Shadows of Evil
BO3
Morg City, neon and fog, four strangers with nothing in common and a god called the Shadowman. Shadows of Evil opened Black Ops III with the strangest setting the series had attempted and the most complicated main quest to date.
The beast form lets you become a creature, open doors and travel the rooftops. The Apothicon Servant is built from three parts, the ritual rooms unlock the Pack-a-Punch, and the Margwa is the boss: three heads, only one of them open at a time, and it does not care how well you were doing.
The First Room is the street you wake up on. Wide enough to train in comfortably, which is a luxury in this game, until the Margwa arrives and the room stops being wide at all. Black Ops III movement, the thrust jump and the slide, changes what is possible here compared with any earlier First Room.

Shadows of Evil First Room
The Shadows of Evil First Room leaderboard on Zombie First Room Rankings tracks every verified run held in the starting room of Shadows of Evil, on Call of Duty : Black Ops III. 257 records are listed here, and the best rounds on record are 43 in solo by Blathoux, 40 in two players by ExoTikLiFeLiNe, 38 in 3 players by Deffened and 37 in 4 players by RobbinRounds.
Shadows of Evil counts in one ranking. The difficulty coefficient multiplies every round reached here, which is how a round 30 on a tight starting room can be worth more than a round 50 on an open one: Two Hardest Maps (solo 6.9, two players 6.7).
Shadows of Evil is remembered for Morg City and its neon, Beast Mode, the Margwas and the rituals and the Gateworms. The crew: Nero Blackstone, Jessica Rose, Floyd Campbell, Vincent Hanno and the Shadowman. Weapons and wonder weapons: Apothicon Servant, Ruby Rabbit, Wrath of the Ancients and KRM-262. Perks on the map: Juggernog, Quick Revive, Speed Cola, Double Tap Root Beer and Widow's Wine.
First Room is the purest discipline in Call of Duty Zombies: no Pack-a-Punch run around the map, no easter egg, no train through open ground. You hold the spawn room of Shadows of Evil, you keep the doors closed, and you push the round counter as far as the horde allows. Every high round, world record and personal best on this page is backed by its video and checked against the reference boards before it is listed.
