Unlocking the Citadelle des Morts Easter Egg in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's Zombies mode, particularly the Citadelle des Morts map, offers a rich and engaging experience, especially for players who enjoy unraveling Easter eggs. However, a specific step in the main quest—locating four page fragments—can be quite challenging. This guide will walk you through finding and utilizing these crucial fragments.
Locating the Four Page Fragments
The Citadelle des Morts map intricately connects the Black Ops 6 Zombies storyline to the broader lore established in Black Ops 4 and Vanguard. A critical step in the main quest involves discovering four page fragments to reveal hidden symbols. These fragments can be elusive and sometimes prone to glitches, appearing in the game world but remaining invisible. To maximize your chances of finding them:
- Activate Pack-a-Punch: Ensure the Pack-a-Punch machine on Citadelle des Morts is operational.
- Speak with Professor Krafft: Interact with the closed door in the Dungeon to speak with Professor Krafft.
Completing these steps before searching for the fragments significantly increases their visibility.
Page Fragment Spawn Locations
The four page fragments can appear in several locations within the castle's sitting room (where Stamin-Up is located) and the adjacent passage. All potential spawn points are relatively close.
Possible spawn locations include:
- Near the vase by the torch in the Sitting Room Passage.
- Between two torches (one lit, one unlit) to the left of the previous location.
- On the ruined corner wall of the Passage.
- On the TVs near Stamin-Up.
- On the couch.
- Next to the static-filled TV.
- By the fireplace near the bunk beds.
- On the bunk beds.
- On the end table near the bunk beds.
- On a desk near the bunk beds.
- On the floor near the crates in the Passage.
- On the crates themselves.
- Next to the rope bundle near a torch and boxes in the Passage.
If you're having trouble, systematically check all surfaces and ledges in the Sitting Room and Passage, repeatedly pressing and releasing the interact button. This often helps trigger the fragments to appear.
Utilizing the Page Fragments
Once you've collected all four fragments, they become essential later in the main Easter egg quest. They're used in a book located behind a destructible wall in the Undercroft. Destroy the wall using the Melee Macchiato perk's powerful punch. This reveals a symbol puzzle. Solving the puzzle spawns a red orb; interact with it to place the fragments in the book.
Note the symbols' order (top left, bottom left, top right, bottom right). Each symbol corresponds to a Point of Power Trap. Activate each trap in order, obtaining kills within it until it deactivates. Each successful activation will extinguish the corresponding symbol in the book.
By following these steps, you'll successfully locate and utilize the four page fragments, progressing further in the Citadelle des Morts Easter egg quest.
