Some info before starting

This Guide will assume some things
  • Some knowledge on the Easter Egg of the map
  • Knowledge of Zombies lingo (like PAP, Gobblegum, Wonder Weapon etc.)
  • Knowledge of map location names
  • Knowledge of Character names for certain steps
  • If a map requires multiple players to complete, It will say so before the steps
  • If a map requires pre-game setup (like "Zetsubou No Shima" needing "Anywhere But Here") it will be put before listing anything else
If you want to see full extensive guides on all the maps (including ones not listed here), then check out FreeMetal's Guides. They include side Easter Eggs (like songs and free drops) as well as map overviews and Achievement Info that this guide won't be touching on (as this only touches on the main Easter Eggs that exist).

The maps are listed as they are in-game.

Shadows of Evil

Requires 4 players for the final step

Shield part locations
Canals: Top/Window
Footlight: Middle/Body
Waterfront: Bottom/Air Tanks

Whilst doing this next step, make sure to open up the Rift doors (and optionally the egg statues)
Rituals (opening pack)
Summoning Key - Spawn
Fountain Pen - Junction
Police Badge - Canals
Wig - Footlight
Champion Belt - Waterfront

After the rituals are done, head to the underground and open the pack (open the wall and then interact with the altars).

The Swords
Take the tram for the 3 symbols in each district (Different every game)
Enter Beast mode and zap the 3 symbols, grabbing your egg
If you hadn't already, break the 4 boxes that the statues are in
Grab your egg and fill the 4 statues (soul boxes)
Go back underground and grab your sword

Upgrading the Swords
Depending on your character, you will need to head to different areas
Nero - Spawn Ritual Area
Floyd - Waterfront Ritual Area
Jackie - Canals Ritual Area
Jessica - Footlight Ritual Area
Grab your egg and do the 4 ritual circles (1 per round (each ritual circle are in the different districts))
After the 4 rounds and rituals are done, head back to your ritual area and grab your upgraded sword.

After all players have their upgraded sword, head to Nero's ritual room (spawn) and interact with the book on the floor. After this the flag will spawn in the underground.

Flag Step
I recommend having the wonder weapon, shield and Civil Protector
Take the flag around the map and defend it from the "meatballs" and shadow man.
Every district has 2 spots to defend. After they are both done, head to the respective ritual room and interact with the keeper.

Trapping the Shadow Man
Head to pap and interact with the 4 keepers on the altars and then have someone stand near the table.
When the shield drops, shoot the Shadow Man till he gets above the table, at which point interact with the table and trap him in the summoning key.

Final Step
3 players enter beast mode and stay at each tram station.
The last player stays human and calls the tram.
The 3 Beasts zap their respective boxes whilst the tram is going.
Finally, one of the beast players head back to Junction and electrify the ghost keepers.

This is the final step of the easter egg and will start the cut scene.

When all 4 skulls are clean and placed back at the main altar, head underneath and complete the soul box to unlock the Skull of Nan’sapwe

Trials
Where you do the Skull step, there will be 3 trials that need to be done for each player. Completing them allows the altar to be struck by lightning which is needed for future steps.

KT-4
To get the wonder weapon you need 3 parts
  • Spider Venom - Lower the cage in Lab A, get a spider trapped in there and re-interact with the control panel to get the venom
  • Green Flask - After turning power on, play near Lab B and you will find a Green glowing zombie, kill him and pick up the flask

  • Door to the left of entering the bunker (behind the Elevator)
  • The Wall in the green specimen tank room, on your left after going down the stairs

Masamune (KT-4 Upgrade)
To upgrade the KT-4 to the masamune, you will need another 3 parts
  • Spiders tooth - Complete the spider boss fight and pick up her tooth
  • The rainbow flower - Enter the sewer with an empty bucket. Spam interact when passing the 115 meteor to pick up the rainbow water.

Second Part: between the Bunker and the Infirmary
Third Part: around the Armoury

OPTIONAL Upgrading Shield
To start, get 50 kills with the fire blast or shield bash attacks
Next, stay in fire for a certain number of time (until a sound plays)
With the fire blast, hit 3 purple symbols at each dragon call location
  • To the left in dragon control room
  • On the roof in supply depot
  • On the shoulder of the tank factory robot
Finally, head to the dead dragon in spawn and place the shield in its corpse, getting the upgraded shield shortly after

Dragon Strike Controller (And Upgrade)
Head to PAP area, on the upstairs area there is a console. Each player in the game must interact with it, doing so starts a lockdown.
After finishing the lockdown, head back to the console and get your dragon strike controller

OPTIONAL Upgrading the Dragon Strike Controller
To start you need to hit a number of flags equivalent to the players in the lobby
The flag locations are as follows:
In Spawn near Quick Revive
In the tank factory

Once finished, head back to where we did the lockdown and do another lockdown again, using the dragon strike controller once per wave. If done correctly, you can get the upgraded dragon strike.

Trophy Step

  • In supply depot next to the mystery box spot
  • In infirmary. Next to the beds when going down the building
  • In Tank factory, facing the metal stairs
  • In department store, on the top floor
Inside one of these will be the code cylinder, with another valve having a green light.
Blue means its receiving air and white means its not.
The green light is the start of the circuit and the code cylinder valve the end.
To do this step, go to this website (https://www.kronorium.com/blackops3/gorodkrovi/) for easy assistance, otherwise externally you can learn the pattern online.
When its successful, you can pick up the code cylinder from the last valve.

Random Challenge Step
Go to S.O.P.H.I.A and shoot the word (from top to bottom) “KRONOS”, interacting with her afterwards
Place the 6 trophies in position opposite of S.O.P.H.I.A and interact with the command console, starting a random challenge. You must play through all 6 challenges, with the first 5 having a random order. The challenges will be one of the following:
  • Bomb Defusal - Defuse 6 bombs (3 in solo) around the map, the order of which will be shown on the monitor. Write down the order and go around and defuse the bombs.
  • Yellow Orb - The soul of gersh will spawn somewhere and you need to shoot it with a PAP’d weapon until he stops speaking and then wait as he moves around. Repeat this till he gets to the Dragon Command trap
  • Friendly Mangler - Head to the highlighted area and find the mangler with green eyes. Escort him to the dragon command trap and be careful not to kill him.
  • Friendly Valkyrie - Same as the Mangler step just with a Valkyrie Drone
  • Groph Pod - A graph pod will spawn in one of the areas you ride the dragons (you will find it from the green beam). Protect it until it opens, sending the siegfried gauntlet dragon to pick up the part. Then head back to S.O.P.H.I.A to give her the part
The Final Challenge - Pick up the Card that spits out the Screen. Go to the PAP area and palace the card in the red computer. Do the lock down that ensues and once done pick up the card again.
Go back to S.O.P.H.I.A and give her the card. After a short Exchange, pick up the power core.

Boss Fight
Head back to spawn and send you dragon out to Nikolai who is stuck in his mech in the neighbourhood.
Head back to the dragon command and stand on the grid where S.O.P.H.I.A was and get sent to the boss fight
The first stage will be spent shooting the dragon and its weak spots

Revelations

Dragon Shield
First - Origins
Second - Der Eisendrache
Third - Verruckt

Keeper Protector
Flag - Origins or Mob of the Dead
Skull - Verruckt
Gem - Der Eisendrache or Kino

Optional
Best Mask: Margwa Head - Kill 5 Parasites, 5 Spiders, 5 Keepers, 10 Furies, 50 Zombies and 3 Margwas whilst in the stomach of the Apothicon, standing in the Green Bile and when there is Green Mist around
Upgrading Lil Arnies - Get 150 kills with the Arnies, then throw an Arnie into the window above the church in spawn.

Prerequisites
Unlocking PAP
Go around and do the 4 rituals/power soul boxes. Then head through one of the portals to Nacht Der Untoten and use the console when its flashing (when the Apothicon is flying by). Once in the Apothicon, shoot the three glowing balls on the side to unlock PAP.

Upgrading the Apothicon Servant
Get the apothicon servant from the box, then shoot 5 115 rocks with it
  • Shangri-La, above the Pyramid
  • Spawn, in the sky to the right (facing the portal)
  • Mob, in the sky to the left (facing the portal)
  • Verruckt, above the building when you are about to head to Mob
  • Verruckt, Above the portal (and a tad to the right)
Then you should be able to PAP the Apothicon Servant

Main Egg
Shoot the Graves outside the spawn room (on your left) from Richtofen, Dempsey, Takeo and Nikolai (left to right: 2-3-1-4, in the order they die during the cutscenes)

Keeper Rock Step
Find the Jagged rock in the bumper pad. Call the keeper protector and bring him to the opposite pad and use it. Then when next to the Jagged Rock, stand as deep as you can until the keeper starts his ritual. Protect him while he does this, Picking up the Audio Reel he drops and taking it to Nacht Der Untoten and playing it (besides Jug).

ARNIES GAMBLING YAY
Personally, I recommend bringing something that assists with hitting the box as I am unlucky
After getting Arnies, head to inside the Apothicon and throw 9 Arnies into the 9 holes in the Apothicon without leaving it. Kill the Margwas that spawn every 3 Arnies and then pick up the Audio Reel when done. Place it in Kino Der Toten (opposite of the teleporter).

Bone Pile Step
Next you need to shoot the 6 bricks around the map with a PAP’d gun, then shooting the bone that pops out with the PAP’d Apothicon Servant. They are located at:

  • Origins - Near the giant robot footstep
  • Shangri-La - Above Stamin-Up
  • Spawn - In the broken church
  • Der Eisendrache - Third wall along the wall ride section (bottom right when riding the wall)
Once done, go to Nacht Der Untoten and shoot the pile of bones with the Apothicon Servant, placing the reel that drops in Origins (excavation site).

Turret Reflection Step
Then shoot the 4 turrets out to the blue (115) rocks outside the map, reflecting the laser to Nacht (You'll know this is done when the game kicks you off the turret)
Interact with S.O.P.H.I.A (In Nacht) and she will head to Kino’s teleporter.
After taking the teleporter, Pick up the Kronorium from the bed and then place it on the podium on the kino stage.

Apothicon Egg Step
4 Eggs will spawn around the map, with only 1 being on the map at once (there are alot of locations, if you need them look at step 8 of this guide). Take them to the Apothicon and place them in one of the four corners in the acid.
After its complete, grab the worm and take it to either Spawn, Der Eisendrache, Verruckt or Mob and listen for a beeping noise, placing it there and picking up the rune that spawns.

Runes and Mini Boss Step
After all 4 runes have been gotten, all players must head to the projection room in kino.
After teleporting, Interact with the kronorium and memorise the 4 symbols and their sequence (easy way of doing this; holding tab, the symbols from left to right are numbered 1 to 4, then when the kronorium shows the order, type out which symbol is when. For example it shows 1 3 2 4)
With this, head to the other side of the room where the glowing symbols are and interact when the order of symbols appear.
Once all 4 symbols are appeared in Gold, 4 phases of elemental margwa battles will begin, Picking up the summoning key when it finishes.

Summoning Key Step
With the summoning key, you will need to throw it at 7 different items out of the map
  • Kino - The radio in the chandelier
  • Der Eisendrache - The Clock above the main room

  • Origins - A grave near the excavation site (before heading below the excavation site)
  • Mob of The Dead - A poster in a cell

  • Nacht Der Untoten - Red barrel near the truck
Afterwards, head back to Kino’s projector room and get ready for the boss fight.

Boss Fight (End of the Easter Egg)
In the boss room, interact with a pedestal in one of the 4 corners and charge the summoning key.
When its done, pick it up and throw it at S.O.P.H.I.A and she will destroy the Shadow Man’s shield
Then like Shadows of Evil, Shoot the Shadow Man until he is in the mouth of the Apothicon Statue, then interacting with the Kronorium to seal him and finish the Easter Egg

  • Directly to your left when coming from spawn, select the four dots
  • Far left when coming from spawn, select the three dots
  • Far right when coming from spawn, select the [ | -
The eclipse will end again if done correctly

Gong Step
Eclipse, again. Interact with the radio near the PaP staircase. Afterwards you will need to knife 4 of the 8 gongs on the map. If you knife the wrong gong, the crystals will glow red, when correct nothing will glow. The locations are as follow:
  • Near the brick prison and tunnel entrance
  • Same area, in front of the the tunnel entrance
  • On the left of the minecart entrance

When all correct gongs are hit, the crystals will glow yellow.
PaP the baby gun (if you hadn't yet) and have someone not using the baby gun stand underneath the crystal tower near the minecart entrance while the baby gun shoots it.
The person standing underneath needs to catch the dynamite before it touches the ground.

Shoot the focusing crystal above the mud maze with the baby gun.
Head up the PaP stairs and place the dynamite on the wall where the PaP machine was.

When its done, you just need to interact with the radio that appeared in the spawn, beneath the PaP stairs.

Step 6
Enter the crazy place and place all staffs in their respective places, kill zombies until there is a white flash on your screen at which you send the maxis drone up through the hole in the roof (you can also take back your staffs). When this is done, all players must stand in the middle and interact to finish the Easter Egg.
