Moon — Black Ops Zombies Easter Egg Guide

After power, at the four colour terminals outside Receiving Bay (Tunnel 6 / Olympia side), note their fixed left→right order — red, green, blue, yellow. Interact with any terminal to start the game. All four flash a colour together; press the terminal for that colour, then repeat as the sequence grows by one colour each round. It runs five rounds — each correct round flashes the terminals green, while a wrong input flashes all four terminals red and restarts this step. Clearing the fifth round rapidly flashes green and the screens go dark.

Grab the Hacker from one of six paper-marked spots across the three Lab floors (it replaces your PES, so don't take it into vacuum). On the middle Lab floor, hack any one of the row of four dim wall buttons (500 points) — this starts a ~60-second timer and lights four green terminals among eight possible spots (three lower floor, two middle, three upper). Hack every bright-green terminal, then race back and press all four wall buttons — they only need pressing in quick succession, so one player can hit all four solo (no simultaneous presses or four players required). The row sits near the Bowie Knife on the middle floor. If the wall lights go red, a terminal was missed or the timer ran out, and restarting costs another 500-point hack — re-hack a starter and retry.

Listen for excavator announcements and let Excavator Pi fully breach Tunnel 6 — don't confuse it with Omicron (Tunnel 11) or Epsilon (Biodome), and don't retract it early. After the breach (Tunnel 6 stays in vacuum), equip the Hacker on the matching Pi terminal in Receiving Bay to retract the arm; the Vril Sphere is now on the Tunnel 6 floor.

In Tunnel 6, knife the dark Vril Sphere and follow it, knifing again each time it stops (open any blocking doors — it can't pass debris). At the exterior satellite dish above Receiving Bay, shoot it with the combined Wave Gun (a normal gun or split Zap Guns won't work). When it lodges in the ceiling of the Stamin-Up / Tunnel 11 room, dislodge it — any weapon works here (a Ray Gun or a thrown grenade is just the easiest); only the earlier satellite-dish shot strictly needs the combined Wave Gun. Escort it into the MPD cavern, where it settles into the circular Vril Interface.

A glass canister rises at the base of the MPD — kill 25 zombies close to it (red soul streams into the tube confirm valid kills), then pull the lever on the right of the MPD. The pyramid opens to reveal Samantha, everyone gets a 90-second Death Machine, and Cryogenic Slumber Party unlocks. Solo / split-screen can stop here.

You need a Gersh Device and a QED (a player can hold one or the other, not both). In Area 51, grenade the two hexagonal Casimir plates off the shelf right of the teleporter, then Gersh them onto the pad and teleport back — they land in Receiving Bay by Quick Revive. Throw a QED at the grouped plates to move them onto the small machine in the corner opposite Quick Revive.

Find the small curved silver/copper S-shaped cable — a loose pickup that can be grabbed at any time, even before the quest starts. Spawns cluster in and just outside the Laboratory (multiple spots per lab room, on corners and tables), so check there first; the Deadshot stairs, Biodome exit, Tunnel 6 and exterior teleporter route are rarer fallbacks. Place it between the computer and the plate machine. The qualified Richtofen player then inserts the Golden Rod / Vril Device into the machine and presses the computer repeatedly until the screen turns green; take the supercharged device (Richtofen only).

If the computer stays red, the qualified profile isn't Richtofen, the CotD/Shangri flags are missing, the plates aren't seated, or the cable isn't installed.

At the opened MPD, four glass canisters rise around the pyramid — fill each with 25 close kills (100 total), one corner at a time until each is visibly full. Richtofen inserts the supercharged Vril Device into the front slot for the soul swap: he takes control of the Aether and gains all eight perks permanently (kept through downs).

Throw a QED at the Vril Interface in front of the MPD to launch the sphere back to the four colour terminals outside Receiving Bay. Complete three more Samantha Says games (longer patterns), each of which raises one of the three canyon rockets. Confirm all three rockets are up and Maxis has finished speaking before the final step.

Accounts differ slightly here — some guides describe a single, harder Samantha Says after the QED throw that raises all three rockets together. Either way the finish condition is identical: all three rockets up before the final Gersh.

Throw a final Gersh Device beside the Vril Sphere at the terminals — it's pulled in, the three rockets fire at Earth and destroy it (the Earth/Area 51 skybox changes permanently).
