Easter Egg Guide: Part 1 -- Part 2 --

Hi guys,

here is the full Easter egg guide to The Tomb in Call Of Duty Black Ops 6 Zombies. It is a lot shorter than some of the other Easter Egg's and there isn't really a boss fight as such, as the boss fight is fighting against the object, the ARTIFACT rather than some kind of super zombie or over powered enemy.

Let's find out how we can do this Easter Egg to activate the final cut scene within this pretty cool map...

Activate Pack A Punch - The Road to Nowhere is Somewhere....I think

First up, we need to activate the PACK A PUNCH machine on this map which is very easily done by following the OBJECTIVE MARKER marked in ORANGE from the start of the game. 

This will eventually take you down into the SUBTERRANEAN TEMPLE area and you will need to place an AMULET you are already carrying as soon as you spawn into the map, on the PLINTH the orange marker is highlighted on.

This will then fire a beam of energy towards the wall which has a faint outline of a door on it. This will then activate a RED PORTAL that will allow you to be teleported to the DARK AETHER NEXUS area.

Unfortunately, even though we have opened a key area on this map to the DARK AETHER NEXUS, the next part of the Easter egg doesn't appear or take place, until round 8. It is advised to stay in the main map area before going into the DARK AETHER NEXUS as there are some very tight spaces and paths within the dark aether area which may get you into some sticky situations when you least expect it.

Let's fast forward to round 8 and when the round starts, you will notice a SHOCK MIMIC will spawn at the start of this round.

Take him down and it will drop 1 of 3 parts that are needed to craft the ICE STAFF. The ICE STAFF can also be obtained from the MYSTERY BOX, especially better chances if you also use the WUNDERBAR GOBBLE GUM when gambling on the mystery box, but it is not always guaranteed. So lets do it the free and longer way and build it ourselves.

MONOCLE PART - Shockingly Easy to obtain

At the start of round 8 on this map, a SHOCK MIMIC will spawn in at the start of the round. 

When you take it down, it will drop the MONOCOL PART for the ICE STAFF. Pick it up and then we can move onto the next 2 parts.

The next 2 parts cannot be acquired until we have opened up the DOOR TO NOWHERE and have acquired access to the DARK AETHER NEXUS area.

Once you have ticked this box, we can move onto the next part.

Flaming Heck! - That lantern is flaming hot!

We now need to head over to the NEOLITHIC CATACOMBS area of the map and look up to the ceiling until we find a FLAMING PURPLE LANTERN, which is known as an AETHERIC LANTERN. This flaming lantern needs to be shot, which will make it explode and rain down purple fire, damaging you or any zombies in its path.

When it is shot, it will move to another location within this area and you will need to find it again and shoot it, then keep performing this until the LANTERN appears on the ceiling in the room where the CRAFTING TABLE is located in this area.

Keep the lantern burning and then look to the left hand side of the CRAFTING TABLE and you will notice that the lantern has revealed on the wall 10 SYMBOLS, which are actually ROMAN NUMERALS 1 to 10. 

Mr DalekJD's Youtube video has listed what the symbols mean as some can be hard to make out as they overlap some of the symbols shown below:

This will trigger a wave of zombies such as vermin, normal zombies, armoured, Doppelghasts etc and you will need to take them all out before the PURPLE ENERGY BALL moves to another location within this area and triggers another wave of enemies. It will do this 3 or 4 times, trigger a wave of zombies with it, before returning back to the wall with the ROMAN NUMERALS on it.

When it does this, one more lockdown will initiate and when you finish the final wave of zombies, you will be rewarded with a MAX AMMO and the second part of the ICE STAFF which is called the HEAD PIECE.

We are Tombed! I mean Doomed!

Now we have the first puzzle wall out of the way, we need to head over to the TOMB area where we will repeat the same process. This time however, the AETHER LANTERNS are on the sides of the walls in this area. We need to shoot the ones that are lit until they appear adjacent the wall where you get the FREE RAY GUN.

Once the lantern is lit facing this wall, the roman numerals will appear on the wall again where there is a BULL PAINTING on the wall with pictures of men charging towards it. We will simply repeat the same process as before that we done in the NEOLITHIC CATACOMBS area.

The roman numerals this time however only go up to 8 and need shot in the order of.....yip you guessed....1 to 8. 

Once we get the numerals shot in order, the PURPLE ORB will reappear again and start wreaking havoc again and start to create portals around the area in 2 or 3 different locations, triggering several waves of zombies which are a little more difficult this time around if this is the wall you are doing the second time around. 

It will throw some Doppelghasts out again but also accompanied along with his best friend, Mimics.

Simply get through these zombie waves and when you destroy them all, you will finish off the last wave at the wall itself and the wall will reward you with a MAX AMMO again along with the STAFF PIECE item to pickup.

The Dark Aether always gives me an icy reception

Now we have the 3 parts we need to build the ICE STAFF, head over to the DARK AETHER NEXUS area and go into the centre of the map and on top of the hill top, there will be a strange formation of rocks with a circular hole in the middle of one at the top of the hill, surrounded by symbols.

Go up to here and hold the interact button and it will place the ICE STAFF in the centre of this ancient type of machine.

This will then cause a bright white flash to take place and it will trigger another mini lock down in this area. What you have to do here is protect the STAFF OF ICE until it is constructed by the machine and all waves of zombies have been destroyed.

Zombies that will attack the ICE STAFF will glow with a PURPLE SMOKE around them. What the best tactic here to do is, focus on training the other zombies into a large group and move them around in the direction you want them to go and focus 99% of the time just shooting the zombies that are bellowing out the PURPLE SMOKE. 

This means that the staff will be protected at all times and it should be built in time before it is attacked too much and is destroyed. You will see a health meter on the left hand side of the screen of how much health the ICE STAFF has and if it is nearly destroyed or not.

Don't worry if you fail this task, it can be repeated again if you move onto the next round and can try again for more attempts. 

Once it is completed, you will be given the ICE STAFF to use as you please, woo hoo!

Too cold to handle, too cold to hold.....so lets upgrade it

Now we have the ICE STAFF, we will immediately upgrade it to get this step out of the road. In order to do this, we will need to pay attention to the DARK AETHER LANTERS that are dotted throughout the map.

These are the purple flame lanterns that you see dotted around the map.

What we need to do with them is simply FREEZE 3 OF THEM WITH THE ICE STAFF, in quick succession, but in a different area for each, all within about 10 to 15 seconds....better get your running shoes on.

The best thing to do is to line the AETHER LANTERNS up in a way that they are close to each other when leaving each area, you will then run into the next one in a few seconds.

To do this, you can rearrange where the AETHER LANTERNS spawn locations, simply by shooting them and destroying them. They will then move to another location in the same area where lanterns can spawn, which is indicated by the twig / branch like structure sticking out of the sides of walls.

One of the best ways to get to them very quickly and within the short period of time, is to order them in an optimal route. One optimal route is to get lanterns in the following areas and near the lantern spawn location closest to the previous one.

Optimal Lantern Location:

• First location - NEOLITHIC CATACOMBS area

The first lantern, if you keep shooting them in this area until one is lit up, which is near the WALL GUN BUY for the KOMPAKT 92 sub machine gun. When you find it, use the ICE STAFF on it to freeze the flames, then very quickly move onto the next one.

• Second Location - The OSSUARY area

The second area you should have arranged the lantern to be in position is in the OSSUARY area to be in this optimal route. It is right at the doorway where you come from the NEOLITHIC CATACOMBS area into the OSSUARY. There is a lantern just above the doorway as you come down the right hand side and pass the GUN WALL BUY of the XM4 ASSAULT RIFLE.

Shoot it then lets run to the SUBTERRANEAN TEMPLE area as quickly as we can to complete the sequence.

• Third location - SUBTERRANEAN TEMPLE area

Now if we run from the OSSUARY area to the SUBTERRANEAN TEMPLE area, if we have lined up the LANTERN that is in front of the DOOR TO NOWHERE to be on the side of where the doorway leads to the OSSUARY, things will be very easy indeed. Here is the best location to make the lantern spawn here:

This can be done in any order that you like or with other lanterns. They just need to be in different areas each one, but the choice is totally up to you.

When you have done it successfully you will hear a quote from ARCHIBALD saying "Extinguished the flames, froze the crystals"

Give me an ice staff....on the rocks

Now we need to head over to the DARK AETHER NEXUS again and we will be looking for 3 ROCKS floating in the air. The rocks you will be looking for will have a slightly BLUE / PURPLE tinge to them when you look at them from underneath.

When you find them, you need to shoot them with the ICE STAFF. If it is the correct rock you are looking for, a HIT MARKER will register on the screen. When the rock is shot, the rock will come down from the sky and show you the SYMBOL underneath it relating to that particular rock.

Now we just need to find all 3 of them and shoot them with the ICE STAFF. Lets see where they are in the dark aether night sky.

ROCK LOCATION 1

The first rock location can be found to the right hand side of the PACK A PUNCH machine, on the side which has the large cliff to the right of it.

ROCK LOCATION 2

The second rock location can easily be seen by standing on where the FREE DARK AETHER TOOL appears in this area, on a small plinth near the right of the CRAFTING TABLE. Looking up towards the centre of the map near where it is above the PACK A PUNCH MACHINE, there is another which can be shot. When it comes down, take note of its symbol also.

ROCK LOCATION 3

This is hidden in a group of around 3 rocks huddled in a circle in the air and is a little bit harder to see than the others. It is located almost directly above the PACK A PUNCH MACHINE and the LARGE ORANGE MUSHROOM type object reaching into the sky. It is almost pointing you towards them.

When all 3 have been shot successfully, you will get a message from ARCHIBALD mentioning that it is some damn fine shooting he is seeing.

Leaving the Dark Aether Nexus on a a jet plane

Now we need to leave the DARK AETHER NEXUS after taking note of the 3 SYMBOLS on the bottom of the rocks.

Our next task is to run around the map to try to find which one of the DARK AETHER TELEPORTERS has now been closed. This can be any one of the teleporters and changes on each playthrough.

In the screenshots, the TELEPORTER in the SHRINE OF THE HIEROPHANTS has now been sealed back up again.

If you look at the sealed up portal, there will now be 8 symbols appearing on the wall that is blocking it. 3 of the symbols on the wall will be the 3 symbols you took note of in the DARK AETHER NEXUS.

All you need to do is shoot the 3 symbols you noted in the DARK AETHER NEXUS on the bottom of the rocks, on the wall with the ICE STAFF. These can be shot in any order you like.

Once you shoot these, it will reopen the portal again to the DARK AETHER NEXUS. 

However once you enter the portal that reopens, it will take you to an elevated position in the DARK AETHER NEXUS, where you will be met with a PURPLE ORB.

What you have to do is INTERACT with this ORB and if done correctly, it will lower the platform you are standing on to the ground. If done incorrectly, it will drop you to the ground and you will need to redo the step of finding the portal that is sealed up again and inputting the 3 same symbols that need shot in order to unlock it again. Then you can try to interact with it correctly without getting thrown off it.

When you come down to the ground on the platform, the PURPLE ORB will start moving around the DARK AETHER NEXUS and acting as a SOUL BOX, you need to stay very close to it as it goes around the area while you destroy zombies. 

There will be all manner of zombies spawning here including DOPPELGHASTS. AMALGUM and lots of normal zombies etc. You need to keep close to the PURPLE ORB or you will fail this task, no matter what. It takes quite a lot of souls to fill up the orb, so keep destroying as many zombies as you can non stop.

The orb will eventually, when it has enough souls charged up into it, go into the rock formation at the top of the hill that built the ICE STAFF earlier and you had to protect it. You can then place the ICE STAFF into the rocks / machine that the PURPLE ORB has went into and is now glowing purple. This will then upgrade it to ULL'S ARROW.

If you don't stay close enough to the PURPLE ORB, you will fail this task and have to do it all over again, resetting the PORTAL which has closed somewhere around the map and trying again shooting the 3 symbols and interact with the orb again.
