Are 4 Players required for the SoE Easter Egg?

[The Sauc2760]

I know you can't do it solo, but does the giant worm spawn 2 player or 3 player? Has anyone tried that yet? 

 

Only reason I'm asking is becuase 2 of my friends are good at zombies, and I don't really want to have to ramp up a third person or find some rando just to fill the required fourth slot.

Up until the last step, no. But the last step, after the giant worm is summoned, it seems like four players are needed to do everything you have to in the time you have to do it. It's unfortunate, but it's how it is.

Is that confirmed? Has somebody spawned the worm 3 player? Have they confirmed that nobody can make it from the tram station to the center of the mpa in time?

I haven't really looked into it, that's why I said that's what it seemed like, it could be possible

[The Sauc2760]

Gotcha. Alright, Maybe I'll try it out. Maps fun either way. Thanks for the response!

No problem, good luck with all your endeavors :D I hope it works out

The giant worm will only spawn when 4 players are in the game. It will not work with 2 or 3 players. The last step technically requires 4 players though it can be completed with just 3.

so you can just get someone to join the game when needed

You need 4 players in the game, or the giant worm will not spawn. I don't know if someone can just join mid game.

Once the giant worm has spawned in, it is possible to finish the LAST step with less then 4 players.

If a player was to get disconnected. 1 player turns tracks blue @ a station. Another player turns tracks blue, and runs to junction. The last player calls the train, enters beast, and turns last set of tracks blue. The player that ran to junction then zaps the keepers, initiating the cut scene.
