ALL YOU NEED GUIDE TO SHAOLIN SHUFFLE
Introduction
Below is a map that was posted by FranktownDippers on reddit that I'm going to be using. It's not the most pleasing to look at, but it gets the job done!
Something I hope you'll enjoy and appreciate is that a lot of the graphics in this guide are my own personally created graphics (This map has a ♥♥♥♥ ton of references you need to complete the Main Quest). So hopefully all of the resources in the guide are helpful to completing whatever you need to complete :)
This is my third guide for Infinite Warfare Zombies and I'm about half way done now to completing guides for all of the maps! Hopefully soon I'll have the Attack of the Radioactive Thing guide up but until then, enjoy the guide and I hope its helpful!

Power & Pack-a-Punch
- In Spawn directly across from Up N' Atoms
- Down the stairs from Racin Stripes in the same area where Deadeye Dewdrops machine is.
- On the roof of the Disco Inferno to the left of the Quickes machine
- In the second subway area on the opposite side of Bang Bangs
- Directly outside the Pink Cat on the sidewalk
- Outside the Dojo on a trashpile
- On the roof of the Disco Inferno on a stool
- To the right of Racin Stripes on the rooftops
Double Pack-a-Punch
Double Pack-a-Punch is fairly easy to set up for this map, however, you can not set up double pack until you have gotten to Round 5 as you'll need to use one of the Chi's to open up the fast travel doors.
- On top of the rooftops near below Racin' Stripes.
- To the left of the Blue Bolts perk machine outside the Pink Cat
Once the doors are open, make sure you have setup pack a punch (Look above for that guide). Once everything is setup, you're ready to start double pack.
Here's a video for reference
Down there, you'll see electricity sparking from the tracks. Get on the tracks and interact with the electricity to place the fuses (I typically do it on the side closest to Bang Bangs). Watch out for the Train!
Once the train has passed over the placed fuses, the fuses will be charged and can be placed in the Pap machine!
Chi Fighting Styles
Chi's are special "weapons" the player can obtain after reaching round 5 in the game. After reaching round 5, simply talk to Pam Greer in the Black Cat Dojo and the chi's will become active. The player can choose any Chi Gourd they want and can switch at anytime as long as another player isn't using it.
Each Chi doesn't differ too much aside from the animations and the Chi power. Each Chi can be leveled up to obtain different moves and powers.
- Melee kill 15 Zombies using the Crane Style
- Kill 25 Zombies using the Shuriken
- Kill 50 Zombies using the Chi Power
- Melee kill 15 Zombies using the Dragon Style
- Kill 25 Zombies using the Shuriken
- Kill 50 Zombies using the Chi Power
- Melee kill 15 Zombies using the Snake Style
- Kill 25 Zombies using the Shuriken
- Kill 50 Zombies using the Chi Power

- Kill 25 Zombies using the Shuriken
- Kill 50 Zombies using the Chi Power
Buildable Mahjong Tiles
Around the map you'll be able to find Mahjong Tiles with pictures of traps on them such as Sentry Guns and "Zom-B-Gone." Bring 3 of these tiles with the same picture on them to the table that has the same mahjong tiles and you'll be rewarded with the trap.

Main Quest - Part I
You'll need to follow this rat as it goes into other rat cages around the map. Once the rat enters a new cage, Throw a Shuriken at the cage to release it again. Once you've done enough cages, the final cage will spawn a Large yellow circle.
Kill zombies inside in the circle. When the circle disappears, Shaolin zombies will spawn in. Kill the Shaolins and a key will spawn where the Large yellow circle was.
Take the key to the lockers in the subway near Bang Bangs and it will open a locker with symbols inside saying "Soul Key"
- Outside spawn to the right of the Dojo (Symbol on the left)
- Bathroom in the Disco Inferno (2nd symbol from the left)
- Near the lion statue next to Deadeye Dewdrops
- Next to 3
After talking to Pam, you'll need to find 6 orange Rat King symbols around the map. Pressing your tactical grenade button will activate the eye and activate a temporary vision that will allow you to see the symbols in the map. Only 1 symbol spawns in at a time and can spawn in any order. There are 13 locations the symbols can spawn:
- In the Dojo above the door
- In the window of a Barber Shop next to the dojo to the right of the stairs leading to the subway
- In the spawn area behind the train
- Behind a speaker in the Hebbie Geebies bar
- In a window on the roof near the dojo
- To the right of the Ripper Wallbuy on another building
- On a clothes line near the Magic Wheel near Deadeye Dewdrops
- In the left corner in the blue room near Trail Blazers (You need to jump to see it)
- Outside the Disco Inferno on the side of the sign closest to the Magic Wheel
- On a water tower at the roof of the Disco Inferno
- On top of an air duct in the Disco Inferno (Can only be seen from the roof)
- On a cop car outside the map coming out of the VIP room in the Disco Inferno behind Bombstoppers
- Behind the stairs on the side of Bang Bangs, Requires you to jump a bit
Every 5 beeps in a number. Short beeps are represented by a Dot (.) and long beeps are represented by a dash (-). There are a total of 6 combinations you can hear.
After determining the number from the phone, these numbers will correspond to a Nightmare Summer Poster in the map. You need to collect the poster that has YOUR number on it. There are 6 locations for the posters. PAY ATTENTION TO THE NUMBER IN THE BOTTOM LEFT. Trying to collect the wrong poster will result in you having to collect the rat king symbols again. Here are the locations of the Posters:
- To the left of the side door entry to the Black Cat Dojo
- On the left wall at the bottom part of the spawn area
- On a wall on the right side of the bottom part of the train station near Bang Bangs
- On the wall opposite of Bombstoppers
- On the Disco Inferno rooftop opposite Quickies
- On the rooftops near the Dojo. Will be on your right on the right side of the wall next to the Magic Wheel
Once you've collected your poster, Make your way to the rooftop of the Disco Inferno and place the poster on the Spotlight on the roof.
ㅤ
The spotlight will make a shadow with an X on the window on the other side of the roof. Using some explosive (Either the upgraded Kendall, or a grenade) blow the X. This will spawn a bunch of Shaolin Zombies on the rooftop. Kill the Shaolins and you can begin the Word Step.
ㅤ
Main Quest - Part II
ㅤ
Essentially, you are playing a game of Hangman and you want to guess the correct word to move on to the next step. However, the symbols that represent letters are in Wylard language, so you'll need a reference to translate the symbols. The Section "Main Quest - Word List" will have all the resources you need as well as a list of confirmed words.
Start by looking at what letter you have on the wall. That alone should weed out majority of the words. Then look at the second letters for those words and see which of those letters appear as symbols on the rooftop. Keep doing this method of elimination and this step shouldn't be too much of a hassle.
Below are the locations of the symbols on the rooftopOnce you've guessed the correct word, the Gong completion sound will go off and you can move to the next step.
After speaking with Pam, you'll notice a burn mark in the Top left of the screen flashing. This signifies that after 3 rounds, the film will break and will progress you 3 rounds. Simply just use this time to get some setup done.
Once the film "breaks" and places you in front of the Dojo, make sure to kill all the zombies and pick up the golden Turnstyle before leaving the area.
ㅤThis time however, you'll need to fill up multiple of these rings and the rings will move after a few kills. Once it moves, just roam around the map till you find the next one. The make a pretty loud noise and are very bright, so finding them shouldn't be a problem.
Once you've filled enough circles, you'll hear the gong completion sound and can move on to the Disco hot potato step.
The goal with this is to kill the zombie with the Disco ball above its head only when another zombie is on the checkered floor. Do this enough times until you hear the gong sound and you can move the to the last Rat king fight before the main boss fight.
Once you are setup, talk to Pam in the Dojo. After talking to Pam, entering the Rat King Lair at anytime will trigger the boss fight.
Main Quest - Rat King Boss Fight
ㅤ
This boss fight has 3 main stages and allows you to do them in any order. There is also a damage phase to start, in between each main stage, and is the final stage.
The damage phase is pretty self-explanatory. Damage the Rat King until he sinks into the ground and spawns the items for you to pick up, or if you're on the final stage, until he dies.
Completing each of the main phases rewards the player with a Max Ammo.
ㅤ
Probably one of the more difficult phases, placing the heart will spawn piles of green slime around the area. The goal of this step is clear the slime before Willard Wyler respawns the slime. You clear the slime by standing in the slime and killing a zombie on the pile of slime. However, staying in the slime too long will begin to cause damage.
This step requires a bit of patience and pacing.
This phase is by far the easiest. Simply do nothing. Just run around the arena until the phase is complete. Don't kill anything.
The goal of this phase to have the blue eyed zombies attack the brain. Using the Shurikens on the Rat King's staff when he goes to kill the zombies can make the phase go by quicker, but it's not necessary.
This step isn't too difficult. You simply just need to keep activating the eye to enter the Rat Vision and shoot the symbols in the room. The Rat King will throw more symbols out into the room, so you're goal is to clear them all before he has time to throw more out.
This one also requires a bit of patience and pacing. Just be persistent and quick and this phase will go by fairly quickly.
Main Quest - Word List
This entire step is a lot of guess and check. But if you stick to using the word list below along with the alphabet translation picture, you'll be good and should have this step done in no time.

Obtaining the Katana
Obtaining the Nunchucks
NOTE: You cannot do this Easter Egg as Pam Grier. You'll need to be one of the main 4 characters. If you're in Director's Cut, the Nunchucks should already be in the Magic Wheel.
You'll want to start by fully opening up the map, as well as making sure that you open all of the doors and fast travel portals with the Chi Ability. I'd also recommend getting Racing Stripes as well as having the upgraded Kendall 44 to start this side quest. Once you've gotten everything setup, we can start with the actual quest.
Below is a short video showing the location of these clocks and which items you need to hit when you activate them.
- Andre - Activate this TV in Heebee Geebee's
ㅤ - Sally - Activate this TV in the Subway in Spawn
ㅤ - Poindexter - Activate this TV on Roof above Racin' Stripes
ㅤ - A.J. - Activate this TV to the left of Blue Bolts
You'll need to find the TV for your character and activate the TV. You want to keep activating it until the picture of the your character appears on the screen. Once you get your picture, Shaolin zombies will begin to spawn. Kill them and flip to the next round and repeat this step.
Once you've completed this Easter Egg, the Nunchucks will always been in the Magic Wheel.
Secret Calling Card - Billionaire's Treasure Hunt | Trolltastic
Normally, I wouldn't do just a video for sections in this guide, however, this felt more appropriate to have a full video guide made. So below is a short video on how to complete this calling card.
Also, the first step of this Easter Egg is technically also the Music Easter Egg, so if you want to get the music easter egg, you just need to find all the radios at the beginning.
NOTE: YOU NEED TO DO THIS EASTER EGG WHEN IT IS 12AM (MIDNIGHT) NEW YORK CITY TIME (Eastern Standard Time). SO CONVERT MIDNIGHT EASTERN TO WHATEVER TIMEZONE YOU LIVE IN TO KNOW WHAT TIME YOU CAN DO THIS EASTER EGG. THE EASTER EGG IS ONLY ACTIVE DURING 12AM - 1AM EASTERN TIME.

Conclusion and Links to Other Guides
This guide was by far the longest one to complete so far, especially for the main quest since the quest requires quite a bit of outside references to complete it. Hopefully I was able to do the map justice.
I'm pretty sure that I've added everything for Shaloin Shuffle, so I'm confident in saying that this guide is complete. However, if there's anything I missed in the guide that you think I should add, please feel free to let me know in the comments.
Things added (Updated 7/1/2023):- Billionaire's Treasure Hunt / Trolltastic Secret Calling Card
- Music EE (Technically apart of the Billionaire's Treasure Hunt)
- The Nunchuck EE has been added! :)
I hope you all have enjoyed and I hope you are all doing well :)
