In Black Ops 6 Zombies, the Terminus Main Quest takes players deep into a high-stakes adventure full of zombies, lore, and mystery. As ex-Requiem members seek revenge on Director Edward Richtofen, you’ll be thrust into a battle for survival on Terminus Island, an isolated prison surrounded by monsters. In this detailed guide, we’ll break down each step of the Terminus Main Quest, from obtaining the DRI-11 Beamsmasher to defeating the final boss, Patient 13.

**Whether you’re aiming for the Easter Egg completion or just trying to survive the onslaught, we’ve got all the details to guide you through this exciting, challenging experience.

Step 1: Obtain the DRI-11 Beamsmasher

Before starting the Terminus Main Quest, players must acquire the DRI-11 Beamsmasher, a Wonder Weapon crucial for progressing through the map.

How to Craft the DRI-11 Beamsmasher:

1. Activate the AMPs: These power sources will turn on Pack-a-Punch and the overall power on the map.
2. Activate Three Laptops:
   • Outside Storage Area
   • Outside Communications
   • By the Docks after Sea Tower
3. Deadwire Ammo Mod: Purchase this mod and shoot at an electric circuit through a broken window on the Inclined Lift. Follow the circuit to Living Quarters.
4. Enter the Research Office at Rec Yard: Defeat the trapped zombie and pick up the EMF Fob.
5. Multiphasic Resonator: Interact with a briefcase in Sea Tower.
6. Pay Peck: At the Guard Station, spend 5,000 Essence to acquire a code.
7. Multiphasic Resonator Placement: Head to the designated island, place the Resonator near the glowing orb, and defeat the spawning zombies. Repeat this process until you acquire the AMP Munition.
8. Craft the DRI-11 Beamsmasher: Return to the Research Office and interact with the workbench to complete the craft.

Step 2: Acquire the Hard Drive and Give it to Peck

With the DRI-11 Beamsmasher in hand, you now need a Hard Drive. The Hard Drive is dropped from one of the Tentacle Traps on the map.

Tentacle Trap Locations:

• Mining Tunnels near Bio Lab
• Sea Caves near Bio Lab
• Between Holding Cells and Guard Station at spawn
• Living Quarters to Rec Yard

1. Activate the Trap: Spend 750 Essence to turn on the Tentacle Trap.
2. Shoot Tentacles: Use the DRI-11 Beamsmasher to destroy the tentacles, and a Hard Drive will pop out.
3. Deliver the Hard Drive: Return to Guard Station, interact with the drop box, and give it to Peck.

Step 3: Find the Codes to Nathan’s Containment Unit

After interacting with Nathan’s containment unit in the Bio Lab, players must gather three codes in specific locations:

1. Code #1 – Interrogation Rooms: Look at the clock’s hour hand on the south wall near Quick Revive.
2. Code #2 – Mess Hall: Find the playing card attached to a wooden pinboard on the east wall.
3. Code #3 – Engineering: On the northwest wall, find the Safety First sign and record the number.

Enter the codes in the correct order on Nathan’s containment unit in the Bio Lab to proceed.

Step 4: Defeat Nathan and Obtain the Keycard

Once Nathan’s containment unit is unlocked, a boss fight will begin. Nathan is a mini-boss with more health and the ability to consume zombies for healing.

Fight Tips:

• Stay Mobile: Keep moving to avoid being cornered.
• Use Powerful Weapons: Pack-a-Punched weapons like the GS45 or Wonder Weapons are essential.
• Don’t Let Zombies Pile Up: To prevent Nathan from healing, clear the zombies quickly.

After the Fight:

1. Get the Keycard: After defeating Nathan, head into the water below the Bio Lab and collect the Keycard.
2. Use the Keycard: Go to Communications and interact with the terminal to reveal a Network Connection Error.

Step 5: Fix the Computer Using Node Connectors

Now, you’ll need to obtain Node Connectors from the Shipwreck.

1. Take a Tactical Raft: Head out to the Shipwreck and enter the bottom deck.
2. Collect the Node Connector from the Workshop.
3. Survive the Lockdown: Zombies will swarm during this step, so be prepared.
4. Place the Node Connectors: There are three slots to place the connectors:
   • Crab Island (South)
   • Sea Tower (East)
   • Speed Cola (West, near Sea Caves)
5. Return to the Guard Station: Give the Node Connector to Peck to receive the Hacking Device.

Step 6: Hack the Buoys and Defuse the Bombs

This step involves hacking three Buoys around Terminus Island, followed by defusing bombs in the Bio Lab.

1. Hack the Buoys:
   • Use the Hacking Device on each Buoy found in the sea.
   • Players will have two minutes to hack the Buoys in a specific order.
2. Defuse the Bombs:
   • After hacking all Buoys, rush back to the Bio Lab.
   • Defuse three bombs within five minutes.
   • Use Aether Shroud or Monkey Bombs to distract zombies while defusing the bombs.

Step 7: Prepare for the Boss Fight Against Patient 13

Once the bombs are defused, it’s time for the final boss fight.

Recommended Loadout:

• Jugger-Nog for extra health
• Quick Revive for fast self-revive
• Tier 3 Armor for protection
• Pack-a-Punched Wonder Weapons (with Shadow Rift Ammo Mod)

Patient 13 Fight Phases:

1. Phase 1: Damage Patient 13 by shooting his red bulbs and avoid his tentacle slams.
2. Phase 2: Eliminate mini-boss zombies to unlock damage spots in Patient 13’s mouth.
3. Phase 3: Shoot Patient 13’s glowing blue eyes and mouth while avoiding his electric field.

After Defeating Patient 13:

Enjoy the cutscene and revel in completing the Terminus Main Quest.
