Step 1: Secure the Keys
Build and upgrade all four elemental staves: Staff of Wind, Staff of Ice, Staff of Lightning, and Staff of Fire. Each staff contains 4 parts, but, before you can build one of these staves you will need to find a black disc that contains a song used to open a stairway below the Excavation Site (Pack-a-Punch location).
The black disc can be found around the Excavation Site in one of the following locations:
After obtaining the black disc head down below the Excavation Site to find a Gramophone to the left of the wooden table, pick it up, and place it on the table to begin playing the song.
You must have the black disc to place the Gramophone down on this wooden table.
Once completed, a stairway will be revealed that leads to the Hall of the Ancients where you can build the four elemental staves, you can now pick up the Gramophone as you will need it to obtain the staff parts.
Staff of Wind
Three of the Wind Staff parts are located in the giant robots (aka The Giants) that walk through the map, one part in each giant. These giants are named:
Thor (who walks past Generators 3 and 2)
Odin (who walks past Generators 4 and 5)
Freya (who walks past Generator 6 and the Church)
To enter one of these giants, you will need to wait for them to walk over the map, and check that one of their feet has yellow lights on the bottom.
Only if the foot has yellow lights under it can you open it by shooting the bottom of the foot, once open you can stand in the giant's footprint to be stepped on and enter into the giant and pick up the Wind staff part.
Non-bullet weapons like the RayGun, RayGun MKII, and the Boomhilda do not work for opening the Giants foot so make sure to only use a bullet weapon when shooting the feet of the Giants.
Repeat this for each giant to obtain the first 3 parts of the Wind Staff. The final part requires you to find a yellow disc (Wind Song) and use the Gramophone to play this song at the Wind Tunnel near Generator 4 to access The Crazy Place.
The yellow disc can be found around Generator 5 in one of the following locations:
After obtaining the yellow disc, head into the Wind Tunnel to the left of Generator 4, and at the bottom, you will find a wooden table on the left where you can place the Gramophone to play the Wind Song and open a yellow portal to The Crazy Place.
Enter the portal and you will find four elemental podiums, Wind (yellow), Ice (blue), Lightning (purple), and Fire (red). Go up to the Wind podium to find and obtain the Wind Crystal.

The location of the three smoking chimneys are:
Once all three smoking chimneys have been redirected towards the Excavation Site a sound should play and you should see a beam of light from the sky going into the Excavation Site.
At this point, you have completed the Wind Staff upgrade steps and can skip to Completing the Upgrade which is the same for all elemental staves.
Ull's Arrow (Ice Upgrade)
Wielding the Staff of Ice, head to The Crazy Place. Above the Ice section will be tiles that contain different symbols, and to the right on the ground level will be a pillar with a tile containing a symbol representing the tile above the ice section you must shoot with the Ice Staff.

Using the bottom row only, the triangles from left to right are numbered 1-7. You must input the following codes by shooting the triangles with the Lightning Staff:
136
357
246
Be sure to wait for the sparks to disappear before entering the next code, if you mess up this step shoot three random triangles on the top row then pick up where you failed on the bottom row. You do not need to start from the beginning.

Use the image below to decipher the code and find the four torches that you need to light:
The torches do not need to be lit in order, however, you must light them quickly after another as they will only stay lit for a short period after shooting them with the Fire Staff, so be sure to locate the torches you need to shoot first and then proceed entering the code.
Once all four torches have been lit, a sound should play and you should see a beam of light from the sky going into the Excavation Site.
At this point, you have completed the Fire Staff upgrade steps and can skip to Completing the Upgrade which is the same for all elemental staves.
Completing the Upgrade
Head beneath the Excavation Site and above the Hall of the Ancients are four circles with a color, your goal is to have all four circles show the color of the staff you are upgrading by flipping four levers in the area, each lever rotating one of the circles.
Once you have all four circles showing the color related to your staff, you can shoot the colored ball that floats beneath the four circles with the staff sending it to The Crazy Place.
Finally, head to The Crazy Place and place the staff on its podium. You must then kill around 20 zombies to power the staff completing the upgrade and allowing you to wield the upgraded version of your staff.
In order to move to the next step, you must of had all 6 115 Generators active at least once after building all elemental staves.
Step 2: Ascend from Darkness
With all four elemental staves built and upgraded, four new pedestals will spawn on the map. You must place each staff in their corresponding pedestal.
The location and corresponding staff of these pedestals are as follows:
Once all elemental staves have been placed in their respective pedestals, a sound will play and all staves will return to the original four pedestals in the Hall of the Ancients.
This step will not complete unless all 115 Generators are active.
Step 3: Rain Fire
Before attempting this step, one player must have acquired the G-Strikes. If you or another player don't yet have G-Strikes below is how to obtain them, otherwise, feel free to skip ahead to the Rain Fire Explanation
Obtaining G-Strikes
Head to Generator 2, on the table near the back entrance, there are stone tablets that you can interact with to pick up.
Once you have picked up a stone tablet, head to the upper floor of the Church. Near the window, there is a basin with water where you will need to place the stone tablet.
Once placed, you need to clean the tablet by getting melee kills. This can be achieved using the knife, upgraded staff, zombie shield, or One-Inch Punch. Once cleaned, pick up the tablet and return to the table at Generator 2 without touching any mud, otherwise, it will dirty the tablet and you will have to dip it in the basin to clean it and try again.
To easily complete this, follow the wooden planks down the staircase and through the middle of the Giants footprint, then make a left when you reach the Excavation Site, and follow the wooden planks to the bunker, once in the bunker you can safely run towards the wooden table in Generator 2.
Once you have reached the wooden table, place the tablet down on the table and you now need to get melee kills once again until you see a glowing G-Strike floating above the wooden table, which you can interact with to claim your G-Strikes.
This only grants G-Strikes for the player that complete their tablet, other players will have to do the same to recieve the same reward. If you trade the G-Strikes for Monkey Bombs in the Mystery Box, the G-Strikes can be re-acquired through the Mystery Box.
Rain Fire Explanation
Head to the Generator 5 area, you will need to throw a G-Strike over a seal outside the map to break it after triggering an alarm from inside a Giant within 10-15 seconds.
When solo, you need to wait for Odin (middle giant) to walk through the map with one of his feet lit up so that you can enter, once inside do not press the red button, but instead wait next to it until you hear a countdown from 10 begin.
At this point, you need to wait until the voice says the number one in the countdown and then press the button, this will auto-eject you from the giant's head giving you the most amount of time possible for you to gather your G-Strike and throw in onto the seal.
In a group, one player can wait by the seal with a G-Strike ready while another player enters ANY giant and presses the red button.
Step 4: Unleash the Horde
You must send the Maxis Drone into the broken seal by activating the drone near the seal. This will release a horde of Panzersoldats that you must kill to complete this step. If you don't yet have the Maxis Drone built below is how to build it, otherwise, you can move to the Next Step.
Building the Maxis Drone
You will need to find three parts to build the Maxis Drone. The first part is the Maxis Brain which is always located on the spawn table:
The second part is the Rotor which is located in one of the following locations:
The final part is the frame which is located in one of the following locations:
Once all parts have been found, build the Maxis Drone on any workbench.
Step 5: Skewer the Winged Beast
While you have a Zombie Blood power-up active, you must shoot down a glowing orange plane identical to the one shot down for the Fire Staff Part. If you need a Zombie Blood, you can spawn a guaranteed Zombie Blood.
Once shot down, while in Zombie Blood, you need to find and kill the zombie pilot of the plane that will be running clockwise around the Excavation Site. To easily find this zombie, run counter-clockwise around the Excavation Site. Once killed, it will drop a Maxis Drone that you must pick up to complete the step.
This entire step must be done while you have a Zombie Blood active, but, does not need to done within the duration of a single Zombie Blood. The zombie pilot looks no different than a regular zombie, so be sure to kill any zombie that is running clock-wise around the Excavation Site.
Spawning a Zombie Blood
Using the Ice Staff, you can spawn a guaranteed Zombie Blood power-up every round by extinguishing the flames on three burning chariots around the Generator 4 and 5 areas.
The locations of these three chariots are as follows:
Once completed, a Zombie Blood will spawn at the top of the Excavation Site to the right of the Pack-a-Punch machine.
You can only do this once per round, and after extinguishing, the chariots will not re-ignite if the next round is a rain round, otherwise they will re-ignite each round.
Step 6: Wield a Fist of Iron
Head to the Hall of the Ancients below the Excavation Site. Using the One Inch Punch, you must melee around 20 Templar Zombies with a light mist around their fists. If you have not yet obtained the One Inch Punch you can learn how to obtain them.
Once completed, a stone tablet power-up will drop that you must pick up, upgrading your fists to Wield a Fist of Iron.
Every player in your game must complete this step to be able to move onto the next step. You can use the upgraded staves melee attack to complete this step as long as you also have the One Inch Punch.
Wielding a One Inch Punch
To obtain the One Inch Punch, you must fill four soul chests located in the footprints of the giants by killing zombies that are within the footprints.
The locations of the four chests are:
Once all chests have been filled, you can claim your reward from the reward chest in Spawn or at Generator 6 to claim your One Inch Punch.
When filling the four chests, if a giant steps on the chest before it has been filled it will reset all soul progress towards that chest, so be sure to fill chests near giants that have recently passed by.
Step 7: Raise Hell
You must now place all four Elemental Staves in their podiums in The Crazy Place. This will spawn a small rift in the sky of The Crazy Place, and you must kill 100 zombies to open this rift to Agartha.
Once completed, your screen will flash and you will receive the achievement Little Lost Girl.
Step 8: Freedom
Finally, with the rift to Agartha open, you must activate the Maxis Drone in the center of The Crazy Place, sending the drone up through the rift and re-uniting Dr. Ludvig Maxis with his daughter Samantha Maxis. All players must now stand on the middle blue circular plate and press interact triggering the ending cutscene and ending the game.
Congratulations! You have beaten the Origins main quest: Little Lost Girl
