Teddy Bear Relic Tutorial - Black Ops 7 Zombies

The pause between rounds is heavily shortened, giving less time to reload, plate, buy ammo, or rotate before the next spawn set begins.

Map: Ashes of the Damned | Tier: Grim | Difficulty: Easy

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

Portal: Vandorn Farm, on the south wall of the Mystery Box building.

Save note: Unsafe once the bear hunt starts.

Before you start

Equip Aether Shroud and bring the Necrofluid Gauntlet.
You need 10 Aether Shroud charges, one for each Mr. Peeks doll. Power Keg is recommended to speed up the recharge work.

Reach round 20 before starting the Mr. Peeks doll collection.
Collect the 10 Mr. Peeks dolls in any order. For each doll, charge Aether Shroud, activate it, then grab the doll with the Necrofluid Gauntlet while shrouded.
Check these doll locations: Janus Tower Plaza gate toward Blackwater Lake, Vandorn Farm silo, Blackwater Lake upstairs bathroom near Speed Cola, Lost Cabins rooftop on the Ashwood side, Ashwood Church wall opening, Rabbit Alley burning room, Zarya Cosmodrome electric pole, Zarya Cosmodrome room beside the Crafting Table, Grounded Ship barrel area, and the Exit 115 highway sign.
Enter the Vandorn Farm portal after the final doll is collected.

Every weapon shot spends essence. Waves 1 and 3 build progress, and waves 2 and 4 bring Mimic HVTs that can drain your points fast if you spray.

Start and finish the doll hunt in one session. A save during the hunt can break collection progress.
The Necrofluid Gauntlet keeps the arena cheap because it reduces how often you need to pay for gunfire.
Spend, bank, or stage your essence before entering. A long panic spray can erase a point stack quickly.
Use traps or high-value shots where possible, and save full-auto fire for Mimics that must die immediately.
