Side Easter eggs

The Workshop page of The Iron Dragon promises “Multiple Side Easter Eggs” next to the main quest. It warns content creators that one of them plays a copyrighted song, and that avoiding the radios is enough to keep it silent; every other piece of music on the map is copyright free music by Treyarch, the creator says. The list below follows the Map Guide pinned on the Workshop page and the video guides that show each secret.

Free perk: the five ravens

Shoot the five ravens perched around the map to earn a free perk.

  1. In the spawn, on a pillar over the wall, seen from where the game starts.
  2. On a roof towards the end of the bridge, on the way to the castle.
  3. On the ledge above the Wrath of the Ancients, in the main stairwell.
  4. In the first room on the left as you go into the castle, the room of the urn, on top of a bookshelf.
  5. On the wooden railing up the stairs on the right of the death ray, on the way from Mule Kick to the Pack-a-Punch.

The raven of the spawn

“Right where you spawn on a pillar”, in the words of the Map Guide.

Free Max Ammo: the five vases

In the crypt of the bows, shoot the five red vases on the walls: on the right and on the left of the portal of the void orb, on the right of the sewer pipe, and two on the left of it. A Max Ammo appears at the top of the stairs, by the panel of the laser. Sassy Asi advises keeping it for the boss fight. DKnight 115 found them hard to spot even knowing where they were, and simply sprays the wall.

The vases

Red pots set into the walls of the crypt, around the portal of the void orb and the sewer pipe.

Free points: the booze of Leroy

  1. In the hallway that leads to the power, go through the door on the left. The next room has a painting of Leroy and a bowl of candy on a table. On the wall across from them hangs a key: take it.
  2. In the room on the right, open the jail cell with the key and take the booze.
  3. Place the booze by the painting and the candy. Leroy answers with a sound and the player earns 750 points.

The painting of Leroy

With the bowl of candy on the table in front of it, in the room on the left of the hallway to the power. His cage is in the next room.

Free points: the dragon

Once the main quest is done, a dragon flies around the castle. Shot down, it catches fire and disappears and gives points: 11,500 according to the Map Guide and Sassy Asi, 10,000 according to Glitching Queen. Any Pack-a-Punched weapon brings it down fast.

Music Easter eggs

Two songs are hidden on the map, each started by three objects to interact with. The Map Guide calls them “Dead Again” and “Sheppard of Fire”.

SongWhere the three objects are
Dead AgainAt the top of the Origins church, on the right of Quick Revive; next to the stairs that lead up to the orb room; downstairs across from the altar of the Wrath of the Ancients, at the end of the hallway on the right.
Sheppard of FireInside the robot head of the storm orb; on the right of Mule Kick, at the death ray; on the left side of the room straight ahead as you enter the castle.

Flapix shows the two songs in a full guide of the map, one started by teddy bears and one by radios, and the Workshop warning about a copyrighted song names the radios. The Workshop credits the shootable music Easter egg to Nate Smith Zombies.

Disco ball

In the church room of Der Eisendrache, shoot the globe in the middle of the room: dance music starts and a disco ball lights the room. The player Zagz posted it on the Workshop discussions in August 2023.

Shield parts

The shield of the map has three parts, each with three possible spots, according to the Map Guide and Not So Serious Gaming, who call them the eagle, the visor and the gas parts. It is built at a crafting table; the creator credits a script that repairs the shield with the Carpenter power-up to Frost Iceforge.

PartPossible spots
DollyOn the walkway of the church room of Der Eisendrache; on the pillar next to Speed Cola; against the wall across from the dragon head of the same room.
ClampAt the bottom of the Origins church, against a pillar; on top of crates on the left of the entrance of the bridge; across from the Mystery Box on the bridge.
DoorOn a chair on the left of Electric Cherry; in the first room on the left as you enter the castle, at the feet of the knight statue; on a box on the right as soon as you enter the castle.
