TranZit — Tower of Babble

🔵 MAXIS PATH

This is the easier route and requires at least 2 players.

1. Build Turbines

At the Bus Depot, assemble the Turbine. For the quest, make sure at least two players have one.

2. Turn the power ON, then OFF

Travel to the Power Station and assemble the power switch.

Turn the power ON and wait for Maxis to finish speaking. He’ll tell you the active power grid is interfering with him.

Turn the power back OFF. Keep it off for Maxis’s route.

3. Get EMP Grenades

You’ll want someone to obtain EMP Grenades from the Mystery Box. You’ll need them for the Avogadro step.

4. Find the Pylon

Go into the cornfield between Farm and the Power Station.

Work through the corn maze until you reach the enormous electrical tower—the Pylon.

Place two working Turbines underneath it. Maxis should begin talking.

5. Bring in the Avogadro ⚡

Wait until the Avogadro/electric zombie appears.

Bring him underneath the Pylon.

When Maxis gives you the cue to finish the step, use the EMP while the Avogadro is underneath the tower. You’ll get dialogue confirming that the tower has received the energy.

6. Power two streetlights

Now take two working Turbines to two of the green streetlights/lampposts.

A commonly used pair is:

Player 1 → Bus Depot streetlight
Player 2 → Diner streetlight

Place both Turbines underneath the lights at the same time.

You’ll hear Maxis confirm completion and receive:

🏆 TOWER OF BABBLE

That’s the Maxis side complete.

🟠 RICHTOFEN PATH

Richtofen’s route is considerably more involved. Samuel Stuhlinger is the character who can hear Richtofen’s instructions, so having someone playing Samuel makes following the quest much easier.

1. Turn ON the power

Build and activate the power at the Power Station.

Unlike Maxis:

⚡ KEEP THE POWER ON.

2. Build the Jet Gun

You’ll need to assemble the Thrustodyne Aeronautics Model 23, better known as the Jet Gun.

Its four parts are scattered across TranZit.

Once you’ve assembled it, take it toward the Pylon in the cornfield.

3. Charge the Pylon

Stand underneath the Pylon and use the Jet Gun on the strange meteor/rock beneath it.

Keep using it until Richtofen gives Samuel the confirmation that you’ve supplied enough energy. Be careful because the Jet Gun can break from overheating.

4. Feed more energy into the tower

Stay underneath the Pylon and defeat zombies there as required by Richtofen.

Once enough energy has been supplied, Richtofen tells Samuel that you’ve actually given the tower too much power.

He wants it reduced by a factor of four.

And that’s your clue for the final puzzle.

5. Prepare FOUR green lampposts

Find the green lampposts scattered around TranZit.

You can use Denizens to create teleporters underneath them: let a Denizen latch onto you and take it underneath an active green lamppost so it digs a portal.

You want access to four different lamppost locations.

6. EMP FOUR different lampposts

This is the big finale.

With 4 players, it’s easiest:

Player 1 → Lamp A
Player 2 → Lamp B
Player 3 → Lamp C
Player 4 → Lamp D

Hit all four different lampposts with EMPs at essentially the same time.

With fewer players, the teleporters can be used to quickly reach additional lamps during the EMP window.

When you’ve successfully disabled all four:

⚡ The tower activates for Richtofen.
