Shi No Numa — World at War Zombies Easter Egg Guide

The four original perks randomise among Fishing Hut, Doctor's Quarters, Storage and the Comm Room each match. The closed door doesn't say which is inside — open one at a time and note it, prioritising the hunt for Jugger-Nog.

The map's signature wonder weapon debuts here, from the Mystery Box — a chain-lightning gun that wipes a whole train. With no Pack-a-Punch, conserve its shots for dense lines and emergencies.

Special rounds of teleporting Hellhounds first appear on Shi No Numa. Regroup in a hut with backs apart so one lunge can't hit everyone, and reload before the last dog — it drops Max Ammo.

A rotating spiked-log trap on the path outside the main hut (750). It sweeps the whole lane and kills players as easily as zombies — hold the safe side, feed the horde in, and wait for the logs to fully stop before crossing. Full steps below.

1. Find the large rotating wooden trap on the path outside the main hut — its spiked logs sweep the whole lane.
2. Clear all players (and any downed teammate) off the path — the Flogger downs players too; don't count on crouching under it.
3. Activate for 750 and hold the safe side, feeding the horde into the logs.
4. Wait for the logs to come to a full stop before crossing — a slowing animation is not a safe cue, and the trap has a cooldown.

A 1,500-point ride linking Doctor's Quarters to the upper main hut — up to four riders, but anyone off the platform is left behind and the moving line can down players underneath. Full steps below.

1. Activate the zipline control outside Doctor's Quarters to enable the platform between the hut and the upper main building.
2. Get every rider fully onto the platform — up to four ride, and anyone not on it when it starts is left behind.
3. Pay 1,500 to ride between Doctor's Quarters and the Warning Room / upper main hut.
4. Keep the ground path clear — the moving line downs players and kills zombies underneath; don't start it while a teammate is crossing below.

Each hut route has an Electro-Shock Defense switch (1,000) — a timed lethal arc that doubles as high-round ammo when the DG-2 is dry. It downs players too, so never trap the only route to a downed teammate.

Elena Siegman ft. Kevin Sherwood — the first World at War map with a secret achievement (Dead Air) tied to a musical Easter egg. Interact with the black telephone in the Comm Room three times. Full steps below.

1. Open the path to the Comm Room and go in through the main doors of the communications building.
2. Turn into the second interior room and look immediately left for a table under a bright white light.
3. Find the old black telephone on the table and stand close enough that each press gets a dialling/static response.
4. Interact three times in a row — you may hear a voice cue referencing “9-1-1” and sleeping before the music. After the third, “The One” begins; only this telephone is involved (no meteors or other phones).
5. On supported console versions the secret Dead Air achievement/trophy unlocks from this activation — the song starting is the universal completion marker.

Three World at War radios in the starting building assemble a message to the operative Peter (McCain) — activate all three in any order: on a barrel by the Arisaka wall-buy, on a shelf by the blocked staircase, and on a box by the Gewehr wall-buy. One of the earliest story-intel chains in Zombies; no reward.

Take the Storage route out of the central building and look past the small shed, beyond the playable barrier, for a large red meteorite — shoot it and a character comments on it. A nod to the element that started everything.

In Doctor's Quarters (the end of that swamp route), find the bookcase tied to Richtofen's diary and press the action button — a maniacal laugh plays as the confirmation cue.

Added in the Black Ops re-release. Activate one radio each in the Comm Room, Storage Hut and Doctor's Quarters (the Doctor's device is on a crate in the outside shelter) to hear Ultimis discuss travelling from Der Riese to the future. Lore only. Full steps below.

1. A Black Ops re-release extra (not in the 2008 original). Activate one radio in each of three huts — Comm Room, Storage Hut and Doctor's Quarters — in any order.
2. The Doctor's Quarters device is in the outside shelter section of the hut, on a crate in the corner just before the door.
3. These huts hold more than one audio object, so interact at close range and let each clip finish. Use the Doctor's radio last for the clearest playback.
4. Once all three register, Ultimis discuss travelling from Der Riese to the future — lore only, no weapon or perk.

Mule Kick (fixed in the main hut) and the “Backtracing” radio message are Black Ops additions. The Samantha doll / hanging-plate second song and its free Max Ammo are Black Ops 3 / Zombies Chronicles; the separate Shi No Numa Reborn main quest is the Vanguard map (in this codex under Vanguard).
