Number one for storytelling most definitely. It literally ended off with a boom and you just can't beat that. Now actually doing it, it's probably not one of the most fun Easter eggs to do for casuals, but the rewards most definitely outweigh the cons if you're up for it. It's most definitely the best one to do for veteran players though
18:05 he literally says "alright so we need to go back to area 51, and then we look on our right," like he was clearly reading a guide of some sort. How did no one figure this out for 13 years?
i think it was legit the fact at that time we just had youtube videos lmao and everyone being so hype and excited to see/do the whole egg hindisght yeah its obvious but you had blinders on watching it happen in real time
First zombies gotta find me Whats 50,000 points to a player like me can you please remind me? Easter egg so hard got a broke clock Threw a grenade it went tick tock
There's a lot on moon that could be done and that's just how phenomenal it was. you could be a die hard zombie veteran and still learn something new about the map even if it's years later
I'm working on this EE right now and man it is brutal. The Mystery Box luck is hard enough but the excavators on top of it is way to much left up to chance.
Luckily we got lucky our first try but I heard countless times from other players how stressful it is to get the QEDS from the mystery box. Hope you get it though because the rewards are worth it getting every perk and permanently stays there even going down . But mine glitched out and only got 5 because I went down right when we finished it and was getting the perks and only got to stamin up before going down along with my other 4. So yeah I was kinda bummed lol but still Worth it. Bo1 zombies is hard for the mystery box btw but if you are playing bo3 zombies, then find people with fire sale gobblegums. It makes it way easier
Moon was fun and the dead astronaut following you around can be someone on your friends list that shit was so cool. They never did cool stuff like this again in my opinion.
I remember way back in the black ops 2 days, Play the game Central who ended up leaking a bunch of intel for mob, buried, and origins that turned out to be true upon release; they mentioned that moon’s steps were leaked and the first in the world wasn’t legit.
The alarm is the most nostalgic thing i can think of. Pulling the "make your team wait and go down and ruin the game" prank was my favorite troll. I did this an entire day once in public lobbies, and 1 of them we actually survived after they realized that if they let me die, then they can teleport.
The Astronaut changes excavators? WTF YOU'RE TELLING ME ALL THOSE GAMES SPENT WAITING FOR EXCAVATOR PI TO DE-COMPRESS TUNNEL 6 FOR EE!? I never knew that man.
Let me start by saying this is a great video. Moon is my favorite Zombies map and I still go back to it playing often. I've never been concerned with "world first" completion but I do like the context provided about this particular claim. I am not seeing anywhere in various wikis that explains the mechanics of the excavators. The one fandom wiki says taking out the astronaut zombie "changes the pattern" but what is the pattern? There are no further details on the Astronaut Zombie Page or the excavator page. Back in the day there were all kinds of "myths" in zombies. Especially in Kino like meleeing the power boxes in the spawn room or the stacks of paper to make the game harder or something.... I don't really remember. Unless I can find it documented on how the mechanic works I still think this is random. I'd hate this to be the case but I feel like this another "myth" that got immortalized into the wiki and now people believe it without there being any real proof.
Another fantastic vid thank you very much!! One thing to note about this map is that the Earth actually showcases Pangea. There’s a post on the CoD Zombies forum that talks about leaked info that’s VERY hard to substantiate, but I think it’s true entirely due to it being perfect for what Zielinski was attempting to do with the mode and his weird, weird ideas. In the end they never came around due to his removal from the company, but I find it super interesting in spite of that. Will post in the comments of this reply just so no one who’s watching this series as a first timer gets spoiled on everything BO2, specifically up to the third DLC Buried!
The post: This sort of fits into Jimmy Zielinski's original plan for the chronology of Black Ops 2. Now what I'm about to say is leaked info that I've very little evidence to substantiate, so feel free to take it with a grain of salt. The Zielinskiverse had a distinct concept known as "pockets". These are sort of comparable to Fractures, in that they allowed more freedom with the setting of the maps, though the in-lore mechanics of how these systems worked are totally different. In BO1 moon, you can clearly see that the configuration of the earth's continents seems almost like Pangaea, or at the very least some time in prehistory. Taking this idea of time pockets, the in-studio explanation for Buried was that Griffin Station was contained within a pocket of time from this prehistoric period, and by launching the missiles of 115, you were forcing that period onto the modern earth - hence why Buried's setting was given as "Primary Plates" - it's quite literally the first tectonic configuration. Now with all that exposition out of the way: Zielinski's idea was that (and this is a bit of a mindfuck), via time pockets, there was a huge paradox in play here in that the Maxis ending of buried takes place simultaneously. This is the reason for Maxis dialogue about a purge of the entire earth and the shaking of the screen. Of course, for Buried to even occur, the rockets have to had already impacted the earth - thus is the paradox, and I'm sure this relates directly to the Navcard paradox as well. Interestingly, there is some (potential) evidence to back this up for any who would doubt this account I've given (which is 100% reasonable as I said at the beginning of the reply). In the video linked below, after GQ discussing with Zielinski about how the real life inspiration for Moon's biodome is next to the real life inspiration for Buried's maze, he says "Maybe, just maybe, these locations are not just close IRL" (timestamp 4:22), which I personally consider to be in support of this information.
Omfg, there are way to Manny moments he is accurately directing the team to complete Easter egg steps. No speculation or guess work is seen. It's just, "okay this is what we need to do now/next"
Well, done video Evan. This is my favorite map and I still play it till this day. There are lots of players that I joined with that have never even done the Easter egg and it’s been years since this came out.
Diversifying your content further has been so great as a viewer. Im a sucker for anything zombies related. But like- would you ever cover Gears of War lore, maps, and famous players, etc? It was such a huge title in the early 2000's/2010's, and has a great ongoing community. Would love to see it, keep up the good work man. 🤘

Bro you are my favorite destiny 2 TH-camr, been following since 2018 and now it's great that you're making videos about my favorite franchise (cod zombies) hopefully this videos do well and you keep doing more content about zombies 🍻
Me and my friends used to have this theory why Samantha didn’t attack us as soon as she was freed and it was because she was basically a hivemind of millions of zombies. She couldn’t focus on her host body just to defend herself so she simply focused on sending out the horde.
i like the vikitis crew better than any other crew. Marlton with his little voice easter egg. stulhinger feeding off zombies and being able to here richtofen. russman with his EPIC "iiiii need to make a withdrawal" quote. i still say that quote more than any quotes. Misty and her bits i guess. i cant remember if there was anything cool besides her skimpy clothing. i could be wrong. There was more to go off in terms of character devleopment if they were to reuse the viktis crew. Stuhlinger more than others for sure.
Wait. are you serious about the astronaut being linked with the excavators???? Seriously??? How and when did people figure that out??? Moon was one of my favourite maps, and I didn't know that.
I did this Easter egg once on BO3, and as soon as I FINALLY got the ball into the pyramid and filled the tubes up with souls, I went down as soon as Samantha rose from the pyramid then died as soon as I revived myself. I was so pissed off 😒 I even got the trophy while I was down reviving myself, which is just sad smh As much as I wanna love moon, that map genuinely pisses me off both BO1 and BO3 versions, maybe I need to complete this Easter egg with a friend to make it easier because I always tried doing it on solo and that shit can take hours
I haven't heard the name NGT tactics in forever when you said it i was like oh man i remember spiderbite and i think the last time i seen them was origin's
i need more information on that "astronaut changes order" thing cause I use to speedrun this map and didn't know. Is this only a BO1 thing? or is this in BO3 aswell? is the order ALWAYS pi first unless you kill him? or like wtf
Only race I was apart of. Thankfully, unlike Shangri la you could do this with 3 players and my team and I were in a game literally watching this guy who posted a video with the final steps with like 20 views. Pretty sure my team was in the top 100 first to finish
currently laughing my ass off learning that killing the astronaut can change what excavator comes down or that speed cola can increase the hacker speed. Will this help my speedruns on this map? Idk, but I will try to implement it into my strats >:)
I’m glad you’re covering more zombies, but kinda find it annoying you’re just reusing the vids you already made on your 2nd channel. Hopefully finally get the Black Ops 2 map’s stories!
Wow, what a fantastic high quality video, from intro to end completely hooked. Keep up the great work, man. The zombies community (and gaming in general) needs videos like these.
wait so killing the astronaught zombie changed the excavators this is news to me and i played moon mon release and for years after and im only finding this out now MAN I FEEL DUMB XD
The QED had so much it could do it could either be really bad or really good. I just wish it wasn't so random because it had potential to be better than the gersche device
The best thing for me was the space suit zombie. Since it took the name from someone on our friend list, we once had the space zombie named LA Verga. All game our we were screaming La Verga got me, or La Verga is chasing me

if u on xbox add me and ill help lol
If you kill the astronaut the excavator changes, if you keep him alive, 6 is guaranteed to be the third excavator at most
make sure you turn on power before you end round 1.
