Revelations (map)

"The time has come to join Doctor Monty in The House, where an ancient evil threatens the survival of our heroes' immortal souls..."

- Mission Briefing

Revelations is the twenty-third Zombies map and the final map featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops III. The map takes place within Agartha after the release of the Shadowman from the Summoning Key. In contrast to other maps, the cosmic appearance of Revelations is distinct from other previous maps. The map features recurring gameplay elements such as the Guard of Fafnir and the Ragnarok DG-4s, but introduced new features such as the Corruption Engines and a new type of enemy, the Fury. Furthermore, fragments of past maps such as Shangri-La and Origins feature as structural components of the map.

The Primis crew return for the final time as the playable characters. Enemies such as the Panzersoldat, the Parasites and the Spiders also return.

It was released on September 6th 2016 for the PlayStation 4 and then later released on October 6th 2016 for the Xbox One and PC as part of the Salvation map pack. This was also accessible to Black Ops III Season Pass holders.

Overview
Upon Primis Richtofen summoning the souls of Ultimis Dempsey, Nikolai and Takeo in Gorod Krovi, they are transported into "The House". Just before they arrive, Maxis instructs the children to 'put the toys away' and ensure that 'the windows are locked before [they] come down to the basement'. As each of the souls arrive in "The House", Monty transforms each member of Ultimis into their younger self as a means to restore their innocence.

Upon the arrival of Primis, they bring the Summoning Key along with them, which Maxis is mesmerised by. Primis Richtofen and Maxis destroy the teleporter to prevent any further corruption of the universe. Later, Maxis begins hearing the voice of the Shadowman and is lured down to the basement where the Summoning Key is located. Maxis accidentally released the Shadowman, which trapped him inside the Key. As a consequence, he releases the Apothicons from the Dark Aether and corrupts Monty's 'perfect world'. Primis fights alongside Monty to banish the Apothicons and defeat the Shadowman once and for all.

Easter Eggs

 * The primary Easter Egg quest of the map, For The Good Of All, involves opening the Summoning Key and "completing the cycle".


 * A new easter egg song called The Gift can be activated by finding 3 teddy bears on the map.
 * One is at the entrance to Mob of the Dead from the mound, sitting on a chair to the left of a mysterious surgery patient.
 * The next location is in the theater of Kino der Toten, sitting on a chair in front of the podium.
 * The final location is in the Verrückt portion of the map, it is on a chair at the beginning of the hallway leading to the jump pad.
 * There are multiple radios and wisps: see Revelations (map)/Radios, Wisps and Audio Reels.
 * Several hats and helmets can be either found or unlocked around the map: see Revelations (map)/Hats and Helmets.
 * The table in Nacht der Untoten can be used to trade weapons with other players after completing an easter egg involving the chalk messages found in the maps.
 * If one player completed all other Zombies Main Easter eggs, a spark can be collected in the starting room on the truck. During the Main Easter Egg of Revelations, when the player is able to use the teleporter, the spark can be placed on a custom Mystery Box in Samantha's room. Once they return, the Path of Sorrows can be found as a wall-buy weapon in Shangri-La, and every weapon bought from walls or from the Mystery Box are automatically Pack-a-Punched.
 * There are multiple ciphers hidden throughout the map: see Revelations (map)/Ciphers and Scrap Papers

Trivia

 * The map features many different aspects of previous maps, such as Mob of the Dead and Origins.
 * The maps that make up the various locations in Revelations are Origins, Mob of the Dead, Kino der Toten, Der Eisendrache, Shangri-La, Verrückt, and Nacht der Untoten.
 * Call of the Dead and "Five" are referenced in Radio Messages.
 * The test tubes found in the bunker of Zetsubou No Shima can be seen when entering the Verrückt portion of the map.
 * The round change music is synonymous with where the player's located. For example, if the player is in the Origins trenches, they will hear the Origins round changing theme; if they were in Nacht der Untoten, they would hear the original round changing theme, and so on. This is also the case for when the player dies, as the Game Over music is synonymous with the location the player died in.
 * The round change music in the Verrückt, Kino der Toten, and Shangri-La sections seems to have changed; Instead of using the original round change music, each map gets its own unique music. For example, in Kino der Toten, as the round ends, it reuses the one in Buried, and as the round starts, it reuses the theme used in The Giant and Der Eisendrache with a sound effect of a film projector.
 * Unlike in previous maps, all of the icons relating to the previous Easter Eggs (the Summoning Key for Apocalypse Averted, and the Gateworms for Paradoxical Prologue, My Brother's Keeper, Seeds of Doubt, and Love and War) will appear on the map selection screen.
 * The zombie's eye color are red, much like Mob of the Dead and Gorod Krovi.
 * According to some audio quotes, the GKZ-45 Mk3 was originally supposed to be in the map.
 * The Demonic Announcers were originally supposed to be either Dr. Monty or the Shadowman, possibly depending on the players' choice, but this was cut from the final version of the map, as seen in this video.
 * Also found in the video as well as one of the Revelations trailers was the Rocket Shield from Shadows of Evil and Der Eisendrache, but it was replaced with the Guard of Fafnir.
