Rex Infernus Easter Egg Quick Overview
Rex Infernus is the final Round-Based Zombies map in Black Ops 7 and closes out the Warden storyline. The Main Quest is one of the longer BO7 Easter Eggs because several steps are locked behind specific rounds, Ammo Mods, Perks, and quest items.
A few requirements are worth knowing before you begin. Getting them early can save several rounds later in the quest.

How to Complete the Rex Infernus Easter Egg
The Rex Infernus Main Quest can be divided into several large stages. The important part is completing the early setup correctly, because almost every later puzzle depends on the Warden's Blight, upgraded Void Claw, or repaired Nexus Forge.
The full quest route is:
- Step 1: Activate Pack-a-Punch and unlock the Void Claw.
- Step 2: Build and Pack-a-Punch the Warden's Blight Wonder Weapon.
- Step 3: Return to Her House and obtain the Eye of the Forge.
- Step 4: Permanently upgrade the Void Claw and repair the Nexus Forge.
- Step 5: Solve the Veytharion block puzzle and unlock the rain portal.
- Step 6: Collect each Shadowsmith offering.
- Step 7: Complete the Titan Trap, stone plate, Shadow Soul, and lightning rituals for all four temples.
- Step 8: Enter the Warden's Inner Sanctum and defeat the Warden.
Step 1: Activate Pack-a-Punch and Get the Void Claw
You begin the match inside
Her House. Survive until Round 3, when the phone downstairs begins ringing. Answer it and the front door will open, allowing you to use the portal outside and travel to the Nexus Forge.
Place the
World Seed onto the central pedestal. Two red Dread Skulls will escape toward different temples.
- Damage a Dread Skull until it retreats into its temple.
- Continue attacking when it becomes solid again.
- Destroy it to make an Usurped Flame appear.
- Carry the flame back to the Nexus Forge.
- Use it to ignite one of the two braziers beside the central pedestal.
- Repeat the process with the second Dread Skull.
Do not waste ammunition while a Dread Skull is translucent because it cannot be damaged during that part of its movement cycle.
Once both braziers are burning, interact with the two
Crank Wheels. The central Forge platform will lower, a staircase will form around it, and Pack-a-Punch will become available.
Head underneath the Nexus Forge and interact with the green pedestal to obtain the
Void Claw. The Void Claw acts as a grapple and is required for movement, orb puzzles, crystals, and several later Easter Egg steps.
Void Pedestals around Rex Infernus can provide another charge when needed, so losing a Void Claw charge does not lock you out of the Main Quest.
Step 2: Build the Warden's Blight Wonder Weapon
The
Warden's Blight is a dual-crossbow Wonder Weapon and one of the most important items in the entire Main Quest. Its Pack-a-Punched charged shot is required repeatedly during the second half of the Easter Egg.
Building it involves creating Astral Flame, opening Nyxara's Inner Sanctum, entering the hidden forest, collecting three weapon parts, and solving Dravakar's riddle.
Create the Astral Flame
Return to the Nexus Forge with a Void Claw and look for one of the floating purple orbs above the area.
Grapple the orb and carefully pull it into the Pack-a-Punch mechanism.
Do not physically touch the orb. Direct contact can destroy it and turn it into Salvage, forcing you to find another one.
When the orb begins moving inside the Pack-a-Punch rings, immediately turn the Crank Wheel. Completing the interaction converts the energy into
Astral Flame at the two nearby braziers.
Astral Flame is used for several quest steps, so you will return to the Nexus Forge for more later.
Get the Fracture of Nyxara
Travel to the
Dravakar Main Chamber. Use the Void Claw or movement mechanics to reach the ledge above the entrance, then use an explosive on the breakable section of wall.
Behind the wall is the
Fracture of Nyxara. Pick it up and carry it to the Nyxara Main Chamber.
Place the Fracture into the empty crystal slot on the wall. You can either wall-jump to the socket or use another Void Claw charge to reach it.
Solve the Nyxara Crystal Beam Puzzle
Return to the Nexus Forge and collect an Astral Flame. Take it to Nyxara's Sanctuary and fire the Astral Flame at the large eye.
This starts a purple energy beam that travels between crystals around the temple. Use the Void Claw on the crystals to rotate them and redirect the beam from one crystal to the next.
Continue routing the beam through the Main Chamber until it reaches the locked door. When the beam hits the final target, the path into
Nyxara's Inner Sanctum opens.
The beam is timed. If it disappears before reaching the final door, return to the Nexus Forge, create another Astral Flame if needed, and restart the puzzle.
Enter the Hidden Forest
Inside Nyxara's Inner Sanctum, stand beneath the large tree roots and allow them to drain your health. Continue until the tree has absorbed enough energy.
From
Round 8 onward, a fruit will appear after the tree is fed. Interact with the fruit to teleport into the hidden forest.
Your time inside the forest is limited. If you are removed before collecting everything, advance the round, feed the tree again, and return through another fruit.
Find the Three Warden's Blight Parts
There are three corpses inside the forest that contain the Warden's Blight components:
- Rock location: Find the corpse near a rock around the middle of the forest, close to the Ammo Crate.
- Burned cabin: Search beside the destroyed cabin and melee the wooden panel near the corpse to reveal the hidden part.
- Cave: Search the far section of the forest near the cave entrance for the third corpse.
Collect all three pieces before moving on to the Dravakar puzzle.
Solve the Dravakar Lever Puzzle
Go to
Dravakar Sanctuary and interact with the glowing writing on the wall. Dravakar gives you one of four possible riddles involving the Runner, Stars, Moon, and Galaxy.
Three levers around the room rotate the symbols:
| Lever |
Location |
| Lever 1 |
Northeast wall beside the Armor Wall Buy |
| Lever 2 |
East side opposite the glowing riddle |
| Lever 3 |
Southeast side near the GobbleGum Machine |
Match the main wording of your riddle to the solution below:
| Riddle Identifier |
Lever Solution |
| Runner travels to Stars, while Moon and Galaxy stay fixed |
Lever 2 ร2, Lever 3 ร3 |
| Runner travels to Moon and borrows from Galaxy |
Lever 1 ร3, Lever 2 ร2, Lever 3 ร1 |
| Stars remember Moon while Runner travels to Galaxy |
Lever 1 ร1, Lever 2 ร2, Lever 3 ร2 |
| Galaxy drifts to Moon while Runner travels to Stars |
Lever 1 ร2, Lever 3 ร2 |
After entering the correct lever combination, interact with the central pillar to submit your answer. If it is correct, the pillar lowers and opens access above the room.
If you submit the wrong combination, the mechanism locks until the next round.
Use the Void Claw to grapple through the new opening and enter
Dravakar's Inner Sanctum. Interact with Dravakar's Anvil while carrying all three parts to build the Warden's Blight.
Pack-a-Punch the Warden's Blight as soon as possible. Its charged attack is required for several later Main Quest mechanics.
Step 3: Get the Eye of the Forge and Upgrade the Void Claw
The next major objective is permanently upgrading one of the Void Claw Pedestals. To do this, you need to return to Her House and recover the
Eye of the Forge.
Shoot the Basketball and Remember the Symbols
From the Nexus Forge, look toward the ruins of Her House and locate the small basketball around the damaged roof. A scoped weapon makes it much easier to see.
Shoot the basketball. A symbol will appear somewhere on the house.
Advance the round and another symbol will appear. Continue until you have seen
four symbols and write down the exact order in which they appeared.
Do not simply remember which four symbols you saw. The order matters.
Use the Exfil to Return to Her House
The first Exfil becomes available on Round 11, with another appearing every five rounds afterward.
On an Exfil round, shoot the four symbols on Her House in the same order they originally appeared. When the sequence is correct, activate the Exfil and kill the HVT.
Instead of ending your game, the Main Quest version of the Exfil will send you back into Her House.
Make sure the Exfil interaction has changed to the Her House version before committing. Activating a normal Exfil without completing the symbol sequence can end your match.
Collect the Eye of the Forge
Inside Her House, go upstairs and fire a
fully charged Pack-a-Punched Warden's Blight shot into the bathroom area.
The Eye of the Forge will appear. Pick it up and survive the enemy attack that follows, then answer the phone to return to the Nexus Forge.
Take the Eye to a Void Pedestal and interact with it to permanently upgrade that pedestal's Void Claw.
The upgrade applies to the pedestal you choose, not every Void Claw station on the map. Pick a location that is easy to return to during the rest of the quest.
Step 4: Repair the Nexus Forge
Take the upgraded Void Claw back to the Nexus Forge. You can now destroy the special marked panels around the structure.
There are:
- 3 panels around the pillars surrounding Pack-a-Punch.
- 6 panels on one lower Forge wall.
- 6 panels on the opposite lower Forge wall.
Use the upgraded Void Claw on every panel. Once the lower walls open, destroy the webbing behind them using explosives or your weapons.
Rotate the Crank Wheels to surge the Nexus again, then go beneath Pack-a-Punch and interact with the floor lever to lock the Forge into its repaired state.
You will now be able to manipulate the Forge alignment with the three controls around the structure. Adjust them until the blue beam is aimed directly into the face of the Shadowsmith temple you want to work on.
You will repeat this alignment process as you cleanse
Dravakar, Nyxara, Caltheris, and Veytharion.
Step 5: Solve the Veytharion Block Puzzle
Before the final temple cleanses, solve the block puzzle in
Veytharion's Sanctuary. Completing it opens the portal that lets you trigger rain, which is required later in the Main Quest.
Buy
Death Perception before starting. The Perk allows you to identify the four puzzle blocks through the surrounding walls.
The four blocks are represented by:
- Fire
- Air, shown as a hand
- Earth, shown as a leaf
- Water, shown as waves
Bring all four blocks to the puzzle wall in Veytharion's Sanctuary.
Veytharion Block Puzzle Solution
Use this sequence to move all four blocks safely to the opposite side:
- 1. Load the blocks into the starting side with Fire, Air/Hand, Earth/Leaf, and Water available.
- 2. Move Fire and Air/Hand onto the transport side and activate the central mechanism.
- 3. Leave Fire on the far side and send Air/Hand back.
- 4. Pair Air/Hand with Water and move them across.
- 5. On the far side, stack Air/Hand over Fire, then place Water above them.
- 6. Move Fire and Air/Hand back toward the starting side.
- 7. Use Air/Hand again as the safe transport piece to move Earth/Leaf across.
- 8. Continue cycling Air/Hand between the sides until all four blocks are transferred.
- 9. Finish with the blocks stacked on the destination side with Water at the bottom, then Earth/Leaf, Air/Hand, and Fire at the top.
When the arrangement is correct, the hidden wall opens and reveals a portal.
Interact with this portal whenever you need rain. The weather change begins at the start of the following round, so trigger it before advancing when you are preparing a temple cleanse.
Step 6: Collect the Four Shadowsmith Offerings
Each Shadowsmith temple needs a specific offering before it can be cleansed. The four items use different mechanics, so it is useful to collect them before starting the final temple loop.
| Temple |
Offering |
How to Get It |
| Dravakar |
Blacksmith's Hammer |
Use Shatter Blast around the shields inside Dravakar's Inner Sanctum until the Hammer drops |
| Nyxara |
Ancient Scroll |
Use Shadow Rift kills, with the hidden forest being an effective farming area |
| Caltheris |
Shimmering Thread |
Use the Void Claw to pull down purple orbs and interact with them until the Thread drops |
| Veytharion |
Woven Sash |
Find it outside the map while rain is active |
How to Get the Blacksmith's Hammer
Equip
Shatter Blast on a weapon and return to Dravakar's Inner Sanctum, where you built the Warden's Blight.
Use Shatter Blast around the shields positioned in the room. Continue triggering the Ammo Mod until the correct shield releases the
Blacksmith's Hammer.
How to Get the Ancient Scroll
Equip
Shadow Rift and begin getting Shadow Rift kills. The hidden forest reached through Nyxara's tree is a useful place to farm this because you can group enemies closely together.
Continue until the
Ancient Scroll drops, then pick it up for Nyxara's offering.
How to Get the Shimmering Thread
Use the Void Claw to pull the floating purple orbs closer to you and interact with them for loot.
Continue checking the orbs until one produces the
Shimmering Thread required for Caltheris.
How to Get the Woven Sash
The
Woven Sash only appears while it is raining, so first activate the portal unlocked through the Veytharion block puzzle and advance to the next round.
Check these possible locations while the rain is active:
- Behind the Mystery Box on the ledge at Ruinas Insula.
- On the rock outside the playable area at Spira Insula.
- Below the northwest side of Aranea Insula.
Step 7: Cleanse All Four Shadowsmith Temples
Dravakar, Nyxara, Caltheris, and Veytharion use the same basic cleansing structure, but the offering, Titan Trap, pressure plate action, beam target, and final lightning target change between temples.
Before starting a temple, use the repaired Nexus Forge controls to aim the
blue Forge beam into that Shadowsmith's head.
Then follow this general process:
- 1. Place the Shadowsmith's offering into the cauldron inside its temple.
- 2. Collect an Astral Flame from the Nexus Forge and use it to ignite the offering.
- 3. A nearby zombie becomes marked with a special effect.
- 4. Lead the marked zombie to the required Titan Trap and activate it.
- 5. Complete the temple's hidden stone plate action.
- 6. Hit the exposed mechanism with a charged Warden's Blight shot.
- 7. Redirect the beam into the correct wall and feed it zombie souls until the wall breaks.
- 8. Destroy the revealed stone head, kill the four Shadow Souls, then finish the lockdown.
- 9. Move a purple orb beneath the Shadowsmith and launch it into the head with Warden's Blight.
- 10. Trigger rain, collect Astral Flame, and hit the correct lightning point to complete the cleanse.
Titan Trap and Lightning Targets
| Temple |
Titan Trap |
Final Lightning Target |
| Dravakar |
Caltheris Passage |
Forehead |
| Nyxara |
Outside Veytharion Passage |
Nose |
| Caltheris |
Caltheris Passage |
Forehead |
| Veytharion |
Veytharion Passage |
Top of the middle head |
Stone Plate Solutions
Each temple contains a hidden stone plate near its central area. Stand on the plate and perform the required action until the mechanism opens.
| Temple |
Stone Plate Action |
Beam Target |
| Dravakar |
Stand on the plate and allow a zombie to damage you |
Southeast corner wall |
| Nyxara |
Go prone on the plate and remain there |
South corner |
| Caltheris |
Stand still on the plate while aiming down sights |
Northeast side of the room |
| Veytharion |
Repeatedly jump while standing on the plate |
Northwest zombie barrier near the Wall Buy |
When the plate reveals its mechanism, hit it with a
charged Pack-a-Punched Warden's Blight shot. A beam will activate inside the room.
Redirect that beam into the target listed above and kill zombies nearby to charge it. Once enough souls have been collected, the wall will break and reveal a stone head.
Shoot the stone head to release
four Shadow Souls. Find and kill all four before shooting the stone structure again to end the lockdown.
Veytharion can also add an Abomination during this sequence, so keep equipment or a strong secondary weapon available rather than relying entirely on Warden's Blight.
Complete the Final Temple Cleanse
Once the previous steps are complete, use the Void Claw to pull a floating purple orb underneath the large Shadowsmith head outside the temple.
Fire a charged Warden's Blight shot into the orb to launch it upward. You will know this part worked when the Shadowsmith's eyes begin glowing purple.
Next, activate the Veytharion portal so that it rains on the following round. When the rain starts, return to the Nexus Forge, collect an Astral Flame, and fire it at the correct lightning target for that Shadowsmith.
A lightning strike will hit the Shadowsmith and complete the cleanse.
Repeat the full process until
all four Shadowsmith places of power are cleansed.
Step 8: Enter the Warden Boss Fight
After cleansing Dravakar, Nyxara, Caltheris, and Veytharion, return to the Nexus Forge and go underneath Pack-a-Punch.
Blue circles become available below the Forge. Stand in them to begin the final encounter against
the Warden, Jack McGregor.
This is effectively the point of no return, so do not enter until your weapons, armor, equipment, and Perks are ready.
How to Beat the Warden in Rex Infernus
The Warden is aggressive and can close distance quickly, so movement is more important than standing in one area and trying to out-damage him. Keep rotating around the arena and use the Void Claw whenever you need to create space.
The main boss mechanic revolves around the
floating skulls surrounding the Warden. Destroying the skulls stuns him and opens a damage window.
During that stun, focus your fire on the exposed critical point around the
top of the Warden's tail. This is your main opportunity to deal meaningful boss damage.
When the Warden becomes immune, stop wasting ammunition on him. Instead, clear the Shadow Souls and other enemies until the next damage cycle begins.
Destroy the Warden's Tails
One of the most dangerous mechanics happens when additional tails begin appearing around the arena.
Do not ignore them. Allowing too many tails to remain active can trigger the encounter's wipe attack.
Destroy new tails as they appear, then return to the Warden's skulls and weak point. Staying on top of this mechanic is safer than trying to survive the resulting blast.
Recommended Warden Boss Setup
There is room to adjust your build around the weapons and Augments you prefer, but a few items are particularly useful for the final fight:
- Pack-a-Punched Warden's Blight: Required throughout the quest and useful for controlling groups.
- Fully upgraded secondary weapon: Gives you reliable direct boss damage during weak-point windows.
- Aether Shroud: Useful when you become trapped or need a safe recovery window.
- Stim Shots: Strong emergency healing when the Warden closes the gap.
- Full Armor: Refill before entering the arena.
- Perkaholic: Useful as a backup if you have one available.
- Widow's Wine: Provides extra crowd control when zombies begin surrounding you.
Do not rush into the arena just because the final portal becomes available. Spending an extra round upgrading your normal weapon, buying armor, and refilling equipment can save an entire Main Quest run.
Rex Infernus Easter Egg Rewards
Completing the Main Quest provides its own reward set. Rex Infernus also has separate rewards and challenges for Intel collection, Mastery, early completion, and high-round Main Quest runs.
| Objective |
Reward |
| Complete the Main Quest |
Bloodthorn Wonder Weapon Skin, Calling Card and 10,000 XP |
| Complete Main Quest Before Directed Mode |
Unique Calling Card variant |
| Complete Main Quest at Round 100 or Higher |
Conqueror challenge reward |
| Collect Required Intel |
Calling Card and 10,000 XP |
| Complete Rex Infernus Mastery Challenge |
Animated Calling Card and 10,000 XP |
The
Bloodthorn reward is a Wonder Weapon Skin, not the Warden's Blight weapon itself. You craft Warden's Blight during the Main Quest, while Bloodthorn is awarded after completing the full Easter Egg.
Rex Infernus also launched alongside the Zombies-themed Last Call event. If you are working through the wider Season 05 Reloaded rewards, check our
BO7 Last Call Event guide for the Free and Premium reward tracks.
How to Get the Rex Infernus Early Completion Calling Card
Complete the Rex Infernus Main Quest
before Directed Mode releases for the map to receive a unique variant of the standard Main Quest Calling Card.
The normal Bloodthorn Skin, Calling Card, and XP are earned from the Main Quest itself. The extra Calling Card variant is specifically tied to completing the Easter Egg during the early Standard/Cursed Mode period.
As of August 22, Activision has not announced the Rex Infernus Directed Mode release date.
How to Unlock Conqueror in Rex Infernus
Rex Infernus also has a special high-round Main Quest challenge called
Conqueror. The requirement is simple to understand but much harder to complete:
finish the Rex Infernus Main Quest at Round 100 or higher.
The Main Quest completion itself needs to happen once your match has reached at least Round 100. A normal early-round Easter Egg completion will not satisfy the Conqueror requirement.
If you are attempting Conqueror, it makes sense to complete as much of the Main Quest setup as possible earlier in the match, then delay the final Warden encounter until Round 100 or later. This avoids having to solve the full Easter Egg while dealing with Round 100 enemies.
Before entering the Warden fight, make sure your weapons, armor, Perks, Augments, GobbleGums, and equipment are fully prepared. The standard Warden mechanics remain the same, but the enemies surrounding the encounter are far less forgiving at high rounds.
Can You Complete the Rex Infernus Easter Egg in Cursed Mode?
Yes. The Rex Infernus Main Quest is available in both Standard and Cursed Mode.
Cursed Mode makes the same core Easter Egg more difficult by removing Main Quest guidance, limiting the HUD, and starting you with a pistol. Since Rex Infernus already contains several timed and round-gated steps, Standard Mode is the more forgiving option for learning the route.
Players who already know the puzzles and want the harder experience can run the Easter Egg in Cursed Mode instead.
Common Rex Infernus Easter Egg Problems
The Main Quest has several mechanics that can appear broken when one small requirement is missing. Check these before restarting your match:
- Dread Skull takes no damage: Wait until the skull becomes solid again before shooting.
- Purple orb disappears: Do not touch it directly. Pull it with the Void Claw.
- Astral Flame does not appear: Once the orb reaches Pack-a-Punch, turn the Crank Wheel quickly before the interaction expires.
- Nyxara beam ends: The beam puzzle is timed. Collect another Astral Flame and restart it.
- Dravakar puzzle locks: A wrong lever solution locks the mechanism until the following round.
- Warden's Blight charged shot does not work: Pack-a-Punch the Wonder Weapon first.
- Veytharion blocks are difficult to locate: Buy Death Perception.
- Woven Sash does not appear: Trigger the Veytharion portal and wait for rain.
- Final temple lightning does not trigger: Make sure rain is currently active and the purple orb has already been launched into the Shadowsmith head.
- Exfil ends the game: Complete the Her House basketball symbol sequence before activating the Exfil.
Rex Infernus Enemies to Watch For
Rex Infernus also introduces two enemies that can make puzzle steps more dangerous, especially while you are trying to hold the final zombie of a round.
Deathspinner
Deathspinners are quick enemies that become dangerous in groups. Their ranged web projectile can slow your movement, making them especially annoying during timed Void Claw and Astral Flame sections.
Web Mother
The Web Mother is an Elite enemy that uses lunges and web attacks to damage and slow players. It can also cocoon zombies and turn them into additional environmental hazards.
During long puzzle sequences, clear these enemies before attempting precise interactions rather than trying to complete the puzzle while being pressured.
