Hi guys,

here is how to activate the Takeo side quest in Kowakujo zombies map, within Call of Duty Black Ops 7.

Before we begin this side quest, we need to have chosen TAKEO as our OPERATOR skin, before we started the game.

We will also have to have a PSYCH GRENADE equipped in our load out, however we can of course craft one at any time at a crafting table or pick it up from fallen zombies.



We also need to have opened up the PACK A  PUNCH area of the map as well.

This is war....psychologically speaking

Once we have TAKEO operator skin equipped and the PSYCH GRENADE, head over to the WAR ROOM area of the map and just before you go up the stairs to where the WORLD SEED is located, there is a SMEA OF BLOOD in the door way leading up to it.




Drop the PSYCH GRENADE here and step into the red mist of it.

Once you do, if you turn around behind you, you will see a hallucination of TAKEO, where when you walk up to him, he will disappear and drop his KITANA SWORD.




Pick this up and you will be teleported into a FOREST as TAKEO, where you must destroy 4 waves of different types of zombies.

The only catch while being here is that you can only destroy them using the KITANA SWORD you brought with you.

The first wave is the beloved HELLHOUNDS, which come charging through the trees with intense energy.




These are quite quick and come in sometimes two's or three's so be careful with these.

Once that wave has been taken out, the second wave will consist of SCORCHED ZOMBIES coming through the trees, as the tree line bursts into flames, also, looking quite spectacular.







The easiest way to take these zombies out with the sword, is to use the HEAVY ATTACK, which is the left trigger attack. This will not only kill them, but also help protect you from the explosive damage they can cause when they die.

The next wave will consist of HEAVY ZOMBIES where they are armoured and a bit chunkier and more stronger than the previous waves.




Simply survive and destroy this wave, where you will then come to the mini boss here who is called TAKESHI. Plot twist, this is actually TAKEO'S BROTHER!







He is like the ONI you fought when opening up the Pack A Punch area of the map, where he has some swing attacks, electricity ground shocks and fireballs rotating around him that when they hit the ground, turn into heavy zombies that will try and help him destroy you.

Simply avoid his most dangerous attack which is the electricity ground shock, as it can sometimes make you go down instantly.




Simply take him out, he is not that difficult, by attacking, then retreating, with a bit of dodging included for good measure.

Once he is dead, you will be teleported back to the main map and to the SHOGUN'S SANCTUM, in front of the WORLD SEED. 

When you get here, depending on which round you do this on, as the higher the round, the higher the rewards will be when you return.






You will be greeted with a RANDOM WEAPON, an AETHER TOOL and a STANDARD KITANA MELEE WEAPON.

The RARITY of these rewards however will increase as mentioned, the higher the round you do this on.

However, the higher the round, the harder the waves of zombies in the forest will be to destroy as well as taking out the mini boss TAKESHI.

Thanks for reading.

Kowakujo Path of Sorrows Kitana Ultra Rare Weapon - Black Ops 7 Zombies

Hi guys,

here is how to get the ULTRA RARE WEAPON called the THE PATH OF SORROWS in  the Kowakujo zombies map, within Call of Duty Black Ops 7.


This is actually quite easy to do, in the sense that everything else has been done before hand, which is completing and defeating the mini boss on this map called ONRYO.

We will have to complete most of the main Easter egg on this map, up to the point were we have solved the 5 PAINTINGS MYSTERY and worked out all of the evidence and who it points to.

Solve the mystery first time around

All we have to do is head over to the MEDITATION ROOM area of the map and solve the 5 PAINTINGS on the wall mystery, where we place pieces of evidence in front of the paintings.

The pieces of evidence relate to the clues we have been picking up on this map from the various places and sources.







Once we have solved the puzzles and clues on the wall, then lit the incense candles in this room, the portal will appear, teleporting us over to the Pack A Punch room at SHOGUN'S SANCTUM. 

You must solve this mystery first time around however, or this will not work.

We will then be prompted to enter the mini boss fight here which is the boss called ONRYO.



Once you have destroyed him, you will then get the mini cut scene with the DRAGON main boss on this map, peeking through the destroyed roof of the SHOGUN'S SANCTUM.


He is probably having a peek to see what his dinner looks like when he fights you in the final battle at the end.

Once the DRAGON flies away, if you do a 180 degree turn in this room, there will be a SWORD sticking into the FLOORBOARDS just behind you in this room.




Pick this up and it will be the ULTRA RARE edition of the KITANA which is called the PATH OF SORROWS.

This sword can also be Pack A Punched another 3 times if on standard zombies mode, or if on CURSED MODE, it can be Pack A Punched up to level 4 which is insane damage.



Thanks for reading guys.
