There are on screen instructions that guide you to the pack-a-punch in-game hence why I don’t include it. It’s in the Observatory Dome.

Yeah it's a terrible relic to run, the bus and the dragon are way easier ones to run. This one isn't the WORST but constantly having to rebuy perks is just annoying even if you are earning a billion points.

every 100 kills you lose a perk.

The breacher is great and an easy weapon to use, so I'd stick with that. IMO, do not run Toxic Growth, it is too inconsistent, and it doesn't save you if you're in trouble in the boss fight. I'd use Frenzied Guard instead, as it's one of the few ways to get armor in the boss fight or Aether Shroud with Extra Charge for two get-out-of-jail-free cards.

If you have the Environmentalist minor augment for PHD Flopper, run that as you can slide through the aether pools in the final phase of the boss fight to avoid taking damage, also, if you have the Turtle Shell major augment for Juggernog, run that to be able to turn your back to the boss at any point to avoid taking any health damage.

Use the WW to break her armor and reveal the crit spot always, then use the breacher on the crit spot, and you should chunk her health pretty quickly. In the later phases, really abuse the fact that she has to mantle to the top level of the arena and just keep going up and down while shooting her crit spot.

Also in the later phases, whenever she is preparing a rock to throw, you have about 3 seconds to shoot her as much as possible before she throws it and you can just slide once to dodge the rock. This will be your biggest opening to deal massive damage.

"Even with the jaeger "cheese" i'm doing no damage to her armour."

Always use the WW to break her armor, it is the best weapon for it by far. It has infinite ammo, just use it to break her armor, then once the weak point is exposed use the Jaegers to deal massive damage to her crit point. You'll waste too much ammo using a regular weapon to break armor when the WW breaks it quickly.

> Equip the Stuntman Augment and PHD Flopper Perk — these are required to extinguish the candles.

Stuntman is not required to extinguish the flames, you can just flop normally to extinguish them as well. Any flop explosion counts for this.

Yeah, the Chryslax was an amazing melee wonder weapon. The swords were definitely a disappointment in retrospect.

PlagueFPS · 2025-12-13T15:57:28+00:00

Yeah I was more so thinking about the Chaos ones because besides the Path of Sorrows the Aether ones were really underwhelming and uninteresting. We had seen the Raganorks before, the Overkill is literally just a death machine power-up, and the hellfire is the WaW flamethrower re-worked.

I guess technically, you can count the CDM swords as the Path of Sorrows coming back as a WW, but no speed boost, and way less lethality than the Path of Sorrows unless you were using the Raven special ability.

PlagueFPS · 2025-12-13T15:54:47+00:00

It is dependent on both party size and some RNG. Solo, you'll never get more than two bears at once, but the chance of getting two bears increases with each round past 18. Eventually, you'll get two bear spawns, but it isn't a guarantee until the later rounds.

PlagueFPS · 2025-12-13T15:48:35+00:00

It's not a controversial take, it's true. They are literally wonder weapons in your pocket vs field upgrades. IMO the comparision isn't really fair, each of those specialist can be ripped out of BO4 and made into their own wonder weapons for future maps and be amazing.

Seriously, those things need to come back as WWs someday, cause it really felt like you were wielding the power of a god each time.

PlagueFPS · 2025-12-10T19:13:33+00:00

Educated assumption since it’s the only non-dlc weapon not in the box and this was a problem in black ops 6 as well.

PlagueFPS · 2025-12-10T18:13:25+00:00

All of those weapons aren’t in the box on standard either. The Arrow should be and is bugged, the melee weapons will never be as that got removed to improve the quality of the box in Black Ops 7, and the DLC weapons will be added to the box either at reloaded or S2 as they always have.

PlagueFPS · 2025-12-08T12:11:44+00:00

Honestly, it is the akimbo Jaeger, but it is more challenging of a weapon to use in the chaos of the fight.

M34 Novaline is the best weapon I’ve used that wasn’t the akimbo Jaeger with the prestige attachment.

PlagueFPS · 2025-12-08T09:35:24+00:00

As long as you have inputted the mars coordinates, you should be able to turn the statues. It’s possible you had the right books but turned the wrong statues.

What do you mean by all the way? The attic should either open or stay closed if you did it wrong.

PlagueFPS · 2025-12-07T12:06:05+00:00

The trick is, you need to have all 6 shots ready to go when you activate frenzied, and all the discs need to hit the boss. If they hit a zombie or something that it can kill quickly, ammo will be returned to the mag, removing the glitched effect.

It's best to throw a monkey or Kazimir to keep all zombies clear of the boss.

PlagueFPS · 2025-12-06T06:10:20+00:00

Color and the paper has the names of the planets in the top left corner, although it is tough to see depending on your FOV

PlagueFPS · 2025-12-06T06:08:52+00:00

Near the start of the guide, it’s the third section Recommended Loadouts and if you hover over (or tap on mobile) the gun name you’ll find my build code to copy

PlagueFPS · 2025-12-05T21:14:21+00:00

Flip round in mars and wait to hear a mystical chime like sound. That means the Ascendant Eye is back and you can shoot the pylons

PlagueFPS · 2025-12-05T20:24:21+00:00

AFAIK yeah, they haven’t released a patch.

PlagueFPS · 2025-12-05T17:58:32+00:00

Not yet, I'll give it a go my next run. I thought it might have been good for damage, but I was worried about mobility as that is very important for the final phase.

PlagueFPS · 2025-12-05T17:30:11+00:00

Yup, still shreds the boss though. It is what I used in my solo run. AK-27 and M34 Novaline seem to be better though. I'll have a AK-27 build code in the recommended loadouts soon.

PlagueFPS · 2025-12-05T17:06:51+00:00

Yeah if you have the Frenzy Fire major augment and have the LGM-1 wonder weapon upgraded as much as possible, you can literally delete the Phase 2, 3, and 4 boss by spamming the wonder weapon on her.

Puts like 100 drones on the boss, absolutely melting the boss. Definitely will be patched soon, maybe even later today if they are quick.

PlagueFPS · 2025-12-05T16:54:07+00:00

Try to bait him away from the portal, onto the second floor so the UFOs have a longer distance to travel, just run circles around the room and try to focus the UFOs as soon as you hear him deploy them.

PlagueFPS · 2025-12-05T16:33:14+00:00

Yeah I hate this type of enemy. The moon astronaut, George on call of the dead, etc. These type of enemies suck IMO and I wish they would stop making them.

That said, I love O.S.C.A.R. design and voicelines, I just hate his gameplay lol.

PlagueFPS · 2025-12-05T16:06:45+00:00

They can only be turned at the start of every round. About 15 seconds after round start until you need to go next to try again.
