steps in the easter egg

Side Objectives:

process will guarantee you a Death of Orion.
○ Knife a challenge banner
○ Complete the first three challenges to get Cauldron
○ Shoot the bowl with fire in between Danu/Ra altars
○ Check the arrow on the Danu/Ra altar bridge to see where the head will spawn;
the head will always be on the bottom floor of each God altars
■ Note: If you know the spawn locations of the stone head then you can be
checking while clearing your way through all the temples but you will not
be able to pick it up until after you tip over the bowl of fire.
○ You will need the chain and gear for the acid trap:
■ Both in the temple (PaP room) in adjacent corners of the walkways
○ Build the acid trap and place head in the trap; proceed to melt the face and get
the scorpion!
○ Get that crowd affinity and wait for them to throw the bowl to you
■ Note: Using subtitles will make it easier to know when you have
completed this step
○ Proceed to the bottom of the Danu altar and place the scorpion and bowl in the
tree to collect the poison sap
○ Wait for the round to end to collect the poison
○ Poison the mystery box and the first roll will get you a Scorpion Gun!!!
Easter Egg Steps:
● 1) Dude, that kills people!
○ Have a gladiator throw his ax at the fire stacks in the arena
○ Pick up the piece of wood that is dropped on the ground after the ax is
thrown
○ Place this piece of wood above the cauldron at the bottom of Odin’s altar
○ Come back in 3 rounds to get charcoal where the wood was

● 2) Skull Retrieval; Specialist Weapon required

○ You will need to find the skull that is lodged into the wall of the temple
room (Blue symbol on forehead)
○ Once you find it, activate your special weapon and it will fall on the
ground.

● 3) Grind that Skull; Death of Orion/Serket Kiss

○ Place the Skull in the grinder located in the corners of the flooded crypt
room
○ Shoot the grinder with a charged shot from the Death of Orion/Serkets
Kiss x3 (Wait between shots to conserve ammo)
○ Retrieve the powder remained after the Skull is grinded

● 4) Piss off the crowd

○ Get negative crowd affinity by throwing grenades into the crowd, running
through fire or just being terrible
○ Wait for the crowd to throw feces at you and then pick it up
○ Note: Only one person has to have a bad affinity for this to work

● 5) That is some good shit!

○ Put these together in the bowl near the bloodbath at the bottom of Zeus’
altar
○ Come back after 3 rounds to get your mixture of fertilizer
● 6) Appease Danu; Weapon with ​Fire Bomb,​ “Lil Homies” aka ​Homunculus​’
○ Place the fertilizer on the ground in the center of the bottom floor of the
Danu altar
○ After 2-3 rounds (the fertilizer will emit green smoke), you will need to kill a
zombie above the fertilizer with the ​Fire Bomb​ weapon creating glowing
blue symbols around the fertilizer
○ All team members must stand above the fertilizer and hold the action
button (may need to use a specialist weapon)
○ Once teleported into a new dimension, shoot the red spores (x3) on the
trees until they burst and move up to the next floor. There will be LOTS of
zombies so Lil Homies are recommended (You will get a max ammo after
the first 2 spore bursts)

● 7) This is BULL; Brazen Bull

○ Shoot 4 bull symbols around the map with the fire mode of the Brazen
Bull, located:
■ Above Spawn in the arena
■ Off the Bridge between the Zeus/Odin altars
■ Near hanging leaves at the Zeus/Odin underground entrance
■ Through a broken wall in the Pit
■ In a window of the Ra Burial Chamber
■ Doorway in Danu Tunnel (Middle floor)
■ Near wooden door in Flooded Crypt
■ Behind barrier in Danu altar (Top floor)
■ Temple on the upper level
○ Kill the gladiator that spawns after each symbol is shot
■ Note: The gladiator will sometimes spawn elsewhere on one of your
teammates while in co-op so be prepared even if you are not
shooting the symbols personally

● 8) Appease Ra
○ Have all teammates go to the top floor of Ra’s altar and hold action button
the blue symbol across the room from Ra
○ Once teleported into a new dimension, transcribe the four symbols on the
pillar rapidly and kill the special zombies in the order of the symbols
appearing bottom to top (Check image for reference)
○ Do again to complete the step, there should be a total of 8 symbols on the
pillar
 ○
[There is one symbol that was added in a recent update. This is for
the Blight Father.]

● 9) Screw You!
○ Go to the center of the arena and hold the action button on the column
with the four light up symbols. You will be teleported to the flooded crypts
and this will start a massive horde of zombies until you finish the next
step.
○ Shoot the screws in windows until they go completely up into the surface,
locations:
■ In Cursed Room
■ In Danu Tunnel
■ In Collapsed Tunnel
■ In Odin Tunnel

● 10) Appease Zeus; Weapon with ​Kilo Watt

○ Kill enemies with the ​Kilo Watt​ modifier in circles around the arena to feed
their souls to the 4 glowing orbs that rest above the outside of the arena.
■ Note: Yeeting Homonculus’ in the circles speeds up the process
○ Hold the action button on the glowing orbs, simultaneously, in the center
of the arena where the challenge podiums were previously located.
○ Survive the horde of gladiators in the ‘bloody’ arena for approximately 2
minutes; recommended to turn on ​Zombie Cartoon Mode​ to reduce lag!
● 11) Trick Shot? Dick Shot!; Death of Orion/Serket’s Kiss
○ Line up the three blue symbols on the wall and shoot a shot through all
three with the same shot, locations:
■ Danu Tunnel
■ Crypts
■ Pit
○ You know you have done this once they all glow blue together

● 12) Appease Odin - My Water Broke!

○ Have all teammates stand on the grate beside the water drain in the Pit, to
trigger a wave-based horde of zombies and zombie bosses
○ Once the zombie waves are completed, pick up the key that is left on the
water grate.
○ Note: Zombies may be lurking around corners so throw grenades to kill
‘stuck’ zombies to progress

● 13) Boss Fight - Slay the Fury & Wrath (Fat Elephants)
○ Initialize the fight by going to the portal in the arena adjacent to the spawn
tunnel
○ Tips for the fight:
■ Max ammo power-ups are permanent
■ The Boss arena is massive so use your space efficiently
○ Combat Strategy:

focus fire to the elephant's forehead
■ Riders throw spears and can be shot off the elephant
■ Beware of the elephant’s attacks:
● Charge attack

● Ground Spell/Quake attack
● Extra
○ If you complete the easter egg in under 100 minutes, (1 hour and 40
minutes) you will unlock a dark ops challenge titled ​Sands of Time​.
