No main quest

Nacht der Untoten has no main quest and no Easter egg with steps to follow. What it hides are small things: in World at War a radio and some writing on the walls, to which the Black Ops version adds a song of its own, Undone.

Undone

Undone, by Kevin Sherwood, is the musical Easter egg of the Black Ops version: an instrumental rock track of about four minutes, built around an electric guitar solo. It was first written for a campaign mission of Black Ops that was later changed.

  1. Look out of the windows of the starting room for the red explosive barrels standing outside the bunker.
  2. Shoot three specific barrels. All three can be hit from the starting room, so no door has to be opened.
  3. The barrels only need to be damaged, not blown up. After the third one, Undone plays.

Since it needs nothing but a gun, the song can be played on round 1 of a First Room game.

The radio

In the Help room, on a table to the right of the Mystery Box, stands a radio. Knife it or shoot it and it plays a song; hitting it again moves on to the next one. In World at War it played tracks such as the Black Cats theme or the Königgrätzer Marsch. In Black Ops it plays music from the campaign and from Dead Ops Arcade. It is behind the Help door, so out of reach in a First Room game.

Writing on the walls

"You must ascend from darkness" chalked on a concrete wall of the bunker in Nacht der Untoten, Call of Duty Black Ops Zombies

“You must ascend from darkness”

Chalked on a wall of the bunker. “Ascend from darkness” was also one of Viktor Reznov’s steps out of the Vorkuta prison in the Black Ops campaign, and later a step of the Origins main quest.

The Help door

The word “Help” painted on the door between the starting room and the Help room was never finished. Without the bottom of its P, it reads “Hell”.

Barrels and trucks

In World at War, both the red barrels and the trucks outside the starting room could be blown up. In Black Ops, only the barrels can, and three of them carry Undone.

What Black Ops changed

  • The radio plays new music, and Undone is new.
  • The four unnamed Marines are replaced by Dempsey, Nikolai, Takeo and Richtofen, with voice lines taken from the other maps.
  • The power-ups no longer show a timer on screen: Insta-Kill and Double Points show an icon, as on the later maps.
