ANCIENT EVIL

ANCIENT EVIL

Black Ops 4
Step 1
Activate Pack-A-Punch
Activate the Sentinel Artifact in the Amphitheater.
Grab the Golden Bridal from one of two spots. Doing so spawns a Gegenees:
  • Intersection of Treasuries
  • Stoa of Athenians
All players must stand in the circle at the Spartan Monument to ride Pegasus.
Once in the Underworld section, use your Special Weapon to open two cages and free the birds inside:
  • Python Pass: Shoot down the cage. Doing so spawns a Gegenees.
  • Cliff Ruins: Skeletons will guard this cage.
After freeing both birds, head to the Center of the World to start a lockdown. Once it ends, Pack-A-Punch will be unlocked.
Step 2
Light the Eternal Flame
Light the Eternal Flame by completing Tributes. Each rarity of redeemed reward gives your team points. Your team needs 9 points per player to light the flame (e.g. a 3-player match needs 27 points). Points are shared across the team. One player can earn all of them if needed.
Points per rarity redeemed:
  • Common (White): 0.5
  • Rare (Blue): 2
  • Legendary (Purple): 4
  • Epic (Orange): 6
Note
You'll need to build Apollo's Will (Shield) for the next step. See below.
Build
Apollo's Will
Collect the parts for Apollo's Will:
  • Shield: Dropped from the first Gegenees killed
  • Spear:
    • Intersection of Treasuries
    • Intersection of Treasuries
    • Stoa of Athenians
  • Handle:
    • River Pass
    • River Pass
    • River Pass
Build Apollo's Will at the Build Table in the Marketplace.
Step 3
Flaming Spear & Oil Slicks
Once the Eternal Flame is lit, melee it with the Spear on Apollo's Will to set it on fire.
Using the flaming Spear, melee and light 3 Oil Slicks:
  • Upper Road
  • Intersection of Treasuries
  • Spartan Monument
Note
You'll need to build the Redeemed Hand of Charon for the next step. See below.
Build
Redeemed Hand of Charon
Dormant Hand: Melee a pot or pile of dirt glowing purple to reveal and pick one up. Possible locations:
  • Overworld: Stoa of the Athenian (Shieldbearer's Fountain / Barque of Gold), Spartan Monument (General's Column / Fallen Statesman / Golden Taurus / Beneath the watchful gaze of Zeus), Intersection of Treasuries (Chaos of the Treasuries / Purple Blossoms / Where the Arrow splits the Road)
  • Underworld: Center of the World (Shrine of Wind and Sky / Top of the Center of the World), Python Pass (Chaos of Venom / Steps of Flesh and Bone / Where the mighty Titan points), River of Sorrows (Where sorrow flows beneath / Where Sorrow washes over), Cliff Ruins (On the broken bridge / Workbench of Hephaestus / Wheel of Water / Where the Serpent snared the eagle)
Fallen Hand of Charon:
  • Obtain a Dormant Hand.
  • Place it at the Shrine in Python Pass to start a lockdown. Kill the red zombies to end it.
  • Pick up the Fallen Hand of Charon from the Shrine.
Redeemed Hand of Charon:
  • Obtain the Fallen Hand of Charon.
  • Kill zombies in the River of Sorrows with it so they sink into the river.
  • Once enough zombies have sunk, you can drink from the fountain.
  • After drinking, you will not regenerate health. Run around the underground and collect 3 highlighted coins: some are false coins you can extinguish to discard.
  • Place all 3 real coins back at the Charon Shrine to open a portal. Enter it to start the Charon trial. Completing it grants the Redeemed Hand of Charon.
Step 4
Statue Eyes
Shoot a charged shot of the Redeemed Hand of Charon onto the ground at the Spartan Monument, in front of the statues.
Stand in the charged shot. Your screen will go black and white, and one statue will have glowing eyes for a short time.
Shoot the glowing-eyed statue with an uncharged shot from the Redeemed Hand of Charon to break it.
Repeat this 3 more times (4 total) to complete the step.
Step 5-6
Cogs
Shoot open 3 walls to reveal cogs:
  • Intersection of Treasuries
  • Intersection of Treasuries
  • Spartan Monument
Throw the Spear of Apollo's Will into each cog when the small and big cog align, stopping them next to each other.
A wall in the Stoa of Athenians will now open, revealing another cog. Three statues nearby will be moving. Throw the Spear into this cog when all 3 statues face the middle.
Step 7
Ra Step & Electric Catalyst
The next two steps (Ra Step and Electric Catalyst) can be done in either order: and the Electric Catalyst step can be progressed at the same time as the Ra Step.
Ra Step: There's an Ankh stuck inside a Chaos Crystal in the Intersection of Treasuries. Lure a Gegenees to shield-blast the Chaos Crystal, dropping the Ankh. Pick it up. Killing the Gegenees also drops a Golden Spear, which you'll need for the Electric Catalyst step.
You'll need to build the Redeemed Hand of Hemera for the Ra Step:
  • Fallen Hand of Hemera: Obtain a Dormant Hand, place it at the Shrine in the Monument of Craterus to start a lockdown, and kill the yellow zombies to end it. Pick up the Fallen Hand of Hemera.
  • Redeemed Hand of Hemera:
    • Shoot 3 mirrors with a gun to move and realign them: Upper Road, Temple Terrace, Gymnasium Bathhouse.
    • Shoot each mirror with the Fallen Hand of Hemera to bounce a ball of light into a bowl. Melee the light in each bowl to transfer it onto the Fallen Hand of Hemera, then run back to the Hemera Shrine and melee one of its bowls to transfer the light. This is timed. Repeat for all 3 mirrors/bowls.
    • With all 3 Shrine bowls lit, a portal opens. Enter it for the Hemera trial. Completing it grants the Redeemed Hand of Hemera.
Place the Ankh and the Redeemed Hand of Hemera in the Ra Perk Statue's hands to start a defense step.
The Ra Statue will fire a beam at the back wall. Skeletons will try to block it from both sides. Kill them to avoid failing the step.
Once the wall opens, take the Scepter of Ra and give it to the Ra Statue.
Fallen Hand of Gaia:
  • Obtain a Dormant Hand.
  • Place the Dormant Hand at the Shrine in the Spartan Monument to start a lockdown, kill the green zombies to end the lockdown.
  • Pick up the Fallen Hand of Gaia from the Shrine.
Redeemed Hand of Gaia:
  • Obtain the Fallen Hand of Gaia.
  • Locate 3 Trees around the map and shoot the Red Chaos Crystals off of them to reveal a Seedling. Pick up the Seedlings and bring them all back to the Shrine:
    • Intersection of Treasuries
    • Stoa of the Athenians
    • Temple Terrace
  • Once you have placed all 3 Seedlings into the Gaia Shrine, a portal will open. Enter it to start the Gaia trial. Completing it grants the Redeemed Hand of Gaia.
With the Redeemed Hand of Gaia, go to the Offering of the Attalids and look to the left of the Danu statue, to the far back wall outside the map, and shoot the green vines. Two more vines will appear next to and above the Danu statue. Shoot these and hit both with a single Gaia shot. Three final vines will then appear to the right of the Danu machine; shoot these with a single Gaia shot as well, and it will spawn a Gegenees who drops a Golden Spear for the next step.
Electric Catalyst Step:
  • Kill a Gegenees and pick up the Golden Spear it drops (you may already have this from the Ra Step).
  • Place the Golden Spear in the dial on the floor in the Offering of the Attalids: this adds a yellow electric line to the circle.
  • Kill an Electric Catalyst on the dial. Symbols will begin rotating around the dial. All yellow except one blue symbol.
  • Interact with the Golden Spear to stop the rotation with the blue symbol aligned to the electric line. Count the rotations needed from where you first see the blue symbol to the electric line. Each rotation corresponds to one golden symbol passing.
  • Kill another Electric Catalyst to open another dial section, then repeat 2 more times (3 total). Each successive set rotates faster.
Step 8
Amphitheater God Hand Trial
In the Amphitheater, colored lights on the floor correspond to each player's God Hand. Every player must stand on their associated colored light to start this step.
During the trial, colored lights may appear in the center of the Amphitheater. The player with that God Hand must run and stand on it. Zombies will then spawn glowing with that God Hand's color:
  • Charon. Red: Use the charged attack to kill the group of red zombies standing close together.
  • Gaia. Green: Use the charged attack to line up and kill the green zombies.
  • Hemera. Yellow: Use the charged attack to quickly kill yellow zombies coming from the back barricades.
  • Ouranos. Blue: Use the charged attack to quickly kill the blue zombies lined up against the stands.
If zombies are in the stands above, an uncharged shot is enough to kill all 3.
If your screen turns black and white between waves, return to your original spotlight.
Repeat for 3 rounds total: round 1 has 3 waves, round 2 has 4 waves, round 3 has 5 waves. After the final round, you'll receive a Max Ammo and 5 Bonus Point drops.
Warning
If you fail a wave 5 times within a single round, you must end the round and restart it.
Step 9
River of Sorrows Door
Shoot the symbols on the door in the River of Sorrows near the Spitfire Wallbuy in the correct order. The players controlling Bruno and Shaw must interact with the door to trigger a cutscene.
Note
If only one of Bruno or Shaw is present, that player alone can interact and a bot will fill in for the step. If neither is present, you can simply move on to the next step.
Note
You'll need to build the Pegasus Strike for the next step. See below.
Build & Step 10
Pegasus Strike & Ballista
Collect the parts for the Pegasus Strike:
  • Prongs: River of Sorrows (1 / 2 / 3)
  • Anvil: Cliff Ruins (1 / 2 / 3)
  • Hammer: Python Pass (1 / 2 / 3)
Build the Pegasus Strike on the Forging Table in the Cliff Ruins.
Place a Pegasus Strike on the blue symbol up the stairs at the River of Sorrows to raise a Ballista.
Note
You'll need to build the Redeemed Hand of Ouranos for the next step. See below.
Build
Redeemed Hand of Ouranos
Fallen Hand of Ouranos:
  • Obtain a Dormant Hand.
  • Place it at the Shrine in the Center of the World to start a lockdown. Kill the blue zombies to end it.
  • Pick up the Fallen Hand of Ouranos from the Shrine.
Redeemed Hand of Ouranos:
  • There are 3 giant arrows in the Underworld. Fling a zombie into each using the Fallen Hand of Ouranos: Center of the World, Cliff Ruins, Python Pass.
  • Hitting each arrow releases a feather. Use the Fallen Hand of Ouranos to hit the feathers and redirect them to the Ouranos Shrine.
  • Once all 3 feathers are in the Shrine, a portal opens. Enter it for the Ouranos trial. Completing it grants the Redeemed Hand of Ouranos.
Step 11-12
Aim & Fire the Ballista
Standing where you placed the Pegasus Strike, use the charged attack of the Redeemed Hand of Ouranos to move the Ballista until it aims at the Python.
Melee the Eternal Flame with the Spear of Apollo's Will to transfer the flame onto it.
Activate the Venom Trap in Python Pass and run through it while holding the flaming Spear to poison its tip.
Using this Poisoned Flaming Spear, melee the back of the Ballista to fire it.
Final Steps
Boss Fight: Pegasus & Perseus
All players need to interact with the Portal up the stairs in the Center of the World to start the boss fight.
The boss fight has two phases. Everyone having a God Hand is recommended. The Helion Salvo and Homunculus are also very helpful.
Warning
If you have Pegasus Strikes, you will lose them upon entering the boss fight.
Pegasus Phase:
  • There are 3 islands: one will be destroyed halfway through.
  • When Pegasus flies in, shoot it to knock it down. Uncharged God Hand shots or locking on with the Helion Salvo work best.
  • Once knocked down, Pegasus falls onto one of the islands.
  • Use the jump pads to fly to that island and damage Pegasus with your Special Weapon.
  • After Pegasus gets back up (takeoff), evacuate the island. Its electricity will start damaging you.
  • Repeat until Pegasus is defeated.
Perseus Phase:
  • The second island is destroyed, leaving only the first.
  • When Perseus strikes lightning down on the island, he is teleporting there.
  • When Perseus is on your island, shoot him to drop him to his knees, then damage him with your Special Weapon.
  • Repeat until Perseus is defeated.
  • Once defeated, pick up the Key he drops to finish the Main Quest.
Tip
In both phases, the fire that Perseus throws down will rapidly recharge your Special Weapon if you stand in it.
