Black Ops 6 Zombies: How to Get the World Domination Achievement
If you’re a die-hard fan of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and its infamous Zombies mode, you’re probably eager to snag every achievement possible. One standout achievement that has players buzzing is the World Domination Trophy. This achievement is tied to the Liberty Falls map, where players can transform into the supervillain Aetherella and wreak havoc on the undead hordes. It’s as fun as it sounds and rewards players with an unforgettable power-up for a short duration. So, how exactly do you unlock this trophy and turn into the deadly Aetherella?
Understanding the World Domination Achievement
The World Domination Achievement is a side Easter egg in Black Ops 6’s Liberty Falls map. To unlock it, players must complete a series of tasks that lead them to collect Aetherella figurines scattered throughout the map. The goal? Once you’ve gathered all nine figures, you’ll temporarily transform into Aetherella herself, equipped with lethal optic blasts that can annihilate zombies and elite enemies like Manglers and Abominations.
Before you begin, remember this: You’ll need the Jet Gun, Liberty Falls’ wonder weapon, to collect the figurines. The Jet Gun can either be crafted or obtained via the Mystery Box, but we’ll cover crafting it step by step later.
How to Craft the Jet Gun
The Jet Gun is crucial for your transformation into Aetherella. To craft this powerful weapon, you’ll need three key parts, which are scattered across Liberty Falls. Here’s how to find and assemble them:
Step 1: Locate the Handbrake
- Location: Near the cemetery by the Church.
- How to Obtain: Head to the cemetery and fight off zombies until a special Groundskeeper enemy spawns. Defeating the Groundskeeper will drop a Tool Shed Key. Use this key to unlock a nearby backyard shed, where you’ll find the Handbrake.
Step 2: Find the Water Pressure Gauge
- Location: Near the flower shop.
- How to Obtain: Go to the intersection in the middle of the map, and near the front of the Flower Store, you’ll find a water valve. Grab it, then make your way to the bowling alley. Attach the valve to the panel to the right of the bowling lanes. Turn the valve until the pressure builds up, and the Water Pressure Gauge is released.
Step 3: Obtain the Electrical Wires
- Location: Inside the Radio Store.
- How to Obtain: This part requires a bit more firepower. You’ll need a Mangler Cannon, which can either be crafted at a salvage station (if you’ve reached level 20 or higher) or obtained by defeating Mangler enemies that spawn starting at Wave 11. Have the Mangler shoot the door of the Radio Store to blast it open. Inside, you’ll find the Electrical Wires amongst the electronics.
Step 4: Assemble the Jet Gun
Once you’ve gathered all three parts (Handbrake, Water Pressure Gauge, and Electrical Wires), head to the Motel’s second floor. Enter the crafting room and assemble the Jet Gun. Now, you’re ready to hunt down the Aetherella figurines.
Finding All Aetherella Figurines
With your Jet Gun in hand, you’ll need to collect nine Aetherella figures spread across Liberty Falls. The Jet Gun’s “suck” function is essential for pulling these figurines into your inventory. Here’s a breakdown of where to find each one:
Aetherella Figure #1-4: Olly’s Comics
- Location: Riverside area of the map.
- How to Obtain: All four of these figures are hidden inside Olly’s Comics, located to the right when you spawn near the Motel. The exact locations inside Olly’s Comics are:
- On a wooden table by the back entrance’s blue door.
- On a display shelf near the comic stands, next to Quick Revive.
- In the window display to the left as you enter.
- On a shelf next to a life-size Aetherella statue.
Aetherella Figure #5: Yummy Freeze Rooftop
- Location: The Yummy Freeze rooftop.
- How to Obtain: Purchase the zipline near the Savings & Loans Bank, which takes you to The Alamo. From there, buy access to the breakable wall and drop down to the Yummy Freeze Rooftop. You’ll find the figure near the air vents on the opposite side.
Aetherella Figure #6: Motel Sign
- Location: East Main Street.
- How to Obtain: Look for the “No Vacancies” sign on the side of the Motel. Jump onto a nearby car and use the Jet Gun to pull the figurine from the top of the sign.
Aetherella Figure #7: Liberty Lanes Sign
- Location: West Main Street.
- How to Obtain: Exit through the bowling alley and hop onto the Liberty Falls Transit Bus. Face the Liberty Lanes sign, and you’ll see the figurine lying face down under the “L.”
Aetherella Figure #8: Flower Shop Window
- Location: Washington Avenue.
- How to Obtain: Head to the rooftop where Speed Cola is located. Face between North West and North, and you’ll find the figure resting on the window ledge of the Flower Shop.
Aetherella Figure #9: Church Window Ledge
- Location: The Church Forecourt.
- How to Obtain: Stand outside the Church and look up at the windows. The last figurine is sitting on the right column’s ledge, near the entrance to the Church.
Turning into Aetherella
Once you’ve sucked up the ninth and final Aetherella figurine with the Jet Gun, you’ll automatically transform into the supervillain herself. Here’s what to expect:
- Duration: You’ll stay as Aetherella for 1 minute and 30 seconds.
- Abilities: During this time, you’re completely invulnerable to enemy attacks. Aetherella has a continuous beam of optic blasts shooting from her eyes, dealing immense damage to zombies, Manglers, and Abominations.
- Strategy: Use this time wisely to clear as many rounds as possible, as the optic blasts are powerful enough to wipe out entire hordes.
When the timer runs out, you’ll return to your operator, but by then, you’ll have likely decimated enough zombies to make a serious dent in the round progression.
Unlocking the Achievement
The World Domination Achievement will unlock the moment you get your first kill as Aetherella. It’s a gratifying reward for all the hard work, and the brief stint as a laser-blasting supervillain is one of the most exciting moments in Black Ops 6 Zombies.
