Shattered Veil Main Quest: The 7 Definitive Steps to Story Completion
The main quest, or Easter Egg, on the *Shattered Veil* map is a challenging but rewarding journey that requires precision and teamwork. The quest revolves around acquiring the three elemental variants of the Ray Gun Mark II and using them to complete a series of mysterious rituals.
Phase 1: Power, Pack-a-Punch, and the Base Weapon
- Step 1: Activate Power and Pack-a-Punch. Your first goal is to restore power to the mansion and activate the Pack-a-Punch machine. This typically involves collecting a fuse (often found by shooting a zombie body in the Library) and repairing the Elevator in the Mainframe Chamber to access the deeper levels of the facility.
- Step 2: Obtain the Ray Gun Mark II. The Ray Gun Mark II is the key weapon for this Easter Egg. It can be acquired from the Mystery Box, completing one of the initial side challenges, or through a specific buildable quest on the map. You must have this weapon to proceed with the elemental upgrades.
Phase 2: The Three Elemental Ray Gun Mark II Upgrades
Each of the three elemental variants requires you to find an Empty Canister and complete a unique challenge. Once complete, you will have the Ray Gun Mark II-P (Preservation/Shotgun), the Ray Gun Mark II-R (Toxic/Marksman), and the Ray Gun Mark II-W (Wraith Fire/Full-Auto).
3. Ray Gun Mark II-R (Toxic/Yellow) Upgrade:
This variant is a Marksman Rifle-like discharge that spreads a toxic elemental area-of-effect.
- Find the Canister: The Empty Canister for the Mark II-R is typically found near the ritual sites or a specific location tied to the toxic theme.
- The Seed Challenge: Locate four glowing Orange Plants scattered across the map. Shoot each plant with the Ray Gun Mark II or an explosive (like a Semtex) to collect a Seed. You can only collect one seed per plant.
- Deposit the Seeds: Deposit all four Seeds at a designated location (often a planter or a specific machine) and defend the area against a wave of zombies to charge the canister.
4. Ray Gun Mark II-P (Preservation/Purple) Upgrade:
This is the powerful Shotgun variant of the Ray Gun Mark II.
- Find the Canister: Locate the Empty Canister for the Mark II-P.
- The Preservation Challenge: This challenge often involves protecting a specific target or area from damage for a set amount of time or rounds, symbolizing 'preservation.'
5. Ray Gun Mark II-W (Wraith Fire/W) Upgrade:
The Wraith Fire variant provides a full-auto, rapid-fire elemental effect.
- Find the Canister: The Mark II-W Canister is the final one to collect.
- The Severed Arm Puzzle: This step is tied to the Nursery Chalkboard Puzzle. You must solve the numbers/symbols on the chalkboard in the Nursery to unlock a hidden compartment that contains the Severed Arm.
- The Ritual: Take the Severed Arm to a specific location (often a cage or a ritual table) and complete an interaction, which will charge the final canister.
Phase 3: The Rituals and Final Boss
6. Complete the Three Mysterious Rituals. With all three Ray Gun Mark II variants acquired, you can now complete the map's main objective: the three rituals.
- Collect Ritual Elixir: Obtain the Ritual Elixir, usually from a specific Elite Zombie (like an Elder Disciple) or a glowing object near a ritual site.
- Perform the Rituals: Go to the three ritual locations (e.g., the Banquet Hall, a specific outdoor area, and the Mainframe Chamber). Interact with the Blood Cups or stone altars. You will need to defeat a wave of powerful enemies, including Elder Disciples and Doppelghasts, while defending the ritual site.
- Solve the Sigil Puzzle: After each ritual, observe the unique symbols or two-digit numbers that appear above the cups or on a nearby wall. These sigils are the final code needed for the boss fight arena. Collect the Sentinel Artifact after the final ritual.
7. The Final Battle with the Z-Rex. Use the Sentinel Artifact to open the path to the final boss arena. This final challenge pits you against the formidable Z-Rex, a massive Elite Zombie that requires high-damage weapons (like your Pack-a-Punched Ray Gun Mark II variants and the free Wunderwaffe DG-2). Focus on its critical weakness points and utilize your special abilities to end the *Shattered Veil* story.
The Hidden Mini-Quest: How to Get the FREE Wunderwaffe DG-2
For a huge advantage in the Z-Rex boss fight, you can unlock the legendary Wunderwaffe DG-2 for free every game via a secret mini-quest. This is a crucial element for high-round players and a massive asset for the main Easter Egg.
This quest involves connecting three key items: the Lab Technician Zombie, the Nursery Blackboard, and the Doppelghast Cage.
- Obtain the Key Item: First, you will need to find a specific item (often an empty canister or a key) related to the Wunderwaffe.
- The Lab Technician Clue: Locate and kill a specific Lab Technician Zombie that spawns in the map (often near the Mainframe Chamber or a laboratory area). This zombie drops a crucial piece of information or an item.
- The Blackboard Puzzle: Head to the Nursery and interact with the Blackboard. Use the item/clue from the Lab Technician to solve the small puzzle on the board, which will reveal a code or a location.
- The Doppelghast Cage: Take the resulting item or code to a specific Doppelghast Cage location on the map. Interact with the cage, and after a short defense sequence, the cage will open to reveal the Wunderwaffe DG-2.
The Unsolved Mystery: The Piper Statue Easter Egg
While the main quest has been thoroughly solved, the *Shattered Veil* community is still actively hunting for the steps to a major side quest known as the Piper Statue Easter Egg (sometimes referred to as the Pied Piper or Peter Pan Easter Egg).
This side quest involves several statues of a figure playing a pipe, found in various locations around the mansion. Players have tried activating computers in specific sequences and connecting the statues to various musical cues, but a definitive, repeatable solution remains elusive as of the latest update. If you are looking for a true challenge after completing the main quest, solving the mystery of the Piper Statue is the ultimate test of your *Black Ops 6 Zombies* expertise.
