the steps
on the bottom floor of the Hatchery, above the sewage exit, there is a dragon egg. shoot it to knock it down, then pick it up.
tipyou are usually in the Hatchery already for the generator step, so take the egg on the same trip.
put the egg on any nest that sits where a dragon breathes fire. the one in front of the Dragon Command stairs is the one to use, because it is the part of the map you walk through most.
wait for a dragon to set it alight, then let a whole round pass for it to cool. then pick it up.
in this order, not any order:
1. kill napalm zombies, the ones a dragon has breathed on 2. penetration multi-kills 3. melee kills, with the knife, the
Bowie Knifeor the gauntlet swingtipfor the penetration kills, use the MG in the Hatchery. the second source says every kill with it counts as a penetration multi-kill whether or not you line anything up, which turns the worst of the three into the easiest. and this is the moment to start the Dragon Strike lockdown, because the MG is right there and the lockdown is a crowd.
take the egg back to an incubation chamber on the bottom floor of the Hatchery. that starts a lockdown, the same shape as the Groph pod defence.
when it ends, the egg needs another full round to cool before you can pick it up.
then take it to the grave at spawn and the Gauntlet of Siegfried is yours.
