Kino der Toten — Black Ops Zombies Easter Egg Guide

Flip the switch at the back of the stage. There is no basement to check on this map — that is the mistake most new players make. This lights the theatre and switches on the stage teleporter pad.

Speed Cola is in the Foyer, which has three zombie windows and enough open floor for a comfortable early loop. Jugger-Nog is through in the Theatre. Mule Kick is upstairs in the Upper Hall portrait room.

Quick win: The Foyer is the single most forgiving room on the map — bank points there before pushing toward the Stage.

With power on, hold Use on the stage teleporter pad to link it to the lobby mainframe, then ride up to the Projector Room. Pack-a-Punch is 5,000 a go. A clock above the machine counts your stay down — you are ejected back to the Stage the instant the second hand reaches twelve, so grab your gun before then and never leave one inside. After a trip the teleporter needs roughly a minute to cool down, so line your points up before you go, not after you land.

Tip: The stage turret and an electric trap are strong hold tools during that cooldown.

Quick win: Every relink is also a free shot at landing somewhere holding a film reel (step 4).

Version: The standalone mobile spin-off drops two of the four teleporter destinations — the Pentagon Conference Room and the dentist/interrogation room are not present — and the projector just loops a generic montage instead of taking real reels.

Each trip drops you randomly in one of the four rooms; three hold a reel between them (one room may come up empty) — intact bedroom (table, bed or rocking chair), destroyed bedroom (bed, table or window), dentist room (cart or either counter), Pentagon room (TV, projector or front table). Carry each back to the Projector Room and load it in — it plays a clip and a voice note from Ludvig Maxis.

Quick win: The exact spot barely matters — the task is cycling trips until all three reel rooms have come up.

Hold interact on each, any order: the spawn corner, in a glass jar by the lower zombie window; the Dressing Room, on the black table behind the two mannequins; the Storage Room, on a shelf beside a zombie window. Once per match. 115 by Elena Siegman plays once all three register.

Quick win: All three sit on your natural route to Pack-a-Punch and the Box, so no detour is needed.

Shoot the radio hidden up in the theatre chandelier, then the one on the distant tower visible from the Alley barrier, for extra story audio (a precise bullet weapon makes both easier to confirm). In the Upper Hall portrait room, interact with each of the five framed pictures: the four Ultimis portraits (the line depends on which character you are playing) and the obscured fifth.

Load all three film reels first — the rocket does nothing until they are in. In the Dressing Room, stand in front of the LEFT-hand of the two mannequins by the Speed Cola door and jump on the spot five times. Then keep riding and relinking the stage teleporter: the Pentagon room is only one of its random destinations, so cycle trips until you land there. Interact with the small model rocket on the table before the room fades; it launches for the story beat.

Tip: If nothing fires, confirm all three reels are actually loaded, redo the five jumps at the left mannequin, and try again — get the order right (reels, then jumps, then teleport).

Confirmation cue: The rocket visibly launches.

Not in the 2010 disc version. At the blue Alley door, listen for a knock pattern, then melee the door to repeat it back — ten possible patterns are documented, e.g. 1-1-5, 1-2-1, 6-6-6, 9-3-5. Match three separate sequences; all three correct spawns a Samantha doll (in front of the stage, or on rubble to the left of it — accounts differ). Interact, then find and shoot five more dolls that spawn one at a time; a Samantha laugh means you were too slow or wrong, and you restart from the first doll. We count ten known spawn points (including the chandelier orb, the projector-room sill and the stage platform); another list names seven, only partly overlapping (a Stage house-prop, a ceiling grate by the Stage/Dressing Room trap, a balcony, the chandelier, a Theatre-alley chair, an upper balcony, the Pack-a-Punch room) — sweep broadly rather than trust either list as exhaustive. Interact with the standing doll once more: the song plays and a free Max Ammo spawns.

Version: BO3/Zombies Chronicles only — does not exist in the 2010 Black Ops map.

A HubPages high-round guide favours the top of the spawn-room stairs, second-floor door kept shut, so zombies climb only two staircases from below while teammates split to cover both — the guide says this out-paces running trains for round progression. Loadout: an ICR-1 or KN-44 (BO3-era build) Pack-a-Punched, plus Jugger-Nog, Speed Cola, Double Tap and Deadshot Daiquiri, the last one singled out for making headshots easier.

Tip: A separate HubPages guide instead runs three players on the Alley steps and one on the back barricade by Double Tap, reporting round 26 — either spot works by limiting zombies to one approach direction.

Quick win: Bank a crawler between rounds at either spot for a breather to repair or reposition.
