"The Tomb" is Black Ops 6 Zombies’ flagship Easter egg, blending Egyptian mythology with intense survival gameplay.
Set in a sprawling map divided into three zones—Desert Outpost, Sun Temple, and Underground Catacombs—the quest tasks players with retrieving ancient relics to confront Anubis, the god of the underworld. Success demands mastery of puzzles, crowd control, and boss mechanics. Below, we dissect every element in granular detail.
Pre-Game Preparation: Gear, Perks, and Loadouts
Weapon Recommendations
Primary Weapon:
HVR SMG (Pack-a-Punch Level 3): Ideal for mobility during parkour sections.
Titanium LMG: High ammo capacity for defense phases.
Wonder Weapon: Khopesh of Anubis
Unlocking Steps:
Head to the Sun Temple’s hidden chamber (behind a breakable wall marked by a scarab symbol).
Solve a 3-part puzzle:
Shoot 4 glowing scarabs on pillars (locations randomized each game).
Activate a lever to spawn the Scorpion King mini-boss.
Defeat the mini-boss (weak spot: tail stinger) to claim the Khopesh.
Combat Utility:
Charged attacks one-hit kill regular zombies.
Deals 400% damage to Anubis’ weak points.
Perks
Juggernog (Mandatory): Survive Anubis’ Phase 3 ground slams.
Speed Cola: Critical for reloading during the Scarab defense phase.
Stamin-Up: Essential for dodging sand tornadoes and parkour jumps.
Elemental Pop: Synergizes with the Khopesh for random elemental effects.
Equipment and Field Upgrades
Monkey Bombs: Distract zombies during relic defenses.
Energy Mine: Clear crowds in tight spaces (e.g., catacombs).
Aether Shroud: Use invisibility to revive teammates or escape boss attacks.
Squad Roles (4-Player Recommended)
Puzzle Lead: Focuses on symbol-matching and maze navigation.
Crowd Control: Runs LMG + Energy Mine to manage hordes.
Medic: Equips Healing Aura + Quick Revive for team sustain.
Boss DPS: Specializes in Wonder Weapon/explosives for Anubis.
Map Layout and Key Locations
Understanding the map’s zones is critical for efficiency:
Desert Outpost (Spawn):
Contains the starting journal and basic wall buys.
Central hub for returning to after relic collection.
Sun Temple (East):
Houses the Scarab of Ra and Khopesh puzzle.
High zombie spawn rates; avoid lingering without Juggernog.
Underground Catacombs (West):
Maze-like tunnels with traps. Memorize torch colors for safe paths.
Oasis Ruins (North):
Parkour section and Scepter of Horus.
Contains a workbench for upgrading armor.
Activating the Quest
Step 1: Locate the Journal
Location: Desert Outpost’s northwest corner, near a collapsed pillar with red hieroglyphics.
Action: Interact with the sparkling journal to trigger a dialogue from the Egyptian scholar NPC.
Step 2: Survive the Initiation Wave
Enemies: 3 waves of zombies + 2 Hellhounds.
Strategy:
Train zombies around the outpost’s central obelisk.
Save 1 zombie at the end to safely Pack-a-Punch.
Relic 1: Scarab of Ra (Sun Temple)
Step 1: Sun Temple Entry
Path: From Desert Outpost, head east through the Sandstorm Valley (watch for quicksand traps).
Enemies: Sarcophagus Zombies (armored). Use explosives or the Khopesh’s charged attack.
Step 2: Symbol-Matching Puzzle
Puzzle Mechanics:
Inspect the temple’s central chamber walls to find three glowing symbols (Scarab, Sun Disc, Ankh).
Activate pressure plates in the order shown on the walls:
Example: If the wall shows Scarab → Sun Disc → Ankh, slash those symbols on plates in the same order.
Common Mistake: Wrong order spawns a Poison Nova Zombie that explodes on death, dealing team-wide damage.
Step 3: Scarab Defense Phase
Duration: 2 minutes.
Enemies:
Regular zombies (30+).
4 Hellhounds (prioritize these).
1 Blightfather (shoot its glowing pustules).
Optimal Strategy:
Camp near the temple’s entrance for a choke point.
Use Monkey Bombs at the 1:00 and 0:30 marks.
Assign one player to focus on Blightfather with the Khopesh.
Relic 2: Ankh of Osiris (Underground Catacombs)
Step 1: Entering the Catacombs
Entrance: Located in the Market District beneath a trapdoor marked with a snake symbol.
Maze Navigation:
Blue Torches: Safe path markers.
Red Torches: Trigger traps (darts, fire jets).
Pro Tip: Use the Khopesh to slash suspicious walls—some conceal shortcuts.
Step 2: Retrieve the Ankh
Pedestal Chamber: Solve a 4-statue puzzle:
Shoot glowing eyes on statues in four adjacent tunnels.
Return to the chamber to unlock the Ankh.
Crawler Wave: Survive 60 seconds of fast, low-health zombies. Use the Energy Mine for crowd control.
Step 3: Ankh Holdout
Locked Chamber Mechanics:
Enemies:
2 Gladiators (weak spot: back).
1 Plaguehound (leaves acid pools).
Strategy:
Kite enemies clockwise around the chamber.
Use Aether Shroud to revive teammates safely.
Relic 3: Scepter of Horus (Oasis Ruins)
Step 1: Reaching the Oasis Ruins
Path: From the Desert Outpost, take the zipline north to the Cliffside Camp. Follow the path marked by crumbling statues to reach the ruins.
Enemies: Watch for Vulture Zombies (flying enemies that divebomb). Use SMGs or the Khopesh’s ranged charged attack.
Step 2: Parkour Challenge
Course Layout:
14 crumbling pillars span a bottomless pit. Each pillar collapses 3 seconds after being landed on.
Safe Pillars: Look for pillars with glowing handprints—these remain stable.
Jump Timing: Sprint jumps are mandatory. Hesitation leads to falls.
Pro Tips:
Pause briefly on safe pillars to recalibrate.
Use Stamin-Up for extended sprint duration.
Solo players can exploit zombie spawns: Let a zombie follow you to reset pillar collapses.
Step 3: Breaching the Blocked Door
Objective: Destroy rubble blocking the Scepter’s chamber.
Weak Point: A cracked section of the door marked by a golden Horus symbol.
Explosives Required: 2 grenades, 1 C4 charge, or 1 RPG shot.
Post-Breach: A Sand Golem spawns—a mini-boss with 5,000 HP.
Step 4: Sand Golem Fight
Attacks:
Sand Fist Slam: Close-range AoE. Dodge by backpedaling.
Quicksand Vortex: Creates a slowing zone. Move laterally.
Weak Spot: A glowing crystal embedded in its chest. Focus fire here for 2x damage.
Strategy:
Kite the Golem around the chamber while targeting the crystal.
Use the Khopesh’s charged attack for rapid DPS.
Step 5: Escape the Collapsing Ruins
After grabbing the Scepter, the ruins begin to collapse.
Escape Route: Follow green smoke flares—these mark safe exits.
Hazards:
Rolling boulders: Stick to the left wall.
Falling debris: Listen for audio cues (rumbling) and sprint ahead.
Summoning Anubis: Altar Mechanics
Step 1: Returning to the Central Tomb
Path: All players must regroup at the central tomb (marked by a giant Anubis statue).
Relic Placement Order:
Scarab of Ra (left slot).
Ankh of Osiris (center slot).
Scepter of Horus (right slot).
Step 2: Cutscene and Boss Prep
A 45-second cutscene plays, showing Anubis rising from the sands. Use this time to:
Refill Ammo: Use the nearby wall buy (recommended: RPG, LMG).
Drop Equipment: Share Monkey Bombs, C4, and healing items.
Reposition: Spread out to avoid AoE wipe attacks.
Anubis Boss Fight: Full Phase Analysis
Phase 1: Weak Point Assault
Anubis’ Attacks:
Sand Wave: A horizontal wave that crosses 75% of the arena. Dodge by moving to the sides.
Soul Harvest: Anubis raises his staff, pulling players toward him. Counter with Stamin-Up sprint or Aether Shroud.
Scepter Slam: A ground-pound that creates shockwaves. Jump to avoid.
Strategy:
Focus Fire: Target his chest crystal (2x damage) and eyes (1.5x damage).
Positioning: Stay at mid-range to avoid pull attacks while maintaining accuracy.
Weapons: Khopesh (charged attacks) + Pack-a-Punched LMG (e.g., Titanium LMG).
Phase 2: Sandstorm Chaos
New Mechanics:
Sand Tornadoes: Three tornadoes roam the arena. Contact deals 150 damage/sec.
Mummy Spawns: 6 mummies with grab attacks (insta-down if not freed in 5 seconds).
Anubis’ Beam Attack: Charges a laser from his staff—hide behind pillars.
Strategy:
Tornado Management: Designate one player to call out tornado paths.
Mummy Priority: Use shotguns or SMGs to quickly eliminate grabbers.
Beam Attack: Pillars near the altar provide cover.
Phase 3: Enraged Anubis
Trigger: When Anubis reaches 25% health, he enrages, gaining:
Double Attack Speed: Slams and waves occur twice as frequently.
Sand Clones: Two illusory clones spawn. Only the red-aura clone takes damage.
Quicksand Pools: Randomly spawn under players—keep moving!
Strategy:
Clone Focus: Ignore non-red clones; they despawn after 10 seconds.
Explosives: Save RPGs/C4 for burst damage during enrage.
Mobility: Constantly strafe to avoid quicksand and slams.
Post-Boss Survival: Sealing the Tomb
Final Defense Phase
Objective: Survive 2 minutes of infinite zombies while holding the altar.
Enemies:
Regular zombies (increasing speed each wave).
2 Megatons (split into 4 smaller zombies upon death).
1 Panzer Soldat (flamethrower and claw attacks).
Optimal Strategy:
Kiting: Have one player lead zombies in a clockwise circle around the altar.
Elite Focus: Assign 2 players to handle Megatons/Panzer with LMGs + explosives.
Last 30 Seconds: Drop all remaining Monkey Bombs/C4 near the altar.
