Greetings everyone and welcome in this guide dedicated to the zombie map Ascension.

It will cover:

• How to turn the power on
  
• Get to the Pack-a-Punch
  
• The main easter egg
  
• Eventual side secrets and achievements

And aheum .... that's it i guess.

Here we go !

The main power switch is located on top of the central building. Three gates will block you, no matter which side you choose from spawn.




In order to open the Pack-a-Punch, you will have to fly the moon lander to 4 locations.

Besides the power lever, there is a red button with a rocket's diagram. The diagram is separated in 4 parts colored in red, each time you land the Moon Lander on a newly visited platform, one part will turn green.




The landing spots are located:

• In the spawning room with the centrifugation machine
  
  
  
  
  
• Up the stairs leading to Widow's Wine:
  
  
  
  
  
• In the courtyard facing Stamin-up:
  
  
  
  
  
• In the area before the corridor with Speed Cola:
  
  

When the whole diagram is green, you can push the button, launching the Rocket, clearing the Rocket pad with the PaP machine at the bottom.






Note that you can destroy the Rocket while it’s in the air by shooting at it to obtain a power up.

The goal of your quest in Ascension is to free Dr.Gersh out from the Casimir Mechanism. After completing it, you will receive a shy Death Machine for about 90 seconds. Yay. *.*

Requirements :

• 4 Players
  
• Gersh Devices ( Black hole special grenade found in mystery box)
  
• Highly Effective Weapons ( PaP-ed Thunder gun, Ray gun or / and Ray gun mark 2)
  
• Matrioshka dolls
  
• Have the power on

Now that the facility is juiced up, you will have to throw a gersh device on a light on top of a generator , located outside of the map, on your right when facing the stairs leading to Widow's Wine.







Now that the generator is gone, head to the area of the Moon lander near Stamin-up. Upon arriving, turn to your left, there should be a flickering tv screen under the stairs. Interact with it, it should now show you the Illuminati symbol.







Now, you must wait a special round to occur. In this wave, zombie monkeys will attack you. They will also attack your perk machines, stealing your perks if you don't protect the soda machines.

You must activate 4 buttons scattered around the map at the same time. Each player must press them simultaneously.

They are spotted:

• On the wall, left side to Widow's Wine
  
  
  
  
  
• On the wall, right side to Speed Cola
  
  
  
  
  
• On the wall, left side to Stamin-up
  
  
  
  
  
• On the wall, facing Juggernog, above the centrifuge room
  
  

Note that the buttons will appear on the wall only in the special round, and after completing previous steps.



Head back to the Pack-a-Punch, on the opposite wall there is a clock with a pressure plate forming a circle in front of it. All players must stand on the plate without leaving for 2 consecutive minutes. Be sure to keep a crawler and draw him far enough. Once the needle has done one full tour of the clock, an explosion should intervene.








In this step you will need to write the word "LUNA" by taking the letters, acting as bonuses.
You will have to call the Moon Lander in the spawn landing location, near Quick Revive. One player shall stand on it, while another player will call the Moon lander to the location around Stamin-up.

On the travel, a giant floating "L" should be in your path.




Stand still on the platform, another player shall call it back to the spawn to let you pick up the "U".




Again, another player shall call the platform at the landing pad near Speed Cola.




Finally, someone else shall call the Moon lander at the landing pad near Stamin-up while you pick the "A" up.





Between Stamin-up and its appropriate landing pad, a light should have appeared. A player needs to throw a Gersh Device on the light, then together shoot it with the Matryoshka Dolls and PaP-ed Thundergun and Raygun.




Eventually, the light will raise in the sky and you will receive your reward, completing the Easter Egg. Noice !

If you already know the steps, this can help you remember the order of the things you have to do.

Like all other Zombies Chronicles maps, you can get a free max ammo and listen to a secret song.
To do so, you will firstly need to take 3 dolls with a Gersh Device.

• The first one is bellow the Pack-a-Punch room, on a pipe
  
  
  
  
  
• On top of the building, on your left when you are coming from Widows Wine to the Spawn.
  
  
  
  
  
• On pipes, right above Stamin-up
  
  
  

Once done, head to the Launching pad area. In a corner, near a mystery box location, you will find a doll near a small fire, in the grass.




Use action on it, spawning 5 other dolls on the map, which you need to fire at. The dolls need to be shot in the following order.

• On top of a pile of debris, while leaving the building with the power switch
  
  
  
  
  
• On a barrel, on your right when coming from Widow's wine area to the spawn. Near a Wunderfizz machine.
  
  
  
  
  
• Descending from the second pipe bridge, in front of Stamin-up
  
  
  
  
  
• In front of a crashed Lander, in the area with a Moon Lander location, and the TV used for the main quest.
  
  
  
  
  
• On top of the previous crashed Lander.
  
  
  

Once done, head back to where you interacted with the doll, giving you the Max ammo and playing the secret Song.

Three teddy bears are hiding within the complex. Upon activation, they will trigger a secret song : Abracadavre

They are located:

• In the spawning room, on the first floor, on the right coming from the stairs, on a barel
  
  
  
  
  
• Right above a gobblegum machine, on the right of the corridor, after Speed Cola.
  
  
  
  
  
• Behind a grid, on the left of the Moon Landing pad, after Stamin-up
  
  
  

Ascension's special round is not the classical round like Kino or Eisendrache. Hellhounds will not come, instead zombie monkeys will be dropping on the map.

The particularity of those monkeys is that they will jump on the perk machines. Eventually, they will steal you this very perk that you will have to buy back.

The closer you are from the monkeys, the higher damages they will "deal" to the perk machine. Once the "health bar" of the machine is empty, every player owning the perk will loose it. You will know which machine is being attacked with the perk logo blinking in your "inventory".

Note that this special round will come only if the power is on and if at least one perk has been bought.

Depending on how much players you are, you will have to defend your most important perks. Mostly Juggernog, Speed Cola, ...

If no perk machine has been damaged, the last monkey will drop the usual max ammo bonus AND a free perk for everybody.

Difficulty: Easy

Simply use all three Moon Landers. This is a part of the main Easter Egg steps. Also you can check their location in the part "Activating Power - Accessing Pack-a-Punch"






Difficulty: Easy

Simply wait a bonus wave to occur and bait some monkeys to come after you. Then activate a fire trap to kill them. They are commonly located around gates between PaP and Widow's wine.

Feel free to rate, comment, blah blah blah.

Also i'm taking kindly suggestions, if i missed something, or if my explanation does.

I've also made guides for the other maps of BO III, check them as you like.
