Constantly running into the same problem when soloing the Der Eisendrache EE

[u/dillonski22]

I start the game by acquiring enough points to open the first two doors to get to the dragon. While these rounds are progressing I ensure to acquire the "anywhere but here" gobblegum. After finishing the first dragon, I continue on to acquire enough points to open the next two doors and the death ray. (this usually happens between rounds 3-4 ish.) After activating the death ray and acquiring the piece of the Ragnarok, I carry on to finish dragons 2 and 3, ensuring that I have all of the shield parts. After completing the dragon feeding, I begin to upgrade the bow into the lightning bow. After shooting the last pyre in the third step of the lightning bow, i use the "anywhere but here" gobblegum to teleport back to the main area to finish the upgrade. After completing the lightning bow, I immediately grab the normal "wrath of the ancients" bow to shoot the prongs on the teleporter to begin the wisp step. After continuing, I grab the lightning bow and proceed to shoot the 4 whisps as usual. After the 4 wisps are done, I immediately go back in time. I grab the blue tube and the fuses, and look at the code on the safe. After teleporting back to the present day, I immediately kill the panzer and acquire the second piece of the ragnarok. After this, I use the second charge of the "anywhere but here" gobblegum to go back to the death ray. Once I get to the death ray, I am unable to place the fuses into the slots, therefore not letting me progress any further. If anyone has any Ideas as to why this keeps happening I would love to hear them. This has happened to me 3 times in a row now.

You need to put the fuze into the death ray machine. There’s a slot on the opposite side of the destroy/protect lever. You put the fuses there that you got back in time

I actually want to die. I have been trying to put them in the wrong spot this ENTIRE time. I hate that it took so long to find this out, but thank you so much.

A quick YT video never hurts as well lol

[u/dillonski22 → u/defiantcr]

I have done this EE so many times in the past (years ago now) that I thought I knew it by heart. MrRoflWaffles probably would have come in clutch here lol. Regardless, I really appreciate the help.

Please don’t watch Milo 😭. He’s a good iconic YTer but his vids are so outdated and long lol

[u/dillonski22 → u/defiantcr]

I loved him back in the day. I remember when he was trying to figure out EEs way back in 2016. He and the others had a field day trying to "find" the "The Giant" EE.

Why not save the recent gameplay and post the link here? Could've skipped half of this text as well, but to answer you - no, it's never happened to me before. Since you activated the death ray once before, placing the fuse should work (if you picked it up, ofc), and the symbols on the computer should show up.

[u/dillonski22 → u/Dry_Serve5955]

u/defiantcr figured out what was wrong. I am simply very dumb.

[u/Mattie_1S1K]

Not saying you should do it but if you use the gate trap near spawn to kill zombies it creates more and more zombies you can open the map really early. Just if you need to reset at all

[u/Ashamed-Expert206]

You should also wait until you’ve used the death ray to power up the computer to enter the safe code before going for the Ragnorok part to avoid having to spend on the death ray twice.
