Why does everyone mention there are 3 flaming wagons you have to shoot with ice staff? I've never ever done that, I always just do the tombstone part of it and I always get the orb?

I just wanted to make this thread to throw this out there because it seems not many people know this- If you did not know, once you make a normal staff into an Ultimate staff, you can charge an attack from it that consumes many shots. You do this by holding your trigger button as all the parts of the staff begin glowing from top to bottom. Once the crystal of the staff is glowing, that means your fully charged shot is ready. Each staff has a unique charged shot. MY FAVORITE AND IMO THE MOST POWERFUL ONE IS THE WIND CHARGE. You release a tornado at a target location. This tornado will suck in zombies that are a good 5-10 feet from it (so it has a hitbox that extends beyond the actual parameters of the tornado). There is no cap to the number of zombies that can be insta-gibbed by it. Amazing to use on a horde or in front of a certain spot to guard. Very cool visual to see, kinda stuns zombies as they begin to be sucked into it, use that knowledge to your own discretion. Uses entire clip to use though (there are 6 shots in a single clip), so you can use the charged shots a total of 11 times until you run out of ammo. Lightening Staff- Charging this staff creates a very large emp looking electric ball that shoots through the air fairly slowing, and then sticks to a solid surface. It may or may not travel through an entire wave of zombies. Very large hit box. . Fire Staff- Charging this staff causes it to shoot 3 fire balls. Upon impact each ball will turn into a lasting lava flow. It could just be me, but it felt really underpar compared to the other staffs in that it's unreliable damage. Ice Staff- I have charged and fired this staff, but only to see the visual. I did not have a chance to hit any amount of zombies with it, so i'm unaware of the actual effects it causes. The appearance it made, however, seemed like a shotgun ice effect. At least 10 shards flew out in all directions. Not sure what to think of it, hopefully it's more reliable than the fire staff though. Hope this helped educate anyone who wasn't aware of these effects :)

UPDATE- all ultimate's i've figured out except for the fire staff. I am currently under the church trying to light the flame bearers, but clearly don't know what to do and how to do it correctly. any new info!

Remember, always aim for the little red dot in his arm when he throws his hand at you to make him let go immediately.

Need tutorial! Haha awesome work though.

bump I must discover the ultimate wind staff.

I was referring to their "ultimate" form.

UPDATE- all ultimate staves have been figured out, except the fire staff. It's very unclear on how to finish it in regards to the flame bearers under the church. I don't know what to do or how to do it correctly, help! and yes, i know of the codes on the second floor. i just don't know how to decipher them Has anyone made any progress in figuring out how to get the "ultimate staffs"? I've built and equipped all of the staffs in a single match, and I got to the point where Samantha... errmr, further explains the situation with the staffs and how they're inadequate and need to be more powerful. I did all the riddles for the staffs except for the fire one (I can't figure it out, i feel it has something to do with the flame bearers under the church with the numbers on them), and that's as far as i got. My staffs didn't "upgrade" themselves or anything, i'm sure there's something i'm missing. anyone help out? :D

So have we figured out a way to turn them into their "ultimate form" or whatever the achievement said? We can't PAP them, so maybe before we actually build the staff we have to align the circular rocks above them to coordinate with whichever staff you're making? just an observation. there are levers to rotate those stones and each stone has 4 colored circles on it (one for each element), sooo... yeahhh :P

what does it do exactly? i've picked it up like 10 times, and the bonus cash i get from it is always so random. Can anyone accurately describe it's function?

Where did you go to assemble it if you don't mind me asking? also, if there are 2 people playing and one of them builds it, can both players get it?

I can't even find one piece to build that musical thingy where are common locations? and once you use it, does it destroy itself? Have you seen the 4 purple crystals that are on the top (not underground) part of the map? there's one in the church, one near the beginning journey for the tank (the others i haven't seen).

Has anyone discovered how to activate the pack-a-punch machine? I've only done it solo, but I have a feeling it's simply to activate all 6 power machines? If anyone's discovered it, please post here :)

What if its Maxis?
