Mob of the Dead Easter Egg - All Steps for Pop Goes the Weasel

Posted in black ops 2

This is the full step by step tutorial for unlocking the Pop Goes the Weasel Easter Egg for Mob of the Dead. We're going to cover using the electric chairs, refuelling the plane, finding the blue skulls and finding the spoons. All locations are included.

As with most zombies Easter Eggs this is a bit of a mission with 12 steps required. Average time to complete easter egg is about an 2 hours.

Important: The Easter Egg requires 2-4 players and one you must be weasel.

Step 1- Obtain Hell's Retriever (flaming tomahawks)



These are obtained by feeding the dogs (The Beast) in all 3 locations.

Step 2 - Build plane and fly to Golden Gate Bridge



Parts are scattered throughout the island and the plane is built on the roof. Once built, players should fly off the ramp and over to the bridge.

Step 3 - Returning to the island



Use the electric chairs on the bridge to return to the island (spawn point).

Important: You need to return to the island step 3 times otherwise the later EE steps will not be available.

Step 4 - Getting the blue skulls



Mob of the Dead - Easter Egg 4

The blue skulls are identified in afterlife by their bright blue appearance. There are 5 skulls that need to be collected using Hells Retriever. Skull locations are:

  • 1. Through second door of Olympia room, directly opposite in cell.
  • 2. Lamppost, outside wardens office. Look through window in far room in the corner. Identifiable by sparks.
  • 3. Docks, near the Tower Trap. Look across the water on the wooden post.
  • 4. Building across from the roof. Go to left hand side of ramp if looking in direction of take-off.
  • 5. Near Jug perk. Face Jug, turn around and look up the hillside towards the lamppost.


Step 5 - Removing movie poster from cell



The movie poster has a green background and red writing. It is located near the wardens office in one of the cells. Just throw the tomahawk to collect.

Free Blunder Gat reward



Completing the above steps will give you a free Blunder Gat (wonder weapon). This is found in the Wardens Office on the desk.

Step 6 - Removing the spoon



The movie poster you removed earlier reveals a hole in the wall and a hidden spoon. Historically, an escape attempt was made using spoons so there's the tie in. To remove the spoon, head up to the Electric Cherry level and find the hold in the wall (through a metal gate/mesh).

Enter afterlife and go through the hole to remove the spoon on the floor. If successful, you'll hear another of the mystery box noise (zombie laughing).

Step 7 - Collect 2nd Spoon



The 2nd spoon is located in the cafeteria (room with Claymore and acid trap). It's through the far window on the table with 3 levels. Use the tomahawk to collect the spoon.

Step 8 - Changing Number Panel

If you head to the number panel (spiral staircase) you'll see that the number panel is spinning wildly. You need to set the numbers according to the prisoner numbers, this is done in afterlife:

e.g. 872, 101, 386, 481

If successful, the numbers will disappear and you will hear the following quote

"So you want to know the truth"

..a new audio scene will play telling the story about a guard called Stanley Fergusson

Step 9 - Hit spoon in bath tub



In the Infirmary there's a bath tub full of blood with a spoon floating in it. Throw the tomahawk and you'll hear a quote and the spoon will spin around.

You should have a spoon as your melee weapon now.

Step 10 - Pick up the head phones



Scattered around the map there are several head phones that play further cut scene/audio. The headphones look like power ups (bright green/white colour).

Locations are:

  • Spiral staircase leading upstairs from tunnel
  • First room of lower ground level from outside Wardens Office
  • First level of cell blocks, opposite end of Wardens Office block
  • Infirmary
  • Roof

Step 11 - Refuelling plane and flying again



If you've successfully made it to the bridge and back again, you'll notice that the plane parts are removed from your inventory. They've been replaced by 5 fuel cans.

The plane will spawn in again and also 5 fuel cans will spawn.

Fuel can locations are:

  • Docks
  • Near number panel
  • Laundry room
  • Infirmary near beast
  • Cell blocks


Bring those cans to the roof and refuel the new plane.

Step 12 - Completing the Easter Egg

The final step of the easter egg requires all players to enter the afterlife. Notice that none of the players will have a countdown time while in purgatory.

Now head to the roof and stand behind the plane and press X. You should all ride the plane off the ramp and back onto the bridge.

When you arrive at the bridge, revive yourself from the Electric Chair. Fight off the Boss Zombies using the tomahawk for maximum effectiveness.

You will then fight against one of your own group - Weasel (the traitor).

Congratulations - Pop Goes the Weasel achievement unlocked!!
