I've just recently encountered this, I'm not exactly sure what causes it, but I'd have to guess either the Ray Gun, or Widows Wine. Anyhow, the easiest way to fix this, if you have the Ray Gun look down at your feet and shoot, the splash damage will cause it to fix itself. However, if your not holding a Ray Gun, then your going to need to use one of the different Grenades (regular or Widows Wine) & take damage from that.

I mean it kind of makes since. We have 3 parts that form the "Apothicon Servant", as well as 3 Quotes for the "Upgrade_Ready" Quote. So what if depending on what part you get first leads to which quote you receive. Who really collects the XenoMatter before collecting the other 2 parts beforehand. This could be the, "Zoroth Orotha" Quote, that know one seems to ever be able to achieve. ,________ The only thing I don't understand, if you haven't completed all the "Sacrifices" by the time you build the "Apothicon Servant", once you begin the Ritual, you almost immediately get the "Upgrade_Ready" as soon as the "Keepers" get near you.

I never touch the Pods either, until they've all become Purple, seems like the most logical way to play. ______ I'm definitely going to have to do some testing on whether or not leaving the "Heart" for the Final piece, will in fact cause the XenoMatter to spawn faster. Maybe we're supposed to leave the "Heart" for last. Considering we have Traps that use a "Beating Heart" as well as "Gateworms" that have a "Beating Heart". What if, once we Kill the Margwa, the "Heart" stays "Beating" for the remainder of the Round, & if you fail to build the "Apothicon Servant" that Round, or fail to have the other 2 items at your disposal, this is your PONR. _________ This could also explain why Treyarch added the (Hold X to pick up...) Option, as opposed to the way it's done in Der Eisendrache, where you collect the parts like every other drop.

@Conzul _____ Does leaving the Margwa Heart, actually affect the rate in which the Pods grow & Xenomatter Drops. I wonder if that could possibly be what causes which "Upgrade_Ready" Quote we receive, since "Zornash, Na'Orruja, Zornash" is the most common & chances are we more than likely grabbed the "Heart" from a Margwa that spawned at an Altar, after the second Ritual.

Especially with the Evo Dot site, Fast Mags, Rapid Fire, & Double Tap 2.0. Damage wise, hands down the best weapon in the game.

I'm not sure, I always end up dying during 1 of the 4 circles for the Keepers Spirit, simply because of the stupid ass Hell Hounds spawning in 3 at a time & having to run back and forth to see what Bow I need, then having to go grab it & making it back to the circle.

@Exactice_808 Thanx man. As long as your playing Solo in a Ranked game, once you get to the "Ghost Keeper" phase, you'll only have to use as many Bows as there are players unless you've upgraded more than 1. It only affects unranked games whereas the game registers people can Jump in & out. However, I feel like on Local, this shouldn't be an issue for Solo. Being you can't have people jumping in & out.

Exactly, and I'm pretty sure where I live it's 10⬇ 1⬆, for the exact same price. _______ Does anyone know in the most recent patch, being they fixed a ton of shit & fine tuned a lot of different things, if maybe by chance they fixed the Solo offline Quest.

@JJMFP Unfortunately no, the only thing I'm able to get at the current moment is Hughes Net. Which I've heard a lot of BAD things about.

Where I live at, Internet is not available, except for Satellite, and it's limited to like 10gb per month, with a d/l speed of 5-10mbps & an upload speed of 1mbps for $125/month. That's purely a rip-off and simply not even worth it. I can afford it, I'm just not that desperate, as I don't need Perkaholics to take me to Round 100+. I've been doing that just fine for years now. _________ So even though it's 2016, you would be surprised at the number of people who literally don't have internet access, because of where they live, cable companies don't want to spend all that money running Cable Lines for a hundred people or so.

I don't think it's laziness on Treyarchs part, more of them leaving breadcrumbs of this Created "Apothicon Language" they made up specifically for this DLC Season & more importantly, the "Apothicon Servant Upgrade Quest". That Weapon seems like it's going to play an important role in the Final DLC, as I said the entire Language is based solely around it. _____ Watch in DLC 4, we end up getting the "Ancients Apothicon Servant" & that's the one we can do the Upgrade Quest on. Then that'll be how (we) Richtofen & Co. defeat the "Apothicons".

I know one of the Quotes the Boss says, is "Zoroth Orottha". Which is the exact same quote as "Upgrade_Ready_0". A lot of the other stuff he says I coudnt make out, that one in particular stuck out like a sore thumb.

Did anyone notice I've been saying for Months now, the "Arch-Ovum" is the "Cocoon". ______ But too answer your question fairly, when @Rissole25 first revealed that image I said the same thing and people thought I was trippin'.

Yea, I believe the only time you have to repeat the first Time-Travel, is if you fail to enter the Code correctly upon entering it for the first time.

Yea that's what I was thinking, just a lot of people made it out like you could just run away from him. _______ I'd rather just kill his Panz-y ass...

If you run does he spawn back at the castle or no?!?! I've always just killed him as soon as I spawn back in as I have learnt exactly where to aim and don't worry about killing the Zombie.

@Conzul I think it is all relevant my friend, as I believe come DLC 4 the "Apothicon Servant" is likely to play a huge role in the outcome of the map. _______ Obviously the deeper we get into this, the larger role the Archons & Apothicons are going to play. I wouldn't be surprised since Der Eisendrache was heavily influenced by "Keepers", The Island will be heavily influenced by Apothicons. Hopefully, this is when we will also start to begin unraveling some of what is known as, "Keeper Language".

Yea but what I'm saying is, for example. First circle is Purple, ok well I'm definitely not holding that, so now I've got to make my way back to the Undercroft, grab the Void Bow, make my way back to the circle and kill. Next Round starts, I have to follow the Keeper to whichever Circle he decides to go to, we what color that is, go back to the Undercroft, grab the correct Bow, and make my way back once again & kill. Third Round, now I've got 2 Bows to choose from, either I'm going to get it right or wrong guessing. Either way I've got to go back to the Undercroft grab a Bow, hope it's the right one and find the Circle. All of this while 3 Hell Hounds are biting my fucking ankles the entire time, it's just ridiculous. Even with Stamin-Up you hardly out run them.

I would suggest getting the Drakon out the Box and using Double Tap 2.0. You can kill the Panzer in 1 Clip when you come back. Giving you plenty of time to avoid killing your last Zombie. I would also suggest keeping the Drakon band PaP it to become the Bahamut, as I believe this to be the strongest weapon against the Panzer & Keeper Boss. Make sure you have the Evo Sight attached & not a Scope. Lastly I would use the Alternate Ammo Type, Dead-Wire. Good luck, I hope this helps.

Because I want to complete it before the next map becomes available. For me that's the main thing I go for, once that's been achieved then I'll worry about trying to hit 100+ on said map. ______ Not too mention how satisfying it is to actually complete the Main Quest on Solo. The only thing that's giving me trouble is having to trade out the Bow, go find the next one figure out which one I need, going back and grabbing it, then going back to the circle.

@Conzul Fixed. Funny enough the majority of those symbols correlate directly with one of the 4 names of the "Apothicon Servant" with the exception of a couple. Like why is this, and what do those symbols translate to be, as opposed to the more compound words involving at least 3 of the Symbols. _______ We're you able to find any correlation between any of the "Keeper" Names/Statements.

Haha brilliant, I completely forgot about Alchemical Antithesis for using the Void Bow & The Spirit Bow. I'm normally so damn focused on getting Danger Close, I don't worry about any of the other G.G. I guess if I had internet and could use better G.G. than the crappy Classics they allow you to use, I would be more accustomed to actually using them. I believe I average 1 maybe 2 per Game.

You have to use all 4 Bows offline. If your not following the Wolf then you should be collecting "Apothicon Symbols". If your not standing in one of the Fire Rings or near an Electrical Urn you should be collecting "Apothicon Symbols". Honestly it's a very simple fix they could easily implement into the game. Waiting until that late in the game is hard offline as you don't have access to but 4 Perks, and most of the time Widows Wine is not one of them. The Hell Hounds is what makes it hard, because they begin spawning in 2 & 3 at a time every time you kill one. The Void Bow is what I find to be the Hardest because the rate in which it kills is terrible. Also I may be doing the step wrong, but do you have to kill every Zombie that round in the circle with an Upgraded Bow, or can you get kills using other weapons as well. That's probably what kills me the most, trying to constantly use the Bows.

Yea I've thought about it, I just wasn't really sure it would work on Current Gen. I'm also sure my Hotspot would be limited to 4gb or 8gb, how long would that actually last though.

So as we are all well aware in Der Eisendrache, you have to Bind to a specific "Bow Upgrade Quest". While this may work in Co-Op, I find it rather redundant & VERY time consuming on Solo. Seriously it reminds me of SoE where in Solo you could carry all the Ritual Items & Gateworms, except in Co-Op, it was dependent upon who actually picked up that specific item. That was until the most recent patch where they made Co-Op use the same shared inventory. ________ Why in the F**K didn't Treyarch make this same change for Der Eisendrache, especially on Solo. I know to most people it don't matter because you play Online. However, for someone like me it really sucks, and honestly I can't stand the Map. Every game is the exact same, acquire 7,500 points by the end of Round 3, save 1 Zombie and begin doing the Rocket Pad exploit, for the next 3-4 hrs upgrading every single F*****G Bow. Then to make it to the phase where you Summon the Keepers Ghost, to die by the mass amount of Hellhounds that can bite you in the ass 5x in less than 2 seconds, because your too busy running back-n-forth trying to figure out which Bow you actually need next. ________ Seriously I don't even know what to think anymore, I used to be the biggest fan (& I still am) it's just sad that now unlike previous titles the Internet is a requirement to actually enjoy the Game Mode (Perkaholic... Easier Easter Egg...).
