How To Find The Pack-A-Punch Machine & The Dark Aether Nexus — COD BO6 Zombies The Tomb

You’ll start off in the middle of the Digsite, and will be tasked to “Open the Doorway to Nowhere.” The first step is to complete three rounds and collect 2250 Essence. Head to the Northern Top of the Digsite. To the left of the Roman Mausoleum, you’ll find the first red door.
The Tombs Area — Death Perception & Mystery Box Location
Opening the Northern Red Door at the Digsite next to the Roman Mausoleum gives you access to The Tombs. Pick your poison. As you enter the Tombs, you’ll find Death Perception on the left wall and the Mystery Box on the right wall.
Opposite to Death Perception, make your way to the Eastern part of the Tombs. Here, you’ll spot a mural and a Statue known as the Ancient. Interact with it to offer it the Green Gem. You need to dig out three Green Gems and offer them to the Ancient Statue. A purple tear will appear and three Doppelghasts will spawn. Coincidentally, a Shock Mimic will spawn by Round 8 which drops a key item known as a Monocle which probably belongs to Sir Archibald.
Shrine of Hierophants Area — Stamin Up Location
As you head deeper into the Tomb and navigate down the stairs, you’ll find yourself at the Shrine of the Hierophants. In the left corner of the Shrine of the Hierophants, you’ll find the Stamin Up Vending Machine.
Subterranean Temple — Doorway to Nowhere Location
Make your way right and open the red door to access the Subterranean Temple. Continue right, and you’ll come across a purple glowing crystal. Interact with the Glowing Crystal to open a Red Portal to open the Doorway to Nowhere. Enter the Red Portal, and you’ll be transported to the Dark Aether Nexus.
