Iron Maiden pinball rules and strategy
The Strategy
Complete I-R-O-N M-A-I-D-E-N and trap all three balls in the upper walker to start three-ball Multiball. Complete a five-target bank in ascending order to light Extra Ball or descending order to light Special. Clear the three-target bank quickly for up to 25 seconds of Bonus Time.
The goal
Spell the title while feeding balls into the walker, then use the released three-ball play to finish ordered banks. Build Bonus Time before Multiball when possible because its countdown pauses while multiple balls remain active.
Complete I-R-O-N M-A-I-D-E-N through the I/N lanes, O-D-E targets, and remaining lit letter switches.
Open a walker gate through the upper playfield or the right-side gate, then send a ball into the walker; repeat until all three balls are trapped.
With the title complete and three balls trapped, collect the release for three-ball Multiball.
During Multiball, work an ordered five-target bank and shoot the lower-right Spot IRON / Spot MAIDEN target when Extra Ball is lit.
