BO6 Zombies Treasure Hunter achievement walkthrough (Find the final Talisman)

Unravel the mystery of the Cursed Talisman, a powerful artifact that bestows a 30 percent point increase and extra health for the duration of the match. To obtain this enigmatic item, you must seek out Captain Gregg, a mysterious figure who will guide you on a captivating object-finding mission.

First, you must obtain the Melee Macchiato Perk-a-Cola in the Bio Lab (F4 coordinates lower level). Use this perk to open a hidden area near the Speed Cola. Head to the E5 coordinates on the left side of the Sea Caves.

Punch the terrain there with Melee Macchaiato to uncover a treasure map.

Captain Gregg Watch location

Take a look at the treasure map and place a Ping on the location with a red ‘X.’ This destination varies with each playthrough, so just use the map as a guide. Use a boat from the docks or Bio Lab to move over to one of the many islands. Search for a golden item in the water where your red ‘X’ was, and swim down to grab it.

Return to the Sea Caves and press the Interact (Reload) button near the treasure map. Now that you’ve returned the watch to Captain Gregg, you’ll mark three more spots on the map. This time, the locations are the same for every match, but you’ll need to prepare beforehand. I recommend Pack-a-Punching your weapon to Tier 1 at the very least, as you must face off against three Elite Manglers. It’s also crucial to have three Molotov cocktails with you.

You’ll unlock Molotovs in your Loadouts and the Crafting Table at Level 32. But if you were like me and had to restart your rank with Prestige, it’ll take a while to get to this stage. In this case, I suggest simply shooting zombies or digging piles with the shovel for a possible Molotov drop. After taking down a zombie, I found a cocktail and then discovered the others while fighting the Manglers.

Based on the treasure map, you must explore Castle Rock Island, Temple Island, and the Shipwreck. There isn’t a wrong order to do this, but we’ll start with Castle Rock Island.

Castle Rock Island

At H4 coordinates, you’ll find an island on the Terminus map’s right side.

Locate a pile of bones near a light on the ground. Throw your Molotov at it to trigger the appearance of an Elite Mangler.

Eliminate the Mangler and pick up your first Cursed Coin. Then, give it to Captain Gregg at the treasure map area (press Interact while there). You must repeat this process two more times with the following Cursed Coins.

Temple Island

Go to the D3 coordinates to reach Temple Island, on the top-left corner of the map.

To the left of the ammo cache, throw your Molotov at the pile of bones on the ground (near some stairs).

Shipwreck location

Lastly, go to the Shipwreck at C6 coordinates.

Go to the center of the vessel to find the last skeleton chilling by a pole.

After you’ve defeated the Manglers and returned the Cursed Coins, Captain Gregg will provide you with three Legendary rarity weapons. Use these tools to complete the last step for the BO6 Zombies’ Treasure Hunter.

How to unlock and use the Cursed Talisman in BO6 Zombies

If you look at the treasure map again, you’ll see a new spot on the map. It’ll take you over to Crab Island at the E7 coordinates. You must last three rounds while on this island, so make sure to come prepared for a fight.

Moving around will be challenging since it’s a reasonably small area, making it easier for the zombies to get you. I swam in the water when things got too hectic, and it didn’t seem to disrupt my progress on the island. After the three rounds, a golden chest will spawn to reward you with the Cursed Talisman.

Pick up the Talisman, which will be placed on your character’s build immediately after. If you don’t grab the talisman quickly, the crate will despawn after a while. I learned that the hard way, but fortunately, it does spawn back after a few rounds (stay on Crab Island). In return, you’ll now gain double the points and bonus health. However, those who get hit with the item on will lose points. It’s called a Cursed Talisman for a reason, so be mindful of this setback.
