Before the quest

Most Escape Alive is the main quest of Blood of the Dead: Primis must break out of the Alcatraz pocket dimension. The quest cannot be completed before round 17, and the players are advised to prepare everything before that:

  • the power and the Spectral Shield, ideally the Attuned Spectral Shield;
  • the Pack-a-Punch;
  • the Hell’s Retriever, for every player who will throw it;
  • the Spoon, and if possible the Blundergat, the Magmagat and the Golden Spork.

Shock and Denial

  1. In the Warden’s House, melee the wall at the top of the stairs, across from the upstairs barrier, to leave scratches on it.
  2. From round 17, enter 666 on the keypad of the Citadel Tunnels to call a Warden, and lure him up the stairs to the scratched wall. His slam breaks it open. A Monkey Bomb thrown by the wall can also make him slam there.
  3. In the hidden ritual room, take the red stone on the table, then interact with the draped body: it is the corpse of the Warden.

The Warden’s House

The home of the Warden at the end of Eagle Plaza, with its fireplace and the hidden room upstairs.

Pain and Guilt

  1. In Richtofen’s Laboratory, place the red stone on the map across from the cryopods. The Kronorium glows in the right-hand corner of the room.
  2. Interact with the book: a ghostly seagull steals it and flies away.
  3. Each round, find the bird with the vision of the Spectral Shield, following its cries, and hit it with a Spirit Blast. It flies off until the next round.
  4. The fourth time, the bird cannot be seen: sobbing is heard near the keypad of the Citadel Tunnels. Enter 872 on the keypad to drop a Zombie Blood, pick it up, then throw the Hell’s Retriever at the bird to get the Kronorium back.

The Kronorium

The book of Richtofen, whose pages have changed since the intro, and which the quest takes from the lab to the Warden’s body.

Anger and Bargaining

Put the Kronorium in the lap of the Warden’s body. When the pages stop turning, read the three numbers on the open page with the shield’s vision and enter them on the keypad: the lighthouse lights one of five places. A Spirit Blast at the beam opens a red portal and starts its challenge. Each challenge gives a red orb; a failed one is retried with a new code from the book.

The Docks

A Morse code to enter on the machine of Sally Port, read on three buoys, then a ghost to charge with souls in the Infirmary and lead down to the Docks.

The Showers

A ghost hands over its banjo; kill zombies inside the blue circle that appears, then give the banjo back.

New Industries

A vengeful ghost from D-Block, drained with the Warden’s Key and Spirit Blasts, then killed in the trap of New Industries.

The Power House

A game of Simon Says on the panels of Building 64, a punch card read on the screens of the laboratory, then levers pulled by a ghost in the Power House.

Michigan Avenue

A ghost from the Cafeteria to escort through the prison to the portal of Michigan Avenue.

Reflection and Loneliness

Back at the body with the orbs, electric beams join the players to the corpse and the Summoning Key appears in its lap. In a cinematic, the Warden throws Primis into the cells; the seagull frees them. On the way back to the laboratory, Wardens and Hellhounds attack. At the entrance of Model Industries, the Warden grows huge, but three ghosts and the bird carry him away; he drops a last orb.

The Upward Turn

Place the orb on the map of the laboratory. The wall pulls back on another cryopod, and a new door opens next to the barrier in the left corner of the lab. Up the stairs, a garage door is the point of no return: the players go through with a charged shield, upgraded weapons and every perk.

The boss fight

  1. In the small rocky arena around the Dark Mechanism, Wardens keep coming with zombies and Hellhounds.
  2. A Carpenter and a Max Ammo drop together, then a Warden comes with a red aura and three orbs around him. Shoot the orbs, then fire a Spirit Blast at the top of the Dark Mechanism.
  3. The cycle comes back with more enemies, and ends with a last Spirit Blast at the machine.
  4. After the last blast, the player who is Richtofen sits in the chair of the machine. He comes back in the lab as the Great War Richtofen, out of the hidden cryopod. Back in the arena, the largest Warden falls.

Great War Richtofen

The Richtofen of the Great War, who ends the life sentence of the Warden and frees every soul of the island.

The ending

A blue spirit of Alcatraz, freed at the end of the main quest, Blood of the Dead, Call of Duty Black Ops 4 Zombies

The spirits

A red glow sweeps the island and the souls of Alcatraz fly away, free.

The Dark Mechanism

The Primis Richtofen, left in the machine, bleeds to death while the others leave through four portals. Great War Richtofen gives the Kronorium to Nikolai and breaks the blood vials.

The game ends after the cinematic, and every player gets the achievement Most Escape Alive.
