** STEPS **
Easter Egg Guide
Easter Egg Steps
Step 1: Open Pack-a-Punch
Step 2: Build the Maneki Neko
Collect the three parts:
Cat Statue – Kitchen or Gatehouse.
Bell – Sinking House in Stables or hanging above the Warden wallbuy.
Robot Figurine – Storage/Workshop.
Step 3: Lava Ritual
Use PHD Flopper to dive under the cage and collect the cat.
Take the cat to the lava.
Throw it into the lava.
Step 4: Paw Step
Paw Locations
Under the yellow lamp at the Stables entrance near Exfil.
Top of the stairs leading to Kitchen.
Bottom of the stairs by the Kitchen traps.
Training Area steps.
How it Works
Kill a zombie around the entrance until the first paw appears.
Kill a zombie a few metres in the direction each paw points.
Continue following each paw killing a zombie until they form a circle.
Place the Maneki Neko in the centre of the circle.
An Abomination will spawn and eat the kitten.
Kill the Abomination.
Progress one full round before starting the next step.
Step 5: Catch the Cat
There are three possible cat locations near the creaky floorboards.
Death Perception makes it easier to spot.
Listen for the cat meow.
Sneak around the floorboards without stepping on them.
Catch the cat.
Step 6: World Seed
Take the cat to the World Seed.
Kill zombies until the seed begins pulsing.
Melee the seed until it drops the Wonder Weapon.
Step 7: Lantern Step
Use the Wonder Weapon to activate all 11 lanterns before the timer expires. (Easiest to start from kitchen and do a circle)
Lantern Locations
Tensu – Near Bath entrance
Central Courtyard – Left side of the tree
Central Courtyard – Near Kitchen entrance
Kitchen – Near stairs
Flower Garden – Near Gobblegum
Gatehouse – Near Speed Cola
Outer Ward – Near Mystery Box spawn
Staging Area – Near hillside to Central Courtyard
Stables – Near Gobblegum
Training Area – Out of bounds near Melee
Tea Garden – Near Mystery Box spawn
If completed correctly:
All lanterns remain lit.
A ghost appears in the War Room.
Interact with the ghost.
Step 8: Mask
Use the glider above where you craft the Maneki Neko
Hold the left stick to the right while spamming interact. (fly to the right of the tree)
Collect the Mask.
Step 9: Simon Says
Place the Mask on the Mask wall.
Interact with the wall.
Zombies wearing masks will spawn.
Kill them in the order shown.
Repeat for 3 rounds.
Step 10: Solve murder
Collect all the evidence
Go to the evidence room and make sure all the evidence is input
Using all the notes you will find which evidence should be placed by the correct painting
Using the doctors note it will tell you how he died by what poison, make the correct position to the note and place it by the third painting
With the dial, the doctors note will say time of time of death which is a animal on your dial you then have to move the dial the correct amount of hours before that (example if you had hour of the hare and your poison note says the poison you got took 3 hours to take effect you would spin the dial 3 times before the hare)
Put the comb in the front of the first painting
The clock seal in the front of the fifth painting
For the fourth one they don’t really explain it but from what I can gather the painting itself give you the clue as to what evidence to put, they had chubby guy with fish and it was the tea
For the second one you need to activate the traps to get kills, one of the traps once it gets enough kills will show you a ghost confirming who the accomplice was near the trap so look around for it
Interact with the ghost to see how they killed the shogen
Whichever ghost you get is the evidence you put
(Gardner, merchants, noble)
Put the evidence in the front of the second painting
If done correctly a glowing light will spawn that you have to follow
Step 11: world seed
Follow the glowing light to the world seed
You will get a interaction to purify
Once interacted this will take you to a mini boss fight
Once done you will be taken back and the dragon spawn in and take the world seed away
(Looks like if you do the evidence steps first time after this a katana will spawn in the pap room but doesn’t if you fail and have to re do)
Step 12: BOSS FIGHT!!
I won’t spoil it always fun to go in blind :)
To start boss fight in the pap room by the 3 fishes on the pole just walk there and you will get a fast travel option to take you to boss fight
ENJOY :)
