Located in the midst of his fiery forges and protected by powerful ships lies ''Pretender Hephaestus!'' To face him however you must first brave his three Cyclopian guards, [[Brontes]], [[Argos]] and [[Steropes]]. Their ships were forged by Pretender Hephaestus himself and are out-fitted with powerful weapons - only those of fortitude may enter the forge.  
 
  
 
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!?

Pretender Hephaestus is reputedly the weakest Olympus uber, according to the admins. They're lying to get you and your team mates slaughtered, Pretender 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 Cyclopian guards you killed to fight him - coincidentally, Steropes mentions this very thing right before he dies!

Some of the features of Pretender Hephaestus' home include his very own [[Overloaders#Other_Overloaders|Hephaestus Forged 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 Pretender 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!

Pretender Hephaestus is an uber AI resting in Forge of Hephaestus. To face him however you must first brave his three Cyclopian guards, Brontes, Arges and Steropes. Their ships were forged by Pretender Hephaestus himself and are out-fitted with powerful weapons - only those of fortitude may enter the forge.

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!?

Although Pretender Hephaestus is considered the weakest Olympus uber, Pretender Hephaestus is still 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 Cyclopian guards you killed to fight him - coincidentally, Steropes mentions this very thing right before he dies!

Some of the features of Pretender Hephaestus' home include his very own Hephaestus Forged 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 Pretender 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!
