Hi Guys,

here is how to complete the main Easter egg quest within the Ashes of the Damned zombies map, within Call of Duty Black Ops 7!

Lets get to it.

First Order of business!

When we spawn into the Ashes of the Damned map, we will want to start to make our way to where the Pack A Punch machine is located, activating the POWER PUMPS along the way, by clearing the INFESTATIONS that are stuck to them, then eventually installing the Pack A Punch machine on Ol' Tessie.

If you don't know how to get to the Pack A Punch location and install it on Ol' Tessie, then follow my Activating Pack A Punch Guide first.

Now you know how to accomplish this, from the ASHWOOD area, we will drive Ol' Tessie from ASHWOOD over to the EXIT 115 area of the map. This is where the Reba's Diner and the gas station is located.

What you want to do is activate the SAW TRAP in this area, or any other area that has the SWORD TRAP, when you are on a RAVAGER ROUND.

Lure a RAVAGER into the SWORD TRAP when activated and when it is destroyed by the trap, you will notice that it has dropped an ITEM that you can pick up called the RAVAGER EYES.

Too many zombie cooks spoil the apocalypse

Now you have the RAVAGER EYES, staying in the EXIT 115 area for a few rounds, will eventually spawn in a SPECIAL ZOMBIE called a COOK. 

He will be wearing a cooking apron to distinguish him from the other zombies and his skills on the grill cannot be matched by any other zombie on this map.

Destroy this zombie and the cook will drop another item called the FREEZER KEY.

You can use this FREEZER KEY in REBA'S DINER to open the silver freezer that is located around near the back entrance of the diner.

Once you open this, it will contain the ABOMINATION CARCASS item that you can pickup.

Now that we have this ADMONATION CARCASS, we need to head back to ASHWOOD and bring OL' TESSIE the pickup truck back into the garage.

We then need to use the VEHICLE UPGRADE STATION to the right of the garage to upgrade OL' TESSIE once more. This upgrade we will be putting the ABOMINATION CARCASS on the front of Ol' Tessie.

This will now give Ol' Tessie a BEAM ATTACK which you can activate that will shoot out 3 energy beams in the direction you are facing.

We will use this beam attack to find and destroy PURPLE GLOWING ROCKS around the map which are located in the foggy connecting areas that link one area to another.

Rock Hunter with a chip on their shoulder

When we drive Ol' Tessie out into the fog with our equipped ABOMINATION CARCASS, we need to find the AETHERIUM STYLE GLOWING PURPLE ROCKS. When we find one, activate the BEAM ATTACK on Ol' Tessie and it will smash them into smithereens.

There are several locations these can appear around the map the purple rocks and it is totally randomised where they will appear. Eventually when we find and destroy one, it will drop the item called HOARD HUSK CHUNKS.

Pick this up and we can then move onto the next stage.

When it turns into ROUND 8, you will want to be in the JANUS TOWERS PLAZA area of the map, where in one of the FREIGHT CONTAINERS, a special zombie will be spawning in, in the form of an UBER KLAUS.

It will be a bit of challenge this fight even this early on, so make sure before you fight him you have upgraded some weapons with the Pack A Punch machine to make this much easier than it needs to be.

With UBER KLAUS, his weak spots are his SHOULDER PADS which takes most of the damage.

Simply destroy this UBER KLAUS and he will then drop another item which is the STABILIZER CHIP.

Once we have the STABILIZER CHIP, we need to head over to ASHWOOD once more and take the ZIPLINE up to where MARKET SQUARE is, then head into the SHERIFF'S OFFICE where we find KLAUS locked up in a jail cell.

On the door to his cell there is a KEYPAD, walk up to it and interact with this cell door and it will install the STABILIZER CHIP into the KEYPAD. This will turn it a light yellow colour after a few seconds.

We then need to obtain, if you don't have some already, 3 STUN GRENADES. The easiest way to get these is to simply nip across to the other side of the ASHWOOD area and where the ASHWOOD SHOPS is located.

Here you will find a CRAFTING TABLE where you can purchase the 3 STUN GRENADES instantly.....absolutely stunning wouldn't you say?

Once you have these 3 stun grenades, come back to the SHERIFF'S OFFICE and stand to the left hand side of KLAUS' cell. 

Throw the 3 STUN GRENADES at the wall to the side of him so they bounce back and explode in front of him. After each grenade, you will notice sparks starting to come out of his head.

Once all 3 grenades have hit him, he will then stand up and come out of the cell and follow you.

Whoever activated KLAUS in this playthrough is the one who can command and control where he goes by using the tactical grenade button which he now inhabits.

KLAUS is very supportive, a barrel of laughs

Now we have KLAUS up and running, we need to head over to the ZARYA COSMODROME and to the section which is called SUPPORT SYSTEMS that is underneath the huge ROCKET on the landing pad.

In this area, you will see there is a CONTAINER within a GLASS CABINET embedded in the wall, with a CONTROL PANEL located to the right hand side of it.

Whoever is commanding KLAUS needs to tell him to go in front of this CONTROL PANEL, where he will then walk over to it and then do a STOMP, making a small explosion on the panel.

This will then allow you to interact with the panel and when you do, it will activate a RED SCANNING LASER just above the GLASS CABINET in the wall.

All you have to do here is stand in the red scanning circle on the ground until the scanning sequence is completed.

Notice you only have a set amount of time to do this and when you activate this mini objective, zombies will start to spawn in and try to kill you or persuade you to exit the scanning circle so be on your guard, especially if on solo and you have no team mates to cover you during this step.

Once the scanning process is completed to 100%, the GLASS CABINET in the wall will unlock and it will reveal the AETHER BARREL which you can pick up. 

Whoever picks up this barrel will not be able to sprint nor use jump pads to travel to other locations while carrying this, just be aware.

Now what we need to do is get back over to the ASHWOOD area with this AETHER BARREL before we move onto the next step.

If playing in co-op mode, get someone to use Ol' Tessie to pick you up and drive you to ASHWOOD in a safer and more timely manner, as carrying this AETHER BARREL will slow you down quite a bit.

I'm powerful, more refined than I once was

Now we are in the ASHWOOD area with our AETHER BARREL, head up to the ASHWOOD BRIDGE and where the POWER PUMP is located.

Go up to the middle of the pump and on one side you will see an empty slot which is the exact shape of the AETHER BARREL.

Interact with it and it will place the AETHER BARREL in this slow and it will then show a progress bar on the left hand side of the screen for "Refined Energy Extraction".

After about 10 or 15 seconds have passed, you will then see a PURPLE ENERGY EXPLOSION come out of the AETHER BARREL and then you can pick it up.

Once you pick it up, you will notice there is now a new objective and timer on the left hand side of the screen saying "Refined Energy Decay".

We will now need to head over to the BLACKWATER LAKE area of the map and locate its POWER PUMP.

We will do the exact same thing here, put the barrel into the machine, extract the energy for 10 to 15 seconds and pick it up once more. When picked up again, it will show another "Refined Energy Decay" timer on the left hand side of the screen counting down. 

We then need to head over to the VANDORN'S FARM area of the map and do the same with its POWER PUMP.

If at any stage you fail to get around all 3 POWER PUMPS with the AETHER BARREL before the REFINED ENERGY DECAY hits zero, then you will have to go back to the SUPPORT SYSTEMS area of the map in the ZARYA COSMODROME and repeat the RED LASER SCAN step all over again and start again with the 3 pumps.

When you pick up the AETHER BARREL for the last time from the VANDORN'S FARM POWER PUMP, you then need to head down into the CELLAR area of the BARN.

Here you will find a strange SQUARE BOX on a PLINTH which you go up and interact with.

When you interact with this box, its sides will start to glow with 3 GREEN CIRCLES on its faces.

These will allow you to interact with them and there will be 3 or 4 symbols on each circle for you to choose from.

Now we need to head outside of the BARN and out into the open again of VANDORN'S FARM.

I believe I can fly, symbolically speaking

Now head over to the JUMP PAD that is in the VANDORN's FARM area, activate it so that it takes you from there to the JANUS TOWERS PLAZA.

Once activated, before you leave the ground like Superman and fly into the air, look at the roof's of the buildings in the VANDORN'S FARM as you are rising.

You will notice 3 RED SYMBOLS on each roof of the BARN, FARM HOUSE and the GARAGE. These symbols go from right to left in order so write them down as you go up into the air. 

Then also double check them by taking the JUMP PAD from the JANUS TOWERS PLAZA area back to the VANDORN'S FARM area. Make a note of what these 3 SYMBOLS are.

Now you have a note of these, head back down to the CUBE that is in the CELLAR of the BARN area.

Then input them symbols you saw in order from right to left that correspond to the RIGHT BUILDING, MIDDLE BUILDING and LEFT BUILDING from the air, into the corresponding CUBE FACES. These will be random on each playthrough the symbols.

Once you put all the 3 correct symbols onto the CUBE faces, the 4th face of the cube will have a RED EYE FRONT EYE OF THE CUBE. Run up to this RED EYE and hold the interact button. This RED EYE will now disappear and part of the cube will open up and reward you with the NECROFLUID GAUNTLET.

Pick up this wonder weapon and it will activate a mini lockdown and you will notice a GREEN RING has formed around the BOX IN THE CELLAR area.

The wonder weapon has 3 types of attack:

• Spike Shot
• Spike Recall
• Claw Attack

What you need to do now is look around the room from left to right until you see these GREEN FLOATING ORBS, which you need to shoot 6 of with the NECROFLUID GAUNTLET.

Once all 6 have been shot, it will allow you to leave this area and we can proceed to the next step.

Cup of tea anyone? I'm wisping for one.....I mean gasping

Now we need to purchase the WISP TEA PERK either from buying it at the ZARYA COSMODROME area or obtaining it from a GOBBLEGUM.

Once WISP TEA has been acquired, head back over to the ASHWOOD area of the map and go to the TAILOR SHOP.

In here you will have noticed that there is an odd looking MIRROR on the wall that had hurt you if you walked in front of it. It has a glare coming from it.

Simply shoot a zombie in front of this mirror and its WISP will travel into the mirror and reveal and OBJECT within it.

Simply shoot the OBJECT inside the mirror with the NECROFLUID GAUNTLET and it will then drop an item called the POWDER OF THE FORGOTTEN.

Now if we check our current QUEST ITEMS in our inventory, we can see we already have most of the QUEST ITEMS on this map, including the POWDER we just picked up from the MIRROR.

What we will do now is go around the map and start to pick up the other QUEST ITEMS we need to progress through this map and Easter egg.
