Astra Malorum Easter Egg Walkthrough – CoD BO7

Here's an easy step-by-step guide to walk you through the main Easter Egg Quest for Astra Malorum in Black Ops 7 Zombies!

How to find and complete Nikolai's Side EE in Astra Malorum (BO7 Zombies)

To get started, you will have to play as Nikolai as your operator on Astra Malorum map. Once you load into Astra Malorum, you'll have to get 3 Molotovs as your lethal equipment, which can be purchased for 350 Salvage at any crafting table.

While playing as Nikolai and with your Molotovs ready, head to the Abyssal Rim area where Wisp Tea is located. From there, you'll want to start throwing Molotovs at three specific locations. to begin with throw the molotov on the dirt while facing west near the ammo crate and lamp. If done correctly, traces of fire will appear. Now follow the trail of fire and throw another Molotov at the stairs where it stops. Now throw another molotov towards the last place where the tracks stop and they should now lead to a cave.

To follow the tracks into the cave, you will need to approach it and interact with the goat woodcarving found on the rock to the left of the cave entrance. This will trigger a mini-cutscene where you will be placed in a cave. From there, continue forward and once you reach a dead end, turn back until you reach another dead end, then turn back and interact with the altar.

This will start a little lock-in procedure where you have to avoid the red apparition that will damage you and kill the Ravagers that keep spawning. After a short while, a small cutscene will play where the Ravagers grab you, and Toor Bala will talk to Nikolaj. After this cutscene, you'll climb out of the cave with your rewards.
