Die Rise — Black Ops 2 Zombies Easter Egg Guide

Reach the Power Building and flip the power switch by the sewing machines. Build four Trample Steams (parts in the spawn building — one per player) and the NAV table on the dragon roof (meteorite, radio, board, electrical box). Grab the elevator key off a stopped car's roof to call cars, and only step on an elevator roof while it is stationary.

Four elevators carry gold roof symbols — the Quick Revive shaft, the car by the Trample bench, the car by the power switch and the car by the MP5. All four players stand on the four marked roofs at once (cars stationary) until every symbol lights. Warning: an elevator car kills anyone standing on its roof as it reaches the top floor — that's the death players hit on this step, so only board a stationary car and step off before it rises.

Stand on the four gold floor symbols (in front of Quick Revive, atop the Power Building, the cafeteria/kitchen, and outside the bank-shower room) in the correct order — random each game, so trial and error; a correct one stays lit, a wrong touch resets the sequence.

Buy the SVU-AS sniper on the dragon roof (a box DSR also works) and shoot the black sphere in each of the two dragon-statue mouths to dislodge both. Maxis and Richtofen then give route-specific instructions for what to do with the spheres — pick your side before placing any Trample Steams.

In the Buddha room, get 15 kills with none outside the room to build energy (success quote: “Reincarnation will reveal the way forward”). Pack-a-Punch a Ballistic Knife into the Krauss Refibrillator and simply fire it in the Buddha room (at a zombie entering the room) — no teammate down or revive is required. Then set four Trample Steams on the four lion symbols aimed at the tower, place the two spheres on the spawn-room and bottom-escalator Trample Steams, and launch. The bottom of the Pylon glows orange — after the two spheres fling orange wisps between the buildings — as the Maxis-side confirmation.

Build the Sliquifier in the Power Building and fire it into the black orbs beneath the two lion statues in the spawn room — roughly 20 shots each until they spin rapidly, at which point Richtofen requests a “Blood Sacrifice.” Then set four Trample Steams on the four zombie symbols aimed at the tower and launch zombies/players into them until the bottom of the Pylon glows blue.

Find the Mahjong tiles (8 tiles across 11 possible spots). Photograph them and pair each numbered tile with its same-family direction tile — the numbers 1-4 give the order and the direction character (N/E/S/W) says which tower face. The tile at the tower base sets north.

Helper: Mahjong Solver

Buy Galvaknuckles (upside-down building) and punch the four tower faces in the decoded order — one hit per face, one attempt per round (a mistake means advancing a round and redoing the whole order). On completion the whole pylon surges in your side's colour (orange for Maxis, blue for Richtofen) → High Maintenance + all perks.
