The new Citadelle des Morts Zombies map is live in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 with Season 1 Reloaded. This new map features a complete main storyline quest, but it also includes a hidden story cutscene that can only be unlocked by playing as Maya. Here’s everything you need to know to experience this hidden cutscene for yourself. Be warned, this guide contains spoilers.
Citadelle des Morts is a fortress located in France, and the Zombies narrative here continues from where the main story quest for Terminus left off. This is also an exciting tale for Zombies enthusiasts, as the happenings of Terminus and Citadelle des Morts merge tales from Treyarch’s previously unrelated Zombies narratives.
How to unlock Maya’s secret cutscene
The primary requirement to unlock this secret is playing Citadelle des Morts as Maya. Pay attention to the in-game prompts that will guide you through the initial steps of the map, leading you to the Pack-a-Punch room.
The first step of this Easter egg cannot be triggered until after round 11. Keep a zombie alive at the end of round 12 or higher, and then head to the Dining Hall, which is the same room that contains the Vulture Aid perk.
Go upstairs by the Vulture Aid machine, and you will find a wooden door in the left corner. There is also a table with a radio beside it. Interact with the radio first, and you will hear a person named Franco talking to you.
He will unlock the door, allowing you to enter a secret room that is otherwise inaccessible. Once through the door, you will find yourself in a very narrow passageway. You will be surrounded by Vermin enemies while you try to move, so it’s best to hold back and take them out first.
From there, proceed into a room featuring the map’s new special enemy type known as the Doppelghast. Defeat the first one before advancing. Then, you will encounter an elite version of the Doppelghast called Laurent. Defeating him will give you a key. This key will help unlock the door where Franco is hiding, granting you access to Maya’s hidden cutscene.
Overview of Maya’s cutscene
Significant spoilers ahead: Maya is introduced as a brand-new character in Zombies. She arrives at Terminus with the intention of finding her brother Nathan. However, during the events of the Terminus story quest, we discover that Nathan has been subjected to experiments by scientists working with Richtofen as part of Project Janus. Unfortunately, Maya must confront and kill the mutated mini-boss that was once her brother.
In the cutscene, Maya confronts Franco. It forms part of her quest for vengeance against those who harmed her brother.
