While it may seem odd to cook during a zombie apocalypse, this achievement is a fun challenge that will have you scouring Terminus Island for hidden items to create your bizarre meal.

This guide will walk you through the process step by step, from catching your fish to gathering the weird ingredients, and finally, cooking it all up to earn the Culinary Delight achievement.

What is the Culinary Delight Achievement?

The Culinary Delight achievement in Black Ops 6 Zombies is a secret, cryptic quest that involves cooking a fish with six odd ingredients. While this achievement doesn’t give you any significant gameplay benefits, it’s a fun Easter egg worth adding to your collection, especially for completionists or those who enjoy uncovering hidden tasks.

Let’s dive into the details of how you can unlock this culinary achievement on Terminus Island.

Where to Find the Fish on Terminus Island

The first step in your culinary adventure is to catch a fish. On Terminus Island, you won’t be using a fishing rod to snag your dinner. Instead, you’ll be using explosives. Here’s how to do it:

1. Head to the Docks, located beneath the Sea Tower.
2. Equip any Lethal Equipment, such as a grenade or any type of explosive.
3. Throw your explosive into the water. After it detonates, a few fish will float to the surface.
4. Jump into the water and interact with the fish by pressing the appropriate button (likely “X” on consoles) to collect it.

While the fish will stay in the water, as long as you interact with it, it will be registered in your inventory, ready for the next step.

Where to Find All Secret Ingredients

To cook your fish for the Culinary Delight achievement, you’ll need to gather six specific ingredients spread across Terminus Island. Here’s where to find each one:

1. Salt – You can find salt on top of the fridge in the upper level of the Living Quarters.
2. Battery – The battery is located in the Engineering area, sitting on the center desk.
3. Brain – Head to the Bio Labs near the Sea Caves. You’ll find the brain opposite the Tentacle Trap next to a lab station.
4. Eggplant – Check the Mess Hall. The eggplant usually spawns near the wooden pinboard.
5. Can of Beans – The can of beans is located in the Mess Hall, at the front left corner between wooden crates of vegetables.
6. Cooking Oil – You’ll find the cooking oil on a middle shelf in the Mess Hall, near the stoves and ovens.

Once you’ve gathered all six ingredients, you’re ready to head to the kitchen and start cooking.

Cooking the Fish: Unlocking the Culinary Delight Achievement

With the fish and ingredients in hand, it’s time to cook up your bizarre dish. Follow these steps to complete the process:

1. Go to the Mess Hall, where you found several of the ingredients.
2. Locate the stove next to the deep fryers in the Mess Hall.
3. Interact with the stove to add the Cooking Oil first, followed by the fish.
4. Keep pressing the interact button to add each of the six strange ingredients: Salt, Battery, Brain, Eggplant, Can of Beans, and Cooking Oil.
5. Once you’ve added everything, the pan will ignite in a strange blue and green flame.
6. After a few moments, stay nearby until you hear a horn or bell sound, indicating that the fish is ready.

Once the sound cue goes off, walk over to the pan and interact with it to collect your cooked fish. This will unlock the Culinary Delight achievement!

Alternative Steps for the Culinary Delight Achievement

In case the initial method doesn’t work, you can also follow an alternative set of steps, which includes interacting with specific objects on Terminus Island that may add a bit more flavor to the experience:

1. First Power Cell: Complete the initial power cell challenge, which is also part of the main story quest on Terminus.
2. Unicorn Dolls: After the first power cell, find the unicorn doll in a locker nearby and interact with it. Do the same with another unicorn doll after completing the second power cell. The second doll will drop a Shockwave weapon.
3. Snowball-Shaped Item: Near the second power cell, interact with a snowball-shaped object on top of a fridge to collect it.
4. Propane Cylinder and Oil/Wine Jar: Head to the Rec Room (with the tables, chairs, and kitchen), and collect a propane cylinder and oil/wine jar from the corners of the room.
5. Brain in Pack-A-Punch Room: Go through the caves to the Pack-A-Punch room. Inside, on a table with scientific equipment, you’ll find the brain.
6. Catch the Fish: Use the Shockwave weapon to blast fish out of the water near the Docks. Although you can’t officially “collect” the fish, interact with it to make sure it registers.

Once all the ingredients are collected, return to the Mess Hall to cook the dish, just as described earlier.

Earning the Culinary Delight achievement in Black Ops 6 Zombies is a fun and strange challenge that rewards your exploration and patience. From blowing up fish in the sea to gathering bizarre ingredients like a battery and a brain, this hidden Easter egg is as entertaining as it is cryptic.

Follow the steps in this guide, and soon you’ll have this secret achievement added to your trophy case. While it won’t give you in-game superpowers, it’s definitely something worth bragging about to your fellow players.
