    Overview

    This guide will show you how to activate the lightning in back-to-back rounds of Ashes of the damed Easter egg, a step that typically cannot be repeated consecutively. By following these steps, you will make this crucial step significantly easier.

    Step 1: Prepare Tessie and Wonderwaffe Upgrade

    • You will need access to Tessie, the armored truck, and have the Wonderwaffe upgrade.
    • The objective is to shoot three specific lampposts around the Diner area using Tessie and the Wonderwaffe.

    Step 2: Electrify the First Lamppost

    The first lamppost you need to electrify is located across from Tessie, near the Diner.

     

    • Hop into Tessie and aim the Wonderwaffe at the lamppost.
    • You'll notice the lamppost emitting small sparks, indicating it's ready.
    • Shoot the lamppost with the Wonderwaffe to electrify it.

    Step 3: Electrify the Second Lamppost

    Once the first lamppost is electrified, the second one will begin to spark, indicating it's active.

     

    Shoot Sparking Lamppost

    • Locate the second lamppost, which is usually positioned across the area, potentially on a raised section or bridge near another entrance to the Diner.
    • Aim Tessie's Wonderwaffe at this sparking lamppost.
    • Shoot it to electrify the second lamppost.

    Step 4: Electrify the Third Lamppost & Activate Lightning

    After the second lamppost is electrified, the third and final lamppost will start to spark.

     

    Electrify Second Lamppost

    • Find the third lamppost, typically located at one of the main entrances to the Diner.
    • Aim Tessie's Wonderwaffe at this sparking lamppost.
    • Shoot the third lamppost to fully activate the lightning mechanism.Electrify Third Lamppost

    Step 5: Witness the Activated Lightning Strikes

    Upon successfully electrifying all three lampposts, the lightning will begin to strike continuously in the area.

     

    • You will see powerful lightning bolts striking down around the Diner.
    • This confirms that the lightning mechanism is now active and will continue in back-to-back rounds, simplifying the Easter egg step.
