Completing the main Easter egg quest on Origins in Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Zombies remains one of the most rewarding challenges in the entire franchise. Known as Little Lost Girl, this multi-step storyline requires precise coordination, resource management, and mastery of elemental staves. Whether playing solo or in a full squad, understanding the exact sequence of objectives is key to securing victory.
Building and Upgrading the Four Elemental Staves
The foundation of the Origins quest begins with gathering parts and records to construct the Ice, Fire, Wind, and Lightning staves. Each staff must then be upgraded to its Ultimate form by solving specific puzzles in the Crazy Place and around the main map. Completing these upgrades grants player weapons necessary for later stages of the main storyline quest.
Upgrading all four staves early in the game ensures your squad can handle increasingly aggressive zombie rounds. Each player should focus on securing their preferred element as quickly as possible to streamline early rounds. Coordinating staff assignments prevents confusion during the critical puzzle-solving phases.
Securing G-Strike Beacons and Cleansing the Tablets
To advance further, players must obtain the G-Strike tactical equipment by filling soul chests and cleansing stone tablets in the church region. Placing clean tablets back into the holy water source requires careful navigation through muddy trenches without stepping in dirt. Successfully throwing a G-Strike grenade onto the concrete seal near Generator 5 allows the giant robot foot to break open the entrance.
Timing is critical when coordinating the button press inside the giant robot with the G-Strike throw. Assigning one teammate to step inside the giant robot ensures the button is pressed at the exact moment needed. Proper execution opens up the underground chamber housing the main objective pedestal.
Ascending from Darkness and Breaking the Seal
After placing all upgraded staves into their respective pedestals inside the giant robots and mound, players must destroy the invisible seal. Utilizing the Maxis Drone inside the Crazy Place initiates a heavy battle against specialized Panzer Soldats that spawn in waves. Defeating these threats requires focused firepower from upgraded weapons and staves.
Once the Panzer Soldats are eliminated, securing the One Inch Punch melee attack becomes essential for the next step. Players must punch zombies with white glowing arms near the bottom of the excavation site to collect their souls. This grants the ultimate melee upgrade required before entering the final phase.
Releasing the Souls and Ascending to Freedom
The final step takes place entirely inside the Crazy Place, where all four upgraded staves must be placed into their corresponding pedestals. Players must eliminate a continuous horde of zombies within the arena to fill the portal with portal souls. Using Gobblegums like Near Death Experience or Idle Eyes can greatly ease the survival pressure during this intense battle.
Once the portal absorbs enough zombie souls, a prompt appears allowing players to release the Maxis Drone into the center light beam. Interacting with the portal triggers the end-game cinematic cutscene and officially completes the Easter egg. Following these structured steps guarantees a successful run through one of Zombies history's most iconic maps.
