A new "Cursed" mode was added in Black Ops 7, designed to provide a fresh Zombies experience. In this mode, you can activate up to 9 different Relics, with more being added as new Zombies maps are released.



The Ashes of the Damned map features 9 Relics, each uniquely altering the gameplay to make it more challenging.

• DRAGON WINGS: Power-Ups do not spawn on the map.
  
• LAWYER'S PEN: Mimics begin to appear on the map.
  
• TEDDY BEAR: Round start delay is reduced by 75%.
  
• VRIL SPHERE: Players can only carry 4 Perks.
  
• FOCUSING STONE: Self-Revive kits are unavailable.
  
• BUS: Enemy health regenerates.
  
• DRAGON: All Ammo Crates are disabled.
  
• BLOOD VIALS: All Augments are disabled.
  
• UNKNOWN: This Relic has not yet been discovered by the community.

Currently, this guide covers the first three Relics. The rest will be added over time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Wait until Round 20 and head to the launch platform at Vandorn Farm. Use it to launch yourself towards the Janus Towers.



During the flight, you must destroy 3 purple portals in one attempt. They are located at these positions:


Once the 3 purple portals are destroyed, return to Vandorn Farm and interact with the green portal to start the trial.



During the trial, you must survive 4 waves. On waves 2 and 4, special zombies will spawn. You must kill them to complete the wave. Important Feature: Power-ups will spawn on the map, but picking them up will damage the player.


After completing the trial, you will receive your first relic — the Dragon Wings.

Once you reach Round 20, you must light 3 red candles using a Molotov Cocktail at the following locations:


Once all 3 red candles are lit, return to Vandorn Farm and interact with the green portal to start the trial.



During the trial, you must survive 4 waves. On waves 2 and 4, special zombies will spawn. You must kill them to complete the wave. Important Feature: Instead of regular zombies, Shockwave Mimics will appear.


After completing the trial, you will receive your second relic — the Lawyer's Pen.

To obtain the third relic, the Teddy Bear, you must have the Necrofluid Gauntlet and the "Aether Shroud" Field Upgrade equipped. You can learn how to get the Gauntlet from my guide here: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3606923221


While Aether Shroud is active, you must find and use the Gauntlet to pull 10 blue toy rabbits from their locations. Keep in mind that the final rabbit only appears after Round 20.



Once all 10 rabbits have been collected, head to Vandorn Farm and interact with the green portal to start the trial.



During the trial, you must survive 4 waves. On waves 2 and 4, special zombies will spawn. You must kill them to complete the wave. Important Feature: Each shot from your weapon will cost 100 Essence, so before starting the trial, it is recommended to have at least 30,000 Essence and stock up on Kazimir Grenades (or Monkey Bombs), as using them does not cost Essence per shot. Also, make use of the trap on the barn from time to time.


After completing the trial, you will receive the third relic — the Teddy Bear — and the "Expert Curator" achievement (provided you have obtained the previous relics).
