How to make the Terminus Island Easter Egg in Black Ops 6 Zombies

Completing the Easter Egg on Terminus Island in Black Ops 6 can be quite a task, especially for seasoned players familiar with the Zombies mode. This guide will walk you through the various steps involved in this intricate quest.

Step 1: Activating Power and Getting the Pack-a-Punch

Upon starting your journey on Terminus Island, your first goal is to activate three CME (Centralized Multi-Energy) units located throughout the map. Look for the orange icons on your interface or the purple arrows on your map to find them easily.

After activating the three units, jump over the railing and dive into the water at the Biological Laboratory to activate the inclined elevator. This action will cost you 500 credits but will allow you access to the coveted Pack-a-Punch machine.

Step 2: Powering Up the Special Weapon Room

To gain entry to the room where you can craft a special weapon, you need to modify your weapon in the arsenal, equipping it with the “Dead Wire” ammo type. This setup enables you to shoot several electricity boxes scattered around the map. Fortunately, this step isn’t time-sensitive, and the box locations will remain the same, giving you ample time to complete this task.

• Three boxes are situated in the inclined elevator area near the Pack-a-Punch. Start by activating the platform to shoot the first box through a window, then turn right to hit the second one, and finally, shoot the third box as the elevator ascends.
• The next two boxes are located inside the Residence; one is directly above a CME you activated earlier, and the other is outside in the Playground area.

When you shoot these boxes, you’ll clearly see the electricity flowing between them.

Step 3: Opening the Briefcase in the Marina Tower

Once you’ve unlocked the special weapon room, you’ll need to eliminate a zombie trapped between the floor and a shelf. This zombie will drop the electromagnetic key, which is crucial for opening the briefcase in the Marina Tower.

Go to the Marina Tower and open the briefcase to receive the multi-phase resonator. Be cautious, as opening it will trigger an alarm, attracting a horde of zombies.

Step 4: Decoding the Computer Code in the Research Office

After placing the resonator in the research office computer, you’ll be prompted to enter a code. To decipher this code, you need to find values for X, Y, and Z using the formulas on the whiteboards in the room. First, locate three computers around the map:

• One computer is just outside the Quick Revive room in the Storage Zone.
• The second is near the Stamin-Up area in the Communications zone.
• The third can be found at the Dock, right beneath the Marina Towers.

After activating all three computers, return to the research office to find sticky notes attached to the computer. Each letter will have a corresponding symbol, and you’ll need to determine the numeric values based on the whiteboard formulas.

Step 5: Charging the Multi-Phase Resonator

Once you have decoded the necessary information, head to a specific island marked on your map. There, you’ll find a blue energy orb that you need to interact with to place the resonator inside. This action will summon more zombies, some of which will also have blue energy. Collect this energy and return it to the orb until the resonator is fully charged.

Repeat this process with two more orbs of different colors (green and purple), and once completed, you’ll obtain the CME Ammo.

Step 6: Locating the Hard Drive in the Tentacle Traps

With your special weapon crafted, the next task is to find a hard drive hidden in one of the tentacle traps around the map. The hard drive’s location changes with each game but can be found in specific areas:

• Containment cells
• Biological Laboratory (twice)
• Residence

Activate the trap and shoot the grate using your special weapon. After a few seconds, the hard drive should drop. If it doesn’t, check another trap.

Step 7: Helping Maya’s Brother

After acquiring the hard drive, take it to Straus in the control zone. Wait for him to hack it, revealing that Maya’s brother is trapped in the laboratory’s central capsule.

Interact with the capsule to open it, and you’ll need to help him escape by solving another code. The clues will always be in the same locations:

• The first clue is in the Interrogation Room, where you’ll find a clock displaying the first number.
• The second clue is in the Cantina, where a poker card shows a number from AS (1) to 9.
• The last clue is in Engineering, near the Juggernaut, where there is a board with “Days Without Accidents” recording a number.

After collecting all the clues, return to the capsule to enter the code and complete the process.

Step 8: Fixing the Network Error and Hacking the Buoys

Once you’ve assisted Maya’s brother, dive into the water in the Biological Laboratory to find a card that allows you to access the communications room. The computer will inform you of a network error that you need to fix.

Go to the sunken ship and enter through a hatch using your access card. Inside, you’ll find devices necessary for fixing the network, but prepare for enemies during this task.

Next, repair disconnected tubes at three specific locations:

• An island directly in front of the sunken ship.
• The base of the marina towers.
• The cave area near the Speed Cola.

Once repaired, return to the guard post to collect the hacking device and head to one of the three buoys equipped with antennas to hack them within a time limit.

Step 9: Disarming the Bombs in the Biological Laboratory

After successfully hacking the buoys and repairing the network, three bombs will automatically activate in the laboratory. If you don’t disable these bombs in time, you risk dying and losing your progress.

When the countdown begins, the doors to the bomb locations will open, unleashing a horde of enemies. Be well-prepared and consider using distractions to manage the onslaught. The bombs are located in:

• The middle zone, beneath the project room.
• The lower part, where you find the Melee Macchiato.
• The lower area, at the end before climbing the stairs.

Step 10: Battling Patient 13

After disabling all the bombs, your final challenge is to confront Patient 13. This boss battle is one of the toughest in the Zombies mode, so ensure you’re fully equipped and have upgraded your weapons and perks.

Patient 13 will have three phases and a predictable attack pattern, making it easier to learn his moves. Keep in mind that zombies will continue to spawn during the fight. Once you defeat him, you will unlock the final cutscene.
