Navigate The Wild between rounds 36-37 in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Find the Dark Crypt, Kaboom Room, and optional areas.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Move north from the start, carefully passing a spike trap.
  2. 2
    Approach a flogger (a type of deathtrap). A bonus opportunity guarded by spikes is to the left before the flogger.
  3. 3
    Enter the temple on the left to reach the Dark Crypt, which contains treasure and locked chests. Do not use keys on these chests.
  4. 4
    After leaving the bonus area, turn left and go off the side of the temple to find three armory items (2 boosts and a nuke) separated by spike traps.
  5. 5
    Jump into the water, circle around to the other side of the temple, and pick up a first-person powerup.
  6. 6
    Using your radar (a type of minimap (the small circular map in the bottom-left corner of your screen) showing nearby enemies and items), head south and eliminate gladiator zombies. Collect the numerous free pickups and treasure.
  7. 7
    Continue north on the original trail.
  8. 8
    If playing solo, go north through the flogger. If playing with a team, stick to the left of the flogger.
  9. 9
    You will find an area with helpful items, including 5-6 chickens, weapons, and treasure.
  10. 10
    Continue north to an area with 4 large pillars and 4 large gems on top. In the top right corner is a building with a jump tile.
  11. 11
    Use the jump tile inside the building to collect all 4 gems.
  12. 12
    After collecting the gems, you have two options: cross a wooden bridge to fight hellhounds or backtrack to the flogger trap. Both lead to the same area. The bridge is quicker to the portal exit, but the flogger area has another bonus area and a Deadly Dungeon. It is recommended to backtrack to the flogger trap.
  13. 13
    After passing through the flogger trap again, you will encounter another flogger trap on the right side of the road. Pass through it when safe.
  14. 14
    Prepare to face Gegenees, a 6-armed underboss. You can kill him for a Calling Card or run past him into the Kaboom Room for nukes and plutonium.
  15. 15
    Exit the Kaboom Room, pass under the flogger, and head north to a cliff overlooking a river.
  16. 16
    Jump off the cliff and enter the hidden cave on the right to visit a Deadly Dungeon, or go west in the river until you can go no further, then north onto the river bank.
  17. 17
    Follow the path northward to encounter a zombie elephant. Do not engage immediately.
  18. 18
    Veer right to find a spawn pod for hellhounds. Eliminate them and claim the rewards behind them, which include weapons and occasionally a key.
  19. 19
    South of the weapon and item stash is a chest that does not require a key; collect the gems inside.
  20. 20
    Return to the elephant. You can kill it or use a boost to get past it.
  21. 21
    You will come across some go-karts. Get inside one and drive northwest quickly, using boost if the elephant pursues you.
  22. 22
    You will reach a castle gate. Exit the go-kart quickly.
  23. 23
    If you wish to exit The Wild or do not have keys, the exit portal is to the right of the bottom key door. Enter quickly to avoid the elephant.
  24. 24
    To enter the large gate, a key is required. Be aware of a door trap above. Inside the gate, the left path leads to treasure, weapons, and shield items. The right path leads to another deadly dungeon with a chance at extra lives and keys.
  25. 25
    Explore the stairway in the top right corner of the gate area.
  26. 26
    If short on keys, thoroughly explore the lava areas. Check the yellow box for speed boosts.
  27. 27
    Head north to the lava islands. You can go south across narrow bridges, avoiding fireballs, to find keys, extra lives, or a non-key treasure chest.
