How to complete the Terminus easter egg in Black Ops 6
You’ll need to check off the following objectives in order to complete Terminus' easter egg. Click on the objective to be taken to that section of the guide:
Craft the Beamsmasher

TheDRI-11 Beamsmasheris the Wonder Weapon of Terminus, and a truly wondrous piece of work it is indeed. It fires a continuous beam that’ll obliterate anything in your way, but crafting it takes a darn long time. We’ve made a guide specifically devoted to finding this big gun for everyone who wants to prioritise it first and foremost, so head on over to our comprehensive look athow to craft the Beamsmasher.
Rescue Nathan
Once the Beamsmasher’s in your hands, it’s time to acquire a missingHard Drive, which can be found at one of theTentacle Trapsscattered across the map. You may have come across these when searching for the Beamsmasher’s components - basically, they’re grates in the ceiling that contain nasty tendrils which will come down and attack you if you stand underneath. Keep an eye out for a tentacle trap that’s broken with a keycard and blood splattered on the floor below it. Once you find this trap and activate it, shoot the tentacled mass with the Beamsmasher for it to drop the Hard Drive. Refer to the following maps and location descriptions if you’re not sure where the Tentacle Traps are:

Take the Hard Drive back to the Guard Station where Peck is and put it in the deposit slot. Peck then gives you instructions to head to the Bio Lab and interact with the main central chamber. Doing so revealsNathan Aguinaldo, a truly tragic character and the brother of my favourite Operator, Maya Aguinaldo. If you’re playing as Maya during this segment, you’ll get lots of cool extra dialogue that adds to the overall Zombies storyline.
Saving Nathan from his Bio Lab prison requires finding a three digit keypad code scattered throughout Terminus. The code is randomised per playthrough and hidden in some pretty obscure places. You’ll have to search in the following three locations:

Another 8! Huzzah. |Image credit:IGN/Activision
The culmination of this scene is all the more potent if you’re playing as Maya. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Activision
Find Node Connectors
After the Nathan fight, dive into the Bio Lab’s water and swim down until you find a keycard. Take it to the Communications room (south of where you find the Stamin-Up) and use it on the computer on the top floor. You’ll get an error message, along with a missive from Peck to go to the map’s Shipwreck to findNode Connectors.

You’ll need to hop in a boat to head to the Shipwreck. Circle around the middle of the boat until you see a hole that serves as an entrance; go on in and then climb up the ladder to enter a room with two Node Connectors. Once you pick them up, the room goes into lockdown and a zombie wave spawns. Once they’ve been blasted away, you’ll have to visit three different locations to slot in your Node Connectors. One of these locations will randomly have a Node Connector already; in which case move on to the next one. Refer to the following maps and descriptions to find the locations, which are as follows:

Hack Water Satellites
With the Node Connectors in their places, go back to the Guard Station to get your next directive from Peck. You’ll get aHacking Device, which you need to take to the Docks. Here you need to drive out in a boat and search for threeWater Satellites. Each boat is swarming with Parasite enemies and you’ll need to defeat them to start hacking. You also need tohack all three satellites within two minutes of each otheror risk having to do the whole thing all over again. A tentacled enemy will also attack if you dilly-dally in the water for too long, so be speedy. The Water Satellites should be hidden in quadrantsD7,E2, andG6- you can also just check your map to see where Parasites are gathering to get a good sense of where they are.
As soon as you hack the third satellite, hurry back to the Bio Lab. You’ve got to disable three warheads before they explode, and you’ve only gotfive minutesto do so before all of Terminus blows up. This is probably the most pain-in-the-butt part of the easter egg aside from the last boss battle. The explosive warheads resemble purple coils hidden in the wall, and you need to stand still to disable them while zombies spawn all over you. If you’ve got good teammates, this will hopefully be less of an anxious experience. If you don’t, try using Smoke Grenades to set up a smokescreen cloud near each bomb, giving you some breathing room free of interruptions.
Defeat Patient 13
Finally it’s time for the big, bad final boss battle -Patient 13. The boss arena will open once all players opt in, and you’ll be faced with an absolutely monstrosity. Fighting Patient 13 is a tough affair with glowing weak spots that change throughout the fight. At first, its weak spots are on both shoulders, and it’s a good idea to duck behind the boxes for cover in the area as you fire away. Ideally, you can have allies distract Patient 13 as you do so, and it really helps to have someone with a Chopper Gunner at the ready.
When the shoulder weak spots are taken out, a zombie wave will emerge and poison will flood the arena. To reduce the poison, fire at the tentacles just outside the arena. Eventually, Patient 13 will appear once again, and its weak spot has now shifted to its tentacles. Once enough damage has been done, the weak spot will shift to Patient 13’s mouth. When you’ve blasted the mouth into oblivion, Patient 13 disappears once again and a new zombie wave replete with Amalgams and Manglers emerges.
Defeating Patient 13 is a lengthy ordeal. Mutant Injection, Chopper Gunner, and anything else you’ve got that can help wreck this mucus monster are all ideal. |Image credit:IGN/Activision
When you’ve taken care of the wave, Patient 13 reappears one final time, and the arena is greatly reduced, leaving you highly susceptible to hordes with only two boxes to hide behind. It’s time to use the big guns and whatever Scorestreaks you have. Whenever Patient 13 turns bright blue and your screen lights up, go into the water or hide behind the boxes to avoid being fried. In the meantime, target Patient 13’s new weak spots, which will switch between its blue eyes and mouth.
The fight’s a lengthy one, to be sure, but once you’re victorious and leave the match, you’ll get a tonne of excellent rewards, including 5,000 XP and the Terminus Quest Complete Calling Card. Maya also gets the cool Trophy Collector Operator skin - not the best reward for having to shoot her brother in the face, but it sure looks cool.
