Black Ops 6: Liberty Falls Easter Egg Walkthrough
The Liberty Falls main Easter egg in Black Ops 6 Zombies is the âBye-Bye, Dark Aetherâ quest. This walkthrough follows the real route: reach the church, acquire the Thrustodyne M23, build the LTG, charge two Aether Canisters and survive the final encounter. It works as a checklist for Standard play; Directed Mode can present the objectives in a different order.
You can complete the quest solo or with a squad. Open the route to the church early, then spend Essence and Salvage on a weapon, armor and perks before the portal defenses. The final fight takes place in the church, so finish your upgrades before activating it.
What Is the BO6 Liberty Falls Easter Egg?
The main quest starts at the SDG Generator inside the church, next to the Pack-a-Punch machine. Interact with the device and listen to Panos. From there, you need the Jet Gun to retrieve LTG parts, then use the LTG and Aether traps to capture the energy of two named enemies. Inserting both charged canisters into the church machine opens the final encounter.
Standard and Directed Mode both allow completion, but their prompts and order may differ. This guide describes the Standard route and names each location so you can follow the map instead of hunting for nonexistent rooms or switches.

Preparation Checklist
- Open a path from the starting area to the church; the Pack-a-Punch is inside. Liberty Falls has no two-fuse power puzzle.
- Bring a weapon you can upgrade, armor and survival perks. Jugger-Nog and a self-revive are useful before the final fight.
- Keep some Essence and Salvage for Pack-a-Punch, rarity upgrades, ammo and equipment. Decoys help when carrying a canister or working the water valve.
- In co-op, share door costs and agree who will operate the valve while teammates cover the zombies. Solo players can pull the horde away between attempts.

Liberty Falls Main Quest Walkthrough
1. Reach the Church and Activate the SDG Generator
Follow either street route from the starting area to the church. The Pack-a-Punch is already inside; there are no Train Station fuse switches to turn on. Interact with the large SDG Generator on the right side of the church and wait for Panos to speak.
2. Build the Thrustodyne M23 Jet Gun
You need three parts, not a pressure regulator, chassis, rotor or coil:
- Water Pressure Gauge: Take the Water Valve outside Lilyâs Flowerpot on Washington Avenue. At Fullerâs Liberty Lanes, break the panel beside the bowling lanes, install the valve and hold the interaction to fill the pressure meter. Pick up the gauge when it drops.
- Handbrake: Defeat the Groundskeeper zombie in the cemetery, collect his Toolshed Key and open the shed in Groundskeeperâs Yard.
- Electrical Wires: Use a Mangler Cannon or a Manglerâs shot to break the gate of Radio House on Riverside. Search the piles inside for the wires.
Return to the motel near the starting area. Zombies burst out of an upstairs room; its workbench lets you build the Jet Gun. A Jet Gun from the Mystery Box can also serve the quest, but crafting avoids relying on a random pull.
3. Collect and Build the LTG
Use the Jet Gunâs suction to pull the three floating LTG parts from the broken ceiling in Ollyâs Comics, the window of Buzzâs Cuts above the white truck on Washington Avenue, and the balcony inside the church. Interact with the SDG Generator again, then build the LTG at the workbench on the rooftop reached by zipline. The LTG is placed at a storm portal; it is not a wearable backpack.
4. Charge the First Aether Canister
Take an Aether Canister from the church machine and place it by a Dark Aether Field Generator trap. Carry the LTG to the storm cloud in the cemetery or Riverside and activate the portal. Defend it until a named Mangler or Abomination appears. Do not kill the named enemy immediately. Weaken it until it glows purple, lure it into the prepared trap and activate the trap to draw its energy into the canister. Carry the charged canister back to the SDG Generator promptly.
5. Set the Strauss Counter Projectors
After inserting the first charged canister, take the Strauss Counter from the church machine. Find the three projectors at Hilltop Stairs near the church, Groundskeeperâs Yard by the shed and the lower Yummy Freeze rooftop reached from the Alamo roof. For each projector, hold up the Counter and set the light to the opposite color for red or green; if the Counter is yellow, set yellow. The reading can differ between runs. When all three are correct, the second canister opens near the starting area.
6. Charge the Second Canister
Pick up the LTG from the first portal and take it to the other storm cloud. Put the new canister inside the nearby Dark Aether trapâs area before starting the defense. Protect the portal, then weaken the named enemy it spawns until it glows purple. Lure it into the activated trap, collect the charged canister and return it to the church. There is no Cemetery Catacombs, blackout escort, spectral projector room or second crypt defense in this quest.
7. Survive the Church Encounter
After inserting the second charged canister, do not interact with the SDG Generator again until your team is ready. Top up armor and ammo, upgrade your main weapon and buy perks. The final interaction traps you in the church for waves of zombies and elite enemies. Keep moving, clear the elites and watch your armor. The ending cutscene follows the final wave; there is no separate elemental boss in a Train Station or an explorable Dark Aether zone.

Easter Egg Rewards
Completing the Liberty Falls main quest unlocks the Bye-Bye, Dark Aether achievement or trophy and completion cosmetics, including a calling card and the PJ-SRU Ray Gun skin in Standard Mode. The special early-completion calling card was a time-limited launch reward and is no longer earnable through a new completion.
The old claims about a solo-only Fallen Sentinel Operator skin, permanent Tier IV schematics and Zombie Codex chapters are not quest rewards. The story ending and optional in-match rewards are separate from permanent unlocks.
Bonus Tips & Strategies
- Use a quiet round for setup: Leave one zombie alive while finding parts or moving a canister, then finish the round when ready.
- Protect the portal: Zombies damage an active LTG portal; if a defense fails, wait for the next round and retry.
- Keep the named enemy alive: The trap must capture its energy. Killing it early means repeating the portal step.
- Prepare before the last interaction: The final encounter locks you in the church. Bring armor, perks, a Pack-a-Punched weapon and a way to distract a horde.
- Use the right route: Rooftops, the church, Radio House, Liberty Lanes and the cemetery are the actual landmarks. Ignore instructions for a library, pharmacy, train station or sewer lab.
Recommended Loadout
There is no required Kilo 141, explosive shotgun or Ring of Fire for the main quest. Use a weapon you handle well, upgrade its rarity and Pack-a-Punch level, then add armor and perks before the final fight. The Jet Gun is required for collecting LTG parts but does not replace a reliable weapon for the church defense.
Useful preparation: Jugger-Nog improves survivability; a self-revive provides a second chance in solo play; Decoys or Monkey Bombs can create space when zombies crowd an objective. In a squad, a support Field Upgrade such as Healing Aura can help recover from mistakes. Save enough resources for ammo during the final waves.

Conclusion
The Liberty Falls main quest is a sequence of map interactions, not a fight through hidden catacombs. Build or obtain the Jet Gun, collect the LTG parts, defend both portals, capture each named enemy in an Aether trap, set the Strauss Counter projectors and return both canisters to the church. Gear up before triggering the final encounter.
