Der Eisendrache — Black Ops 3 Zombies Easter Egg Guide

Upgrade the Wrath of the Ancients into one of four elements — you need one per player for the main quest. All four share the base-bow start and each ends by charging its forged arrow at that colour's Undercroft altar. Storm and Void are the most beginner-friendly. The Storm and Wolf paths both need Anti-Gravity activated first — their wall-run steps require the low-gravity state.

1. Base bow first: feed the three dragon-head statues (~8 kills each, waiting for the chewing animation) and collect the Wrath of the Ancients from behind the knight's tomb in Mission Control — a charged shot uses two arrows and starts every upgrade.
2. You need one upgraded bow per player (ranked solo needs 1; local / unranked needs all four). Each element's forged arrow is charged with nearby kills at its matching altar in the Undercroft.
3. Pick your element below — Storm and Void are the most forgiving; Fire and Wolf add rocket-test timing and painting / skull hunts.

Weather-vane arrow → light three bonfires → the five-symbol wall-run → charge three lightning urns and imbue the bonfires → forge at the blue altar.

1. Shoot the weather vane on the castle roof with the base bow and take the dropped broken arrow.
2. Ignite three distant bonfires with charged arrows: the village hill below the castle, the rampart outside the Clock Tower, and the hill above/right of the Rocket Launch site.
3. During Undercroft low gravity, wall-run across all five blue wall symbols without touching the floor (a touch resets the pass — wait for the next low-gravity cycle).
4. Charge three urns by killing ~6 zombies near each: inside the Clock Tower, the room above Double Tap, and the tunnel toward the Rocket Launch site.
5. Stand by a charged urn, fully draw until the arrow turns electrical, keep it drawn and fire at one bonfire; repeat for the other two urns/bonfires (an urn cannot be reused).
6. Return to the weather-vane tower and interact with the blue electrical cloud at its base for the forged arrow.
7. Place it in the blue altar in the Undercroft and kill nearby zombies until it stops taking souls; take the Storm Bow.

Void symbol by Double Tap → release the Trophy-Room urn → six skulls → feed six crawlers → decode the three spoken words on the knight statues → forge at the purple altar.

1. Charged-shoot the purple Void symbol above the tunnel gate near Double Tap.
2. In the trophy room beneath the Clock Tower, melee-kill a zombie on the glowing purple floor tile, then interact with the broken tile to release the urn.
3. Collect six skulls: broken wall near Mule Kick; window ledge right of the church entrance; toy chest in Samantha's room; wall near Double Tap; sink in the teleporter room; truck bed at the Rocket Launch site.
4. Lead six crawlers one at a time into the purple circle so the skulls consume them.
5. Charged-shoot the floating urn and note the three spoken words in order (possible words: Door, Roe, Horn, Heart/Hearth, Crown, Griffin).
6. Kill zombies until you have picked up six purple symbol drops (they fade fast).
7. Interact with the knight statues matching the three spoken words in spoken order and record the three symbols they reveal.
8. Shoot the three matching floor symbols in the purple circle in that order (a wrong order makes the skulls attack — leave, survive, re-enter); interact with the tile for the arrow.
9. Charge it at the purple altar in the Undercroft; take the Void Bow.

Four wolf-king paintings in order → wolf skull from the rocket flag → follow the spectral wolf to three bone piles → wall-run the wolf symbol → forge at the green altar.

1. Interact with the four wolf-king paintings in story order — king on the throne with a wolf; armoured king on horseback; burning castle / dark creature; king's skeleton — spread across the Clock Tower, the room beneath it near Mule Kick, the church balcony, and the corridor beyond Samantha's room.
2. Take the broken arrow from the newly opened wall by the Undercroft stairs.
3. At the Rocket Launch site, charged-shoot the flag above the sealed doorway and pick up the falling wolf skull.
4. Place the skull on the headless wolf skeleton beside the green altar in the Undercroft.
5. Follow the spectral wolf to three bone piles; at each, feed souls with nearby kills and take the bone fragment when the wolf scratches the pile.
6. At the final Undercroft wall during low gravity, wall-run and shoot the glowing wolf symbol above the hole, then stand on the raised platform and interact with the hole for the arrow.
7. Place it in the green altar, charge with nearby kills, and claim the Wolf Bow.

Fire symbol in the Clock Tower → after a rocket test the sky fireball glows for only ~10 seconds, so be ready to shoot it → hit the three mid-air Wundersphere fire rings (each stays lit once hit) → chain each lit ring to its fixed rune fireplace (Clock Tower→Supply Room, castle top→Church, Double Tap bridge→Samantha's room) → 4-shot volcanic-rock escort → forge at the red altar.

1. Shoot the red Fire symbol high in the Clock Tower and take the broken arrow from the opened wall.
2. Wait for a rocket test; the instant the safety doors reopen, step outside and shoot the glowing fireball in the sky above the concrete building.
3. Use the three Wundersphere launch routes and, while airborne, shoot the three glowing red ground circles (a direct hit keeps a circle lit; repeat any that do not stay).
4. Stand inside each circle and kill zombies until its fire charge completes.
5. Interact with the Clock Tower mechanism to reveal a random rune, then find the castle fireplace bearing that same rune.
6. From the charged circle nearest that fireplace, fire charged arrows into the ground to chain temporary fire circles toward it (each shot must land in the active fire), and finish by shooting into the fireplace to ignite it.
7. Return to the Clock Tower solar-fire mechanism and interact with the completed fire energy for the arrow.
8. Place it at the red altar, feed nearby souls, and take the Fire Bow.

Buildable gravity-spike wonder weapon: Panzersoldat chest part, rocket-test lever part and a floating Wundersphere part, assembled at a bench. Spikes clear hordes and give a safe revive.

1. Part 1: kill the Panzersoldat boss (first appears ~round 8-12) — it drops the first part
2. Part 2: near the Clock Tower, activate the launch pad and trigger the Death Ray; a part appears high in the sky — use a Wundersphere to launch up and grab it mid-air (collect within ~2 minutes)
3. Part 3: during the scripted rocket test, flip the lever behind the rocket (red→green) then reach the teleporter console before the doors seal until all three lights are green; the part appears in the teleporter
4. Build all three at a workbench (Undercroft/pyramid) for the Ragnarok DG-4 gravity spikes

Elena Siegman (Kevin Sherwood). Interact with 3 teddy bears: Samantha's bedroom chair, the prison cell across from Juggernog, and a truck on the rocket pad.

1. Interact with 3 teddy bears, in any order
2. Samantha's bedroom — sitting on a chair
3. Prison cell across from Juggernog — on a crate
4. Rocket launch pad — in the passenger seat of one of the trucks
5. 'Dead Again' by Elena Siegman plays; replayable afterward from the Data Vault

'Samantha's Lullaby' plays from the music box on Samantha's nightstand; activating the 3 gramophones (Samantha's bedroom, Control Room, pyramid stairs) plays a Requiem track.

1. Samantha's Lullaby: in Samantha's bedroom, hold Use on the music box on the nightstand
2. Requiem (Dies Irae): hold Use on the 3 gramophones
3. Gramophone 1 — Samantha's bedroom, on a shelf facing away from the teddy bear
4. Gramophone 2 — the Control Room, on a chair
5. Gramophone 3 — the Pyramid room, facing the stairs down to the crypt (order doesn't matter)

500-point Wundersphere pads launch you for traversal and mid-air grabs; the Death Ray trap toggles Destroy/Protect and is tied into the quest.

The map's Zombie Shield — one part in each of three regions (first courtyard, second courtyard/church, and the Undercroft during low gravity, three possible spawns each). Build at the Undercroft bench or the bench above Double Tap; the back plate soaks hits and the boost aids revives. Enter the boss with a fresh shield. Full steps below.

1. Part 1 (tank plate): first Courtyard, near the Double Tap gate, usually on stacked crates
2. Part 2 (iron eagle top): the second Courtyard / Church area
3. Part 3 (bulletproof glass): the Undercroft — activate anti-gravity to wall-run up and pull it off the wall
4. Build all three at the Undercroft bench (or the bench above Double Tap); the back plate soaks hits and the boost aids revives — enter the boss with a fresh shield

Drop and trigger the three ceiling metal claws — first-courtyard balcony, the armour corridor, and the stone tunnel by Quick Revive — and use each to kill a Panzersoldat; permanently reduces Panzer damage.

Open the Fire-Bow wall, place a Ragnarok in the Clock Tower mechanism and stop the clock at ~9:35; time-travel, collect the plunger, then kill a Panzer to charge it as a temporary melee upgrade.

Take the small plant from the teleporter-room shelf; place it on the matching shelf during a past visit, then interact with the grown plant back in the present.

With In Plain Sight equipped, activate the three hidden skull targets to replace normal zombies with skeletons.

Wall-run the single blue square facing Pack-a-Punch for a free Death Machine; wall-run the Undercroft pressure symbols to reveal the BRM wall-buy; shoot the ceiling moon then the aligned rocket in the church command room; and complete the gondola fuse sequence for the alternate cable-car trip.
