Mamaback's Lair (61-64)

Learn how to defeat the Margwa and survive Mamaback's Lair in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Get tips for using shock towers and managing elite zombies.

Alright, you've pushed through a ton and finally made it to Mamaback's Lair. Seriously, great job getting this far! As soon as you enter, you'll see this massive egg on the wall. Don't waste your ammo on it; it's got a role later on. The arena itself feels a bit like DOA1, with that huge CCCP rocket and a stream cutting through the middle. But don't get too comfortable, because you're about to run into a familiar, terrifying face from Shadows of Evil.

Yep, the Margwa is back, and it's looking for a meal. Just like in Black Ops 3, this thing gets faster with every head you blast off. And watch out – if you get too close, it'll do a ground pound that'll instantly kill you and anyone nearby. Your best bet is to keep your distance and unload on it quickly. If you're playing with friends, you'll be surprised how fast this thing goes down. Honestly, it's not nearly as tough as it was in DOA2 or BO3.

NOTE: Keep in mind that the Margwa won't just drop dead the second its health bar is empty. It might take a few extra seconds to finally go down, so stay back until you're sure it's finished.

The round doesn't end when the Margwa falls, though. For the next three rounds, you'll need to deal with the remaining zombies. Thankfully, this level has more shock towers than most, so use them to your advantage! Try to stay near the center of the map and definitely avoid the spawn points, or you'll be zombie chow. Keep an eye out for any elite zombie types and prioritize taking them down before the regular ones.
