MAIN EASTER EGG GUIDE
This easter egg is nonlinear to a degree. The first 4 steps (until the lockdown step) can be completed in any order, and can be worked on simultaneously

Lighting the Orbs
You need to light up 4 golden orbs throughout the map

Spawn/Dungeon Orb
- To light this one you must fill up 4 soul boxes. They are glass balls with golden frames, and will glow when full. Their locations are
  • Leaning out of the large cell in the dungeon, near the mystery box location
  • In the courtyard, inside the planter near the armory door
  • In the mines, right before the path leading up into the library
  • In the apothecary, nestled among the plants by the double doors
- Once all are filled, the orb in the stairway between the spawn and dungeon will be smoking blue


Library Orb
- Interact with the bird statue in the library to have the glowing balls fly off

- Now throughout the map there are pressure plates that will reveal the balls flying around. The player standing on the plate must shoot the ball until it disappears. The pressure plate and ball locations are
  • In the forge area, the plate is half buried under the coal. While standing on the plate, the ball can be seen flying back and forth in the roof of the building

  • In the crystal cave, there is a plate under the water near the gobblegum machine. While standing on the plate, the ball can be seen flying around the stone pillar near the center of the room

  • In the bar area, the plate is near the large barrel storage area. While standing on the plate, the ball can be seen flying above the barrels

  • In the kitchen, the plate is right in front of the zombie barrier near the mystery box location. While standing on the plate, the ball can be seen flying around the room through the barrier

  • In the library, go upstairs and use the dragon shield to shoot the smudged window near the purchasable railing. Jump through the window, go across the bridge, and the plate will be in front of the window overlooking the courtyard. While standing on the plate, the ball can be seen flying around the courtyard
- Once all 5 are shot, the orb in the library statue will be smoking blue


Great Hall Orb
- In the great hall go upstairs and look across the way. Shoot the unlit torch on one of the pillars with the dragon shield

- Now you must interact with 4 stone tablets with the same carvings as the ones in the great hall, in the order of the amount of lights above them. If done in the correct order the tablet will start flaming green. Failing to do it in the correct order will result in needing to wait until the next round to try again. The stone tablet locations are
  • In the courtyard stables, on the left side underneath a food trough

  • In the upstairs library, shoot the smudged window with the dragon shield and jump through. The stone tablet is in the wardrobe next to the open window overlooking the courtyard

  • In the dungeon, inside one of the cells in the hall immediately to the left when entering from spawn

  • In the mines, inside the upturned mine cart next to the wunderfizz machine
- Once all 4 are interacted with, the orb in the great hall will be smoking blue


Chapel Orb
- Inside the chapel go to the Pack-a-Punch and look up. Shoot the orb through the crack in the ceiling and it will fly upwards

- Once it stops moving, directional controls will appear on the tables facing the paths on the walls. You must bring the crystal to the correct end location, and bringing it to the wrong location will result in needed to wait until the next round to try again. The position of the keys in their slots used to open Pack-a-Punch corresponds to the correct location for each crystal. For example, orange key is in the top left slot, so bring the orange crystal to the top left.

- Once they are all in the correct spots, the orb floating above the chapel will be smoking blue


Lockdown

- Now that all the orbs are lit, the locked door in spawn will be open. Enter the room and interact with the pedestal in the center

- Survive until you are teleported out of the room

Now that the lockdown is complete, all remaining steps (except the boss fight) can be done in any order and can be worked on simultaneously


Assembling the Power Channeler

- The main part of the Power Channeler can be picked up from a tipped over chest in the lounge room between the armory and great hall

White Crystal
- Get the 31-79 JGb215 (Shrink Ray) from the mystery box

- In the mines, through the zombie barrier shoot the large white crystal with the Shrink Ray

- Throw the Hell's Retriever/Redeemer at the shrunken crystal to collect it

Purple Crystal
- In the armory, look out the window near Juggernog and shoot the blue crystal to have it start shooting a laser

- Rotate the crystals to redirect the laser from the armory down in to the bar, through the dungeon, and into the spawn room where it should ultimately start hitting the purple crystals through the zombie barrier

- Once the laser is done hitting the purple crystal it should disappear. You can now collect the small purple piece with the Hell's Retriever/Redeemer

Red Crystal
- Outside the map in 3 spots are small structures that you need to shoot with the dragon shield. Their locations are
  • In the armory, outside the window near Juggernog, to the left
  • Outside the chapel, across the river near the bridge
  • In the forge area, behind the building near Double Tap
- Once all 3 are shot with the shield go down into the crystal cave. In the zombie barrier, shoot the small red piece on the left large stone with the shield

-You can now collect the small red piece with the Hell's Retriever/Redeemer


Artifacts for Unlocking the Boss Room Door

Fire Crystal
- In the center of the courtyard on the meteor, there is a smaller meteor piece. Use explosive damage to knock it loose and collect it

- Now you need to place the meteor piece on one of 3 braziers to begin a time trial. You'll be lock in the room and must get enough zombie kills in 30 seconds or else you must wait until the next round to try again. The zombies don't need to be in the room with you to count towards the time trial

- After a time trial is successfully complete the meteor piece will be on fire. Wait until the next round, and pick up the piece and repeat the process on the other 2 braziers. The brazier locations are
  • In the kitchen near the mp40 wallbuy
  • In the armory, across from Juggernog
  • In the crystal cave, by the debris leading to spawn
- After the third time trial the meteor piece will become the Fire Crystal. It can now be placed on one of the stone slabs in the spawn room near the boss room door


Kronorium
- Kill zombies that are in the library. They will have a chance to drop a page, and you must collect 5

- Once all 5 are collected, go up the spiral staircase and interact with the book podium to get the Kronorium. The Kronorium can now be placed on one of the stone slabs in the spawn room near the boss room door


Summoning Key
- Using the flamethrower from the Gauntlet of Siegfried, shoot the soul boxes that you filled earlier to light up the spawn/dungeon orb until they burst

- Once all 4 are destroyed, the golden plate in the stairway between the spawn and dungeon will have raised, revealing the summoning key behind it

- The summoning key can be placed on one of the stone slabs in the spawn room near the boss room door


Multicolored Crystal
- In the chapel the directional controls have returned. Simply have each crystal collect all of the nodes of it's color and, once done, collect the shard from the table with the controls

- Once all 4 shards are collected you will now have the Multicolored Crystal. This can be placed on one of the stone slabs in the spawn room near the boss room door


Boss Fight

- Enter the boss room once again and place the completed Power Channeler on the pedestal to start the boss fight

- During the boss fight, getting enough zombie kills will charge up the player. This is indicated by a vortex effect at the players feet. This will be important

- There will be lightning throughout the room that periodically changes position. Simply avoid it

- Eventually the boss in the center will start charging an electrical attack. If there is a charged player, shoot each of the boss's 4 teeth while it's charging. This will make the pedestal start glowing for a brief time. During that time, if a charged player interacts with the pedestal it will halt the boss's attack and do damage to it, while stripping the player of their charge

- If no player is charged, or you don't have time to shoot the teeth and deposit your charge, hide behind one of the 4 pillars in the room to avoid the boss's attack

- Shooting the teeth but not depositing a charge DOES NOT halt the bosses attack, only depositing a charge does

- Once 4 charges are deposited, the boss will die and you will have completed the easter egg


Post Boss Fight

- There will now be a permanent and free Leviathan Axe in the boss room to pick up whenever you want

- On the back of the center wall in the boss room there will now be a portal for the buyable ending if you wish to end your game without dying

I can't seem to interact with the bird statue in the library after doing the Spawn/Dungeon Orb.

Or do I even have to? Can I get to the pressure plates straight away? No need to "interact" with the statue first?

There's meant to be 5 yellow balls on the front of the bird statue, and when interacted with they fly away which spawns the pressure plates. There isn't a text prompt for interacting with the statue, so maybe you did it without realizing? If there aren't any glowing balls on the statue you can try looking for where the pressure plates should be. If the plates still aren't there, definitely let me know and I'll look into it

It needs to be shot with the dragon shield. I should rearrange that sentence in the guide to be clearer

In the crystal cave zombie barrier there are 2 boulders with large red crystals. On the left boulder there is a small red crystal along with the larger chunks. That smaller crystal is what you shoot and collect. Hope this helps!

very nice map, nice graphics, nice gameplay but the Easter Egg is 2 long.

Kinda shame that it takes thjat long, I got crashed at last step... after 2h of playing
I don't know if it's a bug, but after reducing the size of the white stone, we can't pick it up with the tomahawk. No matter how much we throw it, it doesn't react and does nothing.
I spent 3 hours playing this map to complete the Easter egg, but the last step, where I have to collect the white stone in the cave behind the zombie barrier, was bugged, and I couldn't get it.
Could you fix this so I don't waste any more of my time?
It's a 10/10 map, but that bug makes it a -5/10.

I apologize for this bug with the white stone. I've found the source of it and I'm fixing it now

A more in depth guide for it is in the "guides" discussion but a tldr is: place the egg on one of the nests in the map, blow up a napalm near it, wait until the next round to pick it back up, repeat for the other 2 nests, then place the egg back where you originally got it
