The latest installment in the Black Ops series, Black Ops 6, presents a thrilling continuation of the Zombies narrative with the map *Citadelle Des Morts*. Here, players accompany their unconventional team as they escape from Terminus Island, aiming to locate Gabrielle Krafft and seize the coveted Sentinel Artifact before Edward Richtofen gets to it first. *Citadelle Des Morts* is not only visually stunning but also rich in secrets waiting to be discovered.
The Easter Eggs scattered throughout this map are some of the most imaginative yet, promising unique rewards tailored to players. From an elaborate main Easter Egg quest to a plethora of side secrets that grant free Perks, this guide will detail **all the Easter Eggs** that players can find in *Citadelle Des Morts*.
Main Easter Egg Quest
The principal Easter Egg quest transitions players into a high-stakes journey to locate the demonologist, Gabriel Krafft. Following their encounter, players will undergo a series of trials culminating in a demanding boss fight to earn an Amulet. This quest is designed to challenge even the most seasoned players, incorporating a variety of complex steps.
Maya’s Quest Easter Egg
Driven by vengeance following her brother’s death on Terminus Island, Maya is on a quest for revenge against Franco, who is holed up in the French Syndicate’s castle within *Citadelle Des Morts*. This side quest is exclusive to players using Maya as their Operator and, while it primarily contributes to the storyline, it grants a special reward: the GS45 upgraded to Legendary Rarity.
Elemental Sword Wonder Weapons
Acquiring the Elemental Bastard Swords may not traditionally be regarded as an Easter Egg, yet it plays a crucial role in the main quest, leading players toward some of the most formidable Wonder Weapons available in Black Ops 6 Zombies. These powerful swords can be obtained effortlessly by depositing a Stamp onto any of the four statues in the Dining Hall.
Once equipped with one of the Bastard Swords—namely Caliburn, Durendal, Solais, or Balmung—players can advance to upgrade it into an Elemental Wonder Weapon, each showcasing distinctive effects to enhance combat capabilities.
Fire Protector Easter Egg
The Caliburn fire sword offers a myriad of combat possibilities, but players should not overlook a handy side Easter Egg it unlocks. By finding and lighting four fireplaces using the sword across different locations—namely the Tavern, Sitting Rooms, Alchemical Lab, and Dining Hall—players can trigger a powerful flame assault on foes in the vicinity when the final fireplace is ignited.
Free Power-Ups
Rat King Easter Egg
For players keen to embrace their inner overlord of rats, the Rat King Easter Egg awaits activation. This begins by looting a wedge of cheese positioned on the north end of Town Square. Subsequently, players must find and feed ten scattered rats throughout *Citadelle Des Morts* with the cheese. Successful completion rewards players with an assortment of high-quality loot along with a regal crown.
Guardian Knight Chess Piece Easter Egg
Summoning aid in the form of the Guardian Knight Chess Piece can change the tides during combat. Players can achieve this by discovering a knight chess piece, which can spawn in one of four different locations, and delivering it to a chessboard located in the Sitting Rooms. Completing the ritual there allows players to summon this formidable ally against the undead. For players seeking assistance, a readily available guide can facilitate this step.
Bartender PHD Flopper Easter Egg
Obtaining a unique Perk in *Citadelle Des Morts* can be an exhilarating experience, especially through the Bartender Easter Egg. Players need to gather three bottles of alcohol and transport them to the Tavern in Town Square. Once gathered, a fun minigame ensues where players must serve drinks to zombies, culminating in the reward of the coveted PHD Flopper perk.
Mr. Peeks Free Perk Easter Egg
Unlike the previous Easter Egg, which grants the same Perk, the Mr. Peeks Easter Egg provides a delightful surprise—a random Perk instead! Completing this Easter Egg is straightforward; players must locate and shoot Mr. Peeks in four distinct areas across *Citadelle Des Morts*. Detailed guides are available for those who need help tracking down Mr. Peeks.
Raven Free Perk Easter Egg
During the quest to obtain the Dark Incantation, players will encounter a raven within the Oubliette Room Cave Slide. By shooting the raven twice, players acquire the Raven’s Talon. However, an alternative and more rewarding approach involves following the raven as it flies around. Eventually, it will drop a free random Perk, offering players a strategic advantage while saving Essence needed for later milestones in the main quest.
Wishing Well Easter Egg
For those seeking to boost their Essence reserves, the **Wishing Well Easter Egg** is invaluable. Players can journey to the Wishing Well located in Ascent Village during a special round, where they can defeat any Vermin that emerges, subsequently tossing a grenade into the well to collect 1,000 Essence. Additionally, players have the option to deposit their Essence into the well, sharing resources or doubling their rewards by using a Double Points Power-Up and tossing another grenade during a subsequent round.
Bell Tower Easter Egg
The Rampart Cannon may initially serve as a key to unlock the castle, but it later transforms into a means for rapid travel to the Town Square or the Dining Hall if repaired. An intriguing twist comes into play when players use the cannon to visit the Town Square a towering 100 times. This ritual prompts players to ring the bell tower, summoning all zombies within the vicinity and rewarding players with two Cymbal Monkeys. This Easter Egg has sparked curiosity and speculation within the community, especially considering hints in the reveal trailer suggesting further steps might be unveiled.
Music Easter Egg
Completing the easter egg lineup in *Citadelle Des Morts* is the captivating **Music Easter Egg**, which plays the enchanting tune *Slave* by Kevin Sherwood. To successfully trigger this Easter Egg, players must hunt down and interact with three distinct Mr. Peeks Headsets hidden throughout the map. Although it may not yield in-game rewards, it offers players an enjoyable music experience while they face the undead horde. A comprehensive guide is available to assist players in locating each headset.
As players delve into *Citadelle Des Morts*, they may discover even more hidden Easter Eggs beyond the ones listed here. It is advisable to return frequently for updates and insights into the evolving landscape of Easter Eggs in this thrilling map.
