The Ashes of the Damned map has plenty of secrets to uncover, and one of them involves solving the Spore Plant Easter Egg in Black Ops 7 Zombies.
You’ll come across this Easter Egg pretty early after you reach Vandorn Farm or Blackwater Lake. Both locations will provide you with the Fumigator, and this quick guide will help you become a gardener (of sorts) in Ashes of the Damned.
How to get the Fumigator in Black Ops 7 Zombies
The Fumigator is a water filtering can that’s required for enriching the Aether Plants. You don’t need to fill water as they seem to have it all on their own. I found my first one at Vandorn Farm, but they’re located in every location.
For your convenience, I have marked the locations of where you can find them on both Blackwater Lake and Vandorn Farm. However, you can also pick them up for the other locations in case you missed them at the earlier locations.
At Vandorn Farm, you can pick it up from two locations: Workshop (near the mystery box) and the first floor of the Barn (near the top-left corner).
At Blackwater Lake, you can get it from the house (left of the main cabin).
Incidentally, you’ll also find a Fumigator from the Janus Towers Plaza location. Look for one by the generator (right beside where you spawn when starting a new round). I had incidentally missed it on my run, but I believe this is the quickest one to pick.
How to complete the Ashes of the Damned Spore Plant Easter Egg
Once you find the Fumigator, the rest of the quest is simple. You’ll come across Spore Plant buds like the one in the screenshot below. Use the Fumigator on them, and the plant will start growing. Its noise will attract the nearby zombies, and they will attack the plant.
You’ll have to defend the plant till its growth phase is complete. Interact with the plant to get rewards and additional Essence. The loot you get will be completely random, but it can prove to be invaluable in surviving the undead.
