MYSTIC MAYHEM APPROACHES
A confrontation is upon us. A showdown with evil.
The
Demon Lord N’astirh has opened a rift between Earth and Limbo. He is invading our world, causing mayhem, fear, and ruthless destruction.
N’astirh has a purpose. He seeks to establish a
permanent bridge between the two realms such that he may finally conquer Earth and all her citizens.
He’s summoned
allies from some of the most dangerous realms this side of Hel - striking a deal that would divide up Earth into parcels, to be ruled by the worst of the worst.
It’s your duty to stop N’astirh and his minions before their invasion succeeds. Dislodge the advance forces that are invading Earth and shut down N’astirh’s base of operations through a direct assault on
Infernal Limbo itself.
Introducing Mystic Mayhem
Mystic Mayhem is a new event for Marvel Heroes. It’s born out of the necessity to ensure N’astirh’s invasion of Earth does not succeed and the demon’s base of operations in Limbo is shut down.
Many heroes of the Marvel Universe are coming together to help you, the Hero, defeat the Demon invasions and stop the mayhem.
In scope and size, the new Mystic Mayhem event is a cross between a regular weekly event and a Big Ten event. Mystic Mayehm will be included and return in the regular cycle of events.
Mission: Possible
Your mission, Hero, should you choose to accept it, is to defeat the Demons on earth and take the battle to Limbo itself, fighting through N’astirh’s henchman, allies and finally bring down the Demon Lord himself.
As always, should you or any of your Supergroup be caught or killed, The Watcher will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This post will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Hero.

1963 Legendary Limbo Scroll
1963 was the year Marvel introduced the Marvel Universe to the legendary location of
Limbo in an issue of The Avengers #2.
('63 was an amazing year for comics, featuring not just the Avengers, but X-Men, Fantastic Four, Nick Fury and Spider-Man all featured prominently)
To celebrate that first issue in which Limbo appeared, we're using the same database tech as the Vibranium Ticket promotion: There will be
1963 Legendary Limbo Scrolls to be discovered during Mystic Mayhem.
If you find a Legendary Limbo Scroll, you can open it
immediately a collection of sweet icons, including something Crimson, something Blue, something Ultimate and something Legendary.
In addition,
63 of those Limbo Scrolls will be
doubles, with double everything inside.
These Legendary Limbo Scrolls give in-game items and are available in
all regions, with no paperwork or delay. As soon as you find them, you can open them up. They are very well marked, you can't miss 'em.
From 63 to Eternity
For the duration of Mystic Mayhem, the rare 10-drop Eternity Splinters will be joined on all loot tables with
Bundles of 63 Eternity Splinters.
The drop rate of the 10-pack bundles will also be
doubled for the duration of Mystic Mayhem.
Heroes Wanted
The demon hordes will not be put down easily - we'll need
every hero we can get.
To that end, during the full duration of Mystic Mayhem,
Hero Tokens can again drop anywhere in the world, in and out of Limbo,
from any enemy.
It wouldn't be Limbo without a chance at a Hero Token.
Asgard Supports the War Effort
Asgard has a vested interest in keeping the Demon Lord N’astirh from harming the innocent people of Earth. To that end, they have entrusted the
Asgardian Runemasters with helping the brave heroes who are defending themselves against this assault from Limbo.
For the duration of Mystic Mayhem, thanks to the hard work and solidarity of the Asgardians, the chance of acquiring the
very rarest Asgardian Runes will be increased
tenfold. These coveted ancient runes are still extremely rare and useful items, but perhaps the heroes will have a chance of acquiring one or two during this time of need.
Experience Counts
To help defeat the demons of N’astirh and stop the invasion, all heroes will receive a 63% server side experience boost throughout the entire Mystic Mayhem event.
This applies to all zones, on Earth and Limbo and will stack multiplicatively with a player’s other experience boosts.
Finding Items - Magic and Otherwise
To aid heroes in acquiring the tools they need to repel the Demon invasion, Dr. Strange has summoned as massive, powerful enchantment on Earth that will assist heroes in finding rare and special items.
Both Rare Item Find and Special Item Find receive a 63% server side boost for the duration of Mystic Mayhem.
New Mission - Strike On Limbo
A new permanent mission launches with Mystic Mayhem:
Strike On Limbo
The mission is available from
Magik in Xavier’s Institute.
You’ll be asked to help lead a strike on N'astirh in Limbo, challenging the
Demon Lord himself, in his domain with his allies and henchman awaiting your challenge.
This is a new
permanent, optional mission and may be completed by each hero in your roster.
Completing the mission has several awards, mostly importantly a permanent
+3 Power Point upgrade and
+63 Health Upgrade.
You can choose to complete this mission when Mystic Mayhem launches in the very near future, or wait until Mystic Mayhem comes around again in the event rotation. You can't keep a Demon Lord down forever...
Infernal Limbo - Defeating the Demon Lord
For the duration of the event, heroes may access a special gate to
N'astirh's base in Limbo.
Infernal Limbo is his specific domain and he's recruited beings from several dimensions as guards.
You must fight through these guards and take down N'astirh before he escapes.
Time is limited.
Level 60 heroes may access this gate to Infernal Limbo
whenever they wish, with no restrictions.
The assault team will include up to
5 heroes, automatically matched if desired.
If a hero defeats each encounter within the time limit and defeats N'astirh himself, they are given the opportunity to complete a
random follow-up mission, only available during Mystic Mayhem.
The random follow-up missions are given by
Doctor Strange,
Magik,
Clea,
Forge or
Ezekiel. Each has a different series of objectives and award several Mayhem Coffers.
There is a rare follow-up mission awarded by
Agent Stan Lee himself that players may encounter.
Mystic Mayhem Invades
During the Mystic Mayhem event, bosses have a chance of dropping an extra
Mystic Chest of loot.
The only catch, they'll be swarming with invading
Mayhem Demons. You were warned.
Bloodstone Amulets
A new
Unique neck slot item can be looted from enemies during Mystic Mayhem, with the best chance from invading Demon forces (throughout the world) and from Mayhem Coffers.
Each amulet has
5 bonuses, representing the 5 souls stored inside. Heroes will decide for themselves whether to add these items to their arsenal of gear, whether to trade in several for a new one or whether to save them in their improved Stash vaults.
Mayhem Demons
Magik is all to familiar with these ferocious demons. They can appear throughout the world and in Limbo. They must be put down before they harm innocent people.
Defeating a Mayhem Demon in any zone has a chance of awarding heroes with Mayhem Demonblood, a new artifact that allows heroes a taste of Demonblood, at a price...
Mystic Achievements
With
every new Mystic Mayhem event, we'll introduce a new
Mystic Achievement.
The Mystic Achievement for each Mystic Mayhem will contain a
clue directly in the achievements UI panel. The clue will help true detectives down the path of solving the mystic mystery.
This means every month or two, we'll have a
new mystery to solve.
If
at least one hero completes the Mystical Achievement for the current Mystic Mayhem event, then the 63% server-side Experience boost, SIF boost and RIF boost will
carry over for an extra day into the next event (likely stacking with whatever server-side bonus the next event has, which is very much
Boost Mayhem).
If
zero players decipher the mystic clue and solve the achievement, then the same achievement will return for the
next event, with
more details added to the clue.
Achievement Mayhem!
Mystic Mayhem has a complete section of
new achievements to accompany the event.
Here are a few early previews to check out:
I hope you enjoyed this preview of
Mystic Mayhem, coming soon to a server near year.
There are many details of how everything works, so we'll have a complete
FAQ about the event as we get closer to launching it.
The goal is to launch the inaugural Mystic Mayhem event
before the end of August.
To help us prepare, we just activated
Limbo on test center (
right now!) - check it out in the waypoint menu and let us know how the fights feel.
