Led Zeppelin pinball rules and strategy

The Strategy

Led Zeppelin runs Song shot patterns throughout the ball; Tours and Zeppelin Multiball are separate scoring routes. Shoot the green-lit left eject, choose a Tour, complete its shown objectives, then return for Tour Multiball. Shoot the left ramp three times for the first Zeppelin Multiball; finish a combo at each target bank, then hit the lit Icarus target for 15-second playfield X.

The goal

Use the green left eject for a Tour, the left ramp for Zeppelin Multiball, and the four target banks for Icarus X.

  1. How to start a mode

    Shoot the green left eject and select Earl's Court.

    Recommended mode: Earl's Court

    Choose it because its first objective is normally a direct spinner total.

    How to play it

    Make 70 spinner spins for the default first objective, then return to the left eject to start Earl's Court Tour Multiball.

  2. Start Zeppelin Multiball

    Shoot the left ramp for three locks. The third lock starts Zeppelin Multiball. Later attempts require R-O-C-K to light the locks.

  3. Start Icarus X

    Finish a bank-ending combo at each of the four target banks, then hit Icarus to start the 15-second playfield multiplier.

Alternative route: Earl's Court Tour Multiball

Use this when the left eject and center spinner are controlled.

  1. Complete Earl's Court's displayed Completing it stores one Tour lock. Complete all current objectives to light Tour Multiball at the left eject., then return to the green left eject to start its Tour Multiball.

Machine setup

  • Tour requirements, locks, Extra Ball, ball save, and Icarus behavior can change with operator settings.
  • Check Competition Install; it changes Icarus building, Record Sales during active features, and Icarus interaction with song modes in multiball.
  • Test both ejects, three ramps, upper side shot, Icarus, target banks, left outlane, tilt sensitivity, and flipper strength.
