BLACK OPS 6 ZOMBIES INFORMATION MINI-ROUNDUP Don't want to watch long videos or read long blogs? Here's a tl;dr megathread of Black Ops 6 zombies.

OFFICIAL: Free perkaholic easter egg in Terminus has been found, but there's two possible options for how it can be solved: -Killing just a fuckton of fish will give you the perkaholic -Killing a specific type of fish will give you the perkaholic The person who found the EE went around killing fish for awhile, as the fish respawns. It's unclear how the perkaholic activates. Credit to Andres Lopez, video down below.

OFFICIAL: the next zombies map is described as being “terrifying”.

OFFICIAL: ALL SWORD UPGRADES + INCANTATIONS Base Bastard Sword: 1. Unlock Pack-A-Punch 2. A bucket-head zombie will spawn at some point. Killing him drops a stamp. 3. Use the stamp to unlock one of the four swords. You need four stamps in total for all of them. Fire Sword: 1. Pick up the sword from the Dragon knight 2. Place it in the Dragon statue ontop of the staircase by Juggernog 3. There will be three fire cauldrons you need to grab fire from. Once you grab it, you have to quickly run to dunk it into the dragon statue. -One in spawn -One in the area to the left of spawn -One to the right of the cannon Fire Incantation: 1. Using the Fire sword, light three different stacks of wood ontop of the castle. -One is above elemental pop -One is above the castle entrance -One is on a hill above speed cola 2. A Doppelghast will spawn. Killing it will drop the Ankh. 3. Take the Ankh to a ritual circle in the courtyard and place it in it. 4. Get kills around the circle until it creates a chest. 5. Hit the chest with your Fire sword. Lightning Sword: 1. Pick up the sword from the Stagg knight 2. Collect three lightning rods: -One is above a staircase before you reach speedcola. There will be a box that you can shoot with dead wire. -Sitting right by Deadshot -Dropped by a random zombie. Unsure if you need to kill them with the sword or not, but likely. I only got this to drop when I killed them near Quick Revive 3. Place all three in a vase ontop of the castle near elemental pop and the cannon. A storm will pop up. 4. With your sword out, just sit around in the storm until your sword gets hit by lightning 5. Melee the vase (x3). Lightning Incantation: 1. Go to the stables by Deadshot. There is a horseshoe above one of the entrances. Shoot it and pick it up. 2. Go to the cannon and shoot yourself to spawn. There should be some sort of storm cloud. 3. Go to spawn and there'll be a rune on the floor 4. Interact with it and get zombie kills around it. 5. A chest will spawn when you're done. 6. Hit the chest with your Lightning sword. Sun/Light Sword: 1. Pick up the sword from the Lion knight 2. Yellow parasites will spawn (I believe 4 per round). 3. Go to the upper village and there will be a door with a lion on it in an underpass. 4. Kill a parasite and your sword will go yellow. Hit the door and a rune will pop up. Do this four times. 5. After all four runes appear, enter the door and place the sword on the hilt 6. There'll be four symbols flying around. Shoot them in order of what it shows you on the podium. Sun/Light Incantation: 1. In the dining hall/sword room, there is a glowing crystal at the top. 2. Shooting the crystal will create a beam. You can direct the beam based on where you're standing and by shooting it. 3. Direct the beam to another crystal several times, creating a link between each one 4. Grab the Amulet that spawns after you complete it. 5. Place it infront of the lion drawing in the sword room. 6. Get zombie kills around the new rune site until it creates a box. 7. Use the Sun/Light sword on the box. Dark/Void Sword: 1. Pick up the sword from the Crow knight 2. There's a bone trophy in the staminup/alchemy room on a shelf. Pick it up. 3. Go to the Tavern's underground area and go to the rune circle and put the trophy and sword into the slot 4. You have to line up the bottom with two different astrology symbols based on the bone trophy animal (key is in the images). Simply look up "Ram zodiac", "Crow zodiac", etc and you can solve it pretty easily. 5. The sigil will start spawning zodiac bubbles. There will be void holes that start spawning, and you just guide the bubbles into them. Dark/Void Incantation: 1. Go through the sewer slide and shoot the crow that's chilling on a rock 2. Go to the area where Deadshot is and there should be a crow flying around 3. The crow will drop its claw. Pick it up. 4. Go to the Undercroft and interact with the rune on the ground. 5.

OFFICIAL: EASTER EGG GUIDE FOR #CITADELLEDESMORTS 1. Unlock all swords and incantations (guide in the tweet below). 2. Using Melee Macchiato, destroy a wall in the Undercroft that has runes behind it. -In the Tavern, there will be 6 vases with a roman numeral. Interacting with them gives a rune. Write them both down. -Return back to the wall once you have your 6 runes and input them in numerical order in the wall. 3. A book is now accessible, but you need to find its pages. -Pages have red eyes and are found in the Staminup/Alchemy area. There are four of them, and you could probably just run around and hold square everywhere to find them. -Put all four pages in the book -From the order of top left to bottom left to top right to bottom right, you have to activate its corresponding red magic trap and get zombie kills with your sword in the circle. -For example, for just the eye, you have to find which red magic trap has only the eye. 4. Use the incantations on their respective knight statues in the order specified by the wall in the Sitting Room Passage. This will give you the Mystic Orb. 5. Use the Mystic Orb to do several "trials" around the map. -Near the arsenal machine outside the circle, there's a slot you can put the orb in. The orb should be a color, and you simply just use its corresponding elemental sword to get kills. -In the statue room across vulture aid, there's another slot. You have to stand in the green orbs around the room until they disappear. -In the undercroft, there's a third slot. The orb should be a color, and you simply just use its corresponding elemental sword to get kills. -In the spawn room, there's a fourth slot. The orb should be a color, and you simply just use its corresponding elemental sword to get kills. 6. Going back to the same wall specified in step 4, insert the orb. 7. Play the recording that appears. A key will appear. 8. Using the key, go to the spawn room big dwarf guy and activate the boss fight.

OFFICIAL: LIBERTY FALLS MAIN QUEST GUIDE Step 1) Open up the map and unlock Pack-A-Punch Step 2) Interact with the big machine within the dark aether filled church, once for the dialogue and once more after its done Step 3) Unlock the motel room and build the Jet Gun Step 4) Build the LTG on top of the bank rooftop -suck floating part near Panos -do the Aetherella side ee, activate trap, and suck up three statues again. Part will be in the sky -Jump ontop of truck near speed cola and jet gun window Step 5) Collect aether canisters from the same machine from step 2, you can only collect 1. Pick it up and bring it over to the aether trap to spawn and drop it on top of one of the trap output spots (refer to image) Step 6) Go to the dark aether storm cloud near spawn and interact with the circular spot right underneath it on the floor. You need to defend the incoming portal from zombies, not allowing them to enter. Step 7) A HVT will spawn. Weaken it (DO NOT KILL IT!) and bring it over towards your dropped canister. Step 8) Activate the aether trap, ensure your HVT is in the purple trap radius and kill it. Its soul transfers over to your canister. Step 9) Pick up the canister and you have 1 minute and 30 seconds to return it to the machine from step 2 inside of the church. Step 10) A quote about a Strauss counter will now pop up, give it some time and the machine spews out that exact device. Pick it up. Step 11) There are 3 projectors on the map (Groundskeeper Yard, Hilltop Stairs grass area & bank rooftop ledge when you jump down) you need to interact with, putting each of them on a specific color. Most likely randomized per game, so just keep going until you got it. Step 12) Check the pulsating/health damaging purple object right at spawn next to the gas station. If step 11 was done correctly you get a quote about it and you can interact with it. Step 13) Interact with the object and it will open up, letting you safely pick up the last canister. Step 14) Just like step 6 we're going to the aether storm cloud, this time it's the one at the cemetary next to the church. Step 15) Repeat step 6, 7 and 8 but use the aether trap near Speed Cola. Step 16) Again bring the filled aether canister over to the church, inserting it into the machine. Step 17) Dialogue will happen. GEAR UP PROPERLY and suggest bringing a Mutant Injection, once done interact with the machine. Step 18) Lockdown occurs, you need to survive a total of 3 waves (1st wave normal zombies, 2nd wave zombies + Mangler HVT, 3rd wave zombies + Abomination HVT). Literally kill everything, the machine now acts as a soulbox. Step 19) Once the soulbox is filled enjoy and get sucked into the cutscene (pun intended) Credit to @Wildcatz442 for LTG guide and @IKBENSEAN for writing this guide up, as well as the other fine folks on the MargwaNetwork Discord
