Ancient Evil Trivia Quiz

Answer: Rescue Alistair Rhodes

In the beginning of the storyline, The Order abducted Alistair Rhodes. In trying to track him down, since the very beginning, Stanton Shaw has suggested Delphi, Greece as the location of his whereabouts. That lays out the reasoning for the group being here.

Answer: Kill them with a headshot

If the player does not kill with a headshot, Spartoi can continuously resurrect infinitely until they do. The game hints at this by giving the Spartoi a shield covering most of their body below the neck and above the knees, making it difficult to shoot them at all without hitting their head.

If ever unsure of whether or not they hit the head, the player should eye their point total. If they headshot a Spartoi and killed it, they'll earn points. If they "killed" the Spartoi without a headshot, they will not earn any points at all.

Answer: Gaia

The hands of Gaia, Charon, Ouranos and Hemera make up the four Wonder Weapons on this map. Each has its own unique effect but, in general, each can be wielded to absolutely devastating extents. My personal favorite is the Hand of Gaia, capable of essentially calling down a death laser from space to smite enemies standing in front of the user.

But realistically, it is difficult to rank the four, as each is incredible in its own way.

Answer: Kill a swarm of a specific enemy with unlimited ammunition

When the player has the "Fallen" version of their God Hand, they can embark on a very brief collect-a-thon quest, which will then end off with the player needing to "prove themselves" to whatever God they have the hand of. This will involve teleporting to a secluded, isolated room, receiving the Redeemed version of the God Hand on temporarily unlimited ammunition, and using it to fight off zombies.

Later, with the Redeemed version in hand, players must essentially do something similar all over again. This time, when they are tasked with "proving themselves", they may use whatever weapon they want, but will not have unlimited ammunition, and must this time survive against a wave of a particular enemy.

Those seeking to upgrade the Hand of Charon must repel a swarm of Blightfathers. Those looking to enhance the Hand of Gaia will need to survive a swarm of Catalyst zombies. Hemera is up there with Charon as being genuinely challenging, as players looking to upgrade Hemera will need to hold out against a group of Gegenees. Finally, Ouranos gets the easy way out here, as players will merely need to survive regular zombies - a high quantity of them, but regular zombies - to be able to upgrade.

Whenever the challenge has been passed and the Exalted version is available, players need merely Pack-a-Punch it to gain their reward.

Answer: Three

Gegenees have six arms. Two of them hold spears that it will throw at players who make too much distance. Two of them hold swords which it will use if the player gets close. This leaves the last two to hold a shield, which is capable of charging and firing a blinding light at the player.

The Gegenees will tend to reserve its shield attack for when it gets low on health.

Answer: Blightfather

Blightfathers did not appear to harass the alternate crew on Dead of the Night, but they otherwise appear on every Chaos map in which the standard Chaos Crew is present. Here, they won't appear until much later than usual, giving way early to the Gegenees. In particular, the Blightfather becomes quite the pain if the player wants to obtain the Exalted Hand of Charon.

Answer: Pegasus

Players must craft the Golden Bridle, at which point they will be able to ride Pegasus into the underground depths of Delphi, known in-game as the Center of the World. After undergoing a small quest here, players can finally upgrade their weapons.

Answer: A random in-game challenge

On spawning in, players can immediately interact with the Oracle. Here, once per round, they can begin an Oracle Tribute. These are time sensitive challenges to accomplish something specific. It can range from remaining in a specific part of the map, killing zombies in a specific part of the map, killing them in certain ways and, perhaps the most infamous, avoiding any damage from all sources.

In order to ignite the Flame of Apollo and begin the quest, each player must earn nine points from Oracle Tributes. To earn an Epic reward is six points, so each player must do a minimum of two Oracle Tributes per person. If there are two players, they need eighteen points or three Epic rewards between the two. If the party is full, the team would need 36 points, so six Epics would do the trick.

Answer: Shield

The Apollo's Will shield will do the trick, courtesy of the spear it comes with. By using the spear's melee attack on the Flame of Apollo, players can ignite the tip of the spear with this flame and use it to set three separate oil trails on fire.

Answer: Charon

The Charon Hand must have been upgraded to the Redeemed Hand of Charon. With it, the player must go to the Spartan Monument and use the Redeemed hand of Charon to light up three statue heads near the monument, which are randomized.

Answer: Gegenees

This step can definitely be frustrating, as the Gegenees does not have a particularly reliable way to get him to immediately use the shield blast attack when it's convenient. Generally, getting him low on health gets him to use the attack, but getting him to do it in the direction of the ankh is definitely the hardest part about this step.

Fortunately, once the ankh is revealed, a Gegenees will actually spawn a minimum of once per round until this step is finished, when they ordinarily appear randomly every 3-6 rounds. So players at least have that going for then.

Answer: Gaia

With the Redeemed Hand of Gaia, the wielder must use single shots against tree branches near the Danu perk which have symbols on them. After this, a Gegenees will spawn which the Gaia wielder must kill. If done correctly, this Gegenees will drop an important but seemingly mundane pole. Players must take this pole and place it in the sundial at the Offering of the Attalids.

Here, a player must then kill an Electric Catalyst near the pole and interact with more symbols to proceed.

Answer: Five

Players will randomly be tasked to use a particular God Hand, and they will also need to adhere to using either single shots or charged shots exclusively. They will need to kill zombies glowing a color in common with their particular God Hand, and they must do so quickly. If a player fails, the game proceeds to hand out a new challenge. If a player fails five times cumulatively before the entire step is finished, the game will flash a white screen at all players and reset everything, forcing players to try again on the next round.

Answer: Shaw

This specific step is squarely responsible for the game ensuring someone is playing as Shaw if in a co-op session. If the team is 2-3 players long, it is guaranteed that one of them will be Shaw no matter what. If playing solo, this restriction is lifted as the ensuing cinematic will simply very briefly replace the player with Shaw, if applicable, before returning them to their original character.

Once Shaw is present and interacting with the door, a very brief cinematic will play. Players may proceed from here.

Answer: Ouranos

Thankfully, the process for this is very simple. By simply aiming and firing a shot at the Ballista, it will be loaded and nearly primed for fire.

Answer: Venom Trap

This will require the Venom Trap to be built in the Python's Pass. If players actually have made it this far, constructing the Venom Trap will be elementary compared to the absurd journey needed just to make it here.

After construction, one player must take out the Apollo's Will shield and run through the trap once it has been activated. Then, meleeing the Ballista with the spear will infuse the shots with venom and leave it ready for deployment.

Answer: Dark Pegasus

The Pegasus used to access Pack-a-Punch will be taken over, similarly to Godfrey from Dead of the Night, and corrupted by The Order. It will fly around the small space players are able to maneuver. In order to damage it, players must use bullet weapons to shoot it down out of the sky. Once it lands, it can only take damage from Specialist Weapons, so players must have them ready to go and lay into Dark Pegasus while it's down.

This will likely take a few tries, as Dark Pegasus does not stay down forever. That said, the premise of this fight is pretty simple - it merely encourages players to have levelled up their Specialist Weapon to make it as straightforward as possible.

Answer: Perseus

Once Dark Pegasus has been slain, Perseus will absorb its power and appear to attack the team. Somewhat disappointingly, the manner in which Perseus must be fought is nearly identical to Dark Pegasus; he will throw a bolt of lightning at a random player, then appear at the location he threw it at. From here, players must shoot him with bullet weapons until he staggers, where they must then use a Specialist Weapon to damage him.

The only significant difference between Perseus and Dark Pegasus is that Perseus is easier to hit since he's up close, but he also actually fights back unlike Dark Pegasus, whose only form of offense came from the nearby population of zombies.

Either way, if players actually managed to complete the frankly ridiculous quest needed to get here, almost never will Dark Pegasus or Perseus actually defeat them. Between possessing Redeemed, possibly Exalted God Hands, having a souped up Specialist, probably having at least one fully Pack-a-Punched gun and likely having powerful Elixirs, the player simply has too much to work with for these bosses to pose much of a threat.

Answer: Mount Olympus

In Greek mythology, Mount Olympus was regarded as the abode of the gods and the site of the throne of Zeus. In this game, players will find themselves standing on platforms hovering over this enormous landmark. They will use jump pads to go from platform to platform

Answer: The crew was tricked and betrayed

Since entering Delphi, Oracle has told the crew she can help save Alistair Rhodes if the crew aids her. To make an extremely long story short, killing Perseus and essentially driving out The Order did constitute 'aiding' Oracle. During this cutscene, Bruno and Shaw rush into the Temple to search for Alistair Rhodes, who the crew has been trying to find this entire time. Scarlett stays behind to tend to Oracle, who she believes is dying.

It actually turns out Oracle is Medusa, and Medusa manages to look into Scarlett's eyes, effectively disabling her. Meanwhile, Bruno and Shaw manage to get corrupted by The Order just as they find what appears to be a stone form of Alistair, who was almost certainly petrified by Medusa. It is this which is supposed to convey to the player that Oracle knew exactly where Alistair was the entire time, and was the one who brought about his demise. The members of The Order who originally abducted Alistair are also found petrified here.

Diego manages to recover Scarlett from Medusa without Medusa managing to petrify him. Devastatingly, this is where the story ends on a cliffhanger, as Diego grabs Scarlett's vegetated body and is seen holding her close, trying to hide from a nearby Medusa who is looking for him.

Simply put, this storyline will forever be left on this cliffhanger, as Treyarch announced not terribly long afterward that it was discontinued. The Sentinel Artifact would go on to see use during "Black Ops 6", but the Chaos Crew's story was dead and buried after this cinematic.
