Tips


Mission 4 (Story Arc Branch) - The Paths That Are Hidden

This mission has 3 different branch options. The final reward of this Epic Arc is based on your decision here:
If you immediately take 'Two Steps Into Hell' or 'Playing It Safer' you will be siding Nugoeihuvi and your final reward will either be from them (20x Nugoeihuvi Synth Blue Pill Booster + Caldari State standing) or from Caldari State(ISK + Caldari State standing).
If you choose 'An Honorable Betrayal' you will be siding with Hyasyoda and your final reward will either be from them(1x Hyasyoda Mobile Laboratory + Caldari State standing) or from Caldari State(isk + Caldari State Standing).

'Two Steps Into Hell' (Leads to Null Security system) Nugoeihuvi pathway
'Playing It Safer' (Leads to Low Security system) Nugoeihuvi pathway
'An Honorable Betrayal' (Leads to High Security system) Hyasyoda pathway


Mission 5A - Two Steps Into Hell

Deliver S.I. Formula Sheet to the Nugoeihuvi Cargo Facility in KFR-ZE (Syndicate) in Null Security.
No fighting involved.

Mission location is over 30 jumps.
Tip: Use a nano fitted MWD interceptor, since Syndicate is usually bubbled and almost always camped.


Mission 5B - Playing It Safer

Deliver S.I. Formula Sheet to the Nugoeihuvi Cargo Facility in Faurulle (Solitude) in Low Security. On the NOH storyline this mission will remove the option to choose 'The Crimson Decoy' and the next mission will be 'Pre-Emptive Opportunities'.

Mission location is over 30 jumps. If path goes through Null Sec, Interceptor is recommended.
Low Sec is very risky. Nano Interceptor or fast and agile Frigate is recommended. Cloak will also help. Beware of pipebomb camps or remote sensor booster camps (instalock).


Mission 5C - An Honorable Betrayal

Report to Arikio Kuretsu in Wuos (Wuos V - Moon 1 - Hyasyoda Corporation Mining Outpost) in High Security. (Make sure to bring S.I Formula Sheet)


Mission 5C.1 – Proof of Intent

Once you report to Arikio Kuretsu in Wuos, you explain to him what NOH is having you do in regards to his corporation. He then has a lengthy explanation about how Hyasyoda has nothing to do about these things. To complete this mission you have to give the agent the S.I Formula Sheet.


Mission 5C.2 – Return to Isha

Arikio Kuretsu sends you back to Poinen, where you then get 'Re-examining Options', see Mission 4 'The Paths That Are Hidden' for details. This also unlocks the Hyasyoda story arc branch after you complete either one. (Don’t forget the S.I Formula Sheet)


Mission 5C.3 – Re-examining Options

You will be given the choice between 'Two Steps Into Hell'(Null Sec) and 'Playing It Safer'(Low Sec).


Mission 6 (Hyasyoda Branch) - Almost Unmasked

Report to Arikio Kuretsu in Wuos (Wuos V - Moon 1 - Hyasyoda Corporation Mining Outpost).


Mission 7 - Some Light Theatrics

In this mission, you have to make NOH think that the CPF compound they are watching has been destroyed. You have to hack into the electronic surveillance(a CPF Habitation Module) and take the security forces out before it explodes, and then return to the agent. You have to be quick however, as the CPF compound explodes about 30 seconds after you hack into it, and if you fail to retrieve the CPF Security Personnel you will fail the mission.


Mission 8 - Untouchable

Report to Katsen Isha in Poinen (Poinen IV - Moon 13 - Nugoeihuvi Corporation Development Studio).

Next Mission is 'A General's Best Friend'
