Incomplete

This article was incomplete at the time of City of Heroes' shutdown. You can help the Rebirth Wiki by helping us complete it. The editor who marked this article as incomplete added the following note:

Several red links, the infobox is incomplete, and the missions are written rather informally.

Overview

Dr. Kane's House of Horror (HH) is a Halloween-themed co-op event released as part of the Halloween Event 2011. This trial requires exactly 4 characters of level 15 or greater and can be accessed via the Team-Up Teleporter in the LFG Window, a selection on the Chat Window. High-level characters will be exemplared down to level 29 for this trial.

In Detail

Editor's Note:

Before any character enters the haunted house, an optional boss may be spawned and fought. First, speak to the Devil Girl in the graveyard to the left of the house. Then speak to the Bored Boy and Bored Girl on the other side of the mansion. Finally, return to the Devil Girl and fight the Black Whip.

Clear the Hallways

Upon entering the zone, proceed up the stairs to the front door of the manor. Speak to the line attendant, then click on the door to enter. Up the stairs is a hallway populated with zombies. Clear through these zombies until you reach Dr. Kane. Rinse, repeat.

Welcome Dialogue

Costumed Employee: Enter at your own risk! It's your skin after all.
Barker: Come one, come all!
Barker: Hurry inside! We need more limbs!
Barker: You'll pay to see the whole house, but you'll only use THE GRAVE! Barker: Enter Dr. Kane's House of Horror if you dare! Costumed Employee: Welcome to Dr. Kane's house of horror. Step inside for the fright of your life!
Haunted House Attendee: Anyone been in there yet?
Barker: Are YOU ready for heart-stopping terror?
Barker: Step inside, we need your flesh!
Costumed Employee: We will eat your flesh!
Rutha Salk: Oh, great! More costumed freaks just cutting in line. I am SO tired of waiting!
Mr. Mortuary: Anyone who wears a costume for a living may enter free of charge. Go right in.

A simple Halloween tradition - a visit to a haunted house.

This year, Dr. Kane, a retired scientist and noted recluse, has dared thrillseekers to venture into his dark and mysterious mansion.
But things are not as they seem in Dr. Kane's house of horror.
Visitors are entering the mansion never to be heard from again....
Thrillseekers line up for their turn to be terrified.

But the smell of blood hangs in the stale air.

Inside Dialogue
Haunted House Attendee: This is TOO real! Haunted House Attendee: I'm not sticking around! Reanimated Corpse: Freesh Braaains!

A shrieking voice cries:

What is wrong with the flesh? Is it that it clings to the backs of the living?
All flesh must be taken! The abomination will become more than human!

The madman himself, Dr. Kane.
His eyes dissect you as a butcher evaluates a side of meat.

Dr. Kane
Dr. Kane: What have we here? More flesh for the taking? Dr. Kane: Let's have a bit of fun first, shall we? Let me introduce you to my pets....

The smell of decay and littered corpses betrays Dr. Kane's dark secret as a defiler of the dead.

But to what end is this madman working?

The shuffling of cold, dead feet heralds the walking dead and promises that more of Dr. Kane's horrors await you.

Defeat Experiment Number Nine

In one room, Dr. Kane will spawn an archvillain called Experiment Number Nine. He is generally understood to be fairly simple to defeat.

Dr. Kane
Dr. Kane: Welcome to my underground lair! Dr. Kane: You will make fine playthings for the Abomination... Dr. Kane: But first, meet one of my most prized failures. I call him Experiment Number Nine!

Defeat the Abomination

After defeating Experiment Number Nine, proceed through the cave door to the graveyard. There, Dr. Kane presents his final creation: the Abomination. This archvillain has two powerful AOE attacks, which are preceded by warning text about "raising his hands" or "raising his foot". Once the Abomination is defeated, trial rewards are given.

During the battle with the Abomination, an optional mission objective exists. The optional task requires the players to defeat 99 zombies and then the abomination within 12 minutes. Zombies are spawned by walking (not hovering) over the graves to either side. Completing this side task grants each player the "It's Alive." badge.

Dr. Kane

After entry to the graveyard:

Dr. Kane: That's far enough!

Dr. Kane: Into the web stumbles the prey!

Dr. Kane: And now for a 'little' surprise.

Dr. Kane: Meet my greatest work...

Dr. Kane: THE ABOMINATION!

During battle with the Abomination:

Dr. Kane: What? This can't be happening!

Dr. Kane: Abomination! I command you! Eat them!

After Defeat of the Abomination:

Dr. Kane: You've ruined everything!

Dr. Kane: What have you done?

Dr. Kane: Do you know how many trick or treaters it took to make that thing?!

Dr. Kane: Leave me to my grief!

Dr. Kane: I will rebuild him! Just you wait!

Rewards

It's Alive!

You defeated the Abomination and 99 of Dr. Kane's zombies in under 12 minutes!

Tricked Out

You took out the Abomination wearing nothing but a festive Halloween costume!

Is There a Doctor in the House?

You braved the haunted mansion of Dr. Kane and defeated his Abomination!

Successfully completing the event offers a choice of one of three rewards:

The Murder of Crows costume change emote.
The Bats Aura costume piece.
Five random Trick or Treating rewards.

-=== Customizations ===
+=== Clear the Hallways ===
-City of Heroes offers far more customization than most games, especially most MMOs. However, it was written before Lua scripting came on the scene, and CoX never adopted UI scripting.
+Upon entering the zone, proceed up the stairs to the front door of the manor. Speak to the line attendant, then click on the door to enter. Up the stairs is a hallway populated with zombies. Clear through these zombies until you reach Dr. Kane.  Rinse, repeat.
-Here's a couple of customizations you should be aware of when playing City of Heroes.

-A Quickchat Menu was developed expressly for Rebirth, containing additional emotes developed for Rebirth, and a few other goodies. It is served via our Discord, under the #files-and-links channel. The latest version of this file is at https://discord.com/channels/568451050181492736/739993754949124166/889292480879665173. After you download Rebirth's quickhat.mnu file, and while you're '''not''' logged into the game, place this file in the following path under where you installed City of Heroes: <CoX-Rebirth-directory>\data\texts\English\Menus. You may need to create those sub-folders if they don't already exist.

-==== Keybinds file ====
+In one room, Dr. Kane will spawn an [[archvillain]] called [[Experiment Number Nine]].  He is generally understood to be fairly simple to defeat.
-Many people don't alter the default keybinds file provided with City of Heroes, however I have made extensive modifications to mine. For this reason, you may see things I trigger without clicks that you expect to have to click, such as Location AoE powers. This doesn't mean the default is wrong, it just means I like my custom setup better. I'm not going to explain altering the keybinds in by newbie guides; it is a more advanced topic.
