It turns out that you can beat the Terminus Main Quest boss and complete the Black Ops 6 Zombies Easter Egg without even leaving Round 1!
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has two incredible round-based Zombies maps for players to explore – but by now, most players have already seen everything they have to offer.
Fans have gone over both Terminus and Liberty Falls with a fine-toothed comb, in an attempt to discover all the secrets that the Zombies maps are hiding.
And now that the secret-hunting is complete, the latest trend appears to be beating Easter Egg Main Quests without leaving Round 1.
How to Complete Terminus Easter Egg on Round 1
Although Black Ops 6 players might think it impossible, some talented Zombies players are discovering that it is actually viable to complete the entire Terminus Easter Egg on Round 1.
The important things to note are as follows:
- In past Round 1 attempts, Black Ops 6 Zombies players have discovered that the game will progress to Round 2 when entering the Terminus Boss Fight.
- To prevent the game from progressing to Round 2 you need to have a large amount of zombies still alive when heading through the final door.
- You can complete a surprisingly large number of Easter Egg steps before turning on the final AMP Machine to restore the power.
- Before you turn on the power, there is no bleedout timer for zombies, meaning you’ll be able to remain on Round 1 indefinitely.
Therefore, the goal is to complete as much of the Easter Egg as possible without activating the final AMP Machine to turn on the power.
Simultaneously, players must also be careful not to eliminate any zombies, other than those spawned in for specific events (such as inside the Shipwreck or the undead that attack the AMP machines).
Also, while this method is entirely possible without GobbleGums, using Wunderbar! is almost essential, as it’ll help you get the Beamsmasher before the power is turned on, without relying on Mystery Box RNG.
Having Hidden Power to upgrade your weapon without the need for Salvage, and Wall Power to Pack-a-Punch your next Wall Buy are similarly helpful. And without Perkaholic to grant you all the Perks, you’ll certainly struggle to stay alive in the final boss fight!
If you don’t fancy grinding for the game’s highest-tier consumables, you can now buy Black Ops 6’s most powerful GobbleGums outright!
In order to gather enough zombies to stop the round changing when you enter the final fight, you’ll also need to go out of your way to wake up ‘sleeping’ zombies from around the map.
This includes digging up all the buried treasure spots for their chance to spawn Vermin, opening the briefcase in the Sea Tower to bring forth a host of Parasites, and beginning the Spores Easter Egg.
