Full Rex Infernus Easter Egg Guide & Rewards in Black Ops 7 Zombies

The finale of the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Zombies story has arrived in Rex Infernus within Season 5 Reloaded! Requiem gears up to take on the Warden on his home turf in what could be the final Zombies Easter Egg for quite some time. BO7 takes players to a broken wasteland within the Dark Aether, where familiar faces & locations await. In this article, we’re going to go over every step to complete the Rex Infernus Easter Egg, as well as all rewards you can earn here within Black Ops 7 Zombies! Here’s what you need to know:

Step 1: Access the Pack-A-Punch

Leaving the House

After spawning in, you’ll need to hold out in the house till you open the first door & reach Round 3. After you reach Round 3, a phone will begin to ring. Once you answer the phone, a cutscene will begin where the house opens up, & you’ll be able to jump through a portal. After doing this, you’ll be brought to the Nexus Forge.

Dread Skulls & Usurped Flames

Once there, you need to place the World Seed on the platform located in the center of the forge. This will spawn Red Dread Skulls that you need to eliminate. Upon defeating them, the Dread Skull will head into one of the Shadowsmith’s Temples. You’ll need to continue to fire at it as it travels, until it’s destroyed. It will then drop the Usurped Flame.

After collecting the Usurped Flame, head back to the Nexus Forge & throw the flame into the Brazier. The second Dread Skull will then make its way into one of the other Shadowsmith’s temples, & you’ll need to repeat firing at it till it’s destroyed. Collect the second Usurped Flame, return it to the Central Forge’s Brazier.

Unlocking Pack-A-Punch

Once both flames have been returned, you’re able to crank both wheels on the Forge to unlock the PAP Machine!

Step 2: Obtain the Void Claw Grapple

Once you’ve unlocked the PAP Machine, various lanterns around the map will begin to glow green. These lanterns allow you to pick up the Void Claw Grapple Tac Equipment. You’ll want to use this claw to pull glowing purple orbs over to the PAP area. This Equipment only has a limited usage time, so move with purpose.

Pulling an orb into the PAP area will cause it to circle around. You’ll then need to crank the wheel & Surge the Nexus. Doing so will light the Brazier’s with the Astral Flame. This flame will be needed for the Wonder Weapon.

Step 3: The Shadowsmith’s Temples

Dravakar’s Temple

Head into Dravakar’s Temple & locate the blue inscription on the wall. Interact with it to be given a riddle. You’ll need to solve it using the symbols on the 4 pillars within the inner sanctum. These pillars & symbols align as such & face inward at default:

Galaxy – Top-Left = South
Runner – Bottom-Left = East
Moon – Top-Right = West
Star – Bottom-Right = North

There are four separate levers that control the rotation of these pillars.

One can be found right outside the room to the left (or bottom corridor) = Turns Runner clockwise & Star counter clockwise.
Another can be found in the corridor to the left = Turns Galaxy clockwise & Runner counter.
Another can be found in the corridor to the right = Turns Moon counter clockwise & Star clockwise.
The final one is located on the center pillar.

These are the known riddle combinations & pull solutions for them:

“I drift to stars that remember moons, who borrow the runner that travels the galaxy.”
- Left Lever 1 pull, Bottom Lever 2 pulls, & Right Lever 3 Pulls
“I drift to the runner that travels moon, who borrow from galaxies when stars stay true”
- Left Lever 3 pulls, Bottom Lever 2 pulls, & Right Lever 1 pull
“I remember galaxies that drift to moons, who borrow the runner that travels the stars”
- Left Lever 2 pulls, Bottom Lever 0 pulls, & Right Lever 2 pulls
“I remember the runner that travels to stars, while moons & galaxies stay true”
- Left Lever 0 pulls, Bottom Lever 2 pulls, & Right Lever 3 pulls

Once you’ve rotated the pillars to the matching order, interact with the lever in the middle & it should open up a secret passage above.

Nxyara’s Temple

Along the walls of the Nxyara’s Temple, there will be crystals. These are the Fractures of Nxyara. What you may notice is one missing from its wall-mounted podium. This can be located inside Dravakar’s Temple, above the main entrance door.

You’ll need to use PHD on a wall above the entrance door to find the missing fracture. Once you’ve collected the fracture, head back into Nxyara’s Temple & use the Void Claw to grapple above the mounted podium. As you’re falling back down, place the fracture into the mount.

You’ll want to grab one of the Usurped Flames from the Nexus Forge & head into Nxyara’s Temple. Within the temple, there will be an eye symbol to throw the flame at. It will light the eye up & fire a purple orb onto the walls of the temple.

Using the Void Claw, you’ll want to fire at the fractures to rotate the dial on them to control where the orb goes. Your goal is to bounce the purple orb off of the Fractures & into a door within the temple. Once done correctly, the door will open, & you’ll be granted access to Nxyara’s Inner Sanctum.

Once inside, you’ll notice a massive vine within the room’s center. Being within a radius of it will begin to drain your health & transfer it to the vines. Once the vines are full, they will grow a fruit you must interact with. Once you’ve done so, you’ll be teleported into a forest.

Warden’s Blight Wonder Weapon

Youll need to have completed Dravakar’s & Nxyara’s Temples to construct the Warden’s Blight Wonder Weapon. Once those are done however, you’ll be able to craft it by doing the following:

After eating the fruit from Nxyara’s Temple & entering the forest, you’ll need to locate a charred body within the area. This will trigger a cutscene & give you a piece of the Wonder Weapon.
Locate a second charred body near a cave to unlock the second piece.
The final piece can be found beneath the floorboards of the destroyed house. You’ll need to melee the floorboards to find the final piece.
After locating these 3 pieces, head over to Dravakar’s Temple & grapple into the secret passage solved earlier to locate the crafting table. The weapon will then be crafted by Dravakar.

Veytharion’s Temple

After entering Veytharion’s Temple, you’ll need to pick up 4 stone blocks with elements carved into them. These are the main elements of Fire, Water, Earth, & Air. You’ll want to take these blocks into Veytharion’s Sanctuary. There, you’ll find a wall to the left where you can place them into.

You’ll have to place them individually, but in an order that doesn’t interfere with another block’s element. You’ll always want to make sure Fire is separated from Earth & Water’s blocks. So these are the placement combinations you can use:

Water, Earth, Air, Fire
Fire, Air, Earth, Water
Fire, Air, Water, Earth
Earth, Water, Air, Fire

You need to transfer all the cubes safely across the bridge. Once Air is in the middle of the bridge, melee the dial above it to send a cube across. Make sure Fire is not left alone with Earth or Water. After getting them all across & in place, repeat the following sequence:

Pickup the Fire Block.
Move Fire & Air to the right & leave the Fire Block there.
Move Air back over to the left side, & grab either the Earth or Water block.
Head to the right with them again, but place Air down first to create a buffer before placing Earth/Water.
Grab Fire first, then the Earth block & bring them to the left side.
Place Air to create a buffer again & then place Fire. After this, grab your remaining Earth/Water block first then Air & move them to the right.
Place your remaining element block & then go back to grab Fire. Place Air down first, & then Fire above to complete the Temple’s puzzle.

Caltheris Temple

Within the Main Chamber of Caltheris Temple, locate the Ammo Crate & find the 4 stone squares that are nearby. You’ll want to stand in each stone from left to right. After doing so, 4 yellow lights will appear that you need to shoot.

If done successfully, you’ll have completed the Temple & the wall to your right will open, revealing a lantern & 2 purple orbs.

Step 4: The Corruptions

You’ll need to a few different items that are tied to each Shadowsmith & their corruption. There are the items, & how to attain them:

Ancient Scroll

To obtain the Ancient Scroll, you’ll need to equip Shadow Rift on your weapon. Return to the forest that you collected the Warden’s Blight pieces & get a few kills on the undead. Once enough have been eliminated, a sound cue will play & the Scroll will drop.

The Hammer

To collect The Hammer, you need to equip Shatter Blast onto your weapon. Make your way into the Wonder Weapon creation room in Dravakar’s Temple. To locate The Hammer, eliminate zombies using Shatter Blast near shields on the wall. One will fall & reveal The Hammer for collection.

Shimmering Thread

In a more straightforward method, you simply need to use the Void Claw Grapple on Purple Orbs. Eventually, one will drop the Shimmering Thread.

Woven Sash

You can pick this item up from 3 different potential spawn points:

Behind a Mystery Box near PHD Flopper
Outside between Nxyara & Vehtharion’s Temples
On a cliff near Widows Wine Machine

Step 5: Upgrading the Void Claw Grapple

To upgrade the Void Claw into the Void Talon, you’ll first want to locate a basketball inside of the main house you spawn in. It’ll be seen from the broken window in the center. After doing this blue symbols will begin to appear on the house as you pass rounds.

Remember the order in which the symbols appear as you go through rounds. Pass about 3-4 rounds till you have all 4 blue symbols on the house. Wait for an exfil round to trigger & shoot the symbols. You need to shoot them in the order they appeared on the house.

Answer the Exfil Phone & defeat the HVT. This will cause you to return to the house. Once you’ve returned, head upstairs & into the bedroom. Locate a zombie spawn point next to the bed & look within. Shoot the shelf you see with a charged shot of the Warden’s Blight. This will spawn in the Eye of the Forge to pickup.

Take the Eye of the Forge to a Grapple pickup station & interact with it. This will upgrade the Voic Claw to the Void Talon.

Step 6: Restoring the Nexus

Now that you have the Void Talon Grapple, take it to the Nexus Core & use it on 12 eye-shaped plates. Using the Talon on them will pull them down. After doing this, three more plates will appear on the monoliths around the Nexus Forge. Use the Talon to remove them as well.

You’ll then want to throw Usurped Flames at the newly exposed webbed gears. This will burn away the webs. After burning all the webs off the gears, crank the wheel on the PAP forge. You then need to use the lever downstairs on the PAP to start up the gears.

Step 7: Cleansing the Temples

Make your way back upstairs on the Nexus Forge & interact with the 3 cranks. This will align the monoliths toward a boss temple. A lever underneath PAP will change the direction the cranks turn. You can either go clockwise or counterclockwise.

Dravakar

Once you’ve aligned all the cranks to Dravakar’s Temple, head inside & place The Hammer into the brazier within Dravakar’s Main Chamber. Once you do this, grab the Astral Flame & use it to light the brazier. This will cause it to light with the Astral Flame & Blue Flame.

Draw a zombie close to the flame to infuse it with the blue flame. This will reveal a symbol on the zombie. You’ll then want to take that zombies a specific titan trap. You’ll need to kill the zombie with the titan trap that has the same symbol on the handcuff of the titan. Make sure that hand specifically kills the zombie. This will cause the handcuff to break.

Head back into Dravakar’s temple & get kills with the wonder weapon while standing on stone slabs that has Dravakar’s face. This will cause the slabs to raise. Keep note as you’ll be taking damage while standing on the slabs. Using the wonder weapons charged shot, fire it at the opened slab to raise a disc from the floor.

Aim this disc at the top right of the room on the second floor, near the next room over. This will trigger a soulbox you need to complete. You’ll know it’s aligned properly if the walk begins to crack as you get kills. Getting kills will send pulses down the beam, open a wall, & reveal a face. Shoot at the face which in turn will spawn shadow zombies. After eliminating them, shoot the face again which should trigger a white flash.

Make your way outside the temple where you’ll see a floating platform has appeared near Dravakar’s head. Use your Void Talon to draw a purple orb near it, & then use the alternate tornado fire on the Warden’s Blight to raise the orb up. This will light Dravakar’s eyes. After flipping the round, rain will begin. Grab another Astral Flame & toss it at Dravakar’s head. Lightning will strike & the Temple is cleansed.

Nxyara

After aligning all three cranks to Nxyara’s Temple, head inside & place the Ancient Scroll in the brazier of Nxyara’s Main Chamber. Grab the Astral Flame & bring it to the brazier. Lighting it with the Astral Flame will create a red flame. Take a zombie close to the fire to infuse it with the red flame, & produce a symbol on the zombie.

Take that zombies a specific titan trap. You’ll need to kill the zombie with the titan trap that has the same symbol on the handcuff of the titan. Make sure that hand specifically kills the zombie. This will cause the handcuff to break.

Head back into Nxyara’s Temple & locate the eye monolith. There will be a stone slab you’ll need to lay prone on for about a minute. This will cause the slab to open, where you’ll need to use a charged wonder weapon shot on the slab. A circular disc will be revealed. You’ll need to aim underneath & to the left of the door leading to Nxyara’s Inner Sanctum.

This will trigger a soulbox you need to complete. You’ll know it’s aligned properly if the walk begins to crack as you get kills. Getting kills will send pulses down the beam, open a wall, & reveal a face. Shoot at the face which in turn will spawn shadow zombies. After eliminating them, shoot the face again which should trigger a white flash.

Make your way outside the temple where you’ll see a floating platform has appeared near Nxyara’s head. Use your Void Talon to draw a purple orb near it, & then use the alternate tornado fire on the Warden’s Blight to raise the orb up. This will light Nxyara’s eyes. After flipping the round, rain will begin. Grab another Astral Flame & toss it at Nxyara’s head. Lightning will strike & the Temple is cleansed.

Veytharion

Once you’ve aligned all the cranks to Veytharion’s Temple, head inside & place the Woven Sash into the brazier within Veytharion’s Main Chamber. Once you do this, grab the Astral Flame & use it to light the brazier. This will cause it to light with the Astral Flame & Red Flame. Take a zombie close to the fire to infuse it with the red flame, & produce a symbol on the zombie.

Return back into Veytharion’s temple, you’ll find a stone slab on the floor that bears the face of Veytharion. You need to repeatedly jump onto it until the slab raises. Use the wonder weapon’s charged shot to raise a circular disc. Aim the circular disc towards a zombie barrier to the right of the Akita wall-buy within Veytharion’s Temple.

Make your way outside the temple where you’ll see a floating platform has appeared near Veytharion’s head. Use your Void Talon to draw a purple orb near it, & then use the alternate tornado fire on the Warden’s Blight to raise the orb up. This will light Veytharion’s eyes. After flipping the round, rain will begin. Grab another Astral Flame & toss it at Veytharion’s head. Lightning will strike & the Temple is cleansed.

Caltheris

After aligning all three cranks to Caltheris’s Temple, head inside & place the Shimmering Thread in the brazier of Caltheris’s Main Chamber. Grab the Astral Flame & bring it to the brazier. Lighting it with the Astral Flame will create a red flame. Take a zombie close to the fire to infuse it with the red flame, & produce a symbol on the zombie. Take a zombie close to the fire to infuse it with the red flame, & produce a symbol on the zombie.

Once back inside it Caltheris’s Temple, you’ll find a stone slab on the floor that bears the face of Caltheris. You’ll need to interact with it & then aim down your sights at it to raise it. Once raised, shoot a charged shot of the wonder weapon to reveal a circular disc. You then need to aim it towards the top-left of the room on the second floor.

Make your way outside the temple where you’ll see a floating platform has appeared near Caltheris’s head. Use your Void Talon to draw a purple orb near it, & then use the alternate tornado fire on the Warden’s Blight to raise the orb up. This will light Caltheris’s eyes. After flipping the round, rain will begin. Grab another Astral Flame & toss it at Caltheris’s head. Lightning will strike & the Temple is cleansed.

Boss Fight

When you’re prepared, head down below the PAP into the Nexus Core where you’ll find 4 circles you can stand in. They’ll bring you into the Final Encounter. The fight is broken up into 4 damage phases. Proceed with caution as the Warden is incredibly fast & does major damage. He can also knock you off the map when attacking which will damage you & take armor plates.

For the first phase, the Warden will spawn in skulls that will be levitating around him. If you destroy these skulls, it will stun him, allowing you to do damage to his tail. The tail is the critical point for damage. Once he’s in the immune phase, floating shadow souls will spawn in.

Destroying those souls will break his armor once he returns to the fight. There will be stingers that begin to rise on the battlefield, that will shoot & damage you. Be sure to take these out as if enough are present later on in the fight, they can preform a wipe attack. be sure to destroy the levitating skulls, to stun him, then fire at his tail.

The third phase will teleport all players into a smaller area to defeat an HVT. If completed, once you’re thrown back into the main fight, you’ll be given a blessing from one of the Shadowsmiths. After this, the Warden will be extra aggressive, as well as more zombies spawning in.

Destroy the shadow souls to break his armor, & destroy the skulls levitating around him to stun him. After they’re destroyed fire at his tail until he is defeated.
