The Wild (Between rounds 60-61)

Navigate the treacherous Wild between rounds 60 and 61 in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. This guide details avoiding traps, defeating enemies, and reaching the exit.

This section of The Wild is only accessible after beating round 60 and is disconnected from other areas. You begin in first-person view in water; exit it onto the bridges to revert to third-person. Use your brief invincibility to defeat the Wardens, then blast nearby crates for power-ups. Head north towards the exit portal, avoiding hidden spike traps and Megaton zombies.

If playing with 2 or more players, head east. Before proceeding, destroy the bats spawning near a small pool of green water to the north. Then, proceed east to an area with a flogger deathtrap and fireballs. A player must step on a switch to activate an elevator; another player can then go up to collect treasures and press another switch. Meanwhile, the player below must advance through a corridor called the "Hell Hall," which features fireballs, zombie spawn pods, enemies, and potentially a Gegenees underboss. At the end of this corridor are fire-breathing dragon statues. Pass through them when safe to enter a locked door containing massive gems and possibly an extra life, accessible once the player above presses their switch.

Afterward, everyone should return through the flogger trap and continue north towards the exit. You will reach a small building structure. A skull-shaped entrance is at the top. Two paths lead here: the traditional spike-wall stairway, or a preferred route up a stairway to the right, guarded by Megatons. This path involves crossing a narrow bridge to an area overlooking a Gegenees fight, which is easier to handle from above. Before entering the skull entrance, take a passageway to the left with green vines on the door. Inside, kill crawlers and a spawn pod to receive nukes and speed boosts, along with a treasure chest.

Enter the skull entrance. You'll immediately be in first-person mode and face a horde of undead skeletons. Use your 5-second invincibility to destroy skeleton spawn pods and skeletons. Avoid the spike-trap infested stairway guarded by fireballs until later. Defeat the undead king with the pink crown. Afterward, open all chests and pots, then proceed through the pink gate to the exit portal for round 61. You'll face one final Warden before entering the Mamaback Lair.
