rex infernus wonder weapon Overview and Preparation
The rex infernus wonder weapon quest rewards the Warden’s Blight, a dual-crossbow Wonder Weapon built through several map interactions. The route begins after Pack-a-Punch is activated and uses the Grapple Hook repeatedly, so learning the map’s grapple points early makes the quest much easier.
The quest has three major phases: activate the temporary purple flames, complete the Nixxara Temple beam puzzle, and collect three weapon parts in the forest. After that, return to Draikar’s Sanctuary, solve the symbol puzzle, and craft the weapon in the newly opened room.

| Requirement | Why It Matters | Recommended Timing |
|---|---|---|
| Pack-a-Punch access | Unlocks the Grapple Hook route | Complete before starting the quest |
| Grapple Hook | Reaches flames, crystals, and elevated rooms | Carry one throughout each phase |
| PhD Flopper | Reveals the hidden Nixxara fragment | Obtain before entering the temple puzzle |
| Purple flame | Starts the timed beam sequence | Activate only when ready |
| Open forest route | Provides access to all three parts | Visit after the tree encounter |
Grapple Hook
Unlimited-use mobility tool obtained from activated green flames. It supports the entire Wonder Weapon route.
Purple Flame
A temporary, single-use quest resource. Missing the puzzle or wasting the flame requires another activation cycle.
PhD Flopper
Used near a wall-jump platform in Draikar’s Temple to reveal the hidden crystal fragment.
Tree Gateway
The completed temple encounter creates access to the forest, where the three weapon parts are found.
Do not activate a purple flame until your equipment, Grapple Hook, and temple route are ready. The flame has limited use, and restarting the activation process costs time.
Activate the Purple Flame and Open Nixxara Temple
The first puzzle phase starts near Pack-a-Punch and ends inside Nixxara Temple. The floating pink or purple energy balls are pulled toward the Pack-a-Punch fountain with the Grapple Hook. Once the ball reaches the fountain, interact with the nearby gear to activate the temporary purple flames.
The flames are single-use resources. If both are consumed without completing the puzzle, repeat the floating-ball sequence to create more.
Activate Pack-a-Punch
Complete the map’s Pack-a-Punch opening objective. This unlocks access to the green flames that provide Grapple Hooks.
Collect a Grapple Hook
Take a Grapple Hook from any activated green flame. Check your route before collecting a purple flame so you do not waste the limited resource.
Pull the Floating Energy Ball
Grapple toward the pink or purple ball above the map and pull it close to the Pack-a-Punch fountain.
Turn the Gear
Interact with the gear near Pack-a-Punch after the energy ball begins circling the fountain. This activates the purple flames.
Reveal the Temple Fragment
Take PhD Flopper to the wall-jump platform above the entrance inside Draikar’s Temple. Activate the perk near the wall to reveal the hidden Nixxara fragment.
| Action | Location | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Activate Pack-a-Punch | Pack-a-Punch area | Green flame access becomes available |
| Collect Grapple Hook | Green flames around the map | Enables traversal and crystal movement |
| Pull energy ball | Upper map area | Ball circles the Pack-a-Punch fountain |
| Rotate gear | Beside Pack-a-Punch | Purple flame activation |
| Use PhD Flopper | Draikar’s Temple entrance | Reveals the Nixxara fragment |
Once the fragment is revealed, carry a purple flame to the rear of Nixxara Temple. Look for the eye on the wall and throw the flame at it to begin the timed beam puzzle.
The beam must travel through several crystals and return toward the temple entrance. Use the Grapple Hook to rotate each crystal until the beam follows the correct path. One crystal is missing from the sequence; insert the fragment taken from Draikar’s Temple into the open position.
Set up your position before throwing the flame at the wall eye. The beam sequence is timed, and a failed attempt can consume the temporary flame.
Enter the Forest and Collect Three Parts
When the purple beam reaches the locked door to the left of the temple entrance, the route opens. Drop through the floor and complete the tree encounter inside the hidden room. The tree drains player health during the sequence, so focus on surviving the enemy pressure until the encounter ends.
Afterward, interact with the seed to travel to the forest. The three Warden’s Blight parts can be collected in any order, and all three can be obtained during the same forest visit if the route is managed efficiently.
| Weapon Part | Forest Location | Confirmation |
|---|---|---|
| Part One | Charred body at the back of the forest | Warden dialogue and a short scene |
| Part Two | Log cabin left of the forest spawn | Melee the floorboards until the correct board triggers |
| Part Three | Charred body near the central rock | Warden dialogue and a short scene |
Part One: Back Forest Body
Travel to the back of the forest and search for a charred body on the ground. Interact with the body to trigger the scene. Once the dialogue finishes, collect the first Warden’s Blight component.
Part Two: Log Cabin Floorboard
From the forest spawn, move toward the log cabin on the left. Inspect the floor and melee the floorboards one by one. The correct board triggers a scene, after which the second weapon component becomes available.
Part Three: Central Rock Body
The final component is beside a rock near the middle of the forest. Look for another charred body leaning against the rock. Interact with it, wait for the scene to finish, and collect the last part.
If the forest timer ends before all three parts are collected, the game returns you to the main map. On the next round, return to the tree and interact with the seed to enter the forest again. Only the missing parts need to be collected.
Forest Collection Checklist:
- Search the charred body at the back of the forest
- Melee the log cabin floorboards
- Inspect the charred body near the central rock
- Wait for each scene to finish before collecting the part
- Return through the tree if the forest timer expires
The three forest objectives do not require a fixed order. Choose the route that keeps you moving and complete all available parts during one visit whenever possible.
Solve Draikar’s Sanctuary Puzzle and Craft the Weapon
Return to Draikar’s Temple after collecting the three parts. Go to the back area known as Draikar’s Sanctuary and interact with the blue writing on the wall. The resulting quote provides the information needed to solve the four-symbol puzzle.
Four pillars display icons connected to different parts of the quote. The symbols include the galaxy, moon, star, and runner or asteroid-like icon. Use the levers around the room to point the icons in the directions indicated by the quote.
There are multiple levers in the sanctuary, but the lever on the middle pillar is used to confirm the answer. Do not use it until the four icons have been positioned.
| Puzzle Element | Function | Correct Use |
|---|---|---|
| Blue wall writing | Provides the quote clue | Interact before adjusting symbols |
| Four icons | Represent parts of the quote | Match each direction to the clue |
| Side levers | Rotate the connected icons | Adjust one symbol at a time |
| Middle pillar lever | Confirms the solution | Pull only after checking all icons |
| Secret upper room | Contains the crafting station | Reach it with the Grapple Hook |
Treat the sanctuary quote as the only answer key. Read each clue carefully, match it to the correct icon, and verify every direction before confirming.
If the solution is correct, a bright flash confirms the puzzle and reveals a secret room above the sanctuary. Collect a Grapple Hook, reach the upper room, and use the crafting station to assemble the Warden’s Blight.
If the answer is incorrect, the puzzle cannot be immediately confirmed again. Wait until the next round before attempting another solution. Use that time to prepare ammunition, clear enemies, and reread the quote before returning to the middle pillar lever.
Read the Blue Writing
Interact with the blue text at the back of Draikar’s Sanctuary and note the quote it provides.
Match the Four Icons
Identify the galaxy, moon, star, and runner or asteroid-like symbols connected to the quote.
Rotate the Symbols
Use the surrounding levers to point each icon in the direction required by the clue.
Confirm the Answer
Pull the lever on the middle pillar. A flash indicates a successful solution.
Craft Warden’s Blight
Grapple into the revealed upper room and interact with the crafting station.
Warden’s Blight Use and Quest Rewards
The Warden’s Blight is a dual-crossbow Wonder Weapon. Its design may remind experienced Zombies players of the NX ShadowClaw, but its main value is access to a unique weapon type tied directly to the Rex Infernus quest.
The quest should be treated as a coordinated objective route rather than a race. One player can manage the Grapple Hook and crystal positioning while teammates control the horde. In solo play, leave a manageable enemy alive before beginning timed interactions.
Solo Approach
Keep one enemy alive when possible, prepare the temple route first, and avoid spending purple flames during rushed attempts.
Co-op Approach
Assign one player to puzzles while others defend the objective area and watch for enemies during the tree encounter.
Recovery Plan
If the forest timer ends, return to the tree on the next round. If the sanctuary answer is wrong, retry after the round advances.
| Stage | Main Risk | Reliable Response |
|---|---|---|
| Purple flame setup | Limited use | Prepare the route before activation |
| Crystal puzzle | Timed beam sequence | Rotate crystals quickly and insert the missing fragment |
| Tree encounter | Health drain and enemy pressure | Focus on survival until the sequence ends |
| Forest search | Timer expiration | Follow a planned route and revisit through the seed |
| Sanctuary puzzle | Failed confirmation | Reread the quote and retry next round |
The broader Rex Infernus Main Quest also features the Warden as its central enemy and offers separate completion rewards. The Bloodthorn Wonder Weapon skin is a reward for completing the Main Quest; it is not the same item as the Warden’s Blight weapon crafted through this quest route. See the Rex Infernus Easter Egg main quest overview for the wider objective and reward context.
Craft the Warden’s Blight after your team has stabilized the area. The weapon quest is easier when players treat each interaction as a planned objective instead of improvising under heavy pressure.
