    I've been working away at the guide all weekend, figuring stuff out. I've just published my first Episode 35 video, too. A look at the awesome new War Metal style. A personal favourite of mine, which I've wanted since I first learned about the Metal storyline and characters.

    If you're interested in seeing the Donna Troy inspired "Dystopian Amazon" style, I've just uploaded a video showcasing it. Check it out:


    Haha good shout :D Looking forward to seeing your take on it.

    When I first saw The Merciless, he reminded me of the Black Knights from the Dark Souls series. I've been a fan since, and eagerly anticipating his style in DCUO.

    Oh nice! I spent a little while trying to find a reference to the style on Google (specifically the spikes on the back), but I failed. But after you wrote that, I checked again and found some panels with her design in it. Thanks for clearing it up :)

    Another update to the guide. This time, the first Investigation I've been able to complete. This investigation is found, in it's entirity, inside the Scarlet Speedster Operation. The only one you might miss is #2, which is on the roof of the Flash Museum before you enter. Villains may also miss #1, as it's close to the Heroes spawn point in Central City (that damn hero bias :mad:)

    The reward for this one is a model of the Cosmic Tuning Fork, which I believe is that giant structure we see at the end of the Monsters of Metal raid. It's pretty cool.

    It looks as though all rewards for the Briefings and Investigations are base items, this time. There's no Open World collection yet, though. Maybe that will have a style associated with it, if there is one. They usually do, and it's usually sweet.

    Never the less, here's the video guide, including all the audio, so if you're into the lore of DCUO, you can learn more about what's going on. Complete with hyperlinked time stamps for each node, that'll open the video in a new tab (if you've set your browser up that way) right at the moment in the video where I cover it. Enjoy!


    Joke's On You
    Location: Scarlet Speedster (Solo Operation)
    Reward: Cosmic Tuning Fork Model (Base Item)

    Parts & Timestamp:

    1. Nth Degree - 0:39
    2. The Four Tribes - 1:14
    3. Bat Out of Hell - 1:48

    5. From Light to Dark - 2:54

    Added videos and information about the 2 collections featured in the Metal Gotham City Open World map.


    Mister Terrific's Metal Research Notes collection is made up of 7 parts and the reward for finishing it is a base pet of Mister Terrific's T-Sphere. It roams around your base and will occasionally scan you


    Bat-Clues is a 5 part collection that drops from the same nodes as the Mister Terrific collection. The reward for finishing this one is the Window to Gotham - Cosmic Tuning Fork. It's basically one of those parallax windows, but the scene is the awesome shot of the Cosmic Tuning Fork featured in the Monster of Metal raid.

    The bulk of the guide is now complete. I'm gonna spend the next day or two tightening up the guide, adding more information and maybe some artwork. I may see about doing videos for the Enhanced version of the Donna Troy style, as I was able to get it whilst grinding/testing on test, and possibly the Enhanced Merciless style, too, but that one is less likely. I also want to go back and do some videos for older items that aren't part of the episode.

    Probably not going to do a video on the Omnipotent Necklace, as my channel is more focused on the DCUO vanity items and lore, and the item is a neck, so no style. But we'll see.

    So thanks for checking out the guide. If you have any questions, information, corrections, clarifications, whatever, feel free to post them. Or just chat about the episode, if you like. That's cool, too. It's a pretty cool episode from a lore perspective. I like it.

    Got any favourite items?
    Which style do you prefer?
    Favourite base item?
    Favourite collection/briefing/investigation item?
    What would you like to see added in the future?

    I'll answer:

    Which style do you prefer?
    Merciless' War-Metal style

    Favourite base item?
    Definitely Model Penguin Habitat

    Favourite collection/briefing/investigation item?
    Framed Metal Card - The Finder

    What would you like to see added in Late Additions updates?
    Dark Robin henchmen trinket

    What would you like to see in Episode 36: Metal Part 2?
    • Less base items as collectable rewards
    • All of the remaining Dark Knight NPCs (especially Murder Machine and Dawnbreaker)
    • Styles for Dawnbreaker and Murder Machine.
    • Mad Hatter in an Alice in Wonderland-themed map, after the Batman Who Laughs granted him a Metal card, as per the comics, with the Alice in Wonderland base items made available.

    Out of curiosity, did they just dropped without the op item? Was curious if it followed the op back dropping way, where u needed the cape for it to drop the back catalysts, only with collection pieces with this dlc? (thought I read somewhere the op item dropped)
