How to unlock the Wield a Fist of Iron achievement in Call of Duty: Black Ops III - Definitive Guide

The Gauntlet of Siegfried is the 'Specialist Weapon' of Gorod Krovi similar to the sword on Shadows of Evil and the Ragnarok DG-4 on Der Eisendrache.

To get the Gauntlet of Siegfried you must complete the bottom trial that is shown on your trials board in-game.

Step 1: Obtain the Dragon Egg
To obtain the dragon egg you must first ride the dragon over to the Hatchery/Lockdown area. If you do not know how to do this then please see the guide to getting the network circuits and riding the dragon. Once in the lockdown area you do not need to actually commence the lockdown (And I'd personally recommend you don't if you are just going for this achievement as it is very tedious). From the Pack-a-Punch machine, head down the stairs to the hatchery and towards the well that leads out of the hatchery area. Before you leave the hatchery, look right above the well and you should see the egg. Shoot it with anything other than a ray gun and it should roll down. Just pick it up and head out of the hatchery.

Step 2: Bathe the Dragon Egg in Fire
To complete this step you must take your newly acquired egg and place it in a nesting area where the dragon breathes fire. There are 4 nesting areas correlating with the areas that the dragon will breathe fire on. The nest are fairly distinguishable that look like generic nests. You should get a prompt to hold X and place your egg in the nest. Once the dragon breathes fire on the egg you must wait around 2 rounds to pick it up while it cools. Just go to your favorite training area and wait until the egg is ready.

Step 3: Kill Napalm Zombies
Napalm zombies are zombies that have been exposed to the dragon's fire. To have the napalm zombies "form" just run around one of the areas that the dragon visits and let the dragon breathe fire on them. It should take around 10-15 napalm zombies to progress this step. You can check your progress on the next 3 steps at any time by holding the back button and seeing how far around the egg the yellow line is.

Step 4: Get Penetration Multi Kills
These are pretty self-explanatory. Just group up a bunch of zombies and shoot them with a high damage weapon i.e. The Drakon, The Locus, the SVG-100 to kill multiple zombies with one shot. Insta-kill also works for this if you do not want to spin the box to get a sniper rifle.

Step 5: Melee Kill Zombies
Also pretty self-explanatory. You will probably be at a decently high round (Around 13-16) when you reach this step so I would recommend buying the Bowie Knife off of the wall in the power room to make your life easier. It takes around 15 melee kills to complete this step.
*You can also use the shield blast RT move to get this step done much much easier. Credit goes to xCANExINSANEx93 for this tip.*

Step 6: Incubate the Dragon Egg
Once you've finished these 3 mini steps head back to the hatchery area to incubate your egg. Place your egg in the large machine as soon as you enter the hatchery to begin your incubation. There will be loads of zombies spawning in a pretty close range area, as you can't leave the bottom floor of the hatchery, so Pack-a-Punching your weapons and having a shield and perks is almost a necessity.

After around 30 seconds of incubating you will be done and must wait for the egg to cool down again so head back upstairs and survive another 2-3 rounds. Once thats finished grab your egg and head back to the trials board in the spawn. You can now claim your Gauntlet of Siegfried and the achievement will unlock.

If you would like video of the achievement, PowerPyx has a great video detailing the steps. All credit goes to him.

Super useful tip: On the step where you need melee kills, you can use the shields fire blast move (RT) and it counts. Much easier than trying to knife a zombie 15 times or so

Steps 3-5 are retroactive so once you finish Step 2 you may have progress towards those steps, I was getting penetration multi kills and napalm zombie kills and once the egg cooled down I was already to step 5.

This guide is for the trophy Wield a Fist of Iron, which requires you to complete the side quest that rewards you with the Gauntlet of Siegfried.

NOTE: At any point you can see your progress with this quest by going to the grave marker in the spawn area. It is the bottom most trial

Your first step is to fly to the Pack-a-Punch area. If you've never done this before, or cannot remember how, the trophy guide for Taking Flight will explain how.
Call of Duty: Black Ops IIITaking FlightThe Taking Flight trophy in Call of Duty: Black Ops III worth 24 pointsIn Gorod Krovi, ride a Dragon.


Once you've arrived, go to the basement of the building. Just above the cage that leads to the sewers, on the ledge of an upper floor, is a dragon egg. Shoot the egg with a bullet or two and it will come crashing down to the right of the sewer entrance.
Pick up this egg.

Leave the sewers and find a dragons nest. They are located in many parts of the maps, and specifically in areas that the dragon breaths fire on. I personally use the nest directly in front of the Dragon Command building.
Once it is in the nest, wait for the dragon to light the area up with fire.
After the dragon has left, the egg will need to cool down. Simply kill through another round or two and you will be able to pick it up.

You must now complete 3 trials for the next stage of the egg in this order:
- Kill Napalm Zombies
Easily achieved by letting the dragon set them on fire and then killing a train of them
- Penetrating MultiKills
I lined my train up, and using a PaP'd weapon I shot them in the head, which caused penetrating multikills
- Melee Kills
I purchased the Bowie Knife on the wall where you call the dragon in the Dragon Command building

Once this is completed you must now incubate the egg a second time. Return to the Pack-a-Punch location and go to the basement. There will be large test tube like objects and you will be prompted to place the egg inside it with cn_S when you walk close to it.
This will begin a lockdown type sequence similar to the Groph Capsules used to ride the dragon. You will not be able to leave the area and must kill the spawning zombies before they destroy the dragon egg.

Once the incubation period is over, you must wait for the egg to cool again. Just go through another round or two and you will be notified that the cooldown period is complete.
Grab the egg and leave the area.

Take the egg to the grave marker in the spawn area, and hold down cn_S to claim your reward. The gauntlet will come up from the ground, and when you pick it up you will be rewarded with your trophy.

The gauntlet is the special weapon of the map, activated with + . It's a dragon that launches fire and you can also let it fly around while you melee zombies.

To get the gauntlet, you need to first obtain the Dragon Egg, located in the Hatchery. See Taking Flight for how to get to the Hatchery. Once inside, head to the basement and the exit leading to the sewer. Right above the exit is the Dragon Egg. Simply shoot it with any gun and it will fall down so you can pick it up.

Once you get the egg, you will have to complete a series of trials to hatch it, luckily the order is always the same. First you must plant it at any nest around the map, I recommend the spawn. Now you must let the dragon breathe fire on it and once that's done, you must let it cool for 2 rounds before picking it up. You can also use a Dragon Strike on the egg and it will heat up as well (thanks diagnonsense for the tip)!

Next, you need to get napalm zombie kills (let the dragon breathe fire on them). The exact number seems to be around 15-20. You can press the to see if you’ve completed it (It will be 3/5ths full) or check the trials on the tombstones at the spawn.

After the napalm kills, you need to get multi-penetrating kills. It seems to be about 10 double/triple kills. Best way is to use either a Sniper or the Ray Gun Mk 3,or obtain an Instakill powerup. Once it's done, check the or tombstones at spawn to see if it’s done (egg will be 4/5ths done).

Finally you need to get melee kills on zombies, about 5 total. Really easy challenge. Simply equip a Zombie Shield and just melee a bunch of zombies with , it's a 1-hit kill.

After powering up the egg fully, you need to head back to the Hatchery and place it in the empty incubator in the basement. Now you’ll be locked in the basement and have to fight a few waves of zombies until it’s done.

Once it's done, you need to wait another full round for it to cool down, then you can pick it up. Now head to the spawn and go to the trial tombstones and hold on the bottom icon. The prize will raise from the ground and give you the trophy soon afterwards.

1. Doing everything for the Taking Flight trophy / On the wings of victory
2. in the incubator, before exiting through the sewer, turn around and there should be an egg on top of the spawn.
3. shoot at him
4. Take the egg and carry it to any other nest - where the dragon is burning
5. We put it in the nest and it is necessary for the dragon to set the area on fire.
6. wait for the wave to cool down and take it
7. here we need to finish the challenge on the gravestone, the one at the bottom - instead of “get an egg” three more will appear. Usually:
- kill fire zombies (the dragon sets the room on fire)
- penetrating multi-kills - you need to kill with one bullet at a time. To do this, we use powerful weapons such as snipes or pumped-up machine guns and berserkers. The black hole doesn't work - only if you shoot at (in Russian translation it sounds like murders through a barrier)
- melee - the easiest way is to use a shield
8. We carry it to the incubator, in the basement we put it in a capsule
9. We protect it and wait until it cools down - we take it away
10. go to the tombstone with challenges and pick up the glove

maybe I missed something - here is a visual video https://youtu.be/4n7ns1oao3w

A small addition to the “Multiply kill enemies through an obstacle” challenge. The role of an obstacle here is played by the body of a zombie, through which you need to kill 2-3 opponents with one bullet. The challenge can be combined with the Not One Inch trophy. On the second floor of the house where the Improver is located, there will be a machine gun (1000 points). When the window opens, stand behind it and turn the barrel to the right a little. Open fire, zombies will be in the line of fire and the yellow bar on the dragon egg will quickly fill up. This is the simplest method for this test.
