[@AllieS87267]

Might be a weird take but IX has always seemed like the one survival map bo4 got. I think it’s the least complex, it’s quite small, and it’s the one I always run when leveling up guns.

[@jasonreed7522]

I agree with this take, i don't have classified and on, but of botd and earlier its the most enjoyable map of BO4 zombies and the easiest. Its brightly lit and has lots of open space, which is important in the games where movement is the key to survival. Most of the other maps either have narrow corridors as 99% of the map, or really painful special zombies (nosferatu suck).

[@Deathmare235]

Tip for the golden vase: to get it you need to survive 1 full round with your crown affinity being fully green however if you get a gift from the crowd it slightly goes down so to combat it you need to stay away from spawn so that they cannot throw you an item and therefore ruin your affinity run Edit: apparently this doesn’t happen to anyone else so maybe it’s just a bug on my version I’m not sure? Only play solo so it’s not like I’m picking anyone else’s up. Like I said the second it says “gift available” it goes down ever so slightly breaking the streak so I have to go underground for a full round so they can’t throw a gift

[@Chrrism]

ohh. i never knew that

[@AlahallaBLKN]

Not entirely true. You don‘t loose affinity if you pick it up but while there‘s a text on screen to get a gift the thumb won‘t change whatever you do but it will still count as losing affinity if you walk over fire or go down, you just don‘t see it.

[@johnspeights2722]

Your affinity goes down if you take someone else’s gift if you are not playing solo

[@soulcasket3389]

Tips for players) 1) For the wonder weapon, the statue head is in the same spot for each tower, knowing this you wont have to look at the flaming arrow after shooting the pot. Also pick up the spile from the acid trap to get the golden pot. :) 2) The Hellion Salvo works for getting negative affinity. You quite literally shoot rockets at the crowd to lower affinity. 3) Tigers are also a way to lower affinity. Its a little tricky, but have the tiger do its own jank AI trolling, and then let it attack you while your back is turned. It doesnt lower it a lot, but the crowd does boo you when you let the tiger attack. 4) For the Ra step, the Blightfather is always randomized on the SECOND set of four symbols, there isnt a need to worry about it until the first set is done. 5) For the step in the arena with the gladiators, it isnt infinite specialist. The timer is the normal timer, but it charges with every kill you get making it feel like infinite specialist. If you ever lose it, kill something to get it back instantly. 6) Someone showed me this trick while using the Hellion Salvo in the bossfight, you can physically have the elephant stuck in place if you stand behind the fire pylon in front of the gate. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaOZiJl_qduYrbM If help is needed, leave a comment under this one. 🙂

[@unleashed3116]

I'm having trouble activating firebomb with the hellion salvo any tips?

[@gdinfernoboy2157]

@@unleashed3116 Hellion Salvo Fire bomb is hit or miss. The best i can say for strictly Hellion on that particular step is to get lucky. But if you want to keep the Hellion, run Mule Kick, and put the third weapon with the fire bomb in that slot. Or dont run it, but get fire bomb on the free upgraded strife and then go for the Hellion out of the box. The best thing to do is to practice training down there and align the train with the roots once they start to smoke green, usually at the beginning of the round the AAT activation resets, its best to try this at the beginning of the round Hopefully this helps

[@blacksideknight3]

Thanks for the tips. Do you have any tricks or even glitches to avoid having to wait for so many rounds to pass for certain steps (e.g. early gladiator spawn for wood)? Also, when do you choose to lower your affinity for the poop? I know some suggest to do it after the golden jar (if you get that), but I'm trying to route when to get max affinity for fire sales.

[@gdinfernoboy2157]

@@blacksideknight3 in terms of the gladiator, theres no way to make it go faster by an early round. I have tried it with the champion that spawns in for pack. As for some poop tricks, go for the free wonder weapon first. If you can get ot out of the box prior to that, then dont worry about it. But the reason for this is simply because it is very easy to go positive in the early rounds. You should be able to get it by round 8 at least. Something someone taught me is that you can do the quest, but hold off on getting the weapon since you cant do anything until the charcoal is created. In terms on the fastest poop, Hellion Salvo can help, so can the packed welling (if you wanted to). The easiest strat for that is to have acid bombs. A total of five does it instantly. Throw three into the crowd (doesnt matter which side), use equip mint, then throw the last two. Hopefully these helped

[@blacksideknight3]

@@gdinfernoboy2157 Damn. Ya having to wait for rounds to pass is the one thing I don't care for about this egg. I wish you could get the poop before doing the PaP challenges, since you can get negative affinity in 1 round but getting back up to max positive takes multiple rounds (as far as I can tell). I'm starting to think I want mule kick because I'd like to be setup (Salvo, WW, & monkeys) before the Danu challenge, but as you previously said the salvo isn't great for the firebomb step. Plus it would make hitting the box faster for monkeys if I have my guns. I use Phd, Timeslip, Dying Wish, and Mod Winter's Wail.

[@thegamingpigeon8709]

this is so funny cause I was literally looking for a video of this from you yesterday while I did the IX easter egg lol

[@jackowacko_4574]

I reckon of the 7 BO4 maps (not including Classified) IX is on the easier side of the Easter eggs. Would say that Voyage, blood and ancient evil are harder than IX, Maybe even Tag. Either way love the vid as always

[@Lycan4647]

Blood is harder than IX but I don't think Voyage and Ancient evil are harder. The only argument I think one can make is that they have harder boss fights but outside of that the steps themselves are relatively easy. Still im just speaking from my experience I have never had a hard time beating Voyage or Ancient Evil and even Tag though I've only played Tag a few times and after i beat it the second time i never found myself wanting to play that map again

[@samu_rai5794]

@@Lycan4647 In my experience Voyage is harder than IX just because of the map layout and the planet step on Voyage. Trying to pick up the blue orb when a lot of zombies are surrounding it is always scary, especially if you have to do it five times.

[@TheUltimateNavigator1]

I'd say ancient evil is the easiest

I never really got into zombies easter eggs until bo4 and unironically my very first solo EE was the IX egg. I've now been desensitised to difficult eggs because apparently the first one I ever did was one of the hardest XD. It's always a blast to come back and do this egg.

This was the map that really got me into liking zombies. It's the first cod I played when I got my Xbox, and this map was very simple and easy to learn. Blood of the dead as also super fun, but it was so much harder to learn. But now I know all the bo4 Easter eggs like the back of my hand lol

[@mahmooddd]

Can you do more gauntlet videos? Gauntlets are really fun to watch

[@Archivun]

Fun trick to do when playing IX (or any other map I think not sure) is to kill zombies with the initial explosion of your specialist, do not hit them with the attack ofcourse but only with kill barrier you get when you use it. You get points and the zombies respawn without ending round

[@leddyal-khalaf8322]

Cool idea for a vid Chrrism: you should try and do a 100% run of a map where you do the main Easter egg and all Side Easter as well. I think it’d make a cool speedrun category too. Like something like Zetsubo: need to do main EE, monster in distance Easter egg (need round 50) and need to do spider side Easter egg, music Easter egg etc..

[@charliehughes6895]

Completed this for first the time a couple days ago, I’ve staid away from most Bo4 Easter eggs as the game (although overly hated) is very challenging and at times obnoxious. This Easter egg is fun tho and the boss fight is really cool and really feels like a battle. Only thing I don’t like is the amount of rounds you have to burn during the Easter egg and that boss rounds don’t count towards the rounds you need to get through on Easter egg, also the fact you pretty much need the helion salvo due to how many bosses spawn and the death of Orion is pretty terrible imo. Other than that, the atmosphere, time period and Easter egg is really good. If it was on bo3 it would be top 3 no doubt

I miss the old days where I'd come home from middle school, grab the home phone and call my friends since I didnt have a mic, and then hop on and play some Origins or Mob or something.

I really wouldn't call IX the "hardest" Easter Egg, if anything it was the easiest and one of the most fun. I'm not an Easter Egg guy; I genuinely avoid them unless it's for Maps I really love or I want to the and complete them. IX was an exception. I actively wanted to go for the Egg, and felt like even someone like me; was treated fairly and given a lot of wiggle room.
