Black Ops 6 Zombies mode introduces players to a plethora of maps, each filled with unique challenges and features. Among these is Citadelle des Morts, a relatively new addition that stands out with its intricate design, captivating Easter Eggs, and a thrilling final boss encounter. In this map, players not only solve mysteries but also join forces with the operator Maya Aguinaldo to confront a monumental challenge—The Guardian.

The Guardian, a massive stone statue located in the town square, is the ultimate boss of Citadelle des Morts. This formidable foe comes alive at the climax of the map’s main Easter Egg quest, presenting an intense and strategic battle for players. This guide will walk you through the steps to prepare for and ultimately defeat The Guardian, ensuring your triumph over the map’s challenges.

Preparation Is Key

Optimize Your Load out

Before facing The Guardian, proper preparation is essential to maximize your damage output and increase your chances of survival. Here are some critical steps to ensure you’re battle-ready:

Enhance Your Perks:

Equip perks like Speed Cola with the Supercharged Major Augment, which significantly boosts Field Upgrade recharge speed.

Use Dead Head Major Augment on Dead shot Daiquiri to increase your critical damage multiplier, essential for targeting The Guardian’s weak points.

Equip Pro biotic Major Augment with Juggernaut for an additional 50 HP, giving you extra survivability.

Upgrade Your Weapons:

Use the Akimbo GS45 pistols upgraded to at least Pack-a-Punch level 3, or secure them in Epic Rarity to handle zombie hordes effectively.

Consider a bullet weapon for precision targeting of The Guardian’s armor and weak points.

Acquire the elemental sword from the Easter Egg quest and choose Lightsaber Solais for its powerful special attack, which not only deals substantial damage to The Guardian but also annihilates nearby zombies.

Gather Essentials:

Stock up on ammo and equipment in the pre-game lobby.

Practice combat techniques in Black Ops 6 Bot Lobbies to refine your skills.

Initiating the Final Battle

After completing the map’s Easter Egg quest, you’ll receive the Guardian Key, a crucial item that unlocks the final encounter. Head to the town square’s fountain, where a hole beneath The Guardian’s statue awaits. Insert the key to awaken the colossal boss and begin the ultimate showdown.

Upon activation, The Guardian slams the ground with his massive hammer, teleporting you to an underground arena where the battle takes place. Surviving this encounter not only completes the map’s mission but also grants valuable rewards, such as XP boosts if you’ve redeemed Weapon XP Tokens beforehand.

Battle Strategies: Confronting The Guardian

Phase 1: Breaking the Armor

When the fight begins, The Guardian is encased in heavy armor. Your first objective is to destroy this armor, exposing his vulnerable weak points. Follow these tips:

Target Glowing Red Dots: These are weak spots beneath the armor. Concentrate firepower here to maximize damage and break the armor efficiently.

Stay Mobile: Avoid standing still, as The Guardian’s ground slams and fireball attacks leave fiery hazards that can trap you.

Phase 2: Surviving the Zombie Horde

Once The Guardian’s health drops by one-third, he becomes invincible and moves to the center of the arena. During this phase:

Dodge Lava Rain: Lava will fall from above, restricting movement and forcing you to reposition frequently.

Eliminate Zombies: Doppelghasts and other zombie waves spawn during this phase. Use area-of-effect weapons like the Lightsaber Solais to manage these threats.

Collect Max Ammo: Survive until Max Ammo drops appear, replenishing your resources for the next phase.

Phase 3: Exposing the Chest Weak Spot

After breaking all the boss’s armor, The Guardian’s chest begins to glow, revealing his most critical weak point. Focus your attacks here to deal massive damage and rapidly deplete his health.

Beware of Enhanced Moves:

Fireball attacks now release three projectiles.

The Guardian’s jump slams cover a larger area.

His movement speed increases significantly.

Precision Shooting: Use your upgraded Akimbo GS45 pistols or elemental weapons to aim at his chest for maximum damage.

Final Phase: The Frenzied Guardian

In the last third of his health, The Guardian becomes even more aggressive:

Increased Speed and Damage: The arena becomes smaller, and avoiding his attacks becomes more challenging.

Final Weak Spot: Continue targeting his chest while evading his relentless assaults.

Victory and Rewards

Once you’ve defeated The Guardian, you’ll claim the Obscurus Altilium Amulet, marking the completion of Citadelle des Morts’ main Easter Egg quest. This victory not only concludes the map’s narrative but also grants substantial rewards, including additional XP, gear, and unique items.
