How to Complete Zombies Die Rise - Richtofen Easter Egg (High Maintenance, ALL Steps)

Posted in black ops 2

We've finally managed to complete the Richtofen Easter Egg for Die Rise. For ALL steps and tutorial for the complete Easter Egg, read below. The exact steps include using the gold symbols, sniper rifle, trample steams and galvanized knuckles.

Note: This achievement must be completed with 4 players, NOT solo. When you unlock the achievement it will stay unlocked and you also gain all 6 perks for Die Rise.

Step 1: Build the Navcard table



First, build the navcard table (on the dragon roof) and insert the navcard from Die rise.

Step 2: Buy the sniper gun and upgrade



Next buy the sniper rifle from the room under the starting point. Use the escalator to get down there. You also need to upgrade the rifle using the pack-a-punch machine.

Step 3,4,5: Stand on gold symbols and shoot dragon balls



Next get 4 players to stand on all gold symbols on elevators. Then get 4 players to stand on the gold symbols on the floor (the flowery pattern symbols). Each player must step onto their gold symbol in a particular sequence and it's random every game (just keep trying). The symbols will go bright yellow colour if completed correctly.

Now after Richtofen's message, head to a point where you can see the dragon heads. Then aim down the sniper sights, use the zoom if necessary, then shoot both the balls out of the dragons mouth. They will relocate to the lions paws (spawn room).

Step 6: Sliquify the dragon balls



Use the sliquiifer gun on the balls in the lions claws. The balls need to be spinning so use a lot of toxic spray!

Step 7: Build 4 x trample steams



The Trample steams had to have something to do with the Easter Egg! Build 4 of these and place them on each of the gold zombie symbols. Make sure you place them properly so the zombies are flinged towards the radio tower.

Wait and watch as zombies are catapulted towards the tower. You'll get a new message from Richtofen which sounds like.

"Oh look at you…how clever. The machine can also be the undeads destruction"

Blue fireworks should fire from the dragon closest to the tower so you know the step was performed correctly.

Step 8: Get galvanized knuckles and punch the radio tower



For the last step, get the galvanized knuckles from the wall of the shaft which leads down to the Buddha room. Now head over to the radio tower and punch the edges of the radio tower (the order in which you need to hit the tower is random every game but is based on the mah-jong tiles).

The mah-jong tiles play an important part in the final step of the Easter Egg - the colours and numbers on the tiles relate to the order in which the sides of the radio tower must be hit with the galva knuckles.

There are 4 colours in the game:

  • North = red
  • Blue = west
  • Black = east
  • South = green


The first side of the radio tower is always completed for you automatically and it’s the Red north. Based on this, you can decipher that south is the opposite side and east and west lie to either side.

Now read the numbers on the mah-jong tiles to see the order in which the sides of the tower must be hit. e.g. red = 1, blue = 2, green = 3, black = 4. It’s different every game!

The tower will light up a bright blue colour if you are successful.
