Black Ops 7 Zombies - Cursed Mode Relics Tier List

We've compiled and ranked every Relic in Black Ops 7 Zombies Cursed Mode into a definitive tier list! See where your favorite (or worst) Relics rank!

How to Get the Power Switch Relic in Totenreich (Grim Relic #1)

  • The Power Switch Relic randomizes your Tactical and Lethal Equipment each round.
  • You can be on any Round and any Tier of Cursed for this Relic.
  • The trial makes it so you can only kill zombies with the Flammefallen trap.

To get the Power Switch Relic, you're going to need a Combat Axe (acquired from the Crafting Table under Lethal Equipment) and a Sniper Rifle, as you need a scope so you can look at specific things outside the map. We recommend the Shadow SK Wallbuy from Tyr's Shoulder.

There are 4 altars outside the map, and each of them has a set number of deer skulls. You need to aim at the altars, count the deer heads, and remember the location of each altar and the deer heads. For instance, if your Burial Grounds altar has 3 deer heads, then Burial Grounds is number three in your order:

  • Altar #1: Eidskallen Landing. Opposite the Rampage Inducer, towards the southwest by the shore in the distance.
  • Altar #2: Core Foundry/Dry Dock. Face west towards the cliff, close to the War Factory.
  • Altar #3: Tyr's Foot. With your back against Tyr's foot, face northwest to see the altar in the distance.
  • Altar #4: Burial Grounds. Face northeast towards the burial grounds building, and look up to the cliff edge.

Now that you know each area and the number of deer heads for each altar, you can head to the Blodheim Hall. On the south and north walls, there are 4 bear pelts. Each bear pelt represents the location of an altar. Using the image above, throw your Combat Axe at the bear pelts in the order in which your skulls appear, with one skull being the first bear pelt, and four skulls being the fourth bear pelt.

You will now find a green Relic Trial portal between the south bear pelts in Blodheim Hall. The trial is extremely easy, as you have to kill 3 waves of zombies with traps only, with no HVTs. To do this easily, use the trap at Eidskallen Square and Beacon Island; just make sure you have 1,000 Essence for each time you use a trap.

How to Get the Wrestler's Belt Relic in Totenreich (Grim Relic #2)

  • The Wrestler's Belt Relic will randomize the Weapon Wallbuys each round.

How to Get the Stuffed Elephant Relic in Totenreich (Sinister Relic #1)

  • The Stuffed Elephant Relic will increase the Health regen delay.
  • You must be on Tier 1+ and on Round 40+ for this Relic.
  • The trial makes it so you have to find 4 Mr. Peeks eggs and kill 4 HVTs.

Before starting the Stuffed Elephant Relic, you need to know that you cannot have any Perks. This means from Round 1 to Round 40, you can't have a single Perk-a-Cola. That's no Perks from Gums, Machines, T.E.D.D. Trials or Mr. Peeks Eggs. No Perks at all.

The Stuffed Elephant Relic will spawn on Round 40 after you've gone 40 Rounds without having a single Perk. This means you need to start a game from Round 1, and survive to Round 40 without a single Perk from any source (including GobbleGums and Mystery Perks).

For this Relic, we recommend buying Tier 4 Armor, using the Jotunn Star, and camping at the Beacon Island Flamethrower trap and the Lighthouse second floor with Toxic Growth, as you'll be dead in just a few hits if you're not careful.

How to Get the Stuffed Elephant Relic in Totenreich (Sinister Relic #1) (4)

As soon as Round 40 hits, and if you haven't had a single Perk, then you will find the Stuffed Elephant Relic Portal in Fishery Island, behind the building with Jugger-Nog. Once the portal spawns, you can purchase all Perks, which we recommend doing before this trial.

The trial gives you 3 minutes to find 4 Mr. Peeks hidden eggs, but shooting the egg and defeating the HVT inside will reward you with an extra 3 minutes. Thankfully, each egg has a set spawn location:

  • Egg #1: In the Skallen Market, on the windowsill of a white house to the east. This egg spawns a Necropincer HVT.
  • Egg #2: On Storm Bridge, look opposite Deadshot Daquiri to find this egg on Tyr's knee. This egg spawns a Doppelghast HVT.
  • Egg #3: In Dry Dock, in the warehouse where the Mystery Box can spawn, and on the steel beam in the southwest corner. This egg spawns an Amalgam HVT.
  • Egg #4: On Beacon Island, face southwest from the Flammenfalle trap and look up at the lighthouse's ledge. This egg spawns a Zursa Bear HVT.

For the HVTs, we recommend the War Machine to basically instantly kill them. Alternatively, spamming the Pack-a-Punch 4 Mustang & Sally does the trick. You should only focus on the HVTs and ignore the zombies.

How to Get the Dancing Arnie Relic in Totenreich (Sinister Relic #2)

  • The Dancing Arnie Relic ensures that all Perk-a-Cola machines dispense random Perks.
  • You must be on Tier 1+ and on Round 40+ for this Relic.
  • The trial makes it so that zombies only take melee damage.

You must collect these Relic parts before building the Jotunn Star, as you need the Chilly Chunks. We'll explain when you can build the Wonder Weapon.

To begin, you'll need to head to the Skallen Market. There's a stall behind Mule Kick, and you can go prone against a wooden pot to pick up a metal one (tagged in the image above). With the pot in hand, take it to Blodheim Hall and place it on the fire pit opposite Vulture Aid.

You will now need to head to Eidskallen Square, southwest of the boat and antique store, to find a barrel that contains a tankard that you can pick up and place into the pot. Your next item is the Chilly Chunks, which can be picked up from a crate behind a truck on Storm Bridge (right of Deadshot Daiquiri), which can also be placed into the pot.

At this point, you can fire or throw an explosive into the back of the truck to get another Chilly Chunks can, which you can use to get the Jotunn Star.

You now need to kill a Necropincer with the Flammenfalle trap, and once the fire deals the final damage, a red lobster will be dropped, which you can then pick up and place into the pot.

How to Get the Dancing Arnie Relic in Totenreich (Sinister Relic #2) (9)

You will now need to grab a fishing rod from wooden barrels scattered around the map and use it at any of the 11 fishing spots around the map (which we have a guide for here) so you can get the Golden Tide Helmet. On Round 39+ Special Rounds, you can fish on Fishery Island to collect a red fish.

You can now return to Blodheim Hall and place the final cooking item into the pot, which will spawn a dancing Mr. Peeks. You now need to get melee kills with the Jotunn Star around Mr. Peeks, and we believe it to be around 75+. Once he's fed on enough souls, he will leave, and a Relic Trial portal can be found above Pack-a-Punch on Fishery Island.

Make sure you're coming into the trial with a Pack-a-Punch Jotunn Star and Melee Macchiato, as zombies can only take melee damage. We completed the challenge with a Pack-a-Punch IV Jotunn Star, and it was a breeze. Just keep your distance, spam your melee attacks, and watch out for the HVTs on Round 2 and Round 5.

How to Get the Agarthan Device Relic in Totenreich (Wicked Relic #1)

  • The Agarthan Device will spawn different zombie types each round (Acid Zombies, Frost Zombies, Normal Zombies).
  • You must be on Tier 2+ and on Round 15+ for this Relic.
  • The trial makes it so that zombies can only take damage indoors.

You (or a player on your team) must be playing as Richtofen, or else you cannot get this Relic to pop. The last step involves the Richtofen Side Easter Egg.

To start, you will need to collect three different items on the map, and despite being a Wicked Relic, this can be done on any Round. Two of the items are locked behind teleporting in Tyr's Head (the giant robot), so every Round, make sure you're entering Tyr's Shoulder and Tyr's Foot, as you have a random chance to teleport to a secret room.

If you teleport into the room with the bodies of the Requiem crew, you need to rush to the south wall and crouch at the bottom shelf to pick up a helmet. If you teleport into the Liberty Falls hotel room, you need to head to the right side of the bed, go prone, and pick up Mr. Peeks.

Your next task is to acquire an ARC-XD Scorestreak. With one acquired, shoot the vent at the northeast wall of the Core Foundry, and put your ARC-XD through the hole, where you can ride the ramp across to a secret room. Detonate the ARC-XD at the back of the room, and you'll open a secret room to the left of Pack-a-Punch.

Inside the Group 935 Genetic Lab, you can look down the south corridor to find 5 numbers, and two of these numbers have a radiation warning (for example, ours were 1 and 3). You need to translate the numbers into letters (so for us, that's A and C).

Within the Group 935 Genetic Lab, you can find heads in jars, labelled with a letter. Pick up the jar that has your letter, and place it on the machine in front of the cell. After placing down both, you can pick up the purple gas and place it on the north wall creature to get the Necrospike.

You can use the Necrospike on the cell to lockpick it by rotating the Right Stick. Inside the cell, on the bottom left of the bench, you can go prone and pick up the walkie-talkie.

Once you have Mr. Peeks, the Walkie-Talkie, and the Helmet, you can enter the Richtofen Side Easter Egg. Grab Melee Macchiato and the Jotunn Star and smack the barrel in the south area of the Core Foundry. You can then interact with the open lid to pick up a medal.

Once you're inside the side easter egg and you've spoken with Von List, you can interact with the throne to place Mr. Peeks. Now, complete the side easter egg as normal (we've provided a guide above). You can find the Relic Trial portal in the Dry Dock, east of PhD Flopper.

Zombies can only be damaged when you're indoors, and we found this Trial extremely easy with Toxic Growth and a Pack-a-Punch IV Jotunn Star. Head to the second floor of the Lighthouse, place your Toxic Growth, and spam the melee attacks. Even against the HVTs on wave 3 and wave 6, we didn't struggle. Just stay behind Toxic Growth and hit everything!

How to Get the Music Box Relic in Totenreich (Wicked Relic #2)

  • The Music Box Relic means that enemies can only take critical damage (headshots).
  • You must be on Tier 2+ and on Round 60+ for this Relic.
  • The trial makes it so that you need to find a holdout zone and kill zombies within.

You can unlock the Music Box Relic Trial from Round 60. You need to get 5 headshots with a Sniper Rifle from within Tyr's Head. This is actually a lot easier than it sounds! You should grab the Shadow SK Wallbuy weapon from Tyr's Shoulder, and then eat the Temporal Gift GobbleGum and the Kill Joy GobbleGum, which, combined, give you a 60-second Insta-Kill.

Once you have a Sniper Rifle and the two GobbleGums, you can head into Tyr's Shoulder to access Tyr's Head. Now, look towards the Skallen Market with your Sniper Rifle and shoot 5 zombies in the head (it doesn't have to be in a row, but it does have to be before you leave Tyr's Head).

You can now find the Relic Trial portal on the southwest wall of the building opposite Melee Macchiato in the Dry Dock. The trial here is to locate holadout zones and survive inside them. You can find each holdout by looking for the purple light in the sky, but you only have around 25 seconds to get there and interact with Mr. Peeks to begin.

Thankfully, there are no HVTs, but there will be zombies and Necropincers. We completed this challenge with ease thanks to Kazimirs and the Jotunn Star. Our holdouts were in this order: Fishery Island > Tyr's Foot > Dry Dock > Beacon Island > Eidskallen Square > Skallen Market. Each holdout area gets smaller, so watch out!
