Black Ops 3 Moon Easter Egg Complete Step By Step Guide
The remastered Moon map in Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Zombies Chronicles offers one of the most cinematic and rewarding main easter egg quests in the franchise. Players must manage low-gravity mechanics, atmospheric pressure, and random mystery box luck to complete Richtofen's Grand Scheme. This comprehensive walkthrough covers every step required to execute the full easter egg quest smoothly.
Essential Equipment and Map Setup
Before attempting the main quest steps, your team needs to power up Griffin Station and secure key equipment. Essential tools include the Wave Gun, Gersh Devices, a Quantum Entanglement Device, and the Hacker tool found inside the facility. Securing these items early minimizes round advancement and keeps the zombie threat manageable.
Players should also ensure that at least one player controls Richtofen, as his character model is required for specific terminal interactions. Managing oxygen levels with P.E.S. suits while navigating between pressurized zones is vital for keeping everyone alive. Careful coordination during the preparation phase sets up a smooth run through the remaining steps.
Unlocking the MPD and Filling Soul Canisters
The first major milestone involves overriding the computer systems near Tunnel 6 and clearing the path to the MPD pyramid. Interact with the terminal outside Tunnel 6 to play a memory sequence game, then use explosives or weapons to guide the floating Vril Sphere toward the pyramid. Once the sphere locks into place, a glass canister will rise beside the structure.
Eliminate zombies near the container to collect their souls until the cylinder is completely filled. Flip the switch next to the tube to open the pyramid and reveal Samantha Maxis trapped inside. Completing this phase awards all active players a temporary Death Machine power-up and unlocks the initial achievement.
Executing the Soul Swap and Launching Rockets
To proceed into the second phase, players must hack the computer terminals and insert the Vril Generator into the console. Return to the MPD to raise four additional soul canisters, which require a total of one hundred zombie kills to fill. Placing the supercharged Vril Generator into the pyramid triggers the iconic body swap between Richtofen and Samantha.
With Richtofen now in control of the undead, throw a QED at the Vril Sphere to shift it back to the computer station outside. Complete three increasingly complex rounds of the Simon Says memory game to target the lunar rockets. Finally, throw a Gersh Device directly at the sphere to trigger the countdown. The rockets will launch into deep space, devastating the Earth and finalizing the legendary easter egg quest.
