Der Riese: Fly Trap

The Fly Trap

The Easter egg of Der Riese is the Fly Trap, a game of hide and seek with Samantha Maxis. It is named after a real structure of Lower Silesia, the Muchołapka, near the site of Project Riese. Starting it gives the achievement Elevate Your Senses. It needs the Pack-a-Punch, so the power and the three teleporters first.

Pack-a-Punch a weapon.
In the alley near the doors of the starting courtyard and of the Animal Testing Lab, shoot the control panel with the upgraded weapon. Samantha laughs and says “I want to play a game… Let’s play hide and seek!”
Eight objects fly out in a ring, then scatter across the map to three spots.
Find and shoot the three spots, with any weapon, in any order.

Samantha cheers at the first find, “Yay, you found one!”, and at the second, “Wow, you found another one!”. After the last one she says “You win… GAME OVER!”, in an angry voice. The Fly Trap gives no weapon on World at War: its Black Ops III version on The Giant rewards the Annihilator.

Beauty of Annihilation

Three green jars with a spinal cord inside play the song of the map, “Beauty of Annihilation”, when the use button is held on each of them, in any order: two in the Animal Testing Lab, one on a desk in the side room of Teleporter B.

The lighthouse

The noticeboard near Teleporter C shows zombies on a coast with a lighthouse and a ship, with a note that reads “The Bell is now mobile” in German.

Mister Monkey

A Monkey Bomb thrown into a furnace screams instead of playing its song. After it explodes, Samantha asks “Why are you so cruel to Mister Monkey? Mister Monkey just wanted to play!”

The chalkboards

Their equations hide “NEVER AGAIN SAM”, “EDWARD, I KNOW IT WAS YOU!” and the name of Harvey Yena, with a Vril-1 flying saucer and the Black Sun.

Voices

At the top of the stairs of the Automobile Garage, Samantha can be heard crying; near Juggernog and near the power generator, children sing.

Radios

Radios hidden around the factory, one of them in the starting courtyard, tell the story of Group 935.

The photos of the three noticeboards were hints of the maps of a fourth map pack for World at War, which was cancelled. The lighthouse and the ship were later seen in Call of the Dead, and Moon kept Paris as its code name.

In the First Room

The Fly Trap needs a Pack-a-Punched weapon, so it cannot be started doors closed. The courtyard still keeps its radio and the shadow of a teddy bear holding a knife, cast on the wall by a real teddy bear outside one of its barriers.
