Calling all zombie slayers! Are you ready to unravel the mysteries of Shadows of Evil and unlock the secrets of the future?
This guide will take you step-by-step through the intricate “My Brother’s Keeper” Easter Egg, leading you to an epic boss fight and a lore-packed cutscene.
Completing this challenge will not only grant you the coveted “My Brother’s Keeper” trophy but also provide a glimpse into the chilling narrative that awaits in the world of Zombies.
Gearing Up for the Challenge:
Before embarking on this epic quest, ensure you’re well-equipped to face the rising undead hordes and the final showdown.
Prioritize fortifying your defenses with potent perks like Juggernog (increased health), Speed Cola (faster reload), and Stamina Up (improved sprinting). Upgrading your weapons, particularly the elemental bows, will be crucial for later stages.
Don’t forget to pack a trusty shield for close encounters and GobbleGums that enhance your abilities for specific situations. The Ragnarok DG-4 gravity spikes are an absolute must-have, ensuring all players have them fully charged for the final battle.
The Path Unfolds:
The journey begins with empowering your arsenal. Locate a bow and upgrade it using souls collected from fallen zombies.
Look for glowing orbs suspended above the Pack-a-Punch teleporter and shoot them down. Next, uncover four wisps scattered around the map – keep your eyes peeled for these spectral clues. Once dispatched, activate the Pack-a-Punch machine to unlock its full potential.
A World in Black and White:
Prepare to enter a hidden dimension. Step through the activated teleporter, and you’ll find yourself in a stark black and white realm.
Here, keeps an eye out for a blue canister filled with souls and a fuse. The soul canister will become a vital tool later.
Awakening the Death Ray:
The fuse plays a pivotal role in activating the dormant Death Ray Generator. Locate the generator and insert the fuse. Switch the generator mode to “Protect” – this will be crucial for the next step.
Navigate to the nearby computer panels and decipher the displayed code. Punching in the correct sequence will unlock a hidden safe.
Crack it open to retrieve valuable items that will be instrumental in the following steps. Finally, use the obtained items to repair the Death Ray, ensuring it’s fully operational.
Simon Says: A Test of Memory:
Prepare for a test of memory and reflexes. Head towards the clock tower and the rocket launch pad. Here, you’ll encounter computer panels with a familiar game of Simon Says.
Follow the sequence of lights displayed on the panels with precise timing. Mastering these challenges will be key to progressing further.
Rocket’s Fiery Descent:
Once you’ve successfully completed the Simon Says challenges, return to the Death Ray Generator. There, locate a button and press it with determination.
As you do, a spectacular scene unfolds – a colossal rocket plummets from the sky, crashing in a fiery spectacle on the snowy plains outside the city walls.
Seize the opportunity – venture into the newly created snowfield and collect the valuable items scattered amongst the wreckage.
The Keeper’s Tomb and the Flow of Souls:
The journey takes a mystical turn. Travel to the Knight’s tomb and carefully place the previously collected items within.
This act awakens the Keeper, a mysterious entity with an important role to play. Follow the Keeper as it guides you through four designated locations within the map.
Here, utilize the power of your upgraded elemental bows to fill ancient tablets with collected souls. Each bow will be necessary to complete this stage, ensuring you have them fully powered up.
Confrontation Awaits:
The final showdown is upon you. Before facing the ultimate challenge, ensure you’ve maximized your defenses with every available advantage. Prioritize perks, potent weaponry, your shield, and the fully charged Ragnarok DG-4.
The Keeper’s Demise:
The battleground is set – a vast arena bathed in an ominous glow. Stand firm upon the illuminated blue squares scattered across the floor – these are your safe zones.
The key to victory lies in precise timing and coordination. As the Keeper’s chest glows with menacing energy, unleash the power of the Ragnarok DG-4 gravity spikes.
This will teleport you into a close quarters fight with the Keeper. Focus your firepower on the glowing chest, dealing massive damage. However, be vigilant – the Keeper will unleash a barrage of attacks.
Use the blue squares to your advantage, strategically dodging the Keeper’s wrath while striking back with relentless precision. Repeat this process, coordinating your attacks with your teammates, until the Keeper finally falls.
