Welcome to the ultimate guide for upgrading your bow to the fiery Kreeaho’ahm nal Ahmhogaroc in the thrilling “Der Eisendrache” Zombies map from Call of Duty: Black Ops 3! This powerful Fire Bow is a game-changer, offering devastating area-of-effect damage and stunning capabilities against hordes of undead. If you’re ready to master this elemental weapon, follow this step-by-step Der Eisendrache Easter Egg Guide to unlock its full potential.
Step 1: Retrieve the Fire Bow Quest Item from the Clock Tower
Your journey begins at the Clock Tower. Head upstairs within the tower, bow in hand. You’ll notice a distinctly marked section of the wall. To initiate the Fire Bow quest, you need to shoot this marked wall with a charged arrow. A successful shot will break down the wall, revealing the crucial “quest item” that starts your Fire Bow upgrade process.
Step 2: Charge the Fire Ball During Rocket Test at the Launch Pad
With the quest item secured, your next destination is the Launch Pad area. Navigate to the underground cave, passing the pyramid device if you’re coming from the Church staircase. Locate the teleporter within the Launch Pad complex. You need to wait for a rocket test to commence. A countdown will initiate, and blast doors will seal the area for safety. Position yourself safely within the teleporter room, as the rocket thrusters outside are lethal.
As soon as the rocket test concludes and the blast doors begin to open, sprint outside. Immediately look to your right. You need to shoot the glowing fire ball located slightly above the concrete structure to your right. Be quick! You only have a roughly 10-second window before the fire ball moves out of range. If you miss, you’ll have to repeat this step during the next rocket test cycle.
If your shot is successful, the fire ball will fly towards the castle, and a fiery sun-like object will appear in the sky above the map – a clear visual confirmation of your progress in this Der Eisendrache Easter egg.
Step 3: Shoot Aerial Arrows at Three Red Circles Using Wunderspheres
Next, you must shoot three red circles with charged arrows, but there’s a catch! You need to shoot them while airborne. Utilize the map’s four Wunderspheres for this aerial archery challenge.
Locations of the four Wunderspheres:
- On top of the Castle, near the Death Ray.
- In the Main Courtyard, close to the Church.
- In the room above the Double Tap perk machine.
- In the Rocket Site Landing Pad area.
Locations of the three red circles:
- On top of the Castle, near the Death Ray, directly in front of the Wundersphere.
- Near the previous circle, adjacent to a Wunderfizz machine location.
- In the upward alley leading to Double Tap, near a car.
The red circles will glow when you are airborne and aiming at them. A successful hit will cause the circle to remain glowing, accompanied by a distinct sound cue.
Pro Tip: Utilize the Courtyard Wundersphere for the Death Ray circle, the Double Tap room Wundersphere for the Clock Tower circle, and either the Death Ray or Landing Pad Wundersphere for the final circle.
Step 4: Kill Zombies Within the Red Circles
Once all three circles are activated, stand inside each glowing red circle and eliminate zombies. Zombies can be killed anywhere on the map, but you must be standing within the circle’s radius for the kills to count towards this step. When enough zombies are killed in a circle, a beam of light will connect the circle to the “sun” in the sky, and another audio cue will confirm completion for that circle. Repeat this for all three circles to proceed in this Der Eisendrache Easter egg guide.
Step 5: Clock Tower Symbol and Fireplace Puzzle
Return to the Clock Tower and interact with the clock mechanism. A symbol will be highlighted on the clock face. This symbol corresponds to one of three fireplaces located around the map.
The three fireplace locations are:
- Inside the Church.
- Upstairs, near the first Dragon location.
- Near Samantha’s Room.
After using the clock, one of the three red circles from the previous step will glow more brightly than the others. Go to this specific glowing circle. From within this circle, shoot a charged arrow at the ground. This will spawn a blazing rock. You need to move this rock to the fireplace corresponding to the symbol shown on the Clock Tower.
Each shot moves the rock a considerable distance. Your first shot should be from within the glowing circle. Then, stand on the rock itself and shoot again to direct it towards the correct fireplace. It will take a total of three shots to guide the rock from the circle to the fireplace.
Fireplace and Circle Correspondences:
- The circle near Double Tap links to the fireplace in Samantha’s Room.
- The circle on top of the Castle links to the fireplace inside the Church.
- The circle near the Clock Tower links to the fireplace upstairs, near the first dragon.
General Tip: Aim your shots as far as possible to move the rock efficiently.
Once the blazing rock is inside the correct fireplace, interact with the fireplace itself to pick up the upgraded Fire Arrow. Repeat this entire fireplace step for each of the three circles, one at a time, after interacting with the Clock Tower each time.
Step 6: Reforge the Arrow in the Sun
After collecting all three upgraded Fire Arrows from the fireplaces, return to the top of the Castle. Interact with the “sun” that is now at your level. The sun will ascend further into the sky and then dramatically explode. After the explosion, interact with the location where the sun was to pick up the reforged Fire Arrow.
Step 7: Final Altar and Kreeaho’ahm nal Ahmhogaroc
For the final step in this Der Eisendrache Easter egg guide, descend to the underground area and locate the Fire Altar. Place the reforged Fire Arrow on the altar. Now, you must eliminate zombies in very close proximity to the altar until you hear a distinct sound cue.
Once you hear the sound, interact with the Fire Arrow on the altar. Wait for the animation to complete, and a fiery trail will rise, culminating in you being able to pick up your fully upgraded Fire Bow: Kreeaho’ahm nal Ahmhogaroc! Congratulations, you have successfully completed the Fire Bow Easter egg in Der Eisendrache!
