The First Room

The game starts in the spawn area, behind the castle of Der Eisendrache: a snowy yard with a graveyard, stone walls, wooden fences and sandbags, next to an Origins church with a tank outside. The guides do not agree on where the spawn area ends: Not So Serious Gaming puts the church “within the spawn area”, Glitching Queen “outside of the spawn area”. Glitching Queen explains that this is the back side of the castle, with “the spawn area behind it”. A game starts there with the Mauser C96, as every guide and record watched for this book shows.
The doors that leave the spawn stay closed in a First Room game. YaBoyBadger counts two doors between the spawn and the first dragon head, on the gate at the entrance of the bridge, and Glitching Queen goes through “a couple of barriers” from the Origins church to that head. No source gives the price of the spawn doors; the change notes of June 3, 2023 only say that “most doors now only cost 750”.
Weapons
The record runs watched for this book play with the EBR-14, which Sassy Asi places on a wall of the graveyard, and the RK 7 Garrison. No source says where the RK 7 Garrison is bought, and none gives a price.
Perks
No perk icon appears in the HUD of the First Room records watched for this book, BooGieMAn’s round 16 and Ninjahunter22’s round 15. The Map Guide places Quick Revive at the top of the Origins church and Der Wunderfizz near its entrance; no source says whether a First Room player can reach them.
The raven of the spawn
One of the five ravens of the free perk sits on a pillar over the wall, seen from where the game starts, Not So Serious Gaming shows.
Enemies
Zombies, in the snow and between the graves, all through the record footage.
The The Iron Dragon leaderboard keeps one board for solo and one for two players. The Iron Dragon is a custom map: it is listed with the Black Ops III custom maps, whose boards “count in no ranking and no rating”. The rules of the board:
Doors closed
“Reach the highest round you can without opening any doors or barriers.” “Every round must be played in full.”
No glitch
“Glitches or Exploits are NOT ALLOWED.”
Video
“Full gameplay is required.” “Twitch: Make sure your footage is highlighted as past broadcasts will not be accepted.” “YouTube: Make sure your video is public or unlisted.”
