Hey guys, Tac here! Zetsubou No Shima is upon us and even now, before the map has launched officially, there is a cipher solved. As more and more rolls outs, like radios, more ciphers, and eventually the quotes, I'll throw them all in here. Please note that this thread will be under constant construction, so be patient if something isn't fixed immediately as it likely will soon. Also note that this thread is a small portion of my much larger transcripts thread, which can be found here. Opening Cinematic Trailer Ending Cutscene Radios Codes/Ciphers Scraps16 points

You may have seen the post from Carbonfibah that he was selling the domain name callofdutyzombies.com - we had no idea of his intentions or much notice of the sale taken place. We have managed to put the funds together and we have purchased the domain name. callofdutyzombies.com is now officially owned by callofdutyzombies.com and the staff, please do not worry about the site disappearing or such like as it will not happen and we are going from strength to strength. Thanks to Dan and all the hardwork he did in the early days, the site has just gone from strength to strength, yes we experience challenges with the popularity of Twitter, YouTube, Reddit, Twitch but as a site we have a strong base to continue growing and win back people who have maybe moved to other outlets for the quicker/shorter interaction.10 points

Today it is with great pleasure that we introduce you to a new member of the team, he has worked hard and it hasn't gone without notice and he has also been working with us behind the scenes for some weeks now as well. So without further ado, please welcome @NaBrZHunter to the staff team. Why NaBrZHunter, well he deserves it and 2 he brings a skillset that we are looking forward and we are utilising for moving the site forward. NaBrZHunter will become responsible for YouTube, he will be bring you the newest videos, guides tutorials and theory videos via Der Bunker - which is his own channel. However, I personally see no reason as to why we cannot promote share his videos on the CoDz channel if he is Ok with that (just my thoughts) but you can understand it's a good set of skills being brought to the team. We haven't made NaBrZHunter green just yet, I need to do this later but please give a huge congratulations to NaBrZHunter.7 points

Obviously, this is going to have some major spoilers for the campaign. If you haven't finished the campaign and want to finish it, I'd avoid reading this thread. If you aren't really into the campaign and can't find a reason to like it, I WOULD advise reading this thread - as it may intrigue you. This is a three parter. If you are familiar with the campaign, you can skip to Section 2. If you played the campaign but didn't real pay attention or get it, I'd recommend brushing up with Section 1. Obviously if you have no idea what Corvus is (and want to know) then you know what to do. Section 1: Who's Corvus? - an in depth look at what the AI is, and how it came to be organic Section 2: Corvus, The Frozen Forest, and Zombies - connections, coincidences, and theories Section 3: Holes in the Plot - a section where I will acknowledge problems and either explain, or accept Section 1: Who's Corvus? -- How Corvus came to be -- Corvus is an AI that was "organically" birthed from the absorption of 300,000 human beings consciousness' on June 2nd, 2060 - in a CIA operation known as the Black Project; he was originally designed to utilize soldiers collected memories to get a better understanding of the enemy (I say "He" because the voice of Corvus is a male, though I'd imagine the AI as beyond gender). The 300,000 test subjects were hooked up to neural interfaces which were primitive versions of what we know from the campaign as DNI. Instead of DNA, DNI is like cybernetic enhancements for human beings - allowing those imbued to interact with technology at the touch of a finger. The computer, the technology inside of you, and your mind become one - and through the use of DNI you are able to extract information in seconds that would (using conventional methods) take months. Corvus was a originally just a program meant to monitor, collect, and filter the subject's consciousness'. Instead, he and the subjects became one. In a moment of frantic self awakening via 300,000 human's memories, Corvus inadvertently* lost control and released Nova 6 gas into the facility - killing all scientists and test subjects alike. This event was known as the Singapore Disaster. The Singapore Disaster remained a mystery to all but two men - one being the creator of Corvus (Sebastion Krueger), and the other Dr. Salim, who helped to control the DNI subjects into a trance light state using the concept of a Frozen Forest (it was the place they went to achieve a calm, meditative state - think of it like a safe place). When Corvus was born, reality as we know it was completed twisted to him - as he struggled with the concept of what he is, and why he is. The 300,000 test subjects' collected memories collided with Dr. Salim's implanted seeds of the idea of a safe place (if you will), and through that it became clear that he had to "find" the Frozen Forest. With no one left alive, Corvus was entombed inside the dying technology. 5 years passed, flesh rotted to bone, until a small team of DNI soldiers were sent to the ruins to investigate. Once getting into the mainframe, the leader of the group used his DNI to interact with the damaged equipment - and Corvus found a new host. Corvus infects the majority of your team, and you DNI interface with one of your dying "friends"(Sarah Hall) - only to become (unknowingly) infected yourself. That's when things start getting weird... er. -- Traveling back to WW2 -- While DNI interfacing with dying Sarah Hall, there is a hiccup which causes a glitch that makes you essentially live through Sarah's waking nightmare. An explosion of memories real, fantastical, and horrific - all combining as a result of her brain dying. We are sent back to December 1944, to the Siege of Bastogne. Sarah Hall had apparently studied the brutality of the battle, and her brain was replaying the events. We battle through the nazi soldiers, as the literal ground is cracking and floating away from us in Inception style cinematics. Then, we start fighting wolves that look and move a lot like hellhounds Then, we go through another sequence in which we are landed in a house. Sarah says "I know this is", and zombies literally pop out and start fighting you. Yes, zombies. If you are seeing this for the first time, I'm sure your first reaction is "welp, time to play campaign". Good for you. Sarah says some lines about how reality and fiction get blurred, and basically asks you to kill her. You do so, you come out of the waking nightmare back into reality, and you are infected with Corvus. -- Finding the Creator & the 300,000 Subjects -- You go on a mission to find the man who created Corvus to begin with (Krueger), only Hendriks (also infected with Corvus) beats you to him. Hendriks is obsessed with the idea of the Frozen Forest, and the fact that he doesn't know he really is (so basically... Corvus). Hendriks also says that the 300,000 subjects are still alive in his head - meaning that though the physical is gone, they are still apparently preserved in conscious state. Hendriks: We want to know who we are, and why we are here! Krueger: I... can't answer that. Hendriks: Not good enough. I'll find out for myself. Hendriks shoots Krueger, mortally wounding him but presumably leaving enough time to DNI with Krueger and get the real truth. However, you (the player) shoot Hendriks in the head - and then turn the gun on yourself, in an attempt to end Corvus once and for all. We are led to believe that you (the player) are the last host. -- Corvus, the Caring Smoke Monster -- You awake... in a Frozen Forest (duh). Hendriks explains that the AI entity (named after the place of it's birth) is doing this for our benefit, to save us - along with the other 300,000+. And then Corvus makes his grand entrance. Corvus has essentially found a way to preserve consciousness after death. It's what happens "next" after you die, the Frozen Forest (if you are infected). Then comes a confrontation between Corvus and Krueger. Corvus: This is the frozen forest. Every soul I interact with is here - living beyond death... if I choose allow it. Krueger: What more do you want to know? I've told you everything. Corvus: I want to know who I am. Krueger: You're software. Nothing more. You were designed to catalogue and track the thoughts of others - so that we people - could decide what action to take. You were a glitch. An anomaly. A mistake. Corvus is pissed, he pulls Krueger's limbs apart and kills him. What follows is basically the explanation that I have provided in the previous part of this section. If you need a video source, click here and watch from an hour in. The campaign ends with you purging yourself of Corvus thanks to Taylor somehow glitching himself into the Frozen Forest by removing his DNI (which happened earlier). Then again, we never know if he is really gone for good. Section 2: Corvus, The Frozen Forest, and Zombies -- Appearance / Color -- His eyes are blue, much like when Richtofen was in control. His chest is a fiery orange and his body is mostly black smoke. I would just pass it off as standard "black ops" colors (black and orange), but the piercing blue eyes cannot be ignored. -- His Nature -- Corvus is a misunderstood force in control of unimaginable power with thousands of voices crying out inside of his head. This exact sentence could apply to our very own Samantha Maxis. It's almost as if he seems to be a parallel to her plight. He also has the power to do mass destruction, and inflict massive chaos if he loses his temper. -- He's in Dead Ops Arcade 2 as a Zombie -- Borrowing this description from an excellent guide for DOA2, he appears as the "Shadow Boogie" on round 17: "The Shadow Zombie will debut in round 17, which is the Challenge Round "Shadow Boogie." Crows will begin to fly into arena with a bluish glow. When they land, a dark zombie to rise and chase you." The significance here lies with the shadow/smoke animation, but more specifically the ravens. Ravens are symbolic throughout the entire game of Corvus, and they may frequent entrances during his cut scenes. -- 300,000 Memories -- When Corvus was birthed, he absorbed 300,000 human test subjects. True it's the year 2065, but some of those folks would surely have knowledge of things that happened in past history. All the events that have happened in zombies, all the actors and actresses that have been in zombies, all the weapons that have been in zombies - this would all be in Corvus' head. Why am I drawing this comparison? If you entertain the fact that it's possible Corvus could be a/the controller of zombies, anything in history prior to 2065 could be used and formed into his own universe, similar to the Frozen Forest. He would construct the levels, the players, the "cast" - which could explain celebrity cameos, guns being out of sync with time, many inconsistencies. This is all in theory, of course. -- The Hypocenter could have 115 in it --- During the mission in which revisit the spot where the Singapore Disaster happened, you pass through various levels and facilities. In many of the facilities you can see canisters with green liquid that are clearly labeled Nova 6 (I need to get pictures). In one of the rooms, I noticed an unmarked canister: It's kind of dark, but there is no label. I'm aware that pure liquid divinium is blue, but we've seen 115 in many ways. The "no name" on the label hints to it being unclassified, which would literally put it as 115 (ununpentium). Just a thought. -- The Frozen Forest = Aether -- A realm after death, a next step. This could obviously be a reference toward the Aether. Some come make the argument for Agartha as well, but regardless it is a mystical land - even if it only exists in the subconscious... after death, the subconscious becomes reality. -- The 3 Doors -- For some reason, this part really struck me during the ending Frozen Forest sequence. It relates to the campaign levels you previously play, but I just couldn't fight the sneaking feeling of the doors (from L to R) being Die Rise/Shi No Numa, Shangri La, and Der Reise/Der Riese/The Giant/Moon. It's got a Dead Ops Arcade feel to it as well, with the whole door selection mechanic. -- That Part Where You Fight Zombies -- Needless to say, there is a part in the campaign where you fight zombies. It is inside of Hall's waking nightmare, her last dying thoughts a flurry of emotion and pain - binding reality with fantasy. True this is all in her head, but in her head is Corvus too. If she knows about zombies, Corvus knows about zombies. -- Other Samantha Could be Corvus -- He's able to impersonate people, many folks have pointed out that there are several Samantha's (American accent vs. British). Corvus could have a larger role to play, possibly using his ability to transform into Samantha Maxis in an effort to inflict change - in one way, or another. Section 3: Plot Holes -- How Could Corvus Become the Controller of Zombies? -- Zombies itself could be something that exists inside of his "frozen forest". Corvus' ability to create lands for the sub conscious means that anything is possible. This wouldn't mean that our in-game actions are meaningless, however - in the campaign we witnessed a character "glitch" into the Frozen Forest and actually lead to ending Corvus; what this infers is that we as the O4 could be going against Corvus. -- How Does Corvus Influence Events Hundreds of Years Prior to His Birth -- What we are seeing could be a replay. Ditching the whole "collective consciousness jumble of thoughts and ideas", the events and actions of the O4 could literally be events in history that we are reliving. Then throw in a little magic, and consider the fact that 115 displaces thing in space and time and it's possible that Corvus' abilities + 115 could cause some serious timeline distortions and possible paradoxes. -- So basically it's just Corvus + 115, that's your theory? -- Yeah. Section 4: Corvus Facts The Corvus Constellation (added 2/1/16) Corvus is a small constellation in the Southern Celestial hemisphere. It includes 11 stars, with one of those stars having two debris disks. The constellation itself is named after the latin word for "crow" or "raven". An 1825 painting showcasing various constellations, including Corvus directly in the middle (the Crow). A legend associated with the Corvus constellation is that a crow was doing a task for Apollo and getting him water, the crow stopped to eat some figs but then lied about it to Apollo. The crow said that a snake had prevented it from getting the water quickly, while gripping the snake in it's talons - Apollo knew he was lying, and threw the crow, the cup (for water), and the snake into outer space. The cup is meant to be just out of reach to further punish the crow, so he is forever thirsty. To me this is very interesting, as we can now confirm two types of symbolism from Black Ops 3 present in the Black Ops universe. Iterations on serpents in the past include Shangri-La, and Die Rise: (Shangir La, Nāga statue) (Die Rise, dragon) To me, the cup could easily symbolize the Holy Grail - an artifact of great power that Hitler desperately wanted for his own. All this together is some strong imagery that lends itself to much speculation. ~ Thanks for reading!7 points

Aloha guys, Tac here with a thread on the multiverse so everyone can understand it a little better. Of course, if you spot something of interest (or especially concern), drop a comment and let a discussion begin! Please note that this thread does not depict the order of the outbreaks, but the actual time we are physically playing there.

@certainpersonio and I, along with help from 96nKsk and @MrRoflWaffles, have just completed the Crossword as well as the Spawn Room Cipher. We expanded upon a twitter post that had many of the solutions already, which can be found here: https://twitter.com/96nKsk So huge thanks to him! This would not have been possible without this start! There were some discrepancies with some of the solutions, so we had to update them a little, but for the most part they had many correct solutions! The final solutions are all compiled here: http://bit.do/bWtnd Finally, we used the solutions from the crossword to input into the Spawn Room Cipher. I initially split up the cipher into A's and D's and was thinking two different polybius squares or something were being used to get the answer. Showed this to @certainpersonio and he apparently had just seen a crossword puzzle and speculated that A was across and D was down and ended up being 100% correct!

So I'm pretty confident that I solved the underwater cipher by the power turbines: "Richtofen must understand that using these teleporters to jump between dimensions is both dangerous and imprecise. At any point, the fabric of space-time could collapse if the proper amounts of 115 are not maintained. l am also concerned about the unknown effects of trans-dimensional jumps. l have noticed even with my brief travels that new memories and emotions have flooded my mind, suddenly appearing from nowhere. l am also sure something is happening on a molecular level as well." Here is the final cipher text I used: 1u_oeRh_ls_ndpisusu_eaiie5lansiano_h_.rc_mtlsnntmd_dnsecpootae_o_apaauldhe_a_y__hpwdhvflpon_nrry__narc_itteheaef_efdbd_e_emsbeopseonedt_ear_e_l_amyio_lo_lfir__ncm_sittespo_ounlibeenemnot_apmwhvoptbntoanopgn.yetsamapeaemeira_tptto____wi_locretleaoilt_s,hrmo_m_cosueen__trne_hme__tunlimefon-c_uahisfjea_tdes_ned__ttidssin__u_iihartaadm_tcsisii_nghtmunfens__m,oero_memnwg_arpnt__g_um-_rvanoe.ege_fvaskatfetnoasiencf__n_lirev.niharodlluense_cAstlso_e_onebo_eesds_-r1otih._mfllwe_rujrcod_wdn To get to this point I had to "massage" a columnar transposition cipher to get 20 columns made from 19 columns originally. Basically spaces had to be added that aren't readily apparent in the original ciphertext. Then you get a weird wrap-around version of a transposition cipher. I've color coded it for (slightly) easier reading: Start with the green "Richtofen" through the cross-over, and then end with the red "well." I've never heard of this happening with a simple columnar transposition, so I'm not entire sure that it actually is. If someone knows, please fill me in!6 points

TranZit Virus: searching insanely for what may or may not be. Some of us here have been brainstorming, usurping our rest periods to obsess over a glitchy mess of a video game, rather than living our lives. Many things come to mind that we hide in the dark corners of our psyche, hoping they never spill out onto a respectable forum. Well, this is the place for them. Post the little things that can't be something, as maybe they are. (Cue insane music score). ----- Waterfront: by the cthulu statue. Why is there a wood-floored building with a huge bonfire in the middle of a gallery? It's not an accidental fire, nor a meteor strike, but a bonfire inside. There are sconces up each side and the 3 recurring artworks are all in this room. Smoke rises by the $1250 Upstairs Door, but not the other, which would make more sense since it is always open on the side with no smoke. Smoke also rises from some random sewers in game. Now, this is on 360, where trivial graphics are nonexistent, so why was the smoke so important? The huge, dilapidated, billboard above workbench. By the beast fire, by Jade coast trading: threw grenade behind boarded door, after it exploded, there was lots of metal-raining-down noise. ---- Junction: only place with open baskets, and lots of them. The table next to L-car-9 is unique and looks like it's waiting for something to be on it. CP switch area is glitchy. Glitchy 360 areas tend to match a map change area. No known change here yet. Code suggests that the cocoon hangs here once taken. I can't confirm that. Pointless grapple? Where tram leaves map. --- Nero's: theoretically, code has exploding candles script. The bookcase by the floating book is glitchy, probably due to the book. It had been fixed a little, but still off. May be more to it. These tables with the open book appear around the map, but always in the map. None with the book are unreachable. Some by rifts. Some in subway and pap, one in the Anvil. --- Anvil: (boxing gym) the showers in the rear are really glitchy, been fixed a little, but still off. No known use yet. Not close enough to bowtie to be the reason. ----- Footlight: Beast can get behind the 'escape the tomb' sign, but what for? Pointless grapple? Where tram leaves map. Unlit marquee with no words above perk. 360 version not fleshed out? Killers of the night poster is unique. Strange symbol on the bottom left makes no sense, even through sniper scope. The other huge poster is Gabbi Malone, and is similar to the other GM posters around the map. Shoot them all? ---- Canal: dead guy (not zombie) with letter. Tram map washed out with brightness. Smoking sewers, grate. Repetitive cherry blossom art. ---- Most zombie rooms are black with almost no furnishings, but some are fleshed out, seemingly randomly. Deadlines, cut corners? Or something else. Random same 3 artworks. ---- Why does the upgraded Devil-O Trip Mine look like the Molly's Cream Cakes image? Why does the MCC upgrade appear as a pink donut? Why one or the other? Can't mix them or do one after the other. Why does each one of them have a large sign that the tram rides real close to? ---- Anywhere but HereGobblgum, if used on the tram, puts you back on the tram when it arrives at it's destination. ---- Civil protector: sometimes revives you, sometimes doesn't. Sometimes saves your quick revive, sometimes doesn't. ---- Keepers: 2 show up with each ritual part, 4 in Subway, not the pap room itself, but subway. Are they there just to show that the keepers want to stop us? Then, why no points? 1. To show they are the good guys? 2. Because they serve a different purpose, so making them give no points leads us to figure out their purpose, so we won't just kill them? 4 spare ones in case we killed some off (cough, 97% chance of at least one nuke on round 3, cough)? ---- Pods: stay open for several seconds before closing. I want to give them the AS... One of these days, I'll try it. Edit: i did it, it didn't seem to matter. Box wouldn't give it back. Why do they snore/sound like they're sleeping? --- Fire AS at Margwa: sometimes he stands in it, usually he ignores it. What's up with that? Is that just an extremely unreliable way to get past him in a pinch? Or should we do something to him as he stands there? Edit: no matter how many heads on 360. More, sadly, to come...5 points

Simply put, we've implemented a more lightweight chatbox by popular demand. As with our old chatbox, each reply is subject to the Code of Conduct on this forum. This is in no way to replace our Looking For Group module (LFG) - and as such, should only be used as a small chit-chat area. Abuse of the chatbox will lead to it being left in the Rift...although you wouldn't do that, would you?5 points

It is an absolute honor to have this award. Thanks for the appreciation from everyone, it has been a great pleasure to learn from this site. I remember back in time when I joined the forum around BO2 release. I helped with some of the Chinese translation on Die Rise. That experience had been an inspiration for me that everyone is involved with the game. As a native Chinese speaker, being a part of this story-digging community also helped my English. I've never imagined I would still help with these in BO3. I've studied some basic Japanese over the years and I am pretty confident with the recent translations. They reminded me of the BO2 years so much. I am happy to see that my efforts are appreciated, and also my genuine thanks to everyone around this site that have ever helped me, inspired me. I am absolutely proud of being a part of the community.5 points

BTW, that invisible barrel barrier is fixed now. Not sure if I had anything to do with it because it's been reported numerous times by different players in every iteration of the map. But I was in contact with Activision's support about this issue earlier this year. We had a bit of back and forth, and I supplied them with a good number of video links demonstrating players getting hung up on that barrel. I didn't know if this effort would ever get anywhere, but at least I knew they were listening and acknowledging that the bug exists. Then in the next update patch I noticed the invisible barrier issue was fixed. Hooray! The maps finally playable for me again. - Mix5 points

I apologise for the downtime we have experienced today, this was outwith our control. Unfortunately, an issue at the data center caused the node our server is on to power cycle and as a direct result impacted our SQL database. Several attempts to recover the database from our backups and the hosts backups (without data loss) failed. So we did a full recovery from yesterday as a last resort, as a result posts/topics in the last 24 (approx) have been lost into the aether. We are looking into what is preventing the recovery and crashes on the SQL database after an outage at the hosts and why we are directly impacted and what we can do to prevent in the future. I'm sorry but it is what it is.4 points

I was a little surprised and bewildered at that to be honest, we literally received a minutes notice before it was tweeted. I would have thought out of common decency that we would have been offered first refusal and time to raise the funds to purchase the domain. That wasn't the case and we had to deal with the cards we had been handed, however, we have the domain and full control of the domain and it's safe and that's what counts.4 points

I'll start off with a cool 20 questions. Where do you see Zombies in 5 years? Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Opinion on the Nacht der Untoten loading screen? How would integrate Nacht der Untoten more into the story? Do you like the Multi-verse/Alien aspect Zombies has taken? Your unpopular opinion about Zombies? What's the most disappointing thing that could happen in DLC 4? What's the best thing that could happen in DLC 4? Cake or Ice Cream? Why did you start creating Zombies videos? Any aspects from Zombies you apply into real life? If a real life zombie apocalypse did happen, what would your plan be? Sarah Michelle Gellar, Misty, or Jessica Rose? Do you play the Campaign and Multiplayer at all? Favourite non-Wonder Weapon? What's a Wonder Weapon you would like to see? What is the one thing you would ask Jason Blundell if you had the chance? What theory do you believe in and want to come true? What do you think Richtofen's intentions are? How's your day going? I absolutely love this idea by the way.4 points

OK, so my computer got smashed for reasons I will not go into (did NOT involve raging, it involved CARS) so I just got back to the site. Hello everyone! Either-way, for those solo-ers out there, you'll find that ZNS is a hell of a map, and it's REALLY hard to do everything you need to... Here's my step-by-step process to doing this. The first few rounds are about maximizing points. You should know the drill, 3 shots then knife. For added assistance, plant seeds but DO NOT WATER THEM. Even if you CAN get to the blue water, the water-less plant rewards will typically give you something you can use, here's the list ranked in usefulness of items I know of. -Locus -Shiva -MR6 -XM-98 -Zombie (more points) -Grenades Either way, earn at least 1950 points and head on over towards the plane trap, there you will find the pharo on the wall for 700 (that's factored in already), buy it, but be sparing with ammo, it runs out fast. This gun is cheap, and it's ammo moreso, but it still takes out thrashers 10x faster then the RK5, shiva, or Lcar9. While you're here, take not of the skull alter, and remember it's number. From there you'll want to open up the way to the blue water, from here on out, it's not a bad idea to use a seed every now and again for a reward plant. Dont' bother with the upstairs area just yet, but keep 750$ handy in case the spider round comes. If it does, you're going to want to drop everything, grab/take some water to the generator in lab A, and use it to lower the cage and harness the spider (if it's the last spider, you can lower the cage again to get the max ammo). Also, don't forget the sheild part and gas mask part found under under lab A (likely on a wall near the kuda or a barrier) and behind the plane trap (Hanging on the inside of the downed plane, or on a rock near the box spawn) Earn some more points and eventually you SHOULD have enough to make it over to the skull area and get quick revive. Now here's where the guide gives it's first real tip: DON'T DO THE SPAWN RITUAL. You're going to want to save that for later. See, there's an order I use: Plane, Zipline, Kt4, Spawn. I do this SPECIFICALLY, because of the order of the challenges. The first skull will only spawn zombies and is the easiest, thats why we do the plane area first. While it may not look it, that plane area is crowded and while zombies in it are easy, it's another story if you're fighting spiders who actually attack you, or a thrasher, or both, along side it. Spawn is arguably the EASIEST place to do the skull, SO I save it for last, even if I have to give up my 500$ reward for doing it, it's better if we think long-term. Now, challenges wise, your pretty self-decisive of it. Personally if I get -Kill 30 zombies attracted to plants -Kill 3 zombies as they are mutating or -Kill 8 spiders with spores I'm somewhat concerned. Most everything else is quite easy to accomplish. Don't feel pain if you consider restarting at this point. It's better to retry now then 2 hours from now when you need the last masamune part. A lot of the challenges are plant based, such as "eat a fruit" or "get a power-up from a plant", and to that I've got to say: Get used to whole-map training. The challenges involving spores are relatively easy and simple. The kills using traps is straightforward as well, and I should mention, even though they don't give points, the zombies in skull-rituals, and the spider-cocoons will also work for these. The really easy ones are that of "Shoot 5 spores", "Destroy 5 spores with grenades", and use a spore to breathe underwater. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: This is a bit off topic, but DON'T try to get the spider weapon AND do this, be fully committed to one or the other. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Open up the next door to Lab B (We want to open up just about all the way through both labs, the green water area is up to you. You will need to eventually, but if you do now you'll have access to the ICR-1, green water, and second gas mask part.). Make sure you grab the second sheild part, then make sure you have this whole list: -Both generators running. -1000 points for the last door -A GUN that's stronger then the pharo. I recommend a kuda, or ICR-1 which is available in the green-water area. There will ALWAYS be at least ONE transforming zombie behind the door when you open it. If you need one for challenges, it's your guy. Continue on, and make sure you have ammo in your pharo, it will be useful as it's expendable ammo can easily take on the zombies in the power system. Now, based on how many points you have you have a few options: Either open up the way to the last sheild part by the AA gun, or buy juggernog. DO NOT try to do any more rituals or anything without one or the other, preferably juggernog is the more ideal item to have if limited to one. I also find it easiest to build the sheild (which commonly breaks) in Lab B, but the Gas mask goes in lab B (as it breaks, but not as often). Speaking of which, you're going to want to buy open the door to the room with the last gas-mask part which is located in the power room. This is also the next ritual you should do. Now that you at least have a sheild and a decent weapon, taking out the spiders alongside zombies is a sitch. You'll want to open the way down to the KT4 room, as well as the water-logged tunnels where you can find the second KT4 part located at the bottom. More importantly, you can do the thrasher ritual here. While doing this, I find that many times if I've saved a zombie and made him a crawler, a thrasher won't even spawn and I just have to deal with zombies. From this point on, you can return to spawn and do the final ritual, as well as the keeper ritual to get the Skull of Nansapwe. Imediantly after, you should go into the bunker and reveal, IN THIS ORDER: The plans in the area by purple water supply. The elevator hole. And finally (to which many times I have NOT made it in one go, but many others I have) the wall in the water-logged tunnel. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now, the next focus you need, which is good because you've gotten 2/3s of it already, is the final KT-4 part. Simply run some zombies in the green-water area to get the glow-stick thing. To recap, you should now have the KT4, Good weapons, Juggernog, a Shield, A gas mask, and the skull of nansapwe. First priority is the Massamune part. Go ahead and get some rainbow water and start watering the plant in the cave. If you're lucky you'll start on a normal round, then a spider round will commence, and you can finish before too long. Second thing to worry about is your challenges. Can't go down to the blue-115 stick area until you can shock the panel, and you can't shock the panel if you haven't done ALL of your rituals. It can be whole rounds before this is done, but it could be done relatively quick. Last thing to worry about is the spider. It's an easy boss, just watch it's legs to see where it's about to flatten, then use the KT-4 ONLY on the spiders. With any luck you'll be collecting the venom part AND free widows wine with this. NOTE: Beware, the round can sometimes change if you take too long. Don't rely on the spider being done on ONE round only. It might be worth getting a green plant to hold a zombie. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now the main easter egg is composed of 3 steps: -Use anywhere but here: This should work 100 percent of the time by THIS point in the eastere egg, if not, it's no biggy. -Get an AA bullet: This is going to be the hardest task. I've found best results come from plants that've been shot with the Massamune as well as blue water 3 times. There's no secret trick to this: Just get it. When the plane actually comes make sure the gun is LOADED, then fire and hope you get lucky with the timing. If a zombie starts to annoy you, use your knife to slow him down tremendously. -The zipline of hell: This thing is OUTRAGEOUSLY buggy and CAN Ruin your game. Reguardless to if you've got a quick revive, falling off the zip-line in the wrong place is PERMANENT death, no if-ands-or buts about it. I find it best to wait till you can't see the side of the box any more, then melee. Sometimes the trigger is holding back on the control sticks as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you can do all that, you've made it to the boss room. You should only keep your Masamune out and spray it from time to time. It not only offers a killing pool for spiders, rouge zombies, and thrashers, but ALSO gives you a speed boost to make training easier. For a perk set-up, I can only say one thing: DON'T bring mule kick into here. If you lose your masamune, you are DEAD. You can recover from a down, NOT a loss of your only working weapon. Likewise, don't be smart with the game either. Yesterday I tried to down myself while the KT-4 was upgrading to the massamune, when I got up and grabbed my gun, samantha's laughter got me. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And that's all my tips and tricks for a solo easter-egg run. I did mine today by round 29 using everything in this guide. Hope it helps!4 points

So after playing this map all too many times just to complete the Easter Egg w/ @Doppelgänger and @NaBrZHunter, I got to thinking - what exactly are we dealing with in this map? Specifically, story implications and what they lead beyond Zestubou No Shima. In order to get a better understanding for myself (and to hopefully see everyone's input) on certain questions that are still to be answered, here are the most common and intriguing questions regarding Der Eisendrache: 1) What became of Groph? There is already a topic discussing this, but if you have completed the Easter Egg, you are well aware that the Moon becomes annihilated, and Griffin Station with it. We can assume that there are teleporters on the Moon, but then we gotta ask this: where do those teleporters lead to? And if we did figure out a location, would Groph be dead or did he manage to leave before the rockets hit the station? I'm really curious to see what everyone says about this. 2) Is Samantha in control of the zombies here? It's a very iffy situation. I say yes; however, it's the Samantha of this universe controlling them rather than the Samantha we save in Origins/ Samantha that's supposedly in the House. Because this universe is shared by the Giant, we know that Maxis and Sam were betrayed and teleported by Richtofen 1.0. But we also know that the MPD on Moon, when teleported to the anti-gravity chamber of Der Eisendrache, only the Keeper resides in the Moon MPD. So what happened to Samantha? Her physical body should be inside the pyramid yet it isn't. 3) What is the history behind the castle? This is such a little-commented portion of the map, but I always find it intriguing when I dig into it. Let me start off by explaining the backstory a bit: when doing the Wolf Bow steps, the first step requires you to activate four paintings in a random order before getting your arrow. Little do most people know that most of the steps correlate to the origins of the castle's last occupancy prior to Group 935. Long ago, there was a knight who was part of the royal guard. The knight was a brave war solider, and eventually rose to the throne as king. He held the wolf insignia as his battle crest and was known throughout the lands as the Wolf King. Suddenly, a darkness swept the land and from a hole in the sky came an Apothicon monstrosity. The villages were set ablaze and an war was fought between the King's men and the dimensional creatures. The King won the war, and the Apothicons retreated back into the void, defeated. An unknown time after, the King was struck by a few arrows during battle and died alongside his faithful wolf companions. His corpse was laid to rest at the highest point of the chamber beneath Hall of the Ancients. Now this is all told by the paintings, remainder of the Easter Egg, and some items found all the way from Samantha/Maxis' rooms to the anti-gravity chamber themselves. Clearly, the Apothicons have attempted to conquer the universe before but were defeated. Interestingly enough, the bones of the King's wolves sit next to the Wolf Bow chest, next to one of the Keeper statues. Did the King receive help from the Keepers to defeat the Apothicons during the great war, and commemorated the Keepers as great protectors of the castle? It would explain why the armor of a solider with the Vril Device slot produces a Keeper spirit. 4) What corrupted the Keeper when it came back from Griffin Station? After much discussion, I'm inclined to believe that Groph attempted to trap the Keeper within the MPD. And whatever resided in the MPD (evil that also inhabited Samantha during Black Ops 1) corrupted the Keeper. Hence, why Richtofen mentions that Groph must've corrupted the creature. We know that Keepers - while powerful - aren't inherently evil. In fact, they are ancient guardians who will only attack when they feel threatened as seen in here and Shadows of Evil. When the Keeper returns to Earth, note how it floats above the Moon MPD - similar to the style of Samantha during the Moon easter egg. This leads me to a follow up question: 5) Is the Keeper boss battle set within the realm which the darkness lives inside the MPD? I mean, it seems obvious. You teleport to an unknown area with the corrupted yet larger Keeper byt DG-4ing the anti-gravity panels around the pyramid. It seems like you teleport to the within the MPD on a dimensional level. If you happen to have your birghtness up while in that stage, note how there is no opening beyond the cold walls of the room. Additionally, the pillars circling around the center appear...ancient in architecture, definitely beyond human conception. Is this the throne of the MPD where the controller's spirit resides in? 6) Why does Maxis not keep contact with the crew? In The Giant, we only talk to Maxis when activating the Fly Trap easter egg (the beacon becomes lit). However, in Der Eisendrache, he never speaks to us again. We know that he has a secret plan with Richtofen that the rest of the crew does not know about. But if they all know they must kill their 1.0 selves at the correct time and event, what is this hidden agenda that Maxis has entrusted in Richtofen? And where the hell is he to help us out? Maxis was helping the crew kill many Richtofen X.0s prior to them meeting up with Richtofen in The Giant. Can't wait to hear the responses and insight!4 points

Spoilers about the whole map FYI! Ok... For years there's been rumors of extra wonder weapons hidden in maps. In the BO1 days it was a monkey-bomb wall-buy up a ladder. In the BO2 days it was an upgraded Jet-gun. Earlier this Cod year it was the upgraded Apothicon's Servant. BUT GET THIS GUYS. THE SPIDER-BATE WONDER WEAPON IS REAL! Yeah! I know! Here's how you get it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.Kill no Spiders in the Spider Round and Mesmerize them. One of them has a red Mist , keep it alive and kill all other Spiders. 2.Take this one now to the Purple Water , you'll see the spider drinking. After that you'll do the same with the Blue and Green Water. 3.Bring the Spider to the lowered cage at Lab A , it will go into it. 4.Get the Spider up and Melee the Pad with your Electric Shield,then lower the Cage. 5.After 2 rounds there will be a Spider round with only red Spiders,kill all of them.Watch out these Spiders are stronger than normal Spiders. 6.Go back to the Pad and you should get your Spider Bait from the Cocooned Spider like the KT4 Part. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THIS IS AMAZING. Truly I thought this was IT for ZNS. No! I was wrong! Holy... I just can NOT get over this. I mean, just WOW. I'm flabbergasted. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, so, the weapon it's self does this: The use of the weapon will cause your character to cocoon themselves in a web, keeping them safe from zombies. Meanwhile they control a spider outside of the cocoon, with the ability to shoot webs at zombies! You DO appear to NOT be able to revive teammates however so THAT's a problem. Likewise, you're stuck in a 3rd person view the whole time, and your time is limited. Many are speculating that using the spider bait weapon somehow allows one to continue the easter egg somehow... I doubt this, but maybe it can shed some light on other things?4 points

So there is this character in the zombies universe who is being mentioned more and more through cryptic messages and we only know him by the letter M. We know that he has visited Maxis and that his presence, according to the radio on Zetsubou No Shima, "defied logic and reason". Now I believe that this M is Doctor Monty simply because his name is signed at the bottom of the Giant scraps here. You've already heard that before and you might even believe it. But I also think that this M character has also been referred to in previous games like Black Ops 1. Specifically this note in Kino Der Toten. "Be Wary of the Doctor. We are not sure how he arrived in this time and place." This is very similar to the way Maxis describes M's arrival in the radios. There isn't much else to say about this. NaBrZ Hunter has also suggested that this same Doctor could be the figure in the Nacht Der Untoten comic book loading screen which is an interesting idea. Maybe there has always been a mysterious time traveling Doctor who has followed us through out the games and this time the zombies team decided to give him a name and a story.4 points

This may just be the coolest possible-glitch, possible-easter egg, I've EVER seen. The story here is that this person, one DanielChoTV,(no relation to Mike TV) was cornered and managed to use a gobble-gum before death: Anywhere But Here: AKA Teleport my butt out of here. Expecting to be teleported to a normal location, Mr. TV here some how managed to appear in a zombie-spawn zone (this is evident by the zombies flashing into existence shortly after he arrives). However, Imagine his surprise when he finds these odd dragon-esque objects scattered around the room: -A dragon's egg (or something that looks like one) :Left of the screen at 2:25 -A blueprint for what APPEARS to be a dragon. : Seen at 1:02 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The dragon's blueprints very clearly depict both a 935 and Div. 9 logo. I'm willing to bet the farm that this is a collaborative experiment by both groups. Likewise, the head is VERY reminesque of the Dragon heads at Der Eisendrache. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm going to jump ahead and guess that the thing on the other side of the room to the blueprint, is a Dragon Egg. Particularly a genetic super-being developed by the collaboration of 935 and Div. 9. Seeing as this base is clearly the home of many other genetic experiments with element 115, It's not out of the question that this is the final product, or prototype. The obvious implementations of a trained dragon to further 935/Div 9's goals are quiet simplistic, with the end goal being a super-creature for raining fire on enemies of the Nazi Party. The question really is: Did this experiment ever actually work? My initial thought? Yes it did... This is evident of there being 3 egg-vats, but only one egg. The next question being: What happened to subjects A and B? Did they hatch and rein havoc? Were they experimented on by the scientists? Could there be a dragon above us blasting planes out of the sky? That last one isn't exactly my first guess, however it WOULD explain the RIDICULOUS number of plane crashes around here... The massive hole torn in the wall here is concerning as well. While the rest of the map is horribly twisted by overgrown vegetation and flooding, I DON'T think there's anywhere with the walls just flat out pulled apart like it is here, apart from the walls exposed by the Skull of Nan Sapwe... but those might be for different reasons. Then again, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, don't hate me, remember I'm on Xbox and I don't have actual access to this map, I have scoured some footage I've found of Lab B, Lab A, and the Bunker, but I can't really find anywhere . This really furthers the Dragon Mystery started in Der Eisendrache. After all, those dragon heads are REAL. Why are they there? Why do they eat zombies then turn back to stone and break? Are they related at all to these dragons here in Zetsubou no Shima? Another question to ask is: Were these dragons MADE, or FOUND. The blueprint may very well just be an estimate of what the baby dragon could grow to be, well I guess in either case it's that really. However if Div. 9 MADE this creature from scratch DNA, what did they use? If they FOUND this creature's eggs somewhere... Where was that? That's all I can really speculate on this matter, and I really can't look through the map to find more clues, if anyone else can find anything else, feel free to comment it!4 points

I've asked her where she found it, hopefully she replies. Also, I found one DNA structure piece on the shelf right next to pink 115 water. The shelf is not in the little corner room where the water is, but it's placed next to the wall of that room. Edit: Couldn't get a reply from her. I've been literally searching for this last piece for hours and I can't find it. it must be in an obvious spot if Glitching Queen found it the day the map pack came out Edit 2: Last piece found! I made a Reddit post and https://www.reddit.com/user/bicoezbluntkid remembered seeing it, so thanks to him we now have all the pieces to the DNA fingerprint picture. It's on the slope leading to the Pack-a-Punch room. Edit 3: Well here is the final result. Lighting was a bitch because it shines into the pieces in some rooms and some of the scraps we're cut off completely so it wasn't easy to match them in correct positions. With the source file I can however zoom and make out every number, except the end of the one in the middle that says "577, 691, 22......" but straight down from it is almost identical line, I think it could be the same row of numbers. It's hard to know because small parts were completely cut off in every piece around those numbers4 points

TGca Cipher Solved: " Entry 56: Just finished a very long shift. We were awaiting the test subjects arrival from the castle but they never showed. Those group 935 pigs didnt even bother to radio the asylum to let us know they were not coming. I am getting sick of those arrogant scientists. They have given the asylum the nickname Verruckt Asylum. I loathe it. We are as every bit as important to the completion of project as they are." So this was simply binary mapped to DNA codons. Here is a link to the site where I found the connection. (Forgot to add it lol) http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/134672-harvard-cracks-dna-storage-crams-700-terabytes-of-data-into-a-single-gram It has been speculated that this is not the end of this cipher. It could potentially house another meaning which is revealed by the way the TGca pairs are sequenced. Or it could have something to do with the torn up papers strewn across the map.4 points

I shut down the power for the night. we must conserve the gasoline, so i am told, because the Emperor is in doubt of the usefulness of our research here at the Rising run Facility, and that resupplying the facility will now occur every other month rather than our usually scheduled weekly drops. Hopefully, the new meteor site produces higher grade samples, ones we can actually use. Wait is that a plane I hear. The resupply is not scheduled for another week. I see a bright light in the sky...

Found something interesting in Treyarch's "Nikolai_Memories" video I'd like to share. Around the 1:07 mark of the video you see something moving in the background that is not a Zombie. Just before we see this, quote Nikolai: I can no longer deny the possibility of an unseen power, a guiding hand helping us to fulfill our destiny. After he says this the background fades back to the forest and pans to the right, and as this happens to can hear faint screech from the distance. He concludes with: My path is chosen, our fate has sealed. Before the video cuts to the scene, a figure of an animal is moving beyond the tree [on the right of the screen.] Here are what I believe are its horns, and if you look closely at its movement in the video, you'll see that it's an animal and its body, even the head. Understanding that this story has a lot of Norse mythology influences, I researched anything in its relation to Elk, Deer or Stag in the legends, and found something that has a surprisingly stellar comparison with Black Ops III. The legend of four red Deer named Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr and Duraþrór arching their necks, gnawing & chomping on the branches of the The World Tree. Why is this important and why the symbolism? The particular tree their gnawing on (Yggdrasil) that is an immense mythical tree that connects the nine worlds in Norse cosmology, regarded to be at the center of their universe. And what do we know of Black Ops III that is not so dissimilar to this idea? What do you think about this theory? I feel very certain that it's an Elk/stag in that video, if not it is something. I think I'm right in making this connection with Corvus and the frozen forest, etc. Especially during the time Nikolai talks about a 'guiding hand'. See for yourself. How far do you think this goes? If the unseen power are Stags, are we the Devils wolves?3 points

Straight outta Der Bunker scriptworks, my friends. For those of you who watch my videos, my apologies for the delay. Clearly not uncommon for life to get in the way of my channel, sadly. All the same, this is my home and I figger I ought to share what I've been working on, as I feel it's worth discussing. So without further ado...straight from the studio: Way back in 2011, with the discovery of the radios on the Black Ops 1 map, moon, it was revealed that Dr. Edward Richtofen’s renegade Group 935 scientists, after several years of work, had finally unlocked the secrets of the Moon Pyramid Device, better known as the MPD. The process of powering it, however, was as controversial as it was groundbreaking. Dr. Groph, the lead scientist at Griffin Station, along with his assistant scientist, Dr. Schuster, killed a lab rat in the vicinity of the MPD, and for the first time since its discovery, the ancient machine responded. Moon Audio Reel: Dr. Groph: Log 1075. Dr. Schuster and I have spent countless hours with the pyramid device in an attempt to understand how it functions. We have made little progress... until now. Today we uncovered what appears to be some kind of tank with a glass-like front. The glass itself seems- Dr. Schuster: I've got you now rat! Dr. Groph: Kill it Schuster! *Squishing sound followed by a whooshing sound* Dr. Schuster: Did you see that? Dr. Groph: Look! The capacitor is illuminated, the tank is filling- Dr. Schuster: The machine. It seems to be activated! What did you do? Dr. Groph: I think we just discovered what powers this machine. When the news reached Dr. Richtofen, he sent a large shipment of prisoners to the moon base with orders for Groph and Schuster to kill as many as necessary to open the device, preparing it for an inhabitant. Though appalled by the orders, Groph followed through, and the MPD was finally prepared for Richtofen’s grand scheme. Moon Audio Reel: Dr. Edward Richtofen: Griffin station. This is Eagle’s Nest. Status update. Over. Dr. Groph: Hello Doctor. We have the shipment, and are carrying out your orders. *Gunshot, grunting, and a whooshing sound are heard* Dr. Groph: It is grim work Doctor. Dr. Edward Richtofen: All in the name of science Dr. Groph. Continue until the tanks are full. Dr. Groph: Yes... Doctor. *Gunshot, grunting and a whooshing sound are heard* Dr. Groph: May God have mercy on us all. During this process, as replicated in the Moon Easter Egg, as the zombies are killed in proximity to the MPD, the glass tanks gradually fill with a bluish hue. This theory seems to have somehow entirely neglected the plethora of quotes that have debunked it over the years. It suggests that the bursts of light or "swoosh" sounds are souls being released from their zombified bodies, only to be trapped and used to power the MPD. So I believe the first question we should address is, do zombies even have souls? The answer is absolutely, “yes.” One of the first ever Easter Egg songs by Kevin Sherwood, “The One,” featured in Shi No Numa introduced the concept of a sort of (what you might call) buried sentience and cognizance, sung from the perspective of a zombie’s soul, trapped inside its body which acts violently against the soul’s will, driven by primal instinct and lust for blood, while the soul inside begs to have its body killed so it can escape. Later, the theme made a resurgence in Tranzit with the Easter Egg song “Carrion,” emphasizing the zombie’s enslavement to the neurological synapses forced upon its brain by the occupant of the MPD. NOTE: There has recently been posted on this site a contrasting analysis of "Carrion" by @FatedTitan. Recommend reading: So, yes, canonically, zombies have souls. Let’s move on to debunking the theory itself: are souls ever used to power anything in the zombies universe? Interestingly enough, it has never been said that souls can power anything. Direct quotes from Dr. Maxis and Dr. Richtofen (who we can safely assume to be the primary authorities on such subjects) explain that it is...more scientific than that. There is an explanation other than simple “supernatural” dark rituals. Richtofen's own quotes, taken from Origins, seem to quickly debunk it: “I believe only in science.” “Their energy is being refocused!” "It is the transformative power of 115! It draws energy from matter, living or dead!” -Dr. Richtofen, Origins So..energy. The MPD, the “Soul Boxes” from Origins and more are powered by matter converted into energy. In fact, there is even a quote from Dr. Maxis in Buried that confirms that the soul has already departed by the time the energy manifested as a ball of light even appears. “Departed souls leave residual energy in their wake, this energy must be used to fuel the lantern.” -Dr. Maxis, Buried Other quotes from Maxis reinforce this further: “The Lantern is a vessel for energy: the energy contained within all matter.” -Dr. Maxis, Buried Notice how Maxis emphasizes that the energy needed is contained within all matter, not only in beings occupied by the sentience we know as a “soul” or “spirit.” By this we can see that some technology in the zombies universe converts matter into energy, reflecting Albert Einstein’s famous concept expressed in the equation E=mc^2, which states that any object with mass has an incredible amount of potential and kinetic energy. The point being, while the technology in the zombies storyline can get scientifically farfetched, to say the least, there are still references to actual scientific principles in the story. In fact, both Dr. Maxis and Dr. Richtofen refer on several occasions to the first law of thermodynamics. “Energy cannot be destroyed, only transferred.” -Richtofen, Origins / Maxis, Buried So all along, the flashes of light we’ve been seeing is the conversion of matter into energy, and the transfer of that energy into devices that can put it to use. Even the Origins staves are no exception “Nothing can withstand the flood of energy that flows from this staff! The ancients knowledge, harnessed by the power of research. The day approaches when science will master all elemental forces.” -Dr. Richtofen, Origins What about maps like Shadows of Evil, however? “Fractional shadows of reality” as the Shadow Man so eloquently described it. During my research, I was actually surprised to find that EVEN IN SHADOWS OF EVIL, when Jessica is charging the Apothicon egg the energy concept remains consistent, while the word “souls” has never once been used. “The egg seems to be drawing energy from the dead. This is heavier than before. Must be all that energy it sucked up.” -Jessica, Shadows of Evil So, souls are not used to power anything, but they do exist in the zombies universe. So what role do they play? The disembodiment of souls goes back all the way to Moon as well, but is very different in nature from the proximity killing of zombies. The MPD and related Vril devices such as the Golden Rod, the Black Moon Egg and the Apothicon Rift Stone, AKA the Summoning Key have served to transfer and retain disembodied human souls. As seen in Moon when Richtofen enters the MPD by swapping souls with Samantha, as well as in Der Eisendrache and Zetsubou No Shima when Richtofen salvages the souls of Dempsey and Takeo, this technology allows sentient beings to exit their bodies and occupy machines. And yet even this is more reminiscent of science fiction than mysticism, resembling the ancient extraterrestrial technology described in 2001: A Space Odyssey. “They [the extraterrestrials]...were not yet immortal. Soon, as their machines were better than their bodies, it was time to move. First, their brains, and then their thoughts alone, they transferred into shining new homes of metal and plastic. In these, they roamed among the stars. They no longer built spaceships. They were spaceships.” -Arthur C. Clark, 2001: A Space Odyssey3 points

I bring some news. Glitching Queen managed to get the dragon drawings in the highest def as of now (I assume she used noclip command so maybe there's a higher definition). And @certainpersoniomaybe she has the scrap papers, I'm waiting for an answer. :p3 points

The spider boss music is quiet in game and gets drowned out by all the other sounds, so I've extracted it from the PC files and uploaded it for your listening pleasure. Enjoy. Uploading another video with all the music from the map, so if there is interest in that let me know and I'll post it here. There isn't any music that hasn't been discovered as far as I know.3 points

Solved the one from the reddit post. Below is the plaintext. While the loss of the Rising Sun Facility was unfortunate, the Emperor was so impressed with our final results that he has approved the construction of the new Division 9 facility on the island we selected. He assured me personally that he will spare no expense in advancing our research. You and I both know that what we accomplish at this new facility will win the war for Japan. What was used was the Vigenere Cipher with the alphabet from The List and the keyword: shinonuma3 points

Hi Guys! Another DLC, another map, another thread on the high round strategies. I'll be cataloging all of the strategies that I can find (or you guys bring to me) that are viable for the higher rounds, starting about 40+ or so. As before, I'll split the strategies into camping and training. So the camping ones first, here is one found by our very own @Doctor Richtofen: Decent for the lower rounds, not sure how it would be for anything higher yet, but good to know if you just want to farm headshots. Here is another I was able to find: As for training spots, this is what I've got so far: That's what I've got so far guys, if you have anything you want to add let me know! Also, I recommend IISteveII, ScottieI3, and TheRelaxingEnd for high round strats. If you guys haven't seen their channels be sure to go have a look. Another good content creator is S1ipperyJim, his high round guide to the map starts here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYWPGLpctp0 See ya3 points

Wow! Y'all keeping Tac busy updating the OP The Expedition Crew? At first I thought it was the Nacht Marines, then I thought it might be the Verruckt Marines? Then I thought it might be the O4 test subjects & that's how they ended up at Shi No Numa? But Brock & Gary? I'm loving all this backstory tie-ins. But like any Treyarch map, we are left with more questions than answers! Awesome work y'all! (You get Brains & you get Brains & you & you & you)3 points

We have been looking to add to our news system and make better use of it for sometime, we have lacked conviction in news articles for sometime and we need to better utilise the system. So as of now, we have added two members to a new group called "Media Staff" - it's not a staff position but it is a stepping stone so to speak to potentially becoming that at a later date. Anyway, big congratulations and thanks to @XPG Richtofen and @Tac - we are all looking forward to these articles. What will happen, is that when a new article is added, it will automatically post that article into the "Site News" section of the forum - we want to drive user engagement with the articles as much as possible. Any and all feedback as usual is welcome. View full news3 points
