🐉🔥 GOROD KROVI — LOVE AND WAR

The loading screen appears. Dragons are flying over Stalingrad. Nikolai is waiting in his mech, and we’re about to willingly enter a city full of zombies.

“Do you know what time it is?”

“IT’S GOLD ROD TIME!” 😂🔥

All right. Gorod Krovi’s “Love and War” main Easter Egg can be completed SOLO or in co-op. You do not need four players.

1. ⚡ Turn on the power

Work your way from spawn toward Dragon Command and turn on the power.

You’ll want to get set up with:

Shield • Pack-a-Punch weapons • Dragon Strike • Gauntlet of Siegfried • GKZ-45 Mk3 if possible

The GKZ-45 Mk3 isn’t strictly required for every part of the quest, but it’s extremely useful.

2. 🐉 Collect THREE Dragon Network cylinders

After power is on, zombies can drop Dragon Network Circuit cylinders.

There are three corresponding locations:

🔴 Dragon Command
🔵 Tank Factory
🟡 Supply Depot

Take a cylinder to its matching machine.

Insert it.

A nearby dragon will attack the area while you defend the cylinder from zombies.

When it’s fully charged, collect it.

Repeat for all three.

3. 🐲 Ride the dragon

After all three network locations are activated, go upstairs in Dragon Command.

Activate the dragon platform.

And yes…

🐉 YOU RIDE A DRAGON ACROSS STALINGRAD.

It takes you to the Pack-a-Punch bunker.

4. 🔫 Unlock Pack-a-Punch

Inside the bunker, head downstairs.

You’ll encounter the lockdown sequence.

Survive the waves of zombies and enemies until lockdown ends.

Afterward:

🔫 PACK-A-PUNCH IS AVAILABLE.

You’ll also obtain the Dragon Strike Controller, which you’ll need later.

5. 🥚 Get the Dragon Egg

Go into the sewer exit from the bunker.

While traveling back toward the main map, shoot the glowing red Dragon Egg sitting above the sewer entrance/route.

After returning to the city, go to the area beneath where you shot it and collect:

🥚 DRAGON EGG

Take it to one of the dragon nests.

6. 🔥 Heat the Dragon Egg

Place the egg into an incubator/nest where a dragon breathes fire.

Wait for the dragon to blast it.

Once it’s heated, retrieve it after it cools.

Now you have to complete the egg challenges.

7. 🥚 Complete the Dragon Egg challenges

Look at the egg in your inventory to see the symbols/challenges.

You’ll need to complete objectives involving things such as:

🔥 Napalm/fire kills

💥 Penetration/multi-kills

🧟 Melee kills

Complete the required challenges.

Then return the egg to the incubator inside the Pack-a-Punch bunker.

8. 🧟 Charge the egg

Place the egg into the incubator.

Kill zombies nearby.

Their souls charge it.

Once complete, retrieve the egg.

You’ll have to survive the lockdown before leaving.

Afterward, take the egg back to the challenge area.

You’ll receive:

🐉 GAUNTLET OF SIEGFRIED

This little dragon is both adorable and ridiculously dangerous. 😂

9. 🏆 Complete ALL SIX challenges

There are challenge tombstones near spawn.

Each player has randomized challenges.

For the main quest, you’ll need to complete the necessary challenge requirements and claim your rewards.

One particularly important reward is:

🔋 THE POWER CORE

You’ll need it later.

10. 🔴 Find the RED valve

Now we’re getting into the main quest.

Use the Dragon Strike on the required pipe/vent outside the map near Dragon Command.

This exposes an interaction/item needed for the next sequence.

You’ll eventually obtain the:

🔴 RED VALVE / CYLINDER

Bring it into the bunker.

11. 🤖 Give the Power Core to SOPHIA

Return to Dragon Command.

SOPHIA is the large computer system in the room.

Interact with her and begin supplying the required components.

The Power Core is part of getting her fully operational.

12. 🏆 Get the trophies

There are six trophies hidden around Gorod Krovi.

You need to collect all six.

They’re obtained by performing different interactions around the map.

Some involve:

🔥 Dragon fire

💥 Shooting specific objects

🛡️ Using the shield

🚽 Interacting with environmental objects

Once you’ve collected all six, take them to the bunker.

13. 🏆 Place all six trophies

Inside the Pack-a-Punch bunker you’ll find the trophy/statue area.

Place:

🏆 Trophy 1
🏆 Trophy 2
🏆 Trophy 3
🏆 Trophy 4
🏆 Trophy 5
🏆 Trophy 6

Now you’re ready for the infamous part of Gorod Krovi.

😈 14. SOPHIA’S SIX CHALLENGES

SOPHIA will give you six randomized trials, one at a time.

After completing one, return and start the next.

The order changes each game.

🚨 Valkyrie escort

A friendly Valkyrie Drone appears.

DO NOT DESTROY IT.

Escort it through the map toward Dragon Command.

Zombies will attack it.

Stay close enough that it keeps moving.

Successfully get it to its destination.

🧟 Mangler escort

Find the special Russian Mangler.

Again:

DON’T KILL HIM.

Damage his cannon/armor enough to make him follow you.

Escort him back toward Dragon Command.

Keep zombies from killing him.

💣 Gersh challenge

A glowing orb representing Gersh appears around the map.

Find it.

Shoot it.

It teleports somewhere else.

Find it again.

Shoot it again.

Continue until you’ve damaged it enough and Gersh completes his dialogue.

The GKZ-45 Mk3 is excellent for this.

💥 Bomb challenge

🚨 THIS ONE CAN END YOUR GAME.

SOPHIA displays a sequence corresponding to bombs scattered around the map.

WRITE THE ORDER DOWN.

You then have a limited amount of time to activate those bombs in exactly the same order.

Wrong bomb = 💥.

Take your time watching the sequence before anyone moves.

🛡️ Drone defense

You’ll need to defend the required location/object while waves of enemies attack.

Use your strongest equipment and keep enemies away until SOPHIA confirms completion.

🐉 Groph module / lockdown challenge

Complete the final randomized trial involving the map’s equipment/enemies.

After all six challenges are finished:

SOPHIA IS FULLY POWERED.

🔑 15. Get the keycard

After completing SOPHIA’s trials, obtain the keycard.

Take it to the Pack-a-Punch bunker.

Insert it into the computer.

You’ll receive another important item/data interaction.

Bring it back to SOPHIA.

🤖 16. SOPHIA leaves Dragon Command

Once everything is installed, SOPHIA finally becomes mobile.

She rises out of Dragon Command and travels toward Nikolai.

This opens access to the final sequence.

🔴 17. Get the POWER CORE

Take the required power component from SOPHIA’s system.

Bring it to the mechanism near spawn.

Use it to activate the final route.

At this point:

⚠️ YOU’RE APPROACHING THE BOSS FIGHT.

🛡️ BEFORE ENTERING

I strongly recommend:

❤️ Juggernog

⚡ Double Tap

🔫 Pack-a-Punched weapons

🛡️ Shield

🐉 Gauntlet of Siegfried

🔫 GKZ-45 Mk3

And make sure your ammo is stocked.

🐉 18. BOSS FIGHT — DRAGON

Enter the arena.

Your first opponent is:

🐲 THE DRAGON

Avoid its fire attacks while dealing with zombies and Manglers.

Look for the dragon’s vulnerable glowing sections.

When they’re exposed:

SHOOT THEM.

Destroy each weak point.

Keep moving around the arena and avoid standing in fire.

After enough damage…

💀 THE DRAGON DIES.

But don’t celebrate yet.

Because Nikolai isn’t exactly happy with us.

🤖 19. BOSS FIGHT — NIKOLAI

Now:

PRIMIS

VS.

🤖 ULTIMIS NIKOLAI

Nikolai attacks using his giant mech.

Target the glowing weak points on his machine.

The GKZ-45 Mk3 can make this fight substantially easier.

Destroy his weak points one by one.

Keep moving and use the arena for cover.

Eventually:

💥 NIKOLAI’S MECH IS DESTROYED.

🎬 20. Nikolai’s soul

Primis Nikolai approaches his Ultimis counterpart.

Ultimis Nikolai talks about his wife and the painful truth behind the stories he told himself.

Primis Nikolai ultimately kills his Ultimis counterpart.

Richtofen uses the:

🔑 SUMMONING KEY

Nikolai’s soul is collected.

And with that…

GOROD KROVI
