            Chapters

            • 00:00 - 00:30: Introduction and Overview This chapter serves as an introduction to the series of guides focusing on Easter eggs within zombie maps throughout gaming history. It encourages viewers to subscribe for weekly updates and to comment on which maps they would like to see covered next. The chapter introduces the 2022 guide for the 'Shadows of Evil' map, emphasizing that it is designed to be straightforward and helpful, aiming to assist players in completing Easter eggs efficiently. The guide is also highlighted as being compatible for solo play up to the final boss fight, with an additional note that completing the Easter egg to earn certain achievements requires additional steps.
            • 00:30 - 01:00: Junction/Spawn Area Ritual The chapter 'Junction/Spawn Area Ritual' explains how to efficiently use 'beast mode' in a four-player game in the Shadows of Evil. There are four rituals to open by accessing items in beast mode. The narrator provides a strategy to complete all tasks in one go, starting from the junction or spawn area. Initially, the player has to enter beast mode, open a box on the back of a truck, shut the power box in the center area, and then open the stairs. Two methods for opening the stairs include jumping on a car and up the stairs or grappling through Nero's room, whichever is preferred. The chapter ends with an instruction to exit beast mode.
            • 01:00 - 02:00: Canals Ritual and Symbol Collection In this chapter, the process of collecting ritual items and activating the ritual in Nero's room is described. Initially, the summoning key is collected from a truck, and a pen is collected from the center of the map. After completing the ritual in Nero's room, the focus shifts to the Canals area. The chapter details entering beast mode, breaking boxes, opening iron doors, using the rift portal, and activating power boxes. An advanced tactic involving the Cthulu statue and power box is also discussed, which may require re-entering beast mode and navigating to the ruby rabbit via stairs.
            • 02:00 - 03:00: Waterfront Ritual and Symbol Completion In this chapter titled 'Waterfront Ritual and Symbol Completion', the process of activating a ritual and finding symbols in a game setting is described. The chapter provides a step-by-step guide to complete a gaming quest. It starts with entering 'beast mode' to perform specific actions such as breaking a box to collect a police badge, opening a rift portal, and activating a ritual inside the Ruby Rabbits location. After completing these tasks, players must collect the gateworm and defeat a Magwood. The journey continues to the train station in the canals, where players use the train to travel to the waterfront. Along the way, they must observe two symbols through the train windows – the first symbol appears soon after leaving the canal station and the second appears when approaching the waterfront station. This setup requires careful attention to detail to complete the chapter successfully.
            • 03:00 - 04:00: Footlight Ritual and Egg Collection This chapter provides a guide on completing a segment of a game focused on 'Footlight Ritual and Egg Collection'. The player is advised to remember symbols for later use. Instructions include moving to the waterfront area, descending train station stairs, entering beast mode to grapple and open boxes, and then opening the rift doors. The next steps involve reaching the boxing gym to open ritual doors, collecting a belt, and activating a ritual. After completing the ritual, the player collects 'gate one' and uses a train to transition to the footlight district, preparing for the final part of the game sequence.
            • 04:00 - 05:00: Egg Placement and Soul Collection The chapter titled 'Egg Placement and Soul Collection' provides a guide through the Footlight District, focusing on strategic movements and actions in beast mode. It begins with instructions to navigate towards a symbol over the right-hand side through a window. Upon entering beast mode in the Footlight District, the player is advised to grapple to a location known as the Black Lace, shock a power box, and then leap across to a ledge to hit down and open specific boxes on the lower ground level. After opening the Cthulhu box and rift portal doors, players are instructed to exit beast mode and open the rift door again to retrieve a mannequin head on the ground. The chapter culminates with the activation of the final ritual at the Black Glaze, and then collecting a gateway once completed, followed by defeating a Magwa that spawns, thereby allowing entry into the rift.
            • 05:00 - 06:00: Activating the Main Ritual In this chapter, the ritual process involves several intricate steps. Firstly, one must find a portal located in the footlight district and enter into 'beast mode'. While in this state, the objective is to electrify specific symbols on a wall, corresponding to images seen during an earlier train ride. Activating the symbols opens the wall, revealing a Cthulhu box, which should be opened next. Behind the wall is an egg, which needs to be retrieved and placed on a nearby Cthulhu statue.
            • 06:00 - 07:00: Character-Specific Egg Retrieval The chapter titled 'Character-Specific Egg Retrieval' details a step-by-step walkthrough for players to complete an egg retrieval mission in a game. Starting in the district area, players are instructed to collect souls and then move to the waterfront district. There, they must use 'beast mode' to activate a set of stairs and break a Cthulhu box to place and charge the egg with souls. Once finished, the players must move to the canal area as a final location, ensuring to manipulate zombie spawns by running near a statue at a specific barrier. The ultimate goal in each area is to fill the designated spot with collected souls.
            • 07:00 - 08:00: Completing the Margwa Rituals Players need to head to the underground area of the map, return the egg to its altar, and retrieve their sword. The main ritual is then activated by placing gateworms and the summoning key on the ritual table, which takes about 30 seconds to complete. After completion, players have access to the pack-a-punch feature. The next step requires players to collect a character-specific egg from a ritual table located in a corresponding character's room, such as Nero's room in the junction if playing as Nero.
            • 08:00 - 09:00: Flag Placement and Protection In the chapter 'Flag Placement and Protection', the player is guided through the different locations on the map based on the character they are playing. When playing as Jackie Vincent, the detective, the flag is inside the Ruby Rabbit. For Floyd Campbell, the boxer, it's inside the box engine. Jessica Rose, the femme fatale, finds it inside the Black Lace Bullets. Once a player collects the egg from the keeper, they can place it at one of four locations outside of the ritual areas to activate it. This action summons a Margwa, a creature the player must defeat. Players are allowed to perform this task once.
            • 09:00 - 10:00: Final Boss Fight Preparation The chapter focuses on the preparation needed to face the final boss in a game. It mentions specific locations players must visit around the map, such as outside the junction, the boxing gym, the burlesque, and the ruby rabbit. Additionally, it provides a strategy involving the pop shots gobblegum to defeat a character named Magus more efficiently. After completing tasks across all four rounds and visiting all locations, players can return to their character-specific rooms to give the ghost keeper an egg, which leads to receiving an upgraded sword. This upgraded sword is essential for all players to possess before moving forward.
            • 10:00 - 11:00: Boss Fight and Shadow Man Defeat In this chapter titled 'Boss Fight and Shadow Man Defeat', the player is tasked with interacting with a book found inside Nero's room. Once this is done, they move to an underground area to retrieve a flank, which is then used in the canals area to distract incoming 'meatballs'. These enemies target the flag placed on the ground, and if it is hit too many times, it will break. During this sequence, the Shadow Man enters the scene, threatening to spawn bugs if he remains active for too long. The strategy involves quickly defeating the Shadow Man to prevent additional threats, using the canal setting to engage in this battle effectively.
            • 11:00 - 12:00: Completing the Easter Egg in Co-op Mode The chapter explains strategies for completing the Easter Egg in co-op mode efficiently. It discusses using the fearing headlights gobblegum to freeze everything in sight for two minutes, making it easier to protect the flag during this process. Another method involves using the apothecan servant, though for more of a challenge while still being manageable, upgraded weapons like the krm shotgun or hvk assault rifle are recommended. Once the flag shows red electricity after 30 seconds, it's ready to be moved to the next location, repeating the process near different areas to progress.
