Archon Easter Egg Guide Part 1 - Call of Duty Vanguard Zombies


Hi guys,

here is the FULL EASTER EGG GUIDE walkthrough for the Archon zombies map for Call Of Duty Vanguard. This is the last zombies map for Call Of Duty Vanguard as we are coming close to the release of Call Of Duty Modern Warfare II, woo hoo!

This map is basically the map Terra Maledicta all over again but with a few new additions in some interesting places. I will be using the maps I had previously created for these screens and simply updating them with the new locations of items that have been added in to the Archon.

Snorkels at the ready and lets dive right into it to complete the Vanguard zombies storyline once and for all soldier, before we shed a tear to move onto the new Call Of Duty coming out very soon.



Machine Parts That Pack A Real Punch
When we first spawn into the Archon map, we will notice there are 2 indicators on the screen with objective markers on them. 

Head over to each of these locations the marker is pinpointing and you will find at each location, a piece of the Pack A Punch machine that you will need to pick up.




The first location is on top of the train carriages that are tipped over onto their side in the SPIKE area.





The second location is on top of the train carriages that are tipped over onto their side in the DERAILMENT area.

Once these 2 machine parts have been obtained, make your way back to the MAIN SPAWN area which is in the TEMPLE area and hold the use button on the broken Pack A Punch machine. This will trigger a RITUAL which spawns in zombies that you simply have to kill in order to complete the ritual.









Once they have all been killed, the screen will flash white as if you have stared into a KABOOM Nuke going off point blank into your eyeballs, followed by some dialogue starting with Von List. Simply let the dialogue waffle on until a PLINTH appears in front of the Pack A Punch machine in the middle of the TEMPLE area.







Simply walk up to this PLINTH and hold the use button on it to put down the RELIC MIRROR on it that was obtained from completing the last zombies level called Shi No Numa Reborn. Don't panic, you do not have to have completed Shi No Numa Reborn in order to obtain the mirror......I could sense you were getting worried when reading that previous sentence.





Once the RELIC MIRROR has been placed on the PLINTH, a portal will spawn to the left of the PLINTH when facing the Pack A Punch machine. This will then ask you to enter the DARK AETHER. Walk up to it, take a deep breath, don't be scared, then hold the use button to enter the portal.


Reaching New Heights
When we come out of the portal, we will be in the DARK AETHER area called STYGIAN HEIGHTS, a lovely part of the world. Take in the sights....or should I say the "heights"....hehe.....why do I hear the wind whistling in the background and a tumbleweed blow across the land in the distance when I said that?





All you need to do in here is survive for a minute or two killing zombies and moving around the area. You will then get a bit of a shock after this time, as you will be automatically downed by the game after this time. As this is meant to happen, you will not lose any of the perks you currently have acquired up to this point so no need to worry, it's all good.

There will then be some dialogue again and you will be then teleported back to the main part of the map to continue on with the Easter egg quest.

When you are teleported back to the main map area, there will now be 3 RITUALS that need to be completed. These can be completed in any order at all.


RITUAL NUMBER 1 - Da Brie Field....I thought it was a field made of cheese!
If you head over to the DEBRIS FIELD area, we are going to look for RED CRYSTALS that have a glow/twinkle of energy emanating from them. Some of these can be slightly outside the map or higher up on a ledge that needs you to keep your eyes peeled and sharp. Searching the DEBRIS FIELD for these GLOWING RED CRYSTALS, keep shooting them until a RED ENERGY ORB appears from one of them.








When this orb has been located, it will float down and you can walk up to it and press the use button on it to pick it up. The DECIMATOR will then give you a clue with some dialogue as to the next step of action to take, by saying The orb says "Search your enemy's home away from home".





Use your skull, not your brain
Once we have the red orb and been given this clue from the Decimator, head over to the BAZAAR area and go to the upstairs section, just to the right of the YELLOW PERK FOUNTAIN. Here you will find on a shelf a RED GLOWING CURSED SKULL. Press the used button to pick this up. This is one of three items we will need to return to the red orb.






Once you pick up this skull, you will not be able to sprint anymore. you will also have activated a challenge on the left hand side of the screen, which can be "KILLING ENEMIES CAUSES DAMAGE". This is pretty self explanatory but killing zombies on your way to taking this CURSED SKULL back to the location of the RED ORB, will hurt you pretty badly.

When you get back to the RED ORB, simply hold the use button and you will OFFER THE CURSED SKULL to the orb. Next we will head over to the EAST SPRINGS area and to the TENTS.


I would take my hat off to you, if I could find it
Now head over to the EAST SPRINGS area and to the TENTS. Here you will find another cursed item, which will be in the form of an OFFICERS HAT, beside the crafting table in the tent. 





Simply pick this item up and it will activate another challenge while you try to deliver this object to the RED ORB. For instance in this occasion, the challenge was "RELOAD DISABLED" for your weapon, so when you magazine is out, its empty until you get the hat delivered to the orb. When holding this item, it also means you cannot sprint either.





Simply go up to the orb and you will offer the CURSED OFFICERS HAT to the orb and we can move onto the final item we need to find.


I have a bone to dig with you mister shovel
The last item we will look for is beneath our feet and needs dug up from the ground. To do this, we will need to locate a SHOVEL. 




There are many spawn locations for the shovel, simply pick up the SHOVEL from anywhere you can find it and head over to the DERAILMENT area and in the very back area in the corner, there should be a DIG SITE which when you hold the use button on with the SHOVEL equipped, it will dig up the CURSED FEMUR.






Pick this up and lets hot tail it back over to the red orb for delivery. As you already know, you will have activated another challenge here and is available to see on the left hand side of the screen. In this instance it was HIP FIRE ONLY, so our accuracy would be a little off as we fight our way back to the red orb for delivery.





When we get back to the red orb, offer the CURSED FEMUR to it by holding the use button on it and your good to go. 





Once you have completed this ritual, the DECIMATOR SHIELD will drop down in this area, the DEBRIS FIELD, which you can now pick it up to use at your discretion. As we all know the DECIMATOR SHIELD has 2 attacks, a melee attack and a decimation blast, which has a 30 second cool down in between uses.


Trial of Resilience 
When you pick up the shield, head over to the OBELISK that is in the DEBRIS FIELD and hold the use button on it to activate the TRIAL OF RESILIENCE. 





Once you activate this trial, there will be a time limit in which you can complete it successfully within. This timer will appear on the left hand side of your screen with the text "Fill the parched fountain".




What we need to do is look around the immediate and surrounding areas for SYPHONECORE'S, which are pillars with heads attached to them, that have appeared in the map. We need to use the DECIMATOR SHIELD'S DECIMATOR BLAST attack to destroy each of the SYPHONECORE'S. 




When a SYPHONECORE has been destroyed, you need to run up to it and hold the use button to fill the CHALICE you carry around with you and use to drink from the PERK FOUNTAINS from. 






When pressing the use button, it will fill the empty CHALICE up with blood from the SYPHONECORE remains. Once the CHALICE is filled with blood, run over to the EMPTY FOUNTAIN that has now appeared within the DEBRIS FIELD area and fill it up with the blood in the CHALICE.






Then we simply need to rinse and repeat this process destroying the SYPHONECORE's with the DECIMATOR SHIELD BLAST attack after it has recharged each time, fill the CHALICE with blood from the SYPHONECORE remains and dump it into the newly appeared fountain.




In solo you will need to destroy 4 SYPHONECORE's in total. When completed the OBELISK will reward you with lots of free goodies as a thank you.




Still not sure how to do it? Check out MrRoflWaffles Easter Egg Guide video below:
