Ascension Guide | Black Ops 1 Zombies

Power

• There is one Power Switch, and it's located at the top of the building in the "middle" of the map.

Pack-a-Punch

1. Turn on the Power.
2. Around the map, there are three lunar lander stations (the Lander is the device you "rode in" on at the start of the match). These stations are located in the "far corners" of the map.
3. You must ride the lander starting at each location back to spawn. You can summon the Lander to a station via the control panel in the station.
4. As you return to Spawn, the rocket icon will fill up green, indicating your progress. Lunar Lander locations:
   • PhD Flopper - On the right when coming from spawn, on the way to Power
   • Stamin Up - On the left when coming from spawn, at the back of that path
   • Speed Cola - In the buildings past the power switch, toward the rocket
5. Once all three landers have been ridden, and the rocket icon is fully green, interact with the button beside the power switch in the power room. This will launch the rocket.
   • You can spawn a free Double Points powerup by destroying the rocket while it's flying. Once the rocket starts moving up, shoot it till it explodes. The Double Points powerup will spawn below where the rocket was.
6. The Pack-a-Punch is located in a side room, below where the rocket was.

Space Monkey Special Round/Free Perk powerup

• Instead of the standard Hellhound Max Ammo rounds, lunar landers will fall from the sky, and Zombie Monkeys will spawn from them.
• The monkeys can still attack players, but they will prioritize attacking perk machines.
• The monkeys will run to a perk machine and start "attacking" it. If they aren't killed quickly enough, all players will lose that perk. You'll hear a sound, and the icon will start to flash on your HUD when a monkey is on it.
• A monkey round can only start once a player has purchased a perk.
• If you can kill all the monkeys before any of them damage a perk machine, the last monkey of the round will drop a Free Perk powerup, which will give you a free random perk (even if you already have four).

Casimir Mechanism Main Quest

Stats (Co-op): Difficulty - 3/10, Est. Completion Time - 1:20 to 1:40 Hrs, , RNG Rating - 5/5 (Box Luck)

1. You'll need four players to complete this Main Quest.

2. By the end of the Main Quest, you'll need upgraded versions of the Ray Gun (or Mark 2 in BO3) and Thundergun, and the Gersh Device and Matryoska Dolls equipment. Ideally, each player would have one of the different items.

3. Prerequisites

4. Turn on the Power and unlock Pack-a-Punch.

5. Node 1 - Gersh Device Generator

6. Obtain the Gersh Device from the Mystery Box.
7. Outside the map, in the open area near the PhD Flopper (Widow's Wine) Lunar Lander station, there is a sparking generator. You'll need to throw a Gersh Device at the machine to suck it up. If it was close enough, the generator will disappear, and you'll hear a sound.
8. Go to the Stamin-Up Lander Station and interact with the TV in the flooded area below some stairs. An eye symbol will appear, and a voice will announce something about Node 1 if done correctly.
9. Near the TV, there's a crashed rocket module on the ground between the TV and the Claymore/Trip Mine wallbuy. There will be a single light turned on. After every main section of the quest, one more light will turn on. You can come here to vaguely check which step you're on.

10. Node 2 - Perk Machine Buttons

11. On the next Space Monkey Max Ammo round, four buttons will appear on walls near each of the following Perk Machines. All players must interact with a different button at the same time.
    • The Monkeys will only start spawning once anyone in the game has purchased a perk.
    • If you fail to interact on one round, you'll have to go till the next Monkey round to try again.
    • Perk Machine Button location:
      • Juggernog - In front of the machine
      • PhD Flopper/Widow's Wine - Left of the machine
      • Speed Cola - On the otherside of the doorway, to the right of the machine
      • Stamin-Up - On the wall just to the left of the machine
12. If done correctly, a sound will play, the buttons will disappear, and the voice will say something about Node 2.

13. Node 3 - Pack-a-Punch Pressure Plate

14. All players must stand on the pressure plate (circular area), below where the Rocket was near Pack-a-Punch, for two minutes straight. You can shoot, use equipment, and move while on the pressure plate. However, the best way to do this is to make a crawler, bring it to the other side of the map (around the Stamin Up area), then run to the pressure plate. The knife in the clock on the wall indicates your progress.
15. When the knife makes a full revolution around the clock, a Nuke will go off, and the announcer will talk about Node 3.

16. Node 4 - Spell Luna with the Lunar Lander

17. In the air around the map, you'll see letters (only while a lander is active). You'll need to collect letters in order to spell "Luna". To collect a letter, you'll need to fly into it while riding a Lunar Lander. There are other letters, not in Luna, that you'll need to avoid.
18. The best way to do this is to have one player at three of the four Lander Stations (Spawn, Speed Cola, and Stamin-up), with the last player standing on the Lander at spawn. One of the stations will call the lander to them, with the spawn player riding it. Here's the optimal order to call the landers:
    1. Lander at spawn called to Stamin-up, collecting "L"
    2. Stamin-up to Spawn, collecting "U"
    3. Spawn to Speed Cola, collecting "N"
    4. Speed Cola to Stamin-up, collecting "A"
19. If done correctly, the announcer will talk about Node 4.

20. Node 5 - Shoot Gersh Device with Everything

21. Obtain an upgraded Ray Gun (or Mark 2), upgraded Thundergun, Gersh Device and Matryoska Dolls equipment.
22. In front of the crashed rocket module, near the Stamin-Up lander, there will be a white orb on the ground. Throw a gersh device so it lands on top of the orb, then shoot it with the Thundergun, Ray Gun, and throw a Matryoska Doll at it.
23. Fire until the Orb begins to rise into the air. Doctor Gersh will speak, thanking you.
24. You will be given a 90-second Death Machine (and all Perks on BO3 only).

'Abracadavre' Song

• Interact with three Teddy Bears around the map:
  1. Spawn Room - On the upper level, left of the Olympia/RK5 wallbuy
  2. Speed Cola Lander Station - On top of the wall, left of the hallway between the station and Speed Cola
  3. Stamin-up Lander Station - Behind the fence, left of the lander when facing the station

Ultimis Matryoshka Dolls

• Around the map, there are four Matryoshka Dolls, one for each of the four characters. Interacting with one will play a short, humorous quote. Locations:
  • Takeo - Next to the Widow's Wine/PhD Flopper perk machine
  • Richtofen - On a desk on the floor above Juggernog
  • Nikolai - On the machine left of Speed Cola
  • Dempsey - Next to the Claymore/Trip Mine wallbuy in the Stamin Up lander station area

'Samantha's Sorrow' Song + Free Max Ammo (BO3 Only)

Link to song on streaming here.

1. Open Pack-a-Punch and obtain the Gersh Device from the Mystery Box.
2. In the room with the Pack-a-Punch machine, a Samantha Doll can be found on a pipe below the walkway. Throw a Gersh at the Doll to collect it.
   • If the Gersh is thrown too far from the Doll, the Gersh won't activate.
3. Go to the Widow's Wine Lander area, and throw a Gersh device at the Samantha Doll on the railing (Zoomed in) beside the green walls (the outside walls of the power room).
   • Line up to land the Gersh: Stand here and Aim here.
4. Go to the Stamin Up area, and throw a Gersh device at the Samantha Doll on the large beam above and to the left of the Stamin Up machine. After collecting this doll, a sound should play.
5. Go to Pack-a-Punch area, and interact with the Samantha Doll in the bush (Zoomed Out) behind the Mystery Box location.
6. You need to shoot five Samantha Dolls in the following order:
   1. On the debris right of the Kuda wallbuy
   2. On a metal barrel next to the Wunderfizz machine
   3. Underneath the other large beam (kind of above the Gobblegum machine) near Stamin-up
   4. On the ground in front of the broken rocket module in front of the Stamin Up Lander Station
   5. Directly above the previous location
7. Return to Pack-a-Punch area, and interact with the Samantha Doll again. A skeleton hand will grab it, and a Max Ammo power up will spawn.
