This is a guide on what you should do to get started on solo origins. This guide will cover starting out to upgrading your first staff. The staff we will be getting first and upgrading will be lightning. This tutorial will cover all steps on how to find it and upgrading it.

When you spawn grab maxis's brain and a shovel next to the m14. Start the generator and knife anything that comes near you, stay on the generator until it is finished to get your points back. Kill all the zombies on round 1 to start round 2. Wait for the majority of the zombies to be spawned on the map then grab the double points across from generator 1. To obtain maximum points group them up into a train and shoot the legs, use your knife to take out anything that gets to close.

Do NOT buy quickrevive yet.

You should have roughly 3500 points after round two ends. The goal right now is to get enough money for juggernog before the panzer comes. Please keep in mind this is considered the hardest map so this will take a while to get better at. You want to open generator 2, to do so you must open the door next to generator 1 go through the trenches and open another door. The first one costs 500 the second one costs 750.
On your way to generator 2 you want to go into the small incline in the trench and look near the table and boxes. You will usually find a piece to the zombie shield which is a must need here. If you do not find it do not worry move onto generator two. When you enter generator two you will see a building to the right the generator and a path inside a trench ahead. Go into the buidling which is the tank station. You might see the box here but ignore it for now and look for a blue disc that can be found on one of the tables of walls, this disk will ALWAYS bee in the tank station. This disc will be used for the ice staff but that is not important right now. Buy the mp40 from the wall and activate generator 2. Like generator 1 these special zombies will attack you from all sides. They will increase in health like zombies dependant on what round you see them at. Aim for the head and make sure to stay on the generator until you finish activating it. After this is done you want to keep killing zombies until we can afford two doors. These doors will lead to no-mans-land which is where you will be staying most of the game. The doors we will be opening costs 1000 and 1250. When you open the first door you will be inside the workshop. You will see a door to your left and a staircase to your right, go up the staircase and ignore the door to the left for now. Open the last door which is the only door on the second floor which opens up the biggest part of Origins which has generator 4 5 and 6.

After you enter no-mans-land go to up and buy some mp40 ammo if you need it. If not go to the left until you are on the far side of no mans land.

Watch out for the giant robots, if they step on you YOU WILL DIE

Right now you do not have quick revive so be careful. You will see a generator at the far left side of no-mans-land on your way there you might see a purple disc on a carraige you want this. Activate it and repeat generator 2 steps. Juggernog will now be activated, buy juggernog. You might see a purple disc on the table next to the wunderfizz and juggernog machines. This is the lightning disc which is needed to open up "the crazy place" which allows us to build our staff. If you do not see it wait until there are a few zombies left go to the wind tunnel which is located left of generator 4, you will see the lightning disc on a table at the bottom of the tunnel. Go over to the right of juggernog and you will see an mp40 on the wall. Buy it if you need ammo. If not you might see a piece of the zombie shield next to it Pick this up. The next piece will be located at generator 3 which we will head there after we pick up the first lightning staff part. If you look a bit up you will see a church on fire. We will head over there, hang around generator 4 until you have enough points to open a door and activate the tank. The door costs 1250 and the tank costs 500 points. Head through the giant's footprint down to the left and into the church you will see a tank. Get on the tank and ride it. You will cross a small bridge and see a platform and stairs to your right. Hop on this and you will see a lightning piece. Pick this up and hop down. You will find the last part of our shield either in the fire tunnel or near generator 3. Hop down and activate generator 3. After your generator is activated you might see the box you may open it if you wish but I do not suggest you do. Go down the stairs and you will see a boxes and a dead soldier next to them. 50/50 chance you will find the last piece to our shield. If you do or do not find it go towards generator 1 through the trenches and buy quick revive. If you did NOT get the last piece of the shield go down the fire tunnel to the right infront of spawn's door. The last part will be on the right near the doorway to the fire crazy place. Pick this up and head back to generator 2.

Go to the tank station and hop on the tank, if you missed the first part its okay we will be passing it again anyway. You will see something to jump onto the left while on the tank. This is in nomandsland hosting the second piece to our staff. Grab it and leave, you will not be able to get onto the tank again without staminup. Go back to the tank station and call the tank. You can call the tank by going to where the tank is when it is at generator 2, there will be a box that says "Call the tank" buy it. Wait for the tank to come, THE TANK CAN RUN YOU OVER AND KILL YOU. Hop on it again but do not get off until it is going towards the church. You will see a path to the right hop on it follow it and grab the last piece. All we need to do is open excavation site. Go back where the mp40 was first in nomansland and look for a white disc similar to the other ones we picked up. The white disc will either be in one of the spots: next to the mp40 on the ramp; near church giant's foot enterence or on excavation site. Excavation site is the big middle thing in the center of nomansland. Refer to screenshots for locations. After you go onto it go all the way down and pick up the gramaphone. Place the gramaphone on the table, wait for the staircase to go down and pick it back up and leave. Go to generator 5 which is the oppisite spot of juggernog. Here you will find staminup. Activate the generator like every other and buy staminup. Go to the left of staminup and you will find a tunnel like the fire and wind one we have gone to previously. Go down there and place the gramaphone. This portal will come up infront of you, enter. You will be in the crazy place. This place is where we upgrade our staffs.

Walk foward and pick up the crystal, after that go back and you will see a puzzle which we will solve later and a circle. Stand on the circle and activate by pressing your use key. Wait for it to finish like before and watch out for the zombies that spawn. After this go all the way down to the excavation site and find the purple pedestal. Hold your use key to build the lightning staff and trade it for your gun you dont want. Ta da you got the lightning staff! Sadly staffs arent good until upgraded (which is really easy to do) this will be covered in the next section.

Go back to the crazy place to that puzzle we talked about before. Once there there will be 12 triangles representing a piano. The top are sharp keys, we will be ignoring them completely as they are useless and just there to throw you off track. Starting on the left side will be 1 right side will be 7. Shoot the keys in THIS ORDER:
613
357
462

After you put the first one in wait for them to vanish and put the second one in. If you mess up just shoot somewhere else on the wall 3 times and start over. Samantha will talk to you and you will get an audio que you did this step right. After this leave the crazy place and head over to generator 5 where we will begin our next puzzle. This puzzle can be done before hand but if you come here wanting to know how to build it you will need these instructions.

There will be a sparkbox at every location listed here, turn them until they stop sparking in this order.

Gen5
Bottom of church
Gen6 (Activate gen6 while you are here same jist)
Windtunnel enterence
Spawn
Tank station
Excavation site infront of church

After you turn these until they stop sparking you will get an audio que, almost done! Head over to the excavation site all the way down to where you built the lightning staff. There will be 4 switches around the staircase. Switch them until they all are purple, then go down to the staff area and shoot the purple ball with your lightning staff. Go back to the crazy place and BUY THE AK47U OFF THE WALL NEAR WIND YOU NEED THIS. Place the lightning staff in its correct pedestal (purple) and kill zombies near it until it is charged. This takes 20 zombies. Congratulations you have the upgraded lightning staff!

There will be 4 boxes located around nomansland. One is near jugg. One is near the steps near excavation site. One is in the church path. One is at generator 5. Kill enough zombies until they go away and watch out for the giants as they will kill you and reset your progess. After all this is finished go to spawn or generator 6 box to pick up your reward. The thunder fists! one hit kill until round 16.
