliance may be falling through after all.

Titus Fiminster dialogue Before combat: There are people who are misguided, perhaps even evil and disguised, who question our beliefs. But remember: We are liberators. We cannot show any weakness, or we will lose. Combat start: So, the Paragon Heroes have come to us. Are you here to combat evil with us, or to stop this purge? 75% Health: You may believe you fight for good, but you make compromises. Good cannot afford compromises. 50% Health: I understand that you're working with Kristopher Ash. How come you trust him? 25% Health: Would you believe me if I said Ash is a villain? Who is laughing because he could make you fight us? Defeated: So be it … Be proud, you have saved all your virtuous half-demons and vampires …

Kristopher Ash

Awesome work, $name. Now that Titus Fiminster himself is behind bars, his group lacks leadership and may very well fall into chaos and disband. Allegedly, some of his followers have already switched sides and expressed interest to join Freedom Corps … the true heroes. The fanatics should no longer be harassing us. Fiminster probably accused me of having orchestrated his downfall. I guess he claimed I was a villain and had pitted you against the Shields so you'd rid me of them. Well, it isn't true. In fact, Azure Huntress seems convinced that her own archenemy was behind what transpired. As for Sayuri Dusk, the horror may have brought happiness with it. One of the artifacts you confiscated turned out to be the Scarab of Darkness, made to absorb spells. It had been rendered seemingly ineffective, but MAGI enchanters experimented with it and found that it may still be able to contain the spell placed on her. It could enable Sayuri to switch between human and vampire form at will.
