How to unlock the Taking Flight achievement in Call of Duty: Black Ops III - Definitive Guide
In order to do this you must build the dragon control module by assembling 3 parts contained within Groph Capsules.
Whilst killing zombies, they will occasionally drop a cylinder, it will either be red, blue or yellow. The colour of the cylinder is dependent on which Groph computer you will use.
Red Computer - Tank Factory area, right in front of the fallen robot.
Blue Computer - In the Dragon command building, the building with S.O.P.H.I.A.
Yellow Computer - In the Supply Depot
When you place the cylinder in the computer it will cause a Groph Capsule to fall from the sky to a location on the map, the location can be found by the bright green light in the sky, similar to the Mystery Box's location.
Run to the capsule and defend it. Zombies will still attack you if you come close to them, but they seem to primarily focus their efforts on the capsule.
When you have defended it long enough, the capsule will kill all the zombies in the area and you can collect the part for the Dragon Control Module.
Note: If you do not protect the Groph Capsule, the zombies will destroy it and it will explode, causing you to find another capsule and repeat that step again. The light of the capsule will change from green, to yellow, to red to indicate its health
Once you have done this, head to the Operations bunker (where you build the shield) and there will be a computer terminal you can install your 3 assembled pieces. Once all 3 are placed in the machine you can now fly on a dragon.
Go back to the dragon command building, or the tank factory and hold to pay the 500 points to ride the dragon. After a few moments the dragon will land, and you can ride it by holding again.
By the time the cinematic ends your trophy should pop.
This might be one of the first trophies you obtain.
In order to ride the dragon, you need to first collect 3 pieces for the Dragon Controller. In order to do that, you must have access to the Dragon Command Room (where the Power switch is) as well as the Supply Depot and Tank Factory (accessible for 1750 points each after turning on the power).
Once the power has been turned on, zombies have a fairly high chance of dropping a Console Node (looks like a test tube/cylinder). You can only have 1 at a time and they usually drop in the same order each time; Red, then Yellow, then Blue, then any colour after that.
The 3 different colours of nodes:
- Blue – Plugs into the console at Dragon Command, located by the dragon platform upstairs.
- Yellow – Plugs into the console at the Supply Depot, located downstairs by the Eyebeam Trap switch.
- Red – Plugs into the console at the Tank Factory, located up the ramp by the dragon platform.
Once you have plugged in any node, a supply drop will fall from the sky into a random location around the map. It will only drop in areas you've opened, so no need to worry if you've only opened 4-5 rooms total. The drop will fire a bright green laser into the sky so it makes locating it really easy.
Make your way to the drop as fast as possible, because zombies will start spawning non-stop and try to destroy it. You must hold them off until the drop is done charging. When it’s done, it will open up and you can grab a piece for the Dragon Controller.
Repeat the drops at other consoles until you get all the parts for the controller. If you mess up and a drop gets destroyed, just kill zombies until another node drops and you can repeat. Once you have the 3 parts head to the underground bunker. There is a rectangular console in the middle where you can place the parts with , which now allows you to use the dragon platforms.
Head to any platform and summon the dragon for 500 points. When it lands, it will stay there forever until someone boards it. After that, you have about 15 seconds to board it as well, then it will take off and fly you to the Hatchery and the trophy will pop soon after.
