Der Riese

"The Giant is rising. Face the might of the Nazi Zombies in their heartland. This is where it all began. This is where the master plan took shape. Is this where it all ends?" Der Riese description Der Riese is the fourth map in the Nazi Zombie campaign. It is takes features from the multiplayer map Nightfire. It is the first map where zombies can climb o er areas and !ump down from an area towards the characters. It introduces the "ack#$#"unch machine% which for a large fee% upgrades weapons to ha e increased ammo capacity% more power% etc. It is the second map where the power is re&uired to be switched on. Der Riese is the third map where "erk#a#cola machines are included% and the second where perk machines do not spawn randomly. Der Riese is the second map to contain hellhounds% which spawn with the zombies at later le els. It is the first map to ha e teleporters% the 'onkey bomb% the bowie knife% and the fly trap. It is the second map where the identity of the characters are known% and the second to ad ance the plot. It is the second to ha e a small ob!ecti e% which is turning on the power and connecting the three teleporters to the mainframe to access the "ack#a#"unch machine. Der Riese also features the new "(arpenter" power#up% which boards up all opened windows in the le el. In Der Riese% the creation of the zombies and hellhounds is e)plained. Dr. 'a)is was testing zombies for the go ernment pro!ect christened "Der Riese" or "*he +iant". *he problem was that they would always go berserk and try to kill him% resulting in their deaths. ,e was also testing teleporters by sending zombies through them% but they ne er reappeared at the mainframe. $ll of these e)periments were done with his assistant% -dward. .hen he used his daughter /amantha0s dog% 1luffy% as a teleporter test sub!ect% he accidentally created the first hellhound. *he dog was teleported% but like the rest of the sub!ects didn0t reappear at the mainframe. It did howe er reappear in a ball of electricity and mutated into a hellhound. .hen /amantha came running in and started &uestioning her dad about her dog% -dward left the room. -dward then betrayed him by locking him and his daughter in the room with the hellhound% which then killed them. $nd then another Radio message shows how after 'a)is and /amantha are killed by 1luffy% -dward let loose the Zombies on the 1actory% as on another radio message you can hear screams and the sounds of Zombies 'oaning and 2elling and $ttacking. ,ow more hellhounds were created is shown in another radio message. In it% 'a)is talks to his daughter about 1luffy0s pregnancy% which makes it possible that 1luffy became a hellhound while pregnant. 3ne of the characters% Dr. Richtofen% has ob iously been to Der Riese before and probably worked there. ,e knows about connecting the teleporters and about Dr. 'a)is. It has been decided that he is -dward. In another radio message in Der Riese% Dr. 'a)is is contacting higher command. ,e states that he needs more 445 for his e)periments and that the "Ne ada 6ase" has some. *he "Ne ada 6ase" is ob iously $rea 54% which is what one of the groups of numbers was the coordinates of in the message in /hi No Numa. *his makes $rea 54 a possible future le el% but because it would ha e players fight against zombies in $merica% it is unlikely.

Radio Messages
*hese radio messages seem to be recordings of e)periments that were performed at Der Riese. 1i e people can be heard within these messages7 Doctor 'a)is% -dward% /amantha% and two unknown men7 although another person named /ophia is mentioned in one of the messages. 1or a ideo of the radio messages% see e)ternal link.

*his is the third map using electricity% but the second which re&uires it to be switched on. It is necessary to switch on the electricity so that the teleporters can be linked so that the "ack#a#"unch 'achine can be used. It is also necessary for opening the doors in the right and left factory rooms% lowering the bridge connecting the right and left hallways% and powering the "erk#a#(ola machines.

Te$eporters
Dinking the teleporters re&uires the player to approach it and hold the action button. $fter doing this a timer will appear% starting at ;E seconds% counting down. .ithin this time the player must return to the original room :spawn room? and link it to the mainframe. 3nly by linking all three teleporters to the mainframe can the "ack#$# "unch machine be used. - ery time a teleporter is linked% the door opens a little more. It costs 45EE to teleport% and teleporting can only be accomplished by going from one

node to the mainframe% ne er ice ersa or to another node. /ometimes% the demonic girl announcer will say "uh#oh" and no power#up will be dropped. It is then possible for a ,ellhound to appear after the teleporter is used. $fter hea y use of the teleporters% groups of up to eight ,ellhounds can appear at once after each teleport% either along with or replacing a power#up drop. *his becomes more likely as the rounds progress% and can e en happen while the teleporters are being linked. If the player goes outside of the map% a large black rectangular bo) can be seen. If reaching the inside% the same swirl that appears when the player teleports appears. It is here that the player is sent instead of directly to the mainframe. *here are four of these rooms% one for each player. If someone went inside of these bo)es% and someone were to teleport% the person teleporting would see the person inside the bo). It is also &uite possible the player is sent here in with collision off :so the player won0t fall?% as the weapon is put away.

It is possible for both a power#up and a &uartet of hounds to spawn after a teleport. .hen the dogs are walking% they are in ulnerable to all weapons% e)cluding the .underwaffe% or the electro#shock barriers. ,itting a dog with anything else will cause it to start sprinting. $ dog0s health will not increase after round 8E or so. *hey will a$%a"s be killed by two 6owie Fnife hits :one on the first two wa es?% or a single magazine of a non upgraded *hompson. ,ellhounds can be killed in a ma)imum chain of 9. *he ,ellhounds of Der Riese are somewhat easier than the ,ellhounds of /hi No Numa since they start out limping so that the players can get a good shot on them before they start charging.

Dudwigs illage is ob iously Der Riese% because Dudwig is Dr Dud ig 'a)is% and Der Riese was his operation. *his means that the zombies disappeared from Der Riese% and went out into the world causing ha oc. *his e)plains how the zombies got away from Der Riese% their place of origin% and ended up in places such as .ittenbau /anitorium :Kerruckt? and /hi No Numa. $t the Luggernog machine% there is a sign that reads@ "Insuper ised (hildren will be instantly sold to the circusB". *his sign is also found in Kerruckt. $t the 'ystery 6o) location near the *rench +un there is a sign which has ; bulletpoints. *he first one reads "Did not resist in "aris". *he other 8 bulletpoints or so far unknown to what they say. *his may be connected with the "aris photo noted below. $t the *rench +un 'ystery 6o) spawn% behind the mystery bo) is a board% with lots of torn notes and pictures. *here is a picture of a Zombie in front of the -iffel *ower in 1rance. *here is also a picture of a ,ellhound. $nother picture shows a horde of zombies% presumably escaping from Der Riese. $ll the chalkboards ha e the words "-)periment C;5 was a success" written in -nglish. It also reads things such as ",2-N$% -dward I know it was you% why won0t it work any more." In the Z#( teleporter room there is a board with "die glocke ist !etat 'alaile" :translation@ the bell is now mobile.? pinned on the upper left% and "folgen /ie dem +esamtplan" :translation@follow the entire plan? pinned on the bottom right. In the *rench +un hallway% there is a door with a danger sign and a ,ellhound0s head on it. *here is also a lot of blood on the floor here% and as such this is thought to be the room where Dr. 'a)is and his daughter /amantha were killed by the first ,ellhound7 pre iously /amantha0s pet dog 1luffy. 3ne of Richtofen0s &uotes7 "1luffy% is that youG"% is a reference to 1luffy. $t the bottom of the ca e in the starting area there are codes that read 0li ing dead0. *here are also se eral locations of books around the map :the field manual?.

I$$/minati -odes
*he Illuminati (odes are codes can be found in arious areas in Der Riese% all writen on wooden boards. *here are 9 Illuminati (odes.

*he 'onkey bomb is a new weapon in Der Riese. It is a (ymbal#6anging 'onkey *oy that has what appears to be dynamite attached to its back. It is used by pressing the secondary grenade button. .hen thrown% the distraction cause the zombies to crowd around it until it e)plodes. "erk#a#cola machines and -lectro#/hock Defenses return in this map.

*he "ack#a#"unch machine% which can upgrade the players weapons% is featured in the map. .hen upgraded% the weapons ha e a new platinum#es&ue finish with what seem to be engra ings on it and are upgraded to make them more effecti e. *he 6owie Fnife is another new weapon. .hen bought% it takes the place of the normal knife. It is a one#hit#kill weapon% up to% appro)imately% Round 48% and costs ;EEE points to purchase. *eleporters ha e been added too. In order to acti ate them% a player must go to one teleporter% acti ate it% then &uickly link it to the mainframe. *he players ha e a stopwatch at the top left corner of the screen that indicates how much time the players ha e left to link it to the mainframe. If the players succeed% the players can teleport from acti ated pads to the mainframe. *he map uses some en ironmental elements from Nightfire. *he 1+#98 is now a weapon that can now be bought off the wall for 45EE points. *o use the "erk#a#(ola machines% the power must once again be re#acti ated% like in Kerruckt. *urning on the power also has the side effect of lowering the bridge and opening two doors that link the left and right areas. 3n the pause screen% a map of the le el will appear% unlike the pre ious maps. Zombies can now climb certain ledges and fences. *he 'ystery 6o) is once again pointed at by a trail of light from the sky. *his time% howe er% the light is blue and comparati ely harder to spot% let alone tell where the bo) is. $lso due to the higher buildings and close bo) respawn areas the bo) may be hard to pin#point to unseasoned players. *here is a solar eclipse occurring in the map when playing in a full#screen game mode% but when playing /plit#screen two player% it0s around 'idnight.

Tri4ia
.affenfabrik Der Riese% the words seen on the wall at the beginning of the trailer% are +erman for "$rms 1actory # *he +iant". *he sign is toward the ,anger while in the 'ainframe area. In reality% a factory named Der Riese is belie ed to be where the original "Die +locke" was made. 6reslau% the location of Der Riese% is the +erman name for .rocMaw% a city in modern#day "oland. It is a series of se en underground structures linked together. Richtofen% Dempsey% *akeo and Nikolai are the playable characters. :,ow they sur i e is somewhat re ealed from the trailer. $t the beginning *ank is heard asking if e eryone0s okay% and Nikolai complaining that he feels like he needs to throw up. $fterward% Richtofen tells Nikolai it is a side effect. It could be assumed that they were somehow teleported to the factory.? - ery fully upgraded weapon seems to ha e a red flash when fired% e)cept for the '8 flamethrower% "anzershreck and the (olt '4C44. .hen a player uses a teleporter% words or phrases written on the walls in the le el can show up% as well as close ups of zombies0 heads and the picture of Richtofen seen in the loading screen for /hi No Numa. *he zombies appear dirtier and more corpse#like than pre ious zombies. (rawlers now !ump and grab planks of wood to break down barricades. *he man in the first image released bears a slight resemblance with the man in the co er art of the game. .hen obtained on this map% the Ray +un seems to ha e electricity flowing through the front area of the gun :a sign that this weapon and the .underwaffe are powered in the same manner?. *he phrase said by the 'onkey 6omb :"+et ready for a surpriseB"? is a reference to the 4CCE $rnold /chwarzenegger film Total 9ecall in which a bomb disguised as a fake head says the e)act same line before detonating. $t the start of the game% it is possible to hear a oice similar to the oice reciting the coordinates in the radio message in /hi No Numa say ".arning. "ower le els critical ...shutting ...down." getting deeper and more garbled up as it goes on. It is suggested that Richtofen had pre iously worked in the factory% and may ha e e en helped create the teleporters% as well as being confirmed to be one of the creators of the zombies :see

&uotes?. *his would make sense% as he also created the .underwaffe% which was created in the same factory. *his is the only map where the ,oly "istol can be used without cheats. *o get it% the '4C44 must be upgraded in the "ack#$#"unch machine :named the (#;EEE 64$* (,;5?. If the player gets the Ray +un out of the 'ystery 6o)% it will look redder than in all the other Nazi Zombies maps. *his probably happens because of the dark lighting of Der Riese. In the room with the 6owie Fnife with the catwalk there is a *eddy bear paw printed in blood. If going down the catwalk there is a window to the left with flashing blue that can be seen through the 6arrier. 3n the power switch% there is a lower arm !ust like the one from KerrNckt. /ome of the zombies can be seen to do a "loose" ersion of the goose step% a march used by the Nazis. *he &uote said by Dempsey when he kills a zombie with a flamethrower :"- erything burnsB"? is a reference to the 8EEH film Dark Fnight in which *he Loker says the e)act same line. In the trailer% each one of the characters uses one of their nation0s<country0s weapons. 1or e)ample% Dempsey uses an '4 (arbine% Nikolai uses a ""/h#94% Richtofen uses an /*+#99% '"#9E% and an '+98 and *akeo uses a *ype 4EE% but he also uses the 6rowning '4C4C% an $merican weapon. 6ehind the draw#bridge on the wall% there is the unfinished ,el:p? sign% which had pre iously been written on a door in Nacht Der Intoten ,elp is written in other places% too% such as on the right side on the first floor behind the crematorium. *here is another help written on the left passage to the original mystery bo) spawn. .hen playing on this le el% one0s A6o) Di e +amercard will list said person as 06athing in Nazi Zombie 6lood.0 *his is almost certainly a reference to Richtofen0s &uote "I lo e to bathe naked... in your bloodB" which he will randomly say after killing a zombie. .hen the (olt '4C44 is "ack#a#"unched and shot% the player will get pushed back like the Ray +un. In the bottom left corner of the map of Der Riese that appears while the game is loading% there is a finger% and in the top right corner% there is an eyeball. +renades are a lot more powerful on this map than on any of the preceding maps% making it impossible to create a crawling zombie before round 9. 'ore often than not% the last zombie of each round will start to run faster than normal% which was probably intended to make it harder to create a "crawler" for players to a oid while they re#stock and re#barricade unmolested. Interestingly enough% the timer that appears when a teleporter link is initiated will always count down from ;E seconds # despite the announcer stating that ":the players? ha e 85 seconds to link to the mainframe". *his is because by time the announcer gets to the time in his announcement it0s down to 85. *here was going to be a perk#a#cola machine called $mm#3#'atic% but it was taken away at the last second. 3n the moon% there is a red glowing spot. It may be a meteor containing -lement 445 :like the one featured outside of the map in /hi No Numa?. In *eleporter Room Z#6% in the left of the large canisters% there is half a body isible. .hen using cheats% it can seen that the other half of the body doesn0t e)ist. In the room where there is 4 brain stem and blackboard in the roof there is a note that reads "*o faithful ser ant% *he seed has been planted% obser e and report% 'a)is must not know. In teleporter Z#$ a metal door can occasionally be heard slamming. .hen carrying only the (olt '4C44 upgrade it% player will recei e a second% standard% '4C44 in addition to the (#;EEE :upgraded (olt '4C44?. It has been speculated that once the fly trap is acti ated% the game becomes harder. *he ticking clock in the 'ain (ourtyard reads 4@45% perhaps referring to the -lement 445. Der Riese0s loading map is full of &uestion marks most lead to hidden notes yet some are yet to be disco ered. they may also be where the perks#a#cola were supposed to spawn. if you look at the design% it is different than the actual map% suggesting that treyarch changed the map design at the last minutes along with remo ing the $mm#3#matic. this is also backed up by

flying through walls :mods on consoles% cheats on pc? and noticing your in what looks like something that was an unfinished room. $pparently the players are fighting to clear Der Riese not to sur i e like the other Nazi zombies maps.*his is e ident by *anks &uote" let0s get this done." If e eryone is &uiet% the players can hear what might be little kids singing. *his noise happens to be near !uggernog. *his noise can be heard in /hi No Numa also. *hey can be heard in these ideos@ http@<<www.youtube.com<watchG OFf *g4dm!E'#% http@<<www.youtube.com<watchG OFAge>kt4cIEPfeatureOrelated -lement 445 on the actual "eriodic *able of -lements refers to the element Inunpentium. It is placed as the hea iest member of group 45 :K$? although a sufficiently stable isotope is not known at this time that would allow chemical e)periments to confirm its position. $lso the actual element was disco ered in 8EE9. Note that inside the $utomobile +arage looking around% there isn0t really a way for an "automobile" to get inside. *here is a large garage door to the rear of it% but the furnace blocks any means to an actual auto entering. /tanding on top of the 'ystery 6o) in it0s first spawn point% the player can slightly hear music playing. *he reason why music is heard% has not yet been confirmed. *hrough a window% near the hanging man0s building% there is a message in a doorway reading@ "*eddy is a liar" 3n the Der Riese map% there appears to be a bulb from the .underwaffe. "robably because Der Riese is where the .underwaffe was created. 3n /olo 'ode% it is impossible to play as any character other than *ank Dempsy :same as /hi No Numa?. 6eside the mainframe platform% there is writing that says "-mbrace the trinity :three teleporters? and power will be yours". :"ack#a#"unch 'achine? If the player connects all three teleporters they will unlock the "ack#a#"unch 'achine. *he 1lytrap game can be started with a knife $ctually on closer inspection the clock actually says 8@45 *here a some links in the 6lack 3ps trailer that link to a possible continuation to the story line
