Pyrrhic Victory, the main quest of Forsaken, step by step: the cutscene, the Fuel Tank, the buoy and the Monitoring Device, the three giant crystals, the Aetherium Neutralizer and the fight against the Forsaken.
Pyrrhic Victory is the main quest of Forsaken and the last one of Black Ops Cold War. It needs the lockdown lifted and, for its crystals, the Chrysalax. The team builds an Aetherium Neutralizer from three parts and three catalyzed crystal shards, in any order.
In the Observation Tower, between the teleporter to the Bunker and the room of the console, press the second red button. Zykov walks out of the Dark Aether, reveals that he is the Forsaken, and Samantha Maxis appears to fight him as the site falls into the Dark Aether.
„You trusted me and did as I asked. You built the machine that could bring me back.“
In Fuel Processing, start one of the four processing tanks (in co-op, every player holds a tank at the same time). A lockdown begins; kill zombies there until the tanks fill, and the central tank falls free.
Shock a zombie with an electric effect such as Dead Wire next to the Grand Prix cabinet of the arcade, then pay 2,000 Essence for its ARC-XD. Drive it behind the counter of the TV Store, knock the cover off the vent, drive into the back room and explode by the shelf: the monitor pokes through the wall.
A buoy wedged in a corner of the Board Room. Make an Abomination charge into that corner to knock it down.
After the cutscene, three giant Aetherium Crystals grow in the Staging Area, on the rooftops of Storage Zone 5 and in the Amplifier. At each one:
The crystal of the First Room.
On the rooftops of Storage Zone 5.
In the tunnel of the bunker.
On Main Street, facing the collapsed walkway and the wall of the Phase. Build the Neutralizer there, wait for its boot sequence, then start it: this is the point of no return.
Escort the Neutralizer through the Phase towards the Town Square. It keeps running out of fuel: refill it with catalyzed shards from the orange crystals along the way, some of them up the ladders. At the Containment Door, it shuts down and a Pack-a-Punch, Der Wunderfizz, an Ammo Cache, an Arsenal and a Crafting Table appear: the last chance to prepare.
Samantha floats over the arena and opens a zone under her; zombies killed inside it fill her essence, and when it is full she charges one of the Aetherium Gun Turrets on either side.
Break the crystal armor on a shoulder, then fire a charged turret at the weak spot. Each arm destroyed adds an attack: tracking orbs, or patches of frost that slow the team.
The Forsaken sends the team into a vision of the future before Samantha pulls them back. He now fires an eye laser, and Krasny Soldats join the fight; the weak spot is the crystal on his body.
The last weak spot is on his head. When it breaks, five giant crystals fall into the arena and start to hurt everyone, and Samantha enters the vortex to force the Forsaken into the containment chamber.
Samantha flies into the Forsaken and forces him into the containment chamber: „I’m not a bad person, Weaver. I am a good soul. I know what I have to do.“ She stays locked in the Dark Aether.
Requiem is shut down and its staff arrested; the Director who signs the order is revealed as Edward Richtofen.
The Pyrrhic Victory calling card.
