Learn how to survive the Call of Duty: WWII Prologue with our comprehensive guide. Discover tips, layout details, and how to access the secret Mystery Box.

The Prologue in Call of Duty: WWII serves as a tutorial for The Final Reich, introducing key concepts of Nazi Zombies. While skippable, it's recommended to play it before the main mission to learn essential mechanics.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin after a story scene and an attack on your trailer.

    A jump scare will introduce a closer zombie encounter.
  4. 4
    Continue to a farmhouse and clear out the zombies outside before entering.

    Inside the farmhouse, purchase the MP-40 from the wall.
  6. 6
    Use the MP-40 to defend against waves of zombies.
  7. 7
    Save up 2,500 Jolts (in-game currency) to open the back door leading to the village.
  8. 8
    The exit door is to the right of the MP-40.
  9. 9
    Clear waves of zombies, camping in a corner if desired, until you accumulate enough Jolts.
Tips
  • The farmhouse layout includes stairs upstairs to the left of the MP-40 and another staircase to the right leading to the kitchen.
  • A room in front of the staircase is useful for surviving later waves.
  • Upstairs, a hallway connects the stairwells with a locked door in the middle.
  • Interactable machines on the first floor include the MP-40 and its ammo.
  • Upstairs on the right, armor can be purchased, and on the left is the Quick Revive machine.
  • Prioritize buying armor when your current set is depleted.
  • To access the secret Mystery Box, shoot ten unlit lanterns scattered around the map. You'll hear a crow sound when you hit one.
  • The ten lanterns are located:
  • After picking up the MP-40, turn 180 degrees. One on a support beam to your left, another on a beam to your right.
  • Facing the MP-40, turn left. Look out the boarded-up window at the bottom of the stairs for one.
  • In the kitchen area, near the bottom of the stairs, one hangs from a beam.
  • Nearby the previous one, look above a small table on the wall.
  • Through a broken window in the kitchen that zombies emerge from.
  • Head up the kitchen stairs. On top of a small desk adjacent to the stairway.
  • To the left of the armor station, sitting on a chair.
  • Near the locked door, further down on the right wall.
  • Above the window at the top of the stairs on the side opposite the kitchen stairs (closer to the MP-40).
  • After shooting all ten lanterns, the Mystery Box door will open.
