Rex Infernus Super Easter Egg: How to Get the Warden Toy

The Warden Toy is the sixth and final collectible in the Black Ops 7 Zombies Super Easter Egg, and it exists only on Rex Infernus. Getting it means one long uninterrupted run: upgrade the grapple hook, open a hidden Toy Box at the top of a parkour course, clear three horse challenges scattered across the floating islands, then trade the results back at Her House. Place it on the shelf with the other five toys and the Boss Rush finale opens.

Quick answer: First turn the Void Claw into the Void Talon. Then use Aether Shroud to access the Toy Box beneath Nyxara’s Passage, complete the three horse challenges, and exchange the items at the toy box in Her House.

Requirements before the Warden Toy quest will trigger

This is the closing act of a chain that spans every round-based map, so the interactions simply will not appear if anything below is missing.

Main quest completions on all six round-based maps: Ashes of the Damned, Astra Malorum, Paradox Junction, Totenreich, Kowakujō and Rex Infernus.
The five earlier Super Easter Egg toys, each one banked by successfully exfilling with it.
The Aether Shroud Field Upgrade, which is the only way to open the Toy Box.
Frenzied Guard, needed for one of the three horse challenges.
The Warden’s Blight Wonder Weapon, Pack-a-Punched, since its charged shot produces the grapple upgrade.

Directed Mode counts for those six original main quests, which is the fastest way to clear any map you are still missing. The toy quests themselves behave differently and should be run in Standard Mode, including this Rex Infernus finale.

The Rex Infernus main quest is the heaviest prerequisite by far. Reigniting the Nexus Forge, solving the Veytharion block puzzle, cleansing all four Shadowsmith temples and beating the Warden all sit in front of this.

Crafting the Warden’s Blight if you skipped it

If you already forged the crossbows during the main quest, jump ahead. If you started a fresh run, the condensed route is short enough to fit around the rest of the setup.

Grapple a floating purple orb into Pack-a-Punch with the Void Claw, then turn the crank wheels to surge the nexus. That lights both braziers with Astral Flame.

In Dravakar Main Chamber, grapple up into the rafters and blow open the northwest wall with PhD Flopper or an explosive to reveal the Fracture of Nyxara. Carry it to the north wall of Nyxara Main Chamber and mount it in the empty slot.

Take an Astral Flame from the Nexus Forge and throw it at the eye door in Nyxara’s Sanctuary. Grapple the wall crystals to bounce the purple beam through the chamber until it strikes the locked south door.

Inside the newly opened room, charge the tree roots with your own health, then eat the fruit to teleport into the forest. This only works from Round 8 onward, one player at a time, with three minutes on the clock.

Loot weapon components from the corpses by the central rock, at the cave entrance and beside the burned cabin. To reach the cabin component, melee the floorboards covering it.

Work out the lever riddle in Dravakar Sanctuary, bring down the central pillar, and grapple your way into the Inner Sanctum. Use Dravakar’s Anvil there to forge the weapon.

Immediately put the crafted Warden’s Blight through Pack-a-Punch. Its upgraded charged shot is the only thing that produces the grapple upgrade later.

Upgrade the Void Claw into the Void Talon

An upgraded grapple is required to pull down the horse toys, and the Eye of the Forge inside Her House provides that upgrade. Begin this early: the process takes four rounds and is completable only during an Exfil round.

Stand at the Nexus Forge and look toward the house on the cliff. A basketball sits in the collapsed roof on the right side. Shoot it so it drops into the pit below.

At the start of each following round, one symbol appears on the face of the house. Wait for all four and write down the exact order they showed up, first to last. The order is randomised every match.

On the next Exfil round, shoot the four symbols in that same order. A correct sequence makes them pulse. A wrong one makes them vanish, and you wait four more rounds plus another Exfil for them to cycle back.

Interact with the Exfil booth and kill the HVT. Instead of leaving the match, you teleport inside Her House.

Go upstairs, face south, and send a charged Warden’s Blight shot into the bathroom. The Eye of the Forge appears there. Collect it, then withstand the Ravagers and Doppelghasts that spawn inside the house.

Once you return to the map, apply the Eye of the Forge to the Grapple Hook station you intend to keep. Its Void Pedestal then permanently changes into the Void Talon.

Open the Toy Box under Nyxara’s Passage

At Nyxara’s Passage, look north beneath the bridge. Grapple the small floating item with the Void Talon, and the entire team will be transported to a parkour course.

Reach the summit before 90 seconds pass. The Toy Box is waiting there, and approaching it causes it to tip over.

Activate the box with Aether Shroud. It opens, releases wisps and spawns the three floating horses back on the main map. Swap to Frenzied Guard before you return.

The three horse toy challenges

Each horse hangs in the air above one of the three island areas. Grapple to it with the Void Claw or Talon, melee it in mid-air, and it drops as a spectral object on the floor. That object stays ghostly until you kill zombies in a specific way, at which point it turns solid and can be picked up.

Area	Item	Charge condition
Araenea Insula	Roller skates	Kills with PhD Flopper
Spira Insula	Shoes	Kills while jumping
Ruinas Insula	Shoelaces	Kills with Frenzied Guard active

Look straight up in each area to spot the horse before you commit to a grapple. For the jumping challenge, spam the jump button through the entire train rather than stopping to line up shots. For Frenzied Guard, pop the Field Upgrade and stay in the horde until the item materialises.

All three must be solid and collected before the trade-in works. There is no partial credit, and the soul boxes sit where they landed until you finish them.

Trade the items and place the Warden Toy

Wait for an Exfil round, but do not touch the Exfil booth. Head to the Nexus Forge instead. A pillar to the right of the house contains a portal back to Her House.

Go through the portal and interact with the toy box outside the house, placing all three items inside. In return, it gives you the Toy Warden.

Go inside and upstairs to the shelf holding the five toys from the other maps, then place the Warden alongside them.

The result is confirmed when the six toys are gathered on the shelf and glowing; this unlocks the Boss Rush encounter. Interact with the display to begin the finale.

During co-op, each player must put the Warden Toy on the shelf before Boss Rush begins. When just one player does so, only that player receives the rewards.

The five-stage Boss Rush and its rewards

A portal drops the team into Vettrunr’s Sepulcher for five back-to-back encounters, run in a fixed order with no breaks between them.

Z-Rex
The Guardian
Demolition Derby, a truck-driving stage where you run zombies down
Caltheris the Needle
The Warden

Surviving all five plays the ending sequence and grants the permanent unlocks: the Warden Operator skin, black-and-purple Zombies crew skins, and the Mister Peeks Mayhem reward tied to Cursed Mode. The on-screen confirmation is direct, with “MISTER PEEKS MAYHEM UNLOCKED” and “SKIN UNLOCKED” both appearing after the Warden goes down.

Because the Warden Toy portion has to be done in one continuous run, plan the order before you load in. Get the symbol sequence started as soon as Pack-a-Punch is live, forge and upgrade the Warden’s Blight while the rounds tick over, and keep the Toy Box and horse challenges for after the grapple is upgraded. Doing it in that order means the only thing you are ever waiting on is the next Exfil round.
