Call of Duty®: Infinite Warfare „Rave in the Redwoods“ Easter Egg Guide

Open the door at the spawn that leads you to the amphitheater. Then continue on the adventure course and jump over the gap on the bridge to reach the archery range. After that, open the door to the old mine. Follow the path to the basement until you see a zombie in a wooden wheel in the corner.

There is the power switch that can be activated.

To reach Turtle Isle, you need to find three boat parts. They are located in the following places:

  • Dining Hall: Next to the middle pillar by the trash can.
  • Lodge: Go to the second floor by the power switch and cross the balcony to reach the adjacent room. The next part is on the right wall.
  • Recreation Room: Look at the white fabric booth near the central rave statue.

Collect these parts and head to the lake to find a broken ship at the boathouse. Place all the parts to repair it. Then interact with the boat, and you will reach the island.

To activate the PaP (Pack-a-Punch), two film reels must be found. The PaP is ESSENTIAL for the final battle.

The first film reel is located right by the boathouse where we traveled to the island. The second reel is on the island in the building on the hill. Near the bonfire, you will find an old washing machine. The film reel is on the floor.

The film reels must now be inserted into a projector. This is located in the building on the island. Insert them, and the portal to the room with the PaP will open.

Return to the Turtle Island cabin and interact with the Boom Box to start a quest for Kevin Smith. The celebrity guest is above the room, just look up to see him. He is in the room with the fireplace.

Using the Boom Box will start the photo scrap collection quest.
Note: If you fail a photo ritual, a nuke will go off and you will lose a perk.

  • Photo Scrap 1:
    • Recreation Area – Go behind the giant neon statue and look on the walkway to find this scrap.
    • Ritual: Adventure Course – Bring the scrap to the Adventure Course. Near the bonfire, there’s a white plastic chair next to a tree — look on the ground and place the photo scrap to begin the ritual.
  • Ritual Stage 1:
    • Shoot the arms of the infinite horde of zombies to collect their souls. Only arm shots will work!
  • Ritual Stage 2:
    • Inspect the blue light after successfully completing the ritual. This will cause a Slasher to spawn — this is not the Rave Mode Slasher, so watch out! He’s faster and stronger than normal.
  • Ritual Stage 3:
    • After defeating the Slasher, you can collect the cleansed photo part and return to the Boom Box on Turtle Island to get the next photo scrap.
  • Photo Scrap 2:
    • Spawn Lodge – Room with the Tuff Nuff perk machine on the second floor, across from the exterior balcony.
    • Ritual: Recreation Area – Place the scrap on the ritual circle near the white booth and the central obstruction in front of the stage.
  • Ritual Stage 1:
    • Once again, an infinite army of zombies will spawn. This time, aim for the legs instead of the arms.
  • Ritual Stage 2:
    • Interact with the blue light to summon a Slasher in Normal Mode (outside Rave Mode). Defeat him to complete this stage.
  • Ritual Stage 3:
    • Collect the cleansed photo scrap and return to the Boom Box on Turtle Island.
  • Skull (Quest Item 3):
    • Spawn, Power Room – In the Power Room, collect the skull from the pile of bones near the Magic Wheel.
    • Ritual: Bear Lake – Place the skull on the ritual site on the beach near the Slappy Taffy machine.
  • Ritual Stage 1:
    • Just like before, except this time you’ll need headshots to collect the souls near the ritual circle.
  • Ritual Stage 2:
    • Interact with the blue light, defeat the Slasher that spawns — exactly like before.
  • Ritual Stage 3:
    • Grab the blue light and prepare for the boss fight.

This is a shorter Easter egg than most, and the boss battle becomes available after you complete the photo scrap rituals. Once all three are completed, the wall-mounted lights in the Power Room basement will activate. Prepare well before going in — upgrade the Vlad Crossbow to obtain a particularly powerful Wonder Weapon.

Preparation:
Go to the Power Room and look at the wall opposite the Magic Wheel. Depending on the number of players, you need to activate 1-4 of these lights simultaneously.

How to Reach the Boss:
Once all the lights are activated, return to the boat at the boathouse at Bear Lake. Kevin Smith is now sitting in the boat — when all players interact with the boat at the exact same time, you’ll hop in and head to the boss fight.

Begin the Battle:
Ride the boat back to Turtle Island to encounter the final boss — a giant, mutant Slasher. The fight is essentially divided into four stages that repeat three times.

The battle begins with swarms of zombies spawning everywhere while the Slasher jumps away, leaving you alone for now.

NOTE: YOU DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT AMMO. A MAX AMMO WILL REGULARLY SPAWN AT THE STAIRS IN THE CABIN.

There are ritual circles and glowing blue lights all over Turtle Island beach. Kill zombies near the Soul Containers until they rise high into the sky and emit bright beams of light. Continue to get kills — you’ll see the souls fly toward the blue lights.

The Slasher will drop down and attack. Don’t shoot it yet — this is all about dealing with the zombies for now. You can’t hurt the Slasher at this stage.

To hurt the Slasher, lead it into one of the ritual circles with a strange pattern around the edge. Wait until the Slasher stands and ground-pounds into that spot, trapping itself. While trapped, the circle will change from blue to orange, and an orange spot will appear on the Slasher. Shoot that spot to actually damage the boss.

Next, you’ll leave Rave Mode and fight the Slasher while zombies continue to spawn on the beach. To damage the Slasher, target the parts of his body where neon ritual symbols appear. Those are the weak points — focus your fire where the glowing patterns appear.

Eventually, the neon ritual symbols will switch to different sections of the Slasher’s body.

WARNING — When the Slasher jumps onto the cabin rooftop, dash into one of the green circles that appear on the beach.
The Slasher will summon an instant-kill attack. If you’re not inside a green circle, you’ll die. This attack lasts a while, and zombies will continue to attack, so be prepared and don’t leave the circle until the attack stops.

The skeletons are tougher and more powerful than standard zombies.

After completing all three steps, you’ll move on to the next stage. There are three stages in total, with small twists on the formula as you progress. Instead of going through every phase (because the fundamental phases are all identical), we’ll explain how each stage adds new challenges to the battle.

Stage Changes:

  • Stage 2:
    • Elemental walls appear on the beach to block certain paths, forcing you to take longer routes around the area. The elemental walls disappear after Phase 1.
  • Stage 3:
    • Even more elemental walls appear on the beach.

After dealing enough damage in Stage 3 – Phase 2, the Slasher will be highlighted, indicating that you can now fire at will. Keep unloading bullets into the Slasher to finally defeat him. There’s nothing more complicated here. Just keep shooting and shooting — he soaks up a ton of damage.

Once you’ve defeated him, you have successfully completed the Easter egg!
