Ready to rock out while battling zombies? Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's Astra Malorum map hides a music Easter egg that’s as challenging as it is rewarding. But here's where it gets tricky: unlike simpler Easter eggs, this one demands you complete a significant portion of the main quest before you can even access the final step. Don’t worry, though—it’s not impossible, just a test of your dedication. And this is the part most people miss: it’s not just about finding the headphones; it’s about the journey to get there.
Astra Malorum, like many modern Zombies maps, is packed with secrets, but this particular Easter egg stands out for its complexity. To unlock the iconic track Magic by Avenged Sevenfold, you’ll need to interact with three specific sets of headphones scattered across the map. Here’s the breakdown:
- Machina Astralis: Locate the display case near the Mystery Box. The headphones are right there, waiting for you to press the reload/interact button.
- Luminarium Outer Hallways: Head to the cabinet in the corner, close to the path leading to the Abyssal Rim. It’s easy to overlook, so keep your eyes peeled.
- Mars: Yes, you read that right—Mars. In the corner near the suspended objects, you’ll find the final pair. But here’s where it gets controversial: reaching Mars typically requires completing most of the Easter egg steps, but some players speculate there might be an undiscovered shortcut. Could there be a way to bypass the grind? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
Spoiler alert: The steps below reveal key locations, so proceed with caution if you want to figure it out yourself.
Once you’ve interacted with all three headphones, Magic will blast through the map, adding an epic soundtrack to your zombie-slaying adventures. While the process is grueling, it’s a satisfying payoff for fans of Avenged Sevenfold and CoD’s rich lore.
