Pretender Hephaestus

Located in the midst of his fiery forges and protected by powerful ships lies Pretender Hephaestus!

The bright suns and many asteroids in this area make fighting him nearly impossible for stealth classes. Coupled with a big nasty chain laser-wielding drone on the sun, how can anyone possibly defeat him!?

Hephaestus is reputedly the weakest Olympus uber, according to the admins. They're lying to get you and your team mates slaughtered, Hephaestus is actually hard, very hard, don't blink or you'll die several times over and get to watch from your pod as he melts your ship down to scrap and reforges the Cyclopes guards you killed to fight him.

Some of the features of Hephaestus home include his very own Hephaestus Overloaders; these are decay-on-warp overloaders that can be mined from the inner asteroid belt. They're extremely powerful, and well worth the investment of time to mine, however they aren't necessary to kill Hephaestus. If you instead want to challenge a mini Cyclopes, then you need to mine in the outer asteroid belt, you may even find some bronze while you're getting butchered by them!
