There are a few steps to achieving your goal of turning the power on, so buckle in and let’s light up Forsaken!

Here’s how you can turn the power on in Cold War’s Forsaken map:

  1. Load a game of Forsaken up and wait until your character is allowed to move
  2. Immediately head to the teleporter indicated by the star objective marker and go through it
  3. Again, make your way to the next objective icon and purchase the ‘Locked Door’ guarding the zipline for 500 Points
  4. Head to either ‘Beach Pizza’ or ‘Diner’ and pay to unlock whichever one you have chosen
  5. Go inside, find the teleporter and enter it
  6. You should arrive on ‘Video Store Rooftop,’ buy the door immediately following the teleporter, and travel to the indicated teleporter
  7. To progress, you’ll need ‘4 Repair Parts,’ and these can be found using the four symbols on your map, in randomly generated placers in that marked area
  8. They consist of the following items:
    • Fryer Cage – Burger Town
    • Cathode-Ray Tube – TV Store
    • Circuit Board – Video Store 1F
    • Focusing Lens – Cinema
  9. Now, repair the teleporter, travel to the ‘Bunker Entrance,’ and buy the blue door highlighted by your objective
  10. You need to go to the next teleporter, but it will produce an ‘Abomination’ zombie, simply kill it and head on through the teleporter
  11. “Lift Lockdown,” per the objective, and the power should now be workingforsaken's lift lockdown objective prompt

It’s true that killing endless streams of Zombies is satisfying and fun, but it can be made even better if you obtain some amazing weapons to do it. This is why you must unlock the Chrysalax Wonder Weapon during a game of Cold War’s Forsaken Zombies.

Not only does it look like a cool, undead-slaying implement of destruction, but its special powers will make your gameplay far more efficient.

2. Open the mystery box

As with all incarnations of Zombies in Cold War, the map has a Mystery Box that tends to be slightly erratic and shift around from place to place. Spend 950 Points on the box and pray that the Zombies gods are in your favor, delivering you a Chrysalax.

A nice and easy way to obtain it, but a route that requires a great deal of luck to work successfully.

3. Legendary Trial Rewards

The Forsaken map has a trial machine for you to make use of, providing you with different objectives in exchange for great rewards.

If you are able to smash the challenge and level up your potential reward to “Legendary” tier, then you have the chance to claim a Chrysalax upon redemption of the reward.

4. Der Eisendrache Gold Chest

cold war pinball machine side quest

There are arcade games in Forsaken, and one of them is quite important as you can potentially earn a free Chrysalax from playing one.

To do this:

  1. Collect arcade tokens dropped by Zombies
  2. Head to the arcade games and use the tokens to to trigger the “Der Eisendrache” Pinball machine
  3. You’ll be taken to an area reminiscent of the Dragon side quest in Outbreak Zombies
  4. Kill zombies in the designated area until the canisters on the side of the dragon monument are full
  5. Once you are successful, a Golden Chest will be dropped
  6. Open it, and hopefully claim a Chrysalax
  7. If not, then repeat the above steps
  1. First thing’s first, you need to turn on the power by ending the lockdown – we have a full guide on turning the power on in Forsaken
  2. You now need to get the Chrysalax, we also have a guide to get the Chrysalax, and once you’ve done that, head to the Observation Tower
  3. In the room with a Mystery Box location there is a button on the wall next to the windows with metal shutters, press it
  4. Watch/skip the cutscene and then head to ‘Fuel Processing,’ in here will be a pipe with a control panel on it that asks you to ‘Activate’ the Processing Tank (youneed to activate one box per player in the game)
  5. You’ll now go into lockdown, and once you complete it, you can pick up the ‘Fuel Tank’ item that falls from the ceiling
  6. Three big, Aether Crystals will now appear around the Forsaken map:
    • Storage Zone 5 – Rooftops
    • The Amplifier
    • Staging Area
  7. For each of them, you need to use the Chrysalax’s gun function and shoot the protective orbs floating around the crystal, then smash it with the axe form
  8. In each scenario, pick up a ‘Crystal Shard’ that it drops, and wait for the spawned Abomination to open its mouth for you to throw the Crystal Shard into
  9. The Abomination’s tail should turn red, allowing you to kill it and collect the newly-created ‘Catalyzed Crystal Shard’ – do this for all three locations
  10. NOTE: For the Amplifier crystal, allow the Abomination to follow you all the way to the ‘Board Room,’ and get it to charge into the statue/pedastal in the corner of the room – collect the Housing Unit it drops
  1. Apply the ‘Dead Wire‘ mod to your gun, lure a Zombie to the ‘Arcade,’ and shoot one whilst it’s next to the ‘Grand Prix’ machine to turn it on
  2. Buy an ‘ARC-XD’ for 2,000 Points and drive it into the TV Station
  3. Drive behind the counter, very carefully, and wait for the pulse to knock the cover off the vent
  4. Make your way inside the vent and detonate the car next to the wall
  5. Once you’ve resumed control of your character, go to the TV Station and obtain the ‘Monitoring Device’ that is now visible thanks to the hole in the wall
  6. Head to the ‘Main Steet,’ go to the Workbench, and it’s time for you to ‘Assemble Aetherium Neutralizer’
  7. With the device in motion, follow it down the street and stay inside its protective area as you’ll take damage if you venture outside of it
  8. Fend off attacking Zombies and keep shooting red Aether Crystals to get more Catalyzed Crystal Shards – these will help to refuel the Neutralizer
  9. Reach the safe zone and this will be your final chance to get everything you need: Perks, Pack-A-Punch, crafting items such as the Kazimir Grenade, etc
  1. Use the Chrysalax’s gun mode and shoot The Forsaken’s shoulders until the crystals break and its shield depletes
  2. Now kill Zombies near Samanatha Maxis until her ‘Maxis Essence Level’ is full, and then you’ll be able to place a fully-charged canister into one of the Laser Cannons
  3. Do your best to land shots on The Forsaken, using the cannon, until it loses power and goes offline again
  4. Repeat the canister-filling process, mount a Laser Cannon and unleash another barrage of fire at The Forsaken
  5. Once you get The Forsaken down to half health, you’ll eventually be transported to an almost empty void with a wall displaying art if Samantha Maxis and the words “No One Escapes Alive”
  6. You’ll then return to the fight, but this time you need to shoot the mid-section crystals to eradicate The Forsaken’s shield
  7. Again, you need to make sure you’re keeping Maxis filled, take the canister, jump back onto a Cannon, and get The Forsaken down to about 25% health
  8. The final bar of shield can be dealt with by shooting at The Forsaken’s head, and then it’s a case of filling the canister and using a Laser Cannon to take away the last slivers of health
  9. You will be automatically downed by the events happening around you, and you will then be shown the final cutscene
