Hi guys,

Here is how to Become the Gnome in Totenreich for Call of Duty Black Ops 7 zombies.

The Gnome transformation is a very strange site to behold but while it looks like a joke at first, it actually provides unique movement and survival advantages when used correctly.

Lets see the steps needed to unlock the transformation and what benefits it will bring us.

All set? Gnome problem, lets go!

This is one of 4 SECRET VIKING HELMETS within this map that we will be going into in later posts. 

Each helmet has its own secret ability which we will eventually delve into, one by one.

Being a Gnome feels out of "scope"

In order to do this Easter egg, it is actually best to have a scoped weapon, such as a sniper rifle in order to see some of these, as some can be off in the distance.

With my eye sight and glasses, I definitely need all the help I can get in finding them.

We then also need to equip the SHADOW RIFT BULLET MOD onto the weapon from the ARSENAL MACHINE, as it seems these are the only types of bullets that register the hits on the FROZEN GNOME'S.

Now with our scoped weapon and shadow rift bullet mod, head over to the following 4 locations where we will need to shoot FROZEN GNOME STATUE in each area:

GNOME LOCATION 1 - MACHINE WORKSHOP 

For this GNOME. you will have to have progressed until you have unlocked the WONDER BARRAGE CONTROLLER STREAK.

Once you have this, you will want to head over and open up the MACHINE WORKSHOP area of the map.

This is the area just beside where the DRY DOCK is located. If coming into this area, you will notice there is a STAIRCASE that runs up the side of the MACHINE WORKSHOP, up to the first floor.

Take these stairs up to the catwalk upstairs within it and if you look between the railings of the CATWALK and the small ROOM / OFFICE down below, there is a GNOME sitting at an awkward angle in here.

Simply zoom in on him and shoot him once and you will see a waft of PURPLE SMOKE emit from it, letting you know you have done this correctly.

This will teleport each GNOME you shoot, over to the antique shop and you can then claim the Kneehigh Helm reward, once all 4 have been activated.

GNOME LOCATION 2 - TYR'S FOOT

The next GNOME location is where the CORE FOUNDRY area leads into TYR'S FOOT area. 

It is where the robotic foot can be seen and there is an antenna with 3 cables branching out from it towards these CONCRETE SUBSTATIONS it looks like, with a fan or spotlight on top of them.

Look for the wire that leads to the concrete building in the middle of the other 2. 

Just to the right hand side of the LIGHT / FAN on top of this concrete structure in the middles, you can just about see the GNOME staring back at you.

This GNOME is slightly different to the previous one as it has a bit of ARMOUR attached to it, meaning it will need to be shot 2 or 3 times with successful hits, in order to destroy it and return it to the antique shop location.

You will see the ARMOUR ICON appear as you shoot it, but when its armour has totally gone and it is vulnerable, it will then give off the puff of PURPLE SMOKE to let you know it has been destroyed successfully.

GNOME LOCATION 3 - EIDSKALLEN STAVE CHURCH

If you are in TYR'S SHOULDER area, head over to SKALLEN MARKET area, which then leads on to the EIDSKALLEN STAVE CHURCH.

Head inside the church and look for the LARGE ZOMBIE SPAWN WINDOW which is located to the right hand side of the CRAFTING TABLE. 

Look the large opening and where the LARGE PAINTING is hanging in the central column, the GNOME is located at the bottom right hand corner of the large painting, on the stone shelf.

This is definitely one of the most easiest of all the GNOME'S to find and is probably overkill using a sniper scope to spot him, as he is only a few metres away from the zombie spawn opening.

Shoot it and we can move onto the last location.

GNOME LOCATION 4 - BEACON ISLAND

The last location we will find the GNOME figure hiding in, is in the BEACON ISLAND area, just behind the LIGHTHOUSE....well on the lighthouse, but slightly underneath it.....but on top of it.....easy to understand....right?

Basically head over to the area behind the LIGHTHOUSE where you will see there is a FLAK CANNON looking outward toward the sea.

Turn and face the front of the LIGHTHOUSE and look up to where the CATWALK is up at the very top of it.

In the middle area of this CATWALK, you will notice the face of the GNOME staring back at you.

This GNOME will be armoured as well, just like the previous one we had come into contact with, so will take a couple of well placed shots to destroy him.

Once destroyed, you will see the usual puff of PURPLE SMOKE and that will be all 4 GNOMES successfully teleported back to the ANTIQUE SHOP.

I was Knee High when I became a Gnome

Now, if you head over to the LOVEN'S ANTIQUITIES building and area of the map, go into the antique shop and where there is a BROKEN DISPLAY CASE, you will notice a VIKING HELMET on top of it, along with 4 GNOME's giving the peace sign.

These GNOME'S are all different colours.

Simply interact with the VIKING HELMET on the display case and you will pick up the KNEE HIGH HELM reward.

Going into 3rd person mode and checking out your characters model, you will notice he is in fact, wearing the helmet.

Now with the helmet equipped, if you press the CROUCH BUTTON on the controller, you will now turn into a GNOME.

For the 30 seconds you are in the GNOME, you are invincible and cannot be killed.

You can also kill zombies non stop during this time period, by jump and causing PHD FLOPPER like purple shock wave explosions.

Kills will show up as GNOME FORM KILL'S during this time.

This is a great strategy and tactic to use on high zombie rounds as it grants you 30 seconds to be basically un-killable and do whatever damage you want to any zombies.

When the 30 seconds runs out, after using the GNOME ability, you can reactivate it again, by going to the BLODHEIM HALL and finding it on a TABLE inside this hall.

Of course, it is not free to use this helmet every time and to activate it again will be to the tune of 6000 credits.....but is so worth it!

Thanks for reading as always guys.

Random Powerups Each Round in Totenreich - Call of Duty Black Ops 7 Zombies

Secrets: Turning on Power / Pack A Punch -- Secret Song -- Jotunn Star Wonder weapon -- Secret Rooms -- Singing T.E.D.D. Fish / Brain Rot army -- Random Powerups Each Round -- Kneehigh Helmet -- Olaf Helmet -- Cointoss Helmet -- Icebane Helmet -- Richtofen Easter Egg -- Richtofen Jumpscare -- Free Wonderweapons -- All Free Powerup Locations --

Hi guys,

Here is a cool hidden Easter egg in Totenreich that rewards players with FREE random power-ups almost every single round.

It is easy to do, but is not very well advertised how to do it, which is where I step in to help you out.

Basically it involves reading a COORDINATE off a computer in TYR's HEAD, then after that coordinate is given, there will be another random number following on from it.

The coordinate means, go to this grid location on the TACTICAL MAP, then the number displayed after it E.g. 74 or 15, means you need to kill this many enemies in this grid square.

Simple right?

The rewards at the end of each round can be in the form of:

• Max Ammo
• Insta-Kill
• Double Points
• Nuke
• Bonus Points
• Fire Sale

If you complete the coordinate challenge correctly before the round ends, you’ll instantly earn a free power-up.

Let's see the exact steps to achieve these free rewards.....these are not to be confused with the normal hidden free powerups that have been in every Black Ops zombies map recently.

Use your head man!

Before starting this challenge, you’ll first need access to the Tyr’s Head area of the map.

If you have opened up Pack A Punch and Turned the power on, you will have already got to this point.

Once inside Tyr's Head, look toward the middle of the room, there is a central console.

You’ll notice a glowing computer terminal sitting in the centre area.

This computer is the key to the free power-up system, interact with this computer to kick off this side Easter egg.

Once you do, the computer system will start to cycle through a map coordinate, followed by a number value.

For example, you may see something like:

• B4 – 15
• C2 – 22
• D5 – 74

The coordinate tells you WHERE to go and to find this out, simply open up your TAC MAP and search until you find the square on the map that matches the supplied coordinate value.

You need to head to this location.

The number after the coordinate, tells you HOW MANY zombies you must kill there at that location.

So for example B4, we go to square B4 on the map and kill 15 zombies.

This challenge resets every round, meaning you can continuously earn free rewards throughout the game.

The tricky part is making sure you stay INSIDE the correct zone while getting kills, as in higher rounds, it can be a bit hectic and when training zombies, you may stray off into another map grid coordinate by accident.

My GPS told me to come here

Now head to the coordinate shown on the terminal.

Once inside the correct grid coordinate square:

• remain there in the area throughout the Easter egg
• train zombies into the zone
• begin counting kills carefully

This is where most players fail the challenge, by killing too many zombies or too little.

Count out the kills one by one to help keep track of what is going on.

If the terminal says 15 for the kill count at that coordinate, then make sure it is exactly 15 in that area.

If you accidentally kill:

• too many zombies
• zombies outside the area
• or leave the zone mid-count

…the challenge fails and you’ll need to wait until next round.

You will know you have successfully done the challenge, if you hear a strange sound and you look over towards TYR'S HEAD in the map.

You will notice his 2 EYES will now be GLOWING GREEN, indicating that the powerup reward is ready for collection in the head.

Go into the head and up onto the raised platform, above the cordinate computer control panel and collect the reward.

Rinse and Repeat Every Round

The best part about this hidden system is that it refreshes every single round.

At the start of a new round:

• Return to Tyr’s Head
• Check the computer again
• Get a new coordinate and zombie number
• Complete the challenge
• Go to Tyr's head and collect the powerup reward
• Earn another free power-up

Some top tips:

• Don’t Use Traps. Environmental traps or random zombie deaths can interfere with your kill count.

• Keep things controlled and simple by not using hand grenades or explosive weapons as you may inadvertently kill other zombies and not realise, by the explosive blast damage. This can make counting exact kills difficult.

Thanks for reading as always guys.
