n order to open PaP you will need to activate 6 generators scattered on the map. The activation sequence is similar to Revelation corruptor generators. Paying points will generate crusader zombies, endlessly coming to you until the generator is activated. You might kill them, but walking around is the best option.

Note that if no players are left in the area around the generator, it will slowly discharge. Once activated you are free to leave the are.

The generators are located:

  • Generator 1 is in the first Bunker
  • Generator 2 is outside the bunker when you open the door on the right from the spawn
  • Generator 3 is up the trenches when going on the left side from the spawn
  • Generator 4 is on the far left when going to the excavation site, from the big bunker between generators 2 and 3
  • Generator 5 is on the right side when coming from the big bunker between generators 2 and 3
  • Generator 6 is in the open space past the demolished Church

Once done, the Pack-a-Punch machine on top of the Excavation site will be assembled and available.

After a certain period of time, a squad of crusader zombie thugs will appear to disable the generators. Prevent them to do so.

In Origins the wonder weapon is an Elemental staff and there are 4 of them. Fire, Ice, Lightning and Wind. One for each player. To get them however, hitting the mystery box won’t make it.

You will need 3 parts, a disk and a crystal to craft each staff. To upgraded it you will need to do a step in the Crazy Place, a second one in the real world. We’ll explain that later on don’t worry.

In order to start crafting the staffs, you will need two things.

Firstly, you’ll need a black disk. It is located around the excavation site.

  • On top of a small wall, near some crates, on the side facing the church
  • On the left side of the Pack-a-Punch machine
  • On the left of the wooden platform leading to the excavation site, right on your left coming from bunker between generators 2 and 3.

You will also need the gramophone, which will let you open portals, in order to get staff parts. It is located inside the excavation site.

Use now the grammophone on the table to open the stairs leading to the underground altars.

The three parts composing the fire staff are awarded by doing various things.

  • One of the part will be available on the reward chest once you activated Generator 6
  • The second one will ask you to shoot down a particular plane. Look at the skies, you will eventually see an orange glowing plane. Shoot it, it will drop a part down to the ground between excavation site and generator 4
  • The last part will be dropped by the first PanzerSoldat you kill. (Round 8)

You will also need the red disk. It is located in various locations around the church

  • On benches on your far left on first floor
  • On boxes, right on your left when facing generator 6
  • Behind the Tank bellow the church, you’ll need to move the armored vehicle first.

Once you’ve got the three parts, head to the Fire portal, in the bottom of the tunnel, on your left when exiting the spawn. Place the Gramophone on the table and enter the portal.

Once in the Crazy place, reach for the fire altar. You will be able to pick up a fire crystal.

Head back under the excavation site and craft the staff on the alter of the same color.

Once the fire staff is in your hands, head to the Crazy place.

In the fire-themed area of the Crazy place you will find metal grids with jars near it. You need to kill zombies on those grids with the staff until the jars are filled.

Go to the church now, multiple symbols made of an addition of points are visible on the wall on the first floor, on the left side from the stairs. A group of those symbols will be glowing, following this picture it will give you numbers.

The numbers you’ll get are linked to the torches in the tank’s floor. You will need to shoot them with your staff following the previous code.

Your 2 steps are done, to complete the upgrading sequence, move to the “Preparation – Final upgrade stage for all staffs” part in the guide.

To craft the Ice staff you will need a blue disk, as well as 3 parts and a crysyal.

The disk is located in the Tank station near generator 2.

It can be either:

  • On the table, right in front ot the entrance
  • On a shelf, at your left when entering the bunker, next to a mystery box location
  • On a shelf, at your right after the way leading to the roof

Concerning the parts for the ice staff, they are acquired all the same way. You need to use the shovel equipment on the piles of dirt around the map but you must dig only when it is snowing.

Each part will drop on each part of the map. Basically one in Thor’s area, one in Odin’s area and one in Freya’s area of the map.

For more infos about the shovel and the digging spots, see the part bellow.

To get the ice gem, you will now need to use the blue record with the gramophone, to summon the Ice portal. It is located in the underground tunnel near generator 6. Once in the Crazy place, get the ice gem from the blue altar.

Then, head back under the excavation site and craft the staff on it’s altar.

Once the Ice staff is done, you will be able to do its upgrade quest.

Head to the crazy place. Around the Ice portal, you will notice two things.

First, there are tiles floating above the area with symbols made with triangles and lines.

Second, there is an ice pillar nearby, with a symbol on it, this one made with circular symbols.

By using the following picture you will need to shoot the tile above that is corresponding with the symbol on the pillar. Once a tile has been shot, another symbol will be highlighted.

Once done, you will need to freeze three graves with your staff, then shoot them with bullets.
They are located:

  • In front of you, when going to the giant footstep where stands a soul chest, from generator 4
  • On a side of the hill, between the excavation site and the first grave
  • Outside the map near the destroyed Giant robot, near generator 2
  • Now that this is done, you can proceed to the “Preparation – Final upgrade stage for all staffs” part

The lightning staff will require 3 parts, a purple disk and a purple gem.

The three parts are located on platforms and high-grounds you can access only by getting on the tank.

  • The first high-ground is located in the first half of the tank’s path, between the church and the tank station at Generator 2You need to jump on the wooden platform on your right then going forward, the part is in the giant’s footstep
  • The second place you need to reach is on the second part of the tank’s travel, on your left when at the level of the excavation site, you need to jump on a wooden platform. The part is in the following cave
  • The last spot is just before entering the church again, you need to jump on the ground to your right
  • With a bit of practice and Stamin-up, you could get the second part and climb back on the tank just in time to get the third part.

About the purple disk, it is located around generator 4.

  • On a wooden chariot cart between generator 4 and excavation site
  • On a table between Juggernog and a Wunderfizz machine
  • On a metal machine on the right of the Wind portal, in the tunnel descending near generator 4
  • For the purple gem, you must use the lightning portal which is located next to generator 5. Place the gramophone, enter the crazy place and pick up the crystal on the purple altar.

Then just go back bellow the excavation site to craft the staff.

Now that you’ve got the lightning staff, head back to the Crazy place. Around the lightning area, you should see multiple purple triangles arranged like a piano keyboard.

You will need to shoot at the triangles with the staff. Enter the first sequence (136), then wait a little bit and enter the second (357) and finally enter the last one (246).

Once done, head back to the battlefield. Several metallic pannels are scattered around the map. They have a small cursor you can interact with to change its position.

They must be pointed using the following order:

  • In the tank station, near generator 2 needs to be set Down
  • In the spawn, down the stairs needs to be set Left
  • Near the wind tunnel’s entrance at generator 4 needs to be set Up
  • In the church, first floor needs to be set Up
  • Under the church, behind the tank needs to be set Right
  • Around generator 5’s broken house, needs to be set Down
  • On a wall of the Mound facing the church, needs to be set Up
  • A sound should play to hint you that every pannel stopped sparkling. You can proceed to the “Preparation – Final upgrade stage for all staffs” part.

Same song than before, you’ll need 3 parts, a crystal and a yellow record.

The 3 parts are quite easily obtained, they are located in the head of the three giant robots. Thor, is moving in a line crossing generator 1 / 2 / 3, Odin moving from generator 5 to 4, and Freya accessible only via the church, near generator 6

To access the robot, you must look bellow their feet. One of the foot will be lighted by multiple lights. When shooting those lights, it will “open” the foot and you will have to let the giant smash you beneath his opened foot.

Don’t worry if you opened the door, you will survive and be propulsed to his head before being evacuated after a short time.
The spots where the giant robots walk are symbolized by big rectangular holes in the ground.

About the yellow disk, it is located around generator 5.

  • On wooden boxes near generator 5
  • On a table in the Lightning’s tunnel
  • On the wall next to Stamin-up
  • Using this disk and the gramophone, you must go down the tunnel near generator 4 to go get the wind crystal.
  • Just go back under the excavation site and craft your wind staff on its altar.

With the wind staff in hand, head to the crazy place. Right above the teleporter, is a stone disk separated into 4 circles.

You must arrange the circles in a certain order. Shoot them with your staff until the symbols on the left are in the highlighted line.

Once done, head back to the main area of the map. 3 chimney will be smoking, you will have to shoot them with your wind staff in a way that the smoke heads towards the excavation site.

Basically just make sure the chimney is between you and the excavation site, then shoot it.

They are located:

  • Near generator 4, between Juggernog and Wind portal’s entrance
  • In the No Man’s Land area near the church, on the opposite way from where the tank moves
  • Just on the left of Stamin-up near generator 5
  • Make sure the smoke is redirected towards the excavation site, and not in a slightly altered direction. A sound should play.Proceed now to the “Preparation – Final upgrade stage for all staffs” part.

Once your dedicated quest is done, a ray of light should be emitted from the excavation site.

Head back there. Above the 4 altars stands 4 stone circles, with a colored ball, depending of your element. You firstly need to use 4 levers in the underground, to rotate the stone circles.

When moving them, you’ll notice they have got 4 positions, linked with colors. (Red -> Fire, Blue -> Ice, Purple -> Lightning and Yellow -> Wind). You need to match all rings to the color of the staff you want to upgrade. When all rings are matched, shoot at the colored ball in the center with the staff.

Finally, head to the crazy place and put your staff in the altar, above the orb you just teleported. You’ll need to kill zombies to fill it. It will eventually be upgraded and you will be able to take it back.

Main easter egg quest

Firstly you will need to have those prerequirements:

  • All 6 generators activated
  • One Inch Punch (Step 6)
  • G-Strike (Step 3)

The steps are named the same way the steps are in the mission “Vorkuta” in Call of duty Black Ops 1 campaign.

 

Step one: Secure the keys

Craft and upgrade all the 4 staffs. This will take time, check the parts above to do this.

 

Step two: Ascend from Darkness

You should now notice that a fifth receiver has appeared in front of the excavation site’s altars. Three other receivers have spawned as well in the giant robots heads. You must place all 4 staffs in these altars to complete the step.

To see how to enter the giant robots heads, check the wind staff part.

  • The fire staff needs to be placed on the excavation site receiver
  • The ice staff needs to be placed into Freya’s head
  • The wind staff needs to be placed into Odin’s head
  • The lightning staff needs to be placed into Thor’s head

Once done the staffs should respawn and be able to pick up bellow the excavation site, where you crafted them.

Step three: Rain fire

Now you have to reach generator 5 area. You will need to throw a G-strike outside the map on a stone tile. But before this, you need to press a red button inside a robot’s head.

In solo, you need to go into Odin’s head and press it, then you’ll have limited time to do your thing. In multiplayer however, you can wait in front of the tile when someone else presses the button.

Step four: Unleash the horde

You need now to send the Maxis drone (Check part bellow) into the hole. It will release a hole bunch of PanzerSoldaten which you need to take down.

Step five: Skewer the winged beast

You will need to use a Zombie Blood bonus for this step. While in zombie blood, you will see a glowing plane similar to the one you saw to build the fire staff. Take it down.

Now, an invisible zombie will run around the excavation site clockwisely which will be only visible in zombie blood. When you find him just kill him, he will drop the maxis drone, pick it back up.

Step six: Wield a fist of Iron

You need to equip the One Inch Punch which is an upgrade of your standard melee attack. Check the dedicated part in the guide.

Head back under the excavation site, besides the staff altars. Crusader zombies will come at you, with light mist around their arms. You must hit zombies with your fist to make the mist disappear. Once it is gone you can freely kill them.

When done, a stone tablet will drop. Picking it up will upgrade your fist. Every player must upgrade their fists.

Step seven: Raise Hell

Head to the Crazy place. Simply but no easily, you must place all the staffs on their elemental altars in the crazy palce, then killing a lot of zombies. When done, you will eventually have a white flash on your screen and beeing able to take the staffs back.

Step eight: FREEDOM !

Still in the crazy place, you need to send maxis drone up on the roof. Once it is gone into the portal, all players must stand in the middle and press action, to end the game and to watch the ending cutscene.
