Shattered Veil — Black Ops 6 Zombies Easter Egg Guide

Follow the orange waypoints and open the doors toward the mansion elevator, collecting two repair parts on the way. Then go around the back of the elevator and hold interact to repair it, and call it from the front — it rises and opens with a horde inside.

Hold interact again to open the rappel cord in the shaft and descend into the Mainframe Chamber with the S.A.M. AI. Pack-a-Punch is up the stairs in that chamber.

Aether Shroud is effectively mandatory on this map — the liminal-library parts in step 10 can only be seen and picked up during or just after a shroud. Take Extra Charge, and Supercharged on Speed Cola to build charges faster.

Loadout: MrDalekJD runs the ASG shotgun, MrRoflWaffles a low-recoil AR with the crossbow launcher, Semtex or tomahawks. You will need explosive damage and tomahawks later, though both can be crafted in-match.

• Fuse — in the Library, shoot the dead maintenance-worker zombie body and take what it drops
• Circuit board — in Director's Quarters, shoot Richtofen's computer and it pops out

Everything downstream needs a Ray Gun Mark 2. From round 10, a lab-technician zombie spawns in the Mainframe Chamber or service tunnels and drops a gold-glowing floppy disk. If you do not see it, play a few more rounds — a nuke can kill it silently, so sweep the underground floors for the disk on the ground.

Take the disk to the East Foyer — the right-hand room facing the T-Rex skeleton. Insert it into the computer in the corner, clear the wave it triggers, then read the fax machine just left of the computer and defend while it prints the Project Janus paper.

Interact with the printed paper. It contains one four-letter word in capitals — MOTH, CRAB, YETI or WORM, random every game.

The chalkboard cipher: go to the Nursery chalkboard. For each letter of your word in order, count how many letters are in the cluster containing that letter — that count is the digit. CRAB gave 9-7-2-9 in one game, YETI gave 5-4-8-2 in another. That is your four-digit code.

In the service tunnels a Doppelghast is sealed behind a glass door. Enter the code on the keypad, kill it, and take the severed arm. Carry it to the Armory and use it on the fingerprint scanner right of the Ray Gun Mk2 wall display to claim the weapon.

Shortcut: a Wonderbar! gum gives roughly a one-in-three Mk2 from the box, and box odds improve later in the game. In co-op several players can each hold one.

You need three empty canisters, each later charged into a different elemental variant at a different station.

Do not overthink which is which: the empty canisters appear interchangeable — it is the charging station that decides the variant. The two creators pair them to opposite variants, which is the giveaway.

The other guide: MrDalekJD states no weapon requirement for the blue crystals at all.

Gas valves: beside the glass tube in the Mainframe Chamber, a letter — A or B, random per game — is written on the wall. In the service-tunnel pipe area, throw tomahawks at the red valve wheels so gas flows leftmost, then middle, then your letter’s valve, with the other letter’s valve off. A voice quote plays and the tube visibly fills with gas; blow it open with any explosive.

• Kazimir pull — get a Kazimir (craft one, or take the free one off the dead body in the service tunnel opposite the armour wall), then throw it directly in front of the zombie window barrier on the Rear Patio behind Double Tap. It sucks a canister out of the window
• Blue crystals — four water-pouch growths sit high up and one of the four drops a canister, purely at random, so shoot them all. Spawns: service-tunnel ceiling high on the left, Conservatory roof near Quick Revive, the mansion's left exterior wall by the Southwest Balcony roof, and the East Foyer ceiling up the right-hand staircase
• Gas tube — you need about three tomahawks (bench-crafted, or free from the tree stump in spawn, beside the Nursery bed, and right of Pack-a-Punch)

Destroy four small orange plants with explosive damage or the base Ray Gun Mk2 to collect four seeds. Elemental variants do not work, and other guns simply pop the plant, leaving you waiting for regrowth. Grenades, Semtex and Molotovs all work. Only four of the many spawn points are active per game — they grow near grassy areas: the Conservatory at base and top level, the mansion’s left entrance, the Garden Pond by the staircase and both sides of the bridge, the West Balcony by a tree, the Southwest Balcony inside and out, the hidden corner behind Double Tap, Shem’s Henge, and the fountain sides near Quick Revive.

In the Conservatory, place an empty canister in the charging device at the top of the staircase, then plant a seed in each of the four rectangular planters.

Interact with a planted seed to start the harvest defence — infinite purple-eyed zombies attack that planter. Kill them near it until the bar gains a quarter, then move to the next. Four defences, 25% each.

Fail state: if a planter takes too much damage the seed pops out the front. Grab it fast and replant, next round if you must. Lose it entirely and you need to destroy another plant for a fresh seed.

Finish: collect the Toxic Canister, take it to the workbench near spawn, insert it, then hold interact while holding the base Mk2 to craft the MKII-R.

Break the white Project Janus boxes around the map until one drops the essence-bomb part — pure luck. They are everywhere: the Armory’s left side, opposite the camper van and in the side-room corner of the service tunnel, the Southwest Balcony, West Hallway, outside the West Balcony, the T-Rex room shelf and floor, both sides of the Motor Court, Shem’s Henge, and the Conservatory.

Then pull two purple refractors — one from the Conservatory fountain near Quick Revive, one from the matching fountain on the Southwest Balcony. In the service tunnels near the tier-3 armour wall, hold interact on the rubble wall to place the essence bomb and blow open the Serpent Mound.

Inside, place the canister in the holder on the right to activate the ceiling lasers, then put one refractor on the pole opposite and the second on the lower pole left of the canister. Now bounce the beam onto three statues in turn:

Soul 1: melee the source crystal — the beam runs through to a Doppelghast statue and spawns one. Kill it.

Soul 2: melee the first refractor once so the beam rebounds into the cavern above. Carry the second refractor up the slope on the left, place it on the new laser position, melee it so it hits the second statue, then melee the source crystal and kill the Doppelghast.

Soul 3: melee the first refractor again, bring the upper refractor back to its original ground-floor pole, then melee the first refractor a couple more times until the beam goes up and bounces across the ceiling beams without touching the second refractor, landing on the third statue. Melee the source crystal — an Elite Doppelghast spawns this time.

Finish: take the Light Canister to the Director’s Quarters workbench, insert it, then hold interact with any Mk2 to craft the MKII-P.

Place an empty canister in the yellow device in front of Speed Cola. One or two Abominations spawn in the henge below the steps.

Do not kill them yet — you need them alive to charge the stones, and killing them early just costs you the setup.

Bait each Abomination’s beam attack onto the three small rocks around the outside of the circle — not the big stones. A zapped rock glows blue. Then bait its charge attack right next to each glowing rock, and the electrical discharge levitates it. Repeat until all three rocks are glowing and floating.

Confirmation cue: with all three floating the Abominations die and a lockdown starts — protect the central power siphon from zombies, parasites and vermin until the meter hits 100%.

Finish: take the Explosive Canister to the Supply Depot workbench underground, insert it, then hold interact with the Mk2 to craft the MKII-W.

Pick up the sconce part at the entrance to the elevator room and place it in the wall gap in the T-Rex room to complete an unlit lamp pair. Then Simon Says: one lamp flashes a pattern and you hold interact on the lamps to repeat it exactly — holding lights a lamp, stepping away submits. Three rounds, each adding one to the previous sequence, random every game and sometimes all one side. Finishing round three opens a hidden wall into the Distillery.

Charge the portal. While holding the MKII-W, interact with the device next to the portrait, then kill zombies with that weapon until the bar hits 100% — souls visibly fly into the painting. There is an ammo box nearby, and the step is timed: if it lapses, restart it. Walk through the painting; the ghost inside asks for a Nightcap.

The bell. Its spawn is randomised across the Study — behind the various glass cases, near the table, the statue, the tarpaulin. Smash all the glass and sweep the room holding interact; solo, a save-and-quit rerolls it. Get Brain Rot on any weapon from an Arsenal machine. At the Overlook bar upstairs in the T-Rex room, place the bell on its ghostly outline, brain-rot a zombie next to the bar, then tap the bell — the zombie hops the bar, pours a drink, and the Nightcap flask appears.

Return through the portal and place the flask on the plinth. Everyone is teleported in for a lockdown against an elite with a shield bubble that only the MKII-W can break. Break, dump damage, repeat four or five cycles. Then hold interact on the Sentinel Artifact.

Co-op gotcha: someone must still be holding the MKII-W or the step cannot start or progress.

The other guide: MrDalekJD instead finds the sconce part in a box outside the Banquet Hall and slots it next to Juggernog in the Grand Foyer.

Holding the MKII-P, interact with the computer next to the portrait in the Banquet Hall, charge the portal to 100% with MKII-P kills, and step through. Inside, note the three portraits with symbols and pick up the red Ritual Elixir bottle at the end of the dining table.

Now find three blood chalices around the map. Interacting with each spawns an Elder Disciple plus adds — kill everything, and a red symbol appears above the cup while a two-digit number appears back in the Banquet Hall.

The code: back in the Banquet Hall, read the three two-digit numbers off the left, back and right walls, left to right for a six-digit code, random every game. The safe is in the West Hallways in the Director’s Quarters wing — enter it left to right and take the Antler Carving.

Return to the liminal banquet hall and place the part. Lockdown against a shielded elite whose bubble only the MKII-P breaks. Kill it, then hold interact on the Sentinel Artifact.

The other guide: MrDalekJD reads the two-digit numbers off the portraits themselves rather than the walls.

• Cup 1 — the wine-barrel room, on the side
• Cup 2 — the Overlook sofa opposite the T-Rex skeleton, up the stairs
• Cup 3 — on the bench in Garden Pond; its Disciple spawns on the bridge

Holding the MKII-R, interact with the computer left of the Library portrait and charge the portal to 100% with MKII-R kills, then enter. The ghost inside gives audio clues to three items — the spawns are randomised per game, so actually listen to him.

The catch that defines this step: all three parts exist in the real world and can only be seen and picked up while in, or just after, Aether Shroud. Pop shroud and sweep several candidate spots per charge; Power Keg and Arsenal Accelerator help enormously. Solo, a save-and-quit rerolls the spawns if a part will not appear.

With all three parts, three books glow white on the real-world Library bookshelf. Activate them in the correct order until each glows blue.

Worth trying first: MrRoflWaffles’ symbol order — sideways six, then the circle with a line through it, then three dots. If that fails, let the books reset after about thirty seconds and try another order. Wrong or slow input only resets them; there is no other penalty.

The bookshelf opens a secret door — take the part inside. All players then enter the liminal library and place it, with at least one player holding the MKII-R. Kill the shielded elite, whose bubble only the MKII-R breaks, and hold interact on the Sentinel Artifact. It is now fully charged.

• Fireplace part — one of the East Foyer, Study, or Banquet Hall fireplace left of the elevator
• Audio recorder — the Overlook bar area or the desk left of it, on the briefcase just outside the Library portal, or in front of the portrait on the sofas
• Ledger — the desk at the top of the East Foyer staircase next to a briefcase, or the Study desk and table by the fireplace

Prep: weapons at tier-3 Pack-a-Punch and gold rarity, a Chopper Gunner crafted, Kazimirs or decoys, self-revives, and tens of thousands of points spare — there are no regular Max Ammo drops in the arena, so you buy from the ammo boxes. Perkaholic, Raindrops, Near-Death Experience and Shields Up all earn their slot. The Wunderwaffe DG-2 from the box is superb crowd control.

Interact with the panel in front of the S.A.M. AI in the Mainframe Chamber — team vote in co-op — for the cutscene and teleport.

Crit spots: the glowing eyes, the mouth when it opens to vomit acid, and above all the rib cage. When it eats a glowing zombie or sits to spawn adds, the ribs glow green and a Ray Gun Mk2 hit there does around 24–25k damage. Do not dawdle on that window — leave it too long and it spews green goo that permanently shrinks the arena.

Movement: never stand near it — the tail swipe will catch you. Rotate the arena continuously in one direction, dodging acid pools. If it chain-lunges at you, move backwards — strafing will not dodge it. If it flings you forward it halves your health, so back off immediately.

Phase transitions at 75%, 50% and 25%: the boss retreats to the cliff face and add-waves spawn for about 45 seconds each. MrRoflWaffles notes it stays damageable for a few seconds at the start of each retreat — sneak extra shots in. Each phase brings more and larger acid pools, faster movement and better tracking.

Chopper Gunner: solo, save it for the final phase — it trivialises it. Co-op, one per phase from phase 2 or 3 onward. The Wunderwaffe handles the add waves.
