The final battle against Cybermind has begun! The finale to the FATAL ERR0R story arc is now live, a five-man alert in Cybermind's digital subdomain!

This isn't an easy battle, and you won't be victorious if you don't pay careful attention to the color-coding of SOCRATES' anti-virus buffs. Good luck, heroes!

(The blog also now has screenshots of the mission rewards.)

    Note: While all the Cybermind costume piece rewards work properly, they aren't all named Cybermind. The bracer is called Armor Cyber Cable, and the belt is called Discs. If you're having trouble finding them, that should help.

    The belt drops too? It's in the variety pack as well.

    Exactly. It's an unlock that unlocks a belt that I've had since beta? Woo. Let me get excited.

    I just spent ten minutes looking for that damn belt after I unlocked it before I found this post.

    What a waste of an unlock.

    Really, Cryptic? When I'm in the battle with Cybermind, even after getting the right color aura and stepping on the right color tile I get instakilled. So the Cybermind thing is bugged (Shocker.), but still, this is probably the closest thing well see to legitimate content for a long time, so I'll just leave you with this.

    Hmmm never had this trouble myself... and I've ended up TWICE in a situation where I end up doing a duo of him.... which its like 20 mins or more fight of stepping in and out of those tiles.

    I've had this happen on a few occasions, but also i've noticed on occasions, he's double tapping that blast attack when the rain starts. +3K hits can suck, but getting two in a row aint as fun.

    Oh did I mention this map has the best walls? You can jump up on the little ledges and give a pounding to the mobs below in real heroic action adventure style.

    Whole game needs walls like that.

    ended up having to walk back through again and didn't get to one of the squares in time

    We have to take the color buff very very quick.
    If anyone have Rez or Doomlord/Celestial, it's perfect.
    2 ppl understanding how-to-do in team is auto-win.
    We can do this with random team. :3

    The issue here is that the buff from the coloured pillar of code doesn't register instantly with the coloured square, so it doesn't trigger the buff straight away.

    That is why it is best to give 1-2 secs after seeing squares light up, go get buff and stay on square. (Wait for umbrella sign to show that you are protected)

    Go to the buff colour too soon and it can run out part way through the viral storm and three ticks of his Viral Storm really hurts.

    From what I gather his damage is unavoidable via block and resistances. I haven't tried Invuln only AoRP (I didn't heal for some silly reason >_>!) and 4 ticks killed me.

    I could be wrong but dodge/avoid doesn't seem to affect it a great deal either.

    I think the one thing which has changed since I last ran this alert on PTS is the severity of his Data Detonation (Force Det like attack), it now knocks considerably more often.

    In order to circumvent this ranged toons should ideally spread out (2 on each square with the tank or melee DPS in Cyberminds face), in my experience he is less willing to use that knock back, but when everyone is packed on one square he'll use it to great effect.

    I see one player who got her * bleep * together.

    Should I place a * Spoiler Alert * here?

    Then, again, Tammy seems to have a well oiled team. Clearly this mission is not for the faint of heart.
