Power Switch Relic Tutorial - Black Ops 7 Zombies

Your lethal and tactical equipment changes at the start of each round, so long-term equipment planning becomes unreliable.

Map: Totenreich | Tier: Grim | Difficulty: Very Easy

Cursed requirement: Cursed Mode required; no Cursed Tier required.

Portal: Blodheim Hall, south-wall bear pelt.

Save note: Safe.

Before you start

Bring Scavenger Aid and a Combat Axe, the tomahawk-style lethal, before starting the shield sequence.

Reach round 20, then check the deer-head altars outside the playable map at Eidskallen Landing, Dry Dock, Tyr's Foot, and Burial Grounds.
Count the skulls on each deer-head altar to determine the shield order.
Go to the Stave Church and use Scavenger Aid to read the shields.
Throw the Combat Axe at the shields in the order given by the deer-head altar skull counts.
Enter the Blodheim Hall portal after the shield sequence is accepted.

Trap kills only. The trial is only three waves, so lead zombies through the map machinery instead of trying to finish them with weapons.

A scoped weapon helps read distant altar skull counts.
If an outside-map altar is hard to read, rotate to a safer sightline and zoom in rather than guessing under pressure.
Write down the skull counts before entering the Stave Church, because the shield order is easy to lose under pressure.
Bank at least 10,000 essence so repeated Flammenfalle trap activations do not strand the run.
Train zombies tightly before starting a trap cycle so the activation produces enough progress.
This is one of the safest relic arenas as long as you resist the reflex to shoot weakened zombies.
