ALL YOU NEED GUIDE TO RAVE IN THE REDWOODS

This guide will give you everything you've ever wanted to know about Red in the Redwoods! This guide, like my Zombies in Spaceland guide, strives to be the most comprehensive guide possible, although there may be some things that I miss.

Majority of this guide is following the Tab menu. Therefore, completing everything in this guide will net you almost every achievement for the map.

Below is a map of Rave in the Redwoods that I'll reference a few times throughout the guide

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

Heads Up! I'm currently working on improving the guide, with updated pictures, better formatting and adding things that I missed. If you see things change on the guide over the next few days, just please bare with me!

Power is much less involved in Rave in the Redwoods. Head to the Mining area of the map and head underground. You'll come into a room that is directly under spawn. On a wall opposite the stairs is the power switch. Flip it on and you're good to go!

---

There are three boat pieces that you'll need to pick up to make your way to Turtle Island which houses the projector to get to Pack a Punch.

• The Engine: In the Mess Hall laying against a pillar.

• The Paddle: In the Recreational Area on the right hand side near Quickies.
  

• The Propeller: In the room above spawn near Tuff Nuff.
  

Once all parts have been picked up, go to the dock on the Lake and place the boat pieces, but don't forget to pick up the Film reel before leaving!

• Directly outside where you get on the boat laying on the dock.
  ‎ ‎ ‎
  
• Outside the house next to the campfire on Turtle Island.

Once you have the film reels, place them on the projector in the house on Turtle Island and you're done with Pack a Punch!

For those that have completed the Zombies In Spaceland main quest easter egg, you don't have to worry about this quest as Double Pack will already be unlocked for you. However, if you have not complete the Zombies in Spaceland main quest, you will have to complete the below quest to unlock Double Pack. Simply complete the above section to get the pack a punch projector up and running Make your way back to spawn and on the front desk, there's an old 90's computer. Interact with the computer and you will begin to hear it make the dial-up sounds (old way to access the internet). Below is the video where I activate it. After 2 Full rounds, the Alien fuses will spawn to the right of the computer. Pick them up, go to pack a punch and install them into the machine!

Similar to Zombies in Spaceland with the Souvenir machines, there are Totems that allow you to place up to 3 gems and get a reward. Below are the combinations and the respective reward.

To start the quest to unlock the container in spawn holding the crossbows, you'll need to grab these two things

• A sausage (hotdog) from the bucket on Turtle Island near the projector.

• A Rave mode pouch, which you get eventually from killing zombies.

Once you have these two things, you're ready to go!

There are a total of 3 symbols you need to collect while in Rave mode. You'll find the symbols by entering rave mode, going to the locations below, throwing a Sausage at the deer head. It will pop off the wall, all you need to do is shoot it and the symbol will drop. Collect the symbol and move on.

If you do this fast enough and utilize the "Listen to the fairies" feature to extend Rave mode, you can get this done in one Rave mode.

Locations:

• In the Bear Lodge (Spawn) to the right of where you pickup the crossbows.
  
• In the Mess Hall above the fire place.
  
• In Camper Cabins on the back side in one of the Cabins. (View the video for a better explanation..)

Here's a video of me completing the symbols in one Rave mode for reference of a route you can take.

Obviously, you will need to have completed the Vlad unlock to be able to upgrade the crossbow (If you are playing Director's Cut. You can just get the upgraded crossbows from the Magic Wheel).

Each one of the crossbow upgrades have the same exact steps minus the fact that you'll need to collect a different statue depending on what crossbow you want.

Below will be the steps that each bow has as well as the locations of all of the statues as well as their bigger versions. Also, below is which statue goes to which Crossbow.

• Deer: Whirlwind EF-5
  
• Eagle: Trap-o-Matic
  
• Owl: Acid Rain
  
• Wolf: Ben Franklin
  

Finally, you can do more than one statue at once. However, each statue for the last section must be filled using the Vlad and each statue's upgrade can only be picked up when you have The Vlad in your inventory. There are a total of nine different locations where the statues can spawn. Any statue can spawn in the locations provided. Once you have the statue you want, bring the statue to the speakers at the Recreation Area left of Quickies and place it down.

• Picnic table in Camp Wolf

• Trailer in Recreation Area near the Type-2
  

• Near the bottom of the climbing wall in Recreation Area
  

• Opposite of Racin' Stripes in Camper Cabins
  

• Next to bench on path between Camper Cabins and Mess Hall
  

• On the stairs next to Bang Bangs
  

• On table at docks near Trail Blazers
  

• On the Adventure Course Floor
  

• Under the canoes near Slappy Taffy
  

‎ ‎
As a reminder, you can do more than one statue you at once at this point. However, once you've collected the statues you want. Head to the Recreation Area in front of the Rave statue and place your statue(s) on the speakers. From here, you want to damage zombies just enough that they explode into dust, so use a fairly low powered weapon to efficiently do this.
‏‏‎ ‎
‎ ‎ ‎
Once the statues have been fed enough disintegrated zombies, you'll get the prompt that you can pick them back up. Pick them back up and you can head to the big statue and place the little statue in front of it. Below are the locations of the big statues. Obviously you need to match the little one with the big one.

• Deer: At the Docks near the exit going towards the Mess Hall

• Eagle: Thunderbird Amphitheater (Bonfire Area)
  

• Owl: At Owl Camp near entrance to Marvin Mines
  

• Wolf: Directly next to the Owl statue.
  

Once you've placed the statue down at it's bigger variant, you need to get about 15-20 kills with the Vlad in front of the statue (get the kills fairly close). You will have the option to interact with the statue once you've collected enough souls.

Interacting with the completed statue will give you the upgraded crossbow!

Preface

Below is going to be the explanation of how to do each ritual that leads up to the boss fight. These rituals are already pretty easy, however, I'm going to give some tips that I use every time I complete this easter egg.

First, I would start by getting an accurate AR. Something like the Volk, or an accurate SMG will work. Do not use the FHR, this thing is inaccurate as hell and will make your life like hell for the 1st and 3rd rituals. The Mauler is also a pretty good weapon, but really slow.

Secondly, work on getting the Balloon Trap (2 blues and a yellow gem in the totem) or Gas Grenades as this is going to help a lot during the second ritual.

Lastly, YOU WILL LOSE A PERK IF YOU FAIL ANY OF THE RITUALS!. This is especially detrimental to those of you playing in Director's Cut mode since if you lose Bang Bangs, you cannot buy that perk back because its bugged.

With all this set, speak to Kevin Smith at Turtle Island to spawn the first picture for the ritual.

---

Ritual 1 - Jay and shooting the arms

Step 1:
The picture can be found in the Recreation Area behind the big Rave statue next to a weapon wall buy. Pick up the picture and you'll begin to hear some dialog play.
⠀ Step 2:
Once you have the picture, head to the area just outside of spawn (the Bear Lodge) with the big bonfire. Use the door that's on the side where Up 'N Atoms is. Once there, in front of the fire you can place the picture which will start the ritual.
⠀

Step 3:
Once the picture is placed, you'll go into Rave mode and zombies will begin constantly spawning.
You want to shoot their arms off! And shoot them off quickly as this is a timed step!
After each successful gib of an arm, you'll see a soul go to the picture. Once the last soul has been collected, you'll see all the souls rapidly go into the picture and inspect it which will spawn a Kill-able Slasher and take you out of Rave mode
⠀

Step 4:
The slasher will be invulnerable until Rave mode has completely stopped. Once out of Rave mode, start unloading into the Slasher. THIS IS ALSO TIMED, SO BE QUICK!
Once the slasher has been killed, it will drop a Max Ammo and you'll be able to pick up the picture.
MAKE SURE TO TALK TO KEVIN AFTER PICKING UP THE PICTURE!!
⠀

---

Ritual 2 - Kevin and shooting the Feet

Step 1:
The picture can be found in the upstairs room in Spawn where Tuff' 'Nuff is. It'll be directly to the right when you walk into the room on the floor.
⠀ Step 2:
Once you have the picture, head to the Recreation Area directly in front of the Quickies perk machine. Place the picture down here.
⠀

Step 3:
Once the picture is placed, you'll go into Rave mode and zombies will begin constantly spawning.
You want to shoot their FEET off! And shoot them off quickly as this is a timed step!
After each successful gib of a foot, you'll see a soul go to the picture. Once the last soul has been collected, you'll see all the souls rapidly go into the picture and inspect it which will spawn a Kill-able Slasher and take you out of Rave mode

Note: Using the Balloon Trap or Gas Grenades help alot here!
⠀

Step 4:
The slasher will be invulnerable until Rave mode has completely stopped. Once out of Rave mode, start unloading into the Slasher. THIS IS ALSO TIMED, SO BE QUICK!
Once the slasher has been killed, it will drop a Max Ammo and you'll be able to pick up the picture.
MAKE SURE TO TALK TO KEVIN AFTER PICKING UP THE PICTURE!!
⠀

Ritual 3 - Skull and shooting the heads

Step 1:
The skull can be found in the Power room on the floor to the left of the Magic Wheel. Pick up the skull.
⠀ Step 2:
Once you have the skull, head to the beach in from of the Slappy Taffy machine. Place the skull down and the ritual will start.
⠀

Step 3:
Once the skull is placed, you'll go into Rave mode and zombies will begin constantly spawning.
You want to shoot their HEADS off! And shoot them off quickly as this is a timed step!
After each successful gib of an Head, you'll see a soul go to the skull. Once the last soul has been collected, you'll see all the souls rapidly go into the skull and inspect it which will spawn a Kill-able Slasher and take you out of Rave mode
⠀

Step 4:
The slasher will be invulnerable until Rave mode has completely stopped. Once out of Rave mode, start unloading into the Slasher. THIS IS ALSO TIMED, SO BE QUICK!
Once the slasher has been killed, it will drop a Max Ammo and you'll be able to pick up the skull.
⠀

---

Once you've completed the last ritual and have grabbed the skull, you can head to the power room and you will see Lights in the room that will be interactable. The amount of lights that are interactable is based off how many players you have in the game. Playing solo, only 1 will be active. Playing 4 player co-op will have all 4 lights interactable.

Once you are ready for the boss fight, all players in the game need to hit a light simultaneously. You will hear an alarm and a portal opening if done correctly.

BE AWARE, ONCE YOU HIT THE LIGHTS, YOU WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO PACK A PUNCH. SO MAKE SURE YOU ARE COMPLETELY READY.

Once the lights have been activated, have all players go to the boat that takes you to Turtle Island and you will see Kevin Smith sitting in the boat. All players in the boat will trigger the boss fight intro.

• As with any easter egg in this game, i would recommend getting the Kendall 44 pistol. However, in this map, you do not start with it, so you will have to get it out of the Mystery Wheel.

• I wouldn't really use any Fortune Cards because they are really unnecessary and just a waste. However, Scoped Dollars, Irish Luck, and Nade Party are really good Fate Cards to use.

• For your crossbow, it really comes down to preference. I prefer either the Acid Rain or the Whirlwind EF-5

To keep the guide brief but still descriptive, I'm going to reduce this section to only talking about the different phases.

The boss has 3 main phases plus a damage phase at the end. The boss will loop through these 3 phases 3 times total, with each loop getting progressively more restrictive with blue walls appearing on the Island. However, on the last loop, instead of the last phase you get the damage phase instead.

Below are the phases in detail

---

‎‏‏‎ ‎
The first phase will require you to raise skulls on the island by killing zombies near the skull. The number of skulls on the island scales with the number of players in the game. In solo, it will be 2 skulls, and with 4 players its 4 skulls (This may be wrong, haven't done this easter egg 4 player in a long time).
‎‏‏‎ ‎
Once you've kill enough zombies near a skull, it will light up a very bright light blue. You need to raise all skulls fairly quickly as if a skull is raised for too long without the other skulls being fully raised, it will begin to descend. This will make it to where you have to re-raise that skull. This especially becomes a problem in 4 player co-op since there's many skulls to raise.
‎‏‏‎ ‎
‎‏‏‎ ‎
Finally, once all skulls have risen, a blue symbol will appear somewhere on the island. Lure the Super Slasher into the symbol and he will begin to freak out and a purple symbol will appear on his body. Shoot the symbol and he will begin the next phase.
‎‏‏‎ ‎
‎‏‏‎ ‎

---

The next stage is pretty straightforward. The slasher will continue to follow, but you'll see the purple symbol on his body again. Shoot at it till it breaks and it will spawn another one. Keep doing this until he stops and begins to beat his chest and spawn the 2 saw blades and jump to the roof. Once he's on the roof, he will start the next phase.
‎‏‏‎ ‎
‎‏‏‎ ‎

---

Once the Super Slasher is on the roof, you will see Green circles appear on the island. Quickly get into one of these circles before the firestorm starts! The firestorm will deal a large amount of damage quickly and circles are the only thing that will protect you. ‎‏‏‎ ‎
During this phase while standing in the circle, Skeleton zombies will appear which are a bit more beefy than the normal zombies. Use your crossbow here to easily get rid of them. If you are on the third loop, this phase is skipped and instead the damage phase begins. So you will only get this phase twice.
‎‏‏‎ ‎

---

On the third loop of the fight, after shooting the symbols off the Super Slasher, instead of going to Phase III, you will be put into the damage phase. At this point, just unload into the slasher. I would either recommend the FHR or the Mauler or some other fast firing SMG for this. Once he's sustained enough damage, he will sink into the ground and spawn the soul key.
‎‏‏‎ ‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‎‏‏‎ ‎
‎‏‏‎ ‎
CONGRATS, YOU COMPLETED THE EASTER EGG!

Note: This can only be completed once you have completed the Main Quest Easter Egg.

You can do this either in a new game or directly after you complete the Easter Egg.
Make your way to the power room and to the left of the table where you throw the knives at the zombie on the wheel, there will be the Smiley hanging from a bar. You can grab it for free

Once picked up, be on round 10 or higher and throw a pouch into the fire to go into Rave mode. The slasher will only spawn once you're at least round 10 or higher.

Use the right mouse button (the button you use for ADS if you're on controller) to pull the Smiley up and get the blade spinning and walk into the slasher with it. Be careful because the slasher can do a lot of damage quickly. Eventually, he'll sustain enough damage he disappears and you'll get the achievement "Tables Turned"

Below is a video of me killing the slasher for reference.
‎

This music Easter Egg is actually fairly quick, but you'll need to turn on the power and also collect a pouch to be able to go into Rave mode (Delirium).

Once you have those two things, go into Rave mode at the Spawn (Using the fireplace to the left of the door that leads to the Mess Hall). Now you'll need to find a total of 10 glowing spots around the spawn building.

The spots never change, and you can use multiple rave pouches to get all of them, however, if you're quick enough, you'll be able to do it all in one rave pouch.

Below are the spots:

• Ceiling directly above the Fireplace where you entered rave ‎ ‎
  
• Up the stairs of spawn, directly to the right before you enter through the doorway ‎ ‎
  
• Under the wooden table to the left of the pool table ‎ ‎
  
• Behind the bar that's to the right of the pool table ‎ ‎
  
• Through the door to the balcony to the left of the pool table right above the doorway ‎ ‎
  
• To the left of the door that leads to the Adventure Course, on a roof outside the playable area ‎ ‎
  
• Under the desk where the computer is in spawn ‎ ‎
  
• When you walk into the room where Tuff Nuff is, directly to the left behind some boxes ‎ ‎
  
• To the left of where the boat piece spawns under the shelf in the wardrobe ‎ ‎
  
• To the left of the Tuff Nuff machine between some cabinets. ‎ ‎

After hitting the last symbol, you should see some XP appear on screen and the Achievement will pop, signifying you've completed the Easter Egg. Also when you return to the Lobby, you will now be able to use the song as your Lobby Music!

For reference, since some of these locations are a bit hard to describe, here's a video of my route that I took in my game to get all the symbols in one rave pouch.

Here's my Ghost 'N Skulls 2 Guide!

So I hope this looks better than the wall of text that I had here. Plan on doing this for each map, but for now, here's my new setup for the character codes

Kevin has some pretty interesting dialogue when you complete the easter egg as him.

Hopefully this will be all the information you'll need to succeed and do everything on the map. To be honest, this isn't really my favorite map. However, I wanted to make guides for all the maps, and hopefully I've done this one justice. If I did, let me know in the comments or if you think I didn't tell me what I should add!
