Hi guys,

here is the PURPLE CIST Easter egg guide for the Call of Duty map Paradox Junction, in Black Ops 7 zombies!

Basically, we need to find several random items on the map and then sacrifice them as such, to a PURPLE CIST located on the map. Why it doesn't eat regular food is beyond me, it seems to like being fed random household and everyday objects......different set of taste buds compared to us I guess.

Let's find out how to go about this PURPLE CIST Easter egg and what rewards can be yielded from it.

Pre-requisites

There are 2 prerequisites before we start this, we will of course, need the BLUNDERGAT WONDER WEAPON....which I have an easy to follow guide right here for you:

Building the Blundergat Guide

Once you have this crafted, you will also have needed to activate and complete the RC-XD step where you use the remote control car to blow open the garage door to the house in the TRINITY AVENUE area of the map. 

This step is part of the main Easter egg guide and can be found out, how to do this, here:

Easter Egg Guide Part 1 for RC-XD steps

Now we can begin.

Bits and Bobs all over the place!

Now we need to go around the map and find 7 items that we will be sacrificing or giving to a PURPLE CIST, that will spawn into the map, in the GREEN HOUSE'S BACKYARD area.

Let's find the locations of these 7 items and feed them to the purple cist to keep it happy...there are 3 parts in DESTROYED NUKETOWN and 4 parts in PAST NUKETOWN.

1. Mannequin Head - Garage in Trinity Avenue - Destroyed Nuketown

This house is the one we used the RC-XD to blow up the GARAGE DOOR with so we could obtain the WHITE CHALK from this garage area. 




There is a HEAD sitting on a small table in the GARAGE which we can interact with and pick up here, just against the back wall.

 2. Pile of Guts - Under a Truck in Trinity Avenue - Destroyed Nuketown

There is a DESTROYED TRUCK just in front and to the right of the PACK A PUNCH machine , with an object that can be seen laying under it.



It looks like a pile of guts, which when you pick it up....please wash your hands afterwards.

3. Bone - Green House Backyard Area - Destroyed Nuketown

If we head to the Green House Backyard area, we will find that in the separate section at the very back of the garden, there is an area where there is soil and a pile of dirt.


If you look on top of the pile of dirt against the fence, you will notice there is a BONE sitting on top of the dirt.

4. Car Battery - Inside back of the Truck in Cul-de-sac - Past Nuketown

In the centre of the CUL-DE-SAC area, there are several trucks and vehicles. In the back of the truck with the WHITE TRAILER on the back, where the BLUNDERGAT buildable bench would be, there is a CAR BATTERY sitting on the floor of the trailer.





5. Bucket - In the Yellow House Garage - Past Nuketown

In the Yellow House, in the garage, there is a BUCKET just behind one of the doors, that leads out to the Yellow House Backyard area of the Garage.





6. Dog Collar - In a Garden in Trinity Avenue area  - Past Nuketown

The house that we blew the garage door off in TRINITY AVENUE using the RC-XD, just outside in a flower bed, there is a DOG COLLAR among some of the flowers.




If facing the house head on, this is the flowerbed to the left hand side of the garage door, which is quite small.

7. Chunk of Meat - In the Green House's Kitchen  - Past Nuketown

There is a CHUNK OF MEAT sitting on top of the counter, to the right of the cooker, in the kitchen area.





There is a MANNEQUIN standing in front of it as if they were preparing the meat for their dinner.

Now we have all of these 7 items, we simply need to feed it to the PURPLE CIST.

Okay Mister Purple Cist, here is your 7 course meal

No we need to head back to the DESTROYED NUKETOWN and go to the BACKYARD area of the GREEN HOUSE.

Go up to the PURPLE CIST on the fence and interact with it a total of 7 times.

Each time you interact with it, you will notice that the items you have collected, will be placed on the fallen planks that are laying on the ground in front of it.




Once all items are placed on these planks of wood, interact with the CIST one more time and it will begin eating the items, one by one.



Once all of the items are eaten, it will now make the PURPLE CIST turn into a SOUL BOX mechanic.

We now need to fill this SOUL BOX up with about 20-30 zombie souls in order to satisfy it.


Once it is satisfied, if you have put all 7 items down and sacrificed them to the PURPLE CIST, this will spawn in 4 HVT MINI BOSSES at the same time, through 4 BLUE ORBS that will shoot out of the cist, once its thirst for souls has been quenched.





Be very careful here as the 4 mini bosses that spawn in if we have offered up 7 items to the purple cist, which are:

  • HVT RADHOUND
  • HVT MIMIC
  • HVT ARMOURED ZOMBIE
  • HVT DOPPELGHAST
These have quite a bit of health each one so make sure you have at least a pack a punched weapon at level 2 or 3 even to make this step much much easier on yourself.

All you have to do is destroy the 4 bosses. Once the 4th boss is destroyed, you will then be rewarded with guaranteed rewards in the form of:
  • Random Perk Can
  • 2000 Salvage
  • Flawless Aetherium Crystal



This is the best reward you can get from this situation, because you offered up 7 items in total to the PURPLE CIST, however, if you only want to fight 1 boss for example or 2, we can tailor it to make it easier on ourselves, while still collecting lesser rewards.

People get confused thinking different combinations of items offered to the PURPLE CIST, produce different outcomes in terms of the bosses that spawn, the rewards they are given, but it is actually much simpler than that.

It is actually down to scaling and the amount of items offered, not specific recipes of items.



Thanks for reading as always.

Paradox Junction Secret Briefcase Easter Egg - Black Ops 7 Zombies


Secrets: Pack A Punch -- Building the Blundergat -- Building the Sundergat -- Free PAP Crystal, Aether Tool & More -- Free Insta-kill, Bonus Points, Max Armour -- Free Random Perk (Mannequins) -- Bunker Present -- Creepy Mannequin -- Masked Mannequin -- Jump Scare -- Musical Easter Egg -- Secret Briefcase -- Purple Cist --

Easter Egg Guide: Part 1 -- Part 2 -- Part 3 --

Map Layout: All Areas

Hi guys,

In the Paradox Junction zombies map, within Black Ops 7, there is a SECRET BRIEFCASE that we can open with this version of Nuketown. We will need to first find a LOST KEY....meaning it is not lost anymore but will become the....FOUND KEY....I guess?

In order to open the briefcase, we first need to acquire the DEATH PERCEPTION PERK. Once acquired, head over to the PAST version of NUKETOWN and we can begin our search for this LOST KEY.

We will be looking for a hidden KEY that will be hidden in 1 of 14 FLOWER POT locations that we know of, around the map.

We then will find the key in one location, shoot it, then search for it in another location....we will continue this sequence until we have found it in a 5th location in total.

Let's see how we do this and get some nice rewards in the form of free salvage and essence that has been hidden away for a rainy day.

Green House Backyard Hanging Basket Locations

3 of the HANGING FLOWER BASKETS are under the back steps that lead up to the GREEN HOUSE upper floor and bedroom.




Also in the GREEN HOUSE BACKYARD area, there is one HANGING BASKET in the garden beside the white fence.




Inside the Green House location
In the upper floor of the GREEN HOUSE there is a small desk in the room I would call a STUDY, just before the main bedroom.




In the corner there is a small desk that sits out from the wall and on it there is another FLOWER BASKET LOCATION, however as this one is sitting on the desk, I don't think it qualifies as a hanging basket just yet.

CUL-DE-SAC Car Port
Just in the middle of the Cul-De-Sac area where the car is parked outside the house, there is a CAR PORT overhead and there are 3 hanging baskets at this location.





One is on the left hand side and two are on the right hand side of the car port style roof.

Another location is just beside the GOBBLEGUM MACHINE in this area, to the left of the GREEN HOUSE GARAGE, on the other side of the white fence.




Yellow House Locations - Front Entrance
At the front door entrance, to the right hand side, there is a hanging basket attached to the wooden façade of the house.



There is also on the stairs in the BACKYARD of the yellow house, 3 hanging baskets underneath the back decking stairs, where all 3 are in a row.




TRINITY AVENUE location - Right hand side of the street
As soon as you have cleared the TRUCK using the TRUCK KEY to gain access to TRINITY AVENUE, there is a single hanging basket on the first house on the right hand side of the street.



Now we know all 14 locations of the flower pots, let's move onto the next step.

5th times a charm!
Using DEATH PERCEPTION, we now needs to look at all these hanging baskets / flower pots, until we see an orange outline of a LOST KEY glowing inside it.

When you find this orange outline, you need to shoot the pot that the LOST KEY is glowing in.

Once you do this however, the key will not automatically fall out of the pot, it will move to another.

We need to rinse and repeat this step a total of 5 times, until we find the fifth and final pot location he key has moved to.

So as a quick overview:
  • Find pot 1 location, shoot it and start to search other pots for location 2
  • Find pot 2 location, shoot it and start to search other pots for location 3
  • Find pot 3 location, shoot it and start to search other pots for location 4
  • Find pot 4 location, shoot it and start to search other pots for location 5
  • Find pot 5 location, shoot it and pickup the LOST KEY

When we shoot this 5th pot, the key will fall out and it will allow us to pick it up.





You will now only have a certain amount of time to take that key up to the BEDROOM area of the upper floor of the GREEN HOUSE. If you do not make it to the SUITCASE in time, don't worry, you can reset this step by simply teleporting back to the DESTROYED NUKETOWN and then teleporting back to the PAST NUKETOWN.

Once you do, interact with the suitcase, it will open up a small treasure chest of goodies in the form of:

  • 500 Essence
  • 300 Salvage

Its a small win but its very easy thing to do for some extra cash!

You will be running around the map also past these hanging baskets many times, why not get rewarded for all that exercise?

Thanks for reading as always.
