🔥 Staff of Fire
"Kagutsuchi's Blood" — The upgraded Staff of Fire
Step 1 — Build the Staff of Fire
Collect all 4 parts + the red record
-
1Red Gramophone Record: Found in the dig site/excavation area — look in the tunnel or on top of debris near Generator 4. It glows faintly red.
-
2Fire Staff Part 1 (Disc): Found randomly in chests inside the giant Robot feet when they stop — interact with the glowing crates inside.
-
3Fire Staff Part 2: Also from robot feet chests OR on the ground near Generator 4 / Tank Station area.
-
4Fire Staff Part 3: Same method — robot feet chest or in the excavation trench near Generator 2.
-
5Build: Take all parts + red record to the Crazy Place portal near the fire pedestal. Place the record on the gramophone at the entrance, step inside, then build the staff at the fire pedestal.
Step 2 — Upgrade to Kagutsuchi's Blood
3-part upgrade ritual
Part A — Fill the Urns
-
1With the Staff of Fire equipped, kill zombies using the staff near each of the 4 braziers (fire pots) located around the map. Each brazier lights up as you feed it kills. Kill ~5 zombies at each brazier to light all 4.
Part B — The Crazy Place Puzzle
-
2Go to the Crazy Place fire pedestal. You'll see 4 circular fire symbols on the floor and a pattern of lit flames on the wall. Memorize or note the lit flame pattern on the wall.
-
3Shoot the floor symbols with the fire staff to match the pattern shown on the wall. The correct combination will trigger a sound cue. If you get it wrong, just redo it — no penalty.
Part C — Shoot the Rings on the Robot
-
4One of the 3 giant robots walking the map has glowing orange rings on its knee/leg area. When the robot passes, shoot the rings with the fire staff until they flash — you need to hit all rings across multiple robot passes. Aim carefully and use the staff's charge shot.
-
5After all 3 steps are done, return the staff to the fire pedestal in the Crazy Place. Wait a moment — it upgrades automatically. Pick it back up.
💡 The braziers and robot rings can be done in any order. The Crazy Place puzzle must be done last.
🌪 Staff of Wind
"Boreas Fury" — The upgraded Staff of Wind
Step 1 — Build the Staff of Wind
Blue record + 3 parts
-
1Blue Gramophone Record: Found in a bunker tunnel — specifically in the trench/dig area near Generator 5 or in the church building interior. Look on shelves or ground.
-
2Wind Parts (3 total): All found in robot feet chests OR spawned on the ground in the excavation tunnels. Check the areas around Generator 2, 4, and 6.
-
3Build: Take parts + blue record to the Crazy Place, place record on gramophone, enter portal, build at the wind/air pedestal.
Step 2 — Upgrade to Boreas Fury
3-part upgrade ritual
Part A — Kill Zombies at Vents
-
1Find the 4 wind vents (tornado-like swirling air spots) around the map — near the church and trench areas. Kill zombies with the Wind Staff near each vent. A glowing effect confirms each one is charged.
Part B — Floating Skull Shooting
-
2Look up at the sky — you'll see floating skulls drifting above the map. Use the Wind Staff to shoot and destroy all of them. They move slowly and can be hard to spot — walk around the center of the map and scan the sky. There are typically 3–5 visible at a time.
Part C — Crazy Place Puzzle
-
3In the Crazy Place at the wind pedestal area, you'll see 4 pressure plates on the floor with symbols. Stand on the correct ones in the correct order, guided by the glowing symbols on the wall. Each plate makes a wind sound when activated correctly.
-
4After completing all 3 steps, return the staff to the wind pedestal and pick it up upgraded.
💡 The floating skulls are the trickiest part — use the staff's charged shot for easier hits.
⚡ Staff of Lightning
"Mjölnir" — The upgraded Staff of Lightning
Step 1 — Build the Staff of Lightning
Yellow record + 3 parts
-
1Yellow Gramophone Record: Located in the church interior — look on the upper level/altar area, or in the crypt tunnels beneath the church.
-
2Lightning Parts (3 total): Found in robot feet chests or on the ground in specific spawn areas around Generators 1, 3, and the church. Check inside bunkers too.
-
3Build: Bring parts + yellow record to the Crazy Place, play the gramophone, build at the lightning pedestal (surrounded by floating electric orbs).
Step 2 — Upgrade to Mjölnir
3-part upgrade ritual
Part A — Charge the Towers
-
1There are 3 lightning rods / towers placed around the map (near Generators 2, 4, and 6). Use the Lightning Staff's charged shot on each tower to activate it. A sound + spark effect confirms each one. You may need to kill zombies nearby first.
Part B — Shoot Lamps in the Church
-
2Inside the church, look up at the hanging chandeliers / lamps. There are specific ones that can be shot with the Lightning Staff to make them spark. Shoot each one in the correct order — the lit ones on the ceiling indicate the sequence. Listen for audio confirmation after each correct hit.
Part C — Crazy Place Orb Puzzle
-
3At the lightning pedestal in the Crazy Place, look at the surrounding floating orbs and the symbols around the chamber walls. Shoot the orbs in the order indicated by the symbols. The orbs move in a circular pattern — time your shots carefully with the staff.
-
4After completing all steps, deposit the staff at the lightning pedestal and collect the upgraded Mjölnir.
⚠ The orb-shooting puzzle in the Crazy Place is the hardest part — the orbs move fast. Use the staff's default shot, not the charge shot, for better accuracy.
❄ Staff of Ice
"Ull's Arrow" — The upgraded Staff of Ice
Step 1 — Build the Staff of Ice
Purple/white record + 3 parts
-
1Purple/White Gramophone Record: Found in the dig site catacombs — look in the lower underground tunnel areas near Generator 6 or in the crypt beneath the church.
-
2Ice Parts (3 total): Found in robot feet chests or scattered in the catacombs tunnels near Generators 5–6. Also check around the Mound area.
-
3Build: Bring parts + purple record to the Crazy Place, play gramophone, build at the ice/water pedestal.
Step 2 — Upgrade to Ull's Arrow
3-part upgrade ritual
Part A — Freeze Zombies at Specific Spots
-
1Find the 4 glowing ice containers (crystalline blue pedestals) around the map — 2 in the trenches, 2 near generators. Freeze zombies using the Ice Staff so they shatter near each container. Each container fills as you kill near it. You need roughly 5 kills per container.
Part B — Shoot the Correct Ice Balls in Crazy Place
-
2Inside the Crazy Place at the ice chamber, you'll see glowing ice orbs/spheres floating in the air. Look at the pattern on the wall for a clue. Shoot the orbs in the correct sequence — wrong order resets the puzzle. A chime sound confirms each correct hit.
Part C — Underground Catacombs Symbol Match
-
3Go to the underground catacombs. On the walls you'll find etched symbols that form a sequence. Match this sequence by shooting the corresponding symbols on the floor of the ice chamber in the Crazy Place.
-
4Once all 3 steps complete, place the Ice Staff at its pedestal in the Crazy Place and collect Ull's Arrow.
❄ Pro tip: Build the Ice Staff first — it's the easiest to use during early rounds since it can freeze multiple zombies without killing them, letting you safely set up other upgrades.
☆ Easter Egg Guide
"Little Lost Girl" — Full Main Easter Egg Walkthrough
⚠ Prerequisites: All 4 staffs must be built AND fully upgraded before starting the Easter Egg. You must have all generators (1–6) powered on. You need at least 2 players for optimal safety, but it CAN be done solo.
Phase 1 — Power All Generators
Activate all 6 generators around the map
-
1Generators are located at 6 fixed points around the map (labeled Gen 1–6). Each requires spending 200–1000 points to activate. Power them all on.
-
2Powering all generators opens the Pack-a-Punch machine in the center of the map (inside the large excavation dig area). It also opens doors needed for later steps.
💡 Priority order: Gen 6 first (unlocks fastest route), then Gen 4 → 2 → 1 → 3 → 5.
Phase 2 — Build & Upgrade All 4 Staffs
All 4 staffs must be at full upgrade
-
1Build the Staff of Fire, Wind, Lightning, and Ice — each requires finding 3 parts + the matching colored gramophone record.
-
2Upgrade all 4 staffs using the individual upgrade steps listed in the sections above. This is the longest part of the Easter Egg.
Phase 3 — Place All Staffs in the Crazy Place
Simultaneously deposit all upgraded staffs
-
1Once all 4 staffs are fully upgraded, bring them to the Crazy Place. Each player (or you in solo) must go to the Crazy Place with an upgraded staff.
-
2Place all 4 upgraded staffs on their respective pedestals at the same time (or one by one in solo). The room will begin to glow and a sound cue will trigger.
-
3Zombies will begin to spawn aggressively inside the Crazy Place. Defend the pedestals — if a staff gets "knocked off" you must replace it. Use secondary weapons to survive.
⚠ In solo, this is the hardest phase. Use Juggernog, Deadshot Daiquiri, and Mule Kick. Have a strong backup weapon PaP'd.
Phase 4 — Keeper Protector Ritual
Survive the Crazy Place defense wave
-
1After placing all staffs, a Keeper (large armored boss zombie) will spawn in the Crazy Place. Do NOT kill it — you need to weaken it.
-
2Shoot the Keeper with your upgraded staffs to weaken it. When it staggers, a prompt will appear to "hold interact" on the Keeper. Do so to complete the ritual.
-
3This ritual must be done 4 times — once for each staff element. Each time, the corresponding staff glows and the Keeper phases through another stage. Survive between each phase.
Phase 5 — The Giant Robot Steps
Activate the robots using the Gramophone
-
1After the Crazy Place ritual, go back to the main map. You'll notice the 3 giant robots walking the map have new glowing plates on their feet.
-
2When a robot's foot steps down, a player must stand on the glowing plate on the foot as it rises, riding it up. At the top of the robot, interact with the gramophone device on its back/shoulder area.
-
3Do this for all 3 robots. In multiplayer, each player can handle one robot simultaneously. In solo, ride each robot one by one over multiple rounds.
💡 The robots follow a set path — position yourself ahead of where the foot will land. Timing takes 1–2 attempts to learn.
Phase 6 — The Crypt & Tank Station
Underground activation sequence
-
1Head to the underground crypt / catacomb tunnels. You'll find a new glowing inscription on the wall near a stone sarcophagus. Hold interact on it.
-
2A wave of zombies spawns — survive it. After the wave, a glowing chest appears. Open it. You'll receive a key item.
-
3Take the key item to the Tank Station on the surface. Interact with the glowing tank engine piece. This triggers the next sequence.
Phase 7 — Final Sequence & Cutscene
Free Samantha — Easter Egg Complete
-
1After the Tank Station step, return to the center excavation dig site. A large glowing portal / machine will now be active in the center. Approach it.
-
2All players must interact with the machine simultaneously (in solo, just you). A final boss-level wave of zombies and Panzer Soldats will spawn. Survive the wave while staying near the machine.
-
3After surviving, interact with the machine one final time. The Easter Egg cutscene triggers — Samantha is freed from Agartha, the Origins story concludes, and the achievement/trophy unlocks.
🏆 Achievement unlocked: "Little Lost Girl" — Congratulations, you've completed the Origins Easter Egg.
⚠ The final wave includes Panzer Soldats (heavy armored enemies with grabbing arms). Prioritize them — if grabbed during the final interact, you'll fail. Keep moving.
