TranZit:
Tower of Babble

Maxis’ side

1. Two players build a Turbine each. All three parts are in the depot hall, where the game starts.
2. Maxis asks for the power to be turned off. Turn it off. Switching it back on later does not undo progress.
3. At least one player gets EMP Grenades from the Mystery Box.
4. Go to the Pylon and place both Turbines under it. Maxis talks as it charges, then says it needs energy that is “alive”.
5. Kill the last zombie of a round while the lightning is right above you, so the Avogadro comes. When he is under the tower, kill him with an EMP. Both Turbines must still have power: if Maxis says “your power supplies are drained”, swap the dying one and repeat.
6. Two players take their Turbines to two different lamp posts, for example the depot and the Diner. Placing them there completes the quest. If two Turbines already stand under two lamps when step 5 ends, it completes at once.

Richtofen’s side

1. Leave the power on for the whole quest.
2. Build the Jet Gun: jet engine in the Tunnel, wires in the Power Station room with Tombstone, handbrake in the Nacht der Untoten building, pressure gauge in the Hunter’s Cabin, then the bench in the Town bar. The bus stops at none of the first three.
3. Under the Pylon, fire the Jet Gun until it breaks. Richtofen speaks to Samuel and the green lamps around the map start to flicker. Let it cool fully before you start, or the step may not count.
4. Under the tower, kill 25 zombies with explosives. The Ray Gun and the Ray Gun Mark II count. Richtofen tells Samuel when it is enough.
5. Get EMP Grenades: two players at least, ideally all four.
6. Throw four EMPs at four different lamp posts, now sparking with electricity. With four players, everyone throws at once. With fewer, a player throws one, dives through a Denizen portal and throws the next.

Solo is possible: open at least three portals with Denizens, keep two EMPs, and chain throws and portal jumps from the lamp across from the Hunter’s Cabin or the one between the Power Station and the cornfield, catching a Max Ammo on the way to refill. It takes fast reflexes and luck, since a portal can drop you at a lamp you already hit.

After the quest

Richtofen

The Pylon glows blue, a power-up drops when you finish, the lamps glow blue and shoot blue electricity at the tower, and the Green Run icon flashes blue.

Maxis

The Pylon glows with orange surges and sometimes drops power-ups under it. The lamp posts glow red and shoot orange electricity at the tower, and the Green Run icon on the world map flashes orange. This is the canon ending.

If two players who finished different sides play together, both colors show at once. The quest continues on Die Rise and Buried, where the two other Pylons wait.
