🏙️ Die Rise — High Maintenance

Before you begin

You’ll want to know where the four golden elevator symbols are, and you’ll need to build the Navcard Table. Depending on which path you’re doing, you’ll also need equipment such as the Sliquifier, Trample Steams, and Pack-a-Punched Ballistic Knife.

Both paths share the beginning before splitting.

1. 🀄 Activate the four elevator symbols

There are four golden Chinese symbols on top of elevators around the map.

Each player needs to stand on one. You have to activate them in the correct random order.

The easiest method is trial and error:

Player steps onto a symbol → if it lights up and stays lit, you’ve found the correct one.

Then try another.

If they reset, your order was wrong.

Eventually all four symbols will glow.

2. 🀄 Activate the floor symbols

There are another four symbols on the ground around the map.

Again, each player needs to activate one in the correct sequence.

Once all four are successfully activated, you’ll hear dialogue and the Easter Egg splits depending on whether you’re following:

🔵 Maxis

or

🟠 Richtofen

---

🟠 RICHTOFEN PATH

3. 🌀 Get the Sliquifier

Build the Sliquifier.

Richtofen needs you to use it to power the tower.

Take it toward the Dragon/Radio Tower area.

4. 🔮 Shoot the spheres

There are two black spheres located underneath the paws of the two dragon statues.

Shoot the spheres using the Sliquifier.

They’ll disappear and eventually appear near the tower.

Richtofen will give you dialogue confirming you’re progressing.

5. 🧟 Power the tower with zombies

Now you’ll need to eliminate zombies underneath/around the tower.

Their energy will begin powering the structure.

Continue until Richtofen tells Samuel that you’ve supplied enough energy.

---

🔵 MAXIS PATH

Maxis handles the tower differently.

3. 🔪 Get a Pack-a-Punched Ballistic Knife

Someone needs:

Ballistic Knife → Pack-a-Punch → Krauss Refibrillator

This is one of the major RNG requirements for Maxis’s route.

4. 🔮 Deal with the dragon spheres

Interact with/shoot the two spheres beneath the dragon statues according to Maxis’s instructions.

You’ll eventually get them positioned at the tower.

5. 🧟 Sacrifice zombies

Bring zombies underneath the tower.

You’ll need to kill them in the required area so Maxis can collect their energy.

Continue until he confirms that the tower has enough power.

🀄 THE MAHJONG TILE PUZZLE

This is the part where you should NOT just follow a universal code from a guide.

Your game generates information using hidden Mahjong tiles scattered around Die Rise.

The tiles tell you:

Which tower corner corresponds to which direction

and

the order in which the corners must be activated.

You’ll find tiles containing directional symbols/colors and numbered dots.

Write down what you find.

You’re solving an order such as:

North → East → South → West

but your actual order can be different.

---

🌀 TRAMPLE STEAM FINALE

Build four Trample Steams.

Bring all four players to the tower.

There are four golden lion symbols around the tower—one at each corner.

Place one Trample Steam on each symbol, making sure they’re facing toward the tower.

Now follow the order determined by your Mahjong tiles.

This final interaction differs slightly between the Maxis and Richtofen paths, but you’re ultimately activating the tower’s four corners in the correct sequence.

When you’ve done everything correctly:

⚡ The tower lights up.

You’ll receive:

🏆 HIGH MAINTENANCE

And the tower will now be aligned with whichever side you completed:

🔵 MAXIS

or

🟠 RICHTOFEN

This choice matters later because TranZit + Die Rise + Buried form BO2’s larger Victis/Polarization Device storyline.
