Hey guys,

here is the various ways in which we can obtain the Chrysalax wonder weapon on the Call Of Duty Cold War Zombies map Forsaken.  Here are the ways in which we can obtain the wonder weapon so take a look and see which one you fancy trying, or if you want to increase your chances of success, you could be working on more than one at a time.

For instance gambling all your money on the mystery box like your at the tables in Vegas may not be a good idea after the 10th or 11th purchase as you will have spent enough money to put a deposit on a small house....are you nuts? So it is good to know there are other methods to obtain this amazing wonder weapon without affecting you opening other doors or areas as you may be a bit skint.....we all know that feeling opening the wallet to open a door.....turn wallet upside down.....nothing in it but fresh air.....lets try to avoid that picture this time.

In order to complete the steps that are associated with these crystals, you will indeedy need the Chrysalax wonder weapon. 


This can be obtained in several different ways which are:

  • Mystery Box - Try you luck, take a gamble...it could pay off. Hit it multiple times and you never know. You have to be in it to win it!
  • Trials Computer in the form of a Legendary Reward - complete challenges and do not claim the reward until it reaches legendary status. One of the easiest and cheapest ways to get the Chrysalax as its a very common legendary reward on this map. The Trials Machine is located in the Observation Tower.




  • Building the Chrysalax from scratch

  • Playing and winning the Der Eisendrache Arcade Machine in the Arcade area



Lets go through each method, starting with ye old favourite, build me that freaking thing!


Lets build this! Who needs instructions?....Umm where does this screw go again?

Lets try building the Chrysalax....shall we? First up, just like in the Easter Egg, we want to get to the point where we lift the lockdown on this map and activate the Pack A Punch machine. To do this, simply make you way to the Observation Tower and press the button in the central command console in the tower. This will then lift the lockdown and activate Pack A Punch machine.




Before leaving the Observation Tower, there is another button near the window in the opposite room, where the lift lockdown button is situated. When you press this, it will trigger a small cut scene you will need to watch.

When it is over, you will respawn back into the map again. You then want to get 2 rounds ahead of where you currently ended the round on that cut scene. So for example if it was on round 10, end that round, then round 11 and then round 12 is the round we want to be on.



Now we need to head over the Main Street area to where Jim's Donut shop is located, just beside the rope you rappelled down from the Checkpoint area when making your way through this level to the Observation Tower.

When you hear the PA system mentioning that an all hell has broken lose and an "Unidentified anomaly exiting dimensional breach", then you know you are on the correct round for sure. Looking up to the breach in the sky, you will see an orange kind of comet blazing trail come down from it and smash into the roof of poor Jim's Donut shop. 






With the amount of damage, dust and destruction....he won't be serving any donuts in the morning when he comes into work.....unless he wants bits of rubble and shrapnel in them.

Head into the Donut shop and behind the counter you will see a glowing ORANGE CRYSTAL. Simply walk up to it and stand over it, or warm it up by sitting on it like an egg, and get ready to defend against a barrage of assorted zombies from all walks of life.....sorry I mean death.....or undeath? Not sure the correct term here....help me out.




You will come across Mimics, Plague Hounds, Tempests etc in about 2 or 3 short waves, mixed in along with normal zombies, just for the fun of it. You need to kill all these zombies while standing over the crystal inside the very small sphere of orange emitting from it. 



Once these mini waves end, you should see that you can pick up the crystal which is now called the POLYMORPIC CRYSTAL CORE. Now we need to find 2 more of these glowing beauties.

Next up, we need to get the second crystal from something that keeps tormenting us all the way through Cold War Zombies maps.....yip you got it....a TORMENTOR ZOMBIE




The easiest way to make sure you get the crystal almost every time from a TORMENTOR ZOMBIE is to go to a craft table and build yourself a nice flamethrower to help keep warm the zombies on those cold winter nights. This will set you back a whoppingly small amount of 100 credits to build this fire breathing dragon device and is located in the crafting table under the SUPPORT tab.

Now we need to wait for a TORMENTOR ZOMBIE to spawn into the map, so we can light him up with this deadly piece of central heating. When you see the zombie, activate the flame thrower and light him up until he falls into the ground into a puff of smoke. 








This flame thrower incinerating him will leave behind a TEMPERED CRYSTAL HEART. You may have broken its body, at least you didn't break its heart. This means you can now pick it up and we can move onto the final crystal we are looking for.

Last up we need to get an ABOMINATION to spawn in, either from going to the Amplifier area and trying to use the portal to go to the Observation Tower will spawn one in, waiting every 4 or 5 rounds or using the giant purple crystals (3 of which spawn in as part of the main Easter egg for this map).

Once the ABOMINATION decides to make his grand entrance, find one of the small PURPLE ETHER CRYSTALS that appear randomly around the map in all locations and areas. 







What we need to do is tease an Abomination into training his sights on you and let him shoot his energy discharge attack toward you, what you want to be between you and the Abomination and getting hit by this energy attack, is one of these purple crystals. 



When he shoots the smaller purple crystal, he destroys it and converts it into a ENERGETIC DIODE.

Now we need to head over to the Particle Accelerator area and place these crystals into the large vat of purple liquid that is behind the main core of the particle accelerator. Hold the use button and you will dump the crystals into the liquid.




We then need to get 10-15 melee kills near this vat of liquid. Each kill you get, you will see a purple wisp of zombie essence go into the vat and start to go towards creating the Chrysalax



After these zombie souls have been collected in their purple form, the Chrysalax will emerge from the liquid ready for battle!


Lets hit the Arcade baby! Got a quarter?

Another way we can do it is by hitting the Arcade area and playing the arcade games. You will of course, need an arcade token, as this is other worldly money we are talking here, not some pennies in your pocket, nickels and dimes, pounds, dollars are useless in this realm.

We can get tokens in 3 ways in this map:

  • Killing zombies randomly drop an ARCADE TOKEN

  • Buying one from the Change Machine in the Arcade for 10,000 credits HA!....see below!
  • Ripping off the Change Machine in the Arcade by knifing it


Once you get your token whether legally purchasing it, robbing the Arcade or a zombie very kindly gave it to you for free, go to the Der Eisendrache Pinball machine and insert it into the machine. When you enter this machine, you simply need to stay within a ring of fire and kill zombies that emerge from the dark blue portals in the 4 corners of the ring.




Simply kill the zombies and this will help to fill the Dragon Rocket up at the top of the ring. Once this has been fed with enough zombie souls, it will happily shoot away up into the atmosphere possibly trying to beat Elon Musk on who can get to mars first a human or a dragon? He does however say a thank you by leaving a chest behind full of goodies and most of the time it will actually be a gold chest.








Gold chests are the best of course and have lots of stuff like free perks, legendary weapons etc but you can also get the Chrysalax within these gold chest reward crates as well which is doubly sweet. Its not always guaranteed getting the wonder weapon but is an easy way to try if your feeling up to doing the Easter egg and want an amazing weapon by your side in the fight against the zombie menace.


Still not sure how to do it? Then check out MrRoflWaffles video here:
