The Main Quest or Map Easter Egg or Main Easter Egg are a type of Easter Egg that has become extremely common in most major Zombies maps across the series. They function as an objective to the map with a multitude of steps that are decoded by the community.
Main Easter Eggs often tell significant parts of the story, and completing them often provides rewards such as a cutscene, XP, and an Achievement/Trophy. Main Easter eggs make a significant contribution to the replayability of the map, as players often enjoy completing them more than once.
Several Main Easter Eggs require completing previous easter eggs. Examples include Richtofen's and Maxis' Endgame requiring all Polarization Devices activated via Easter Eggs in favor of one of the sides, and A Better Tomorrow requiring completing previous Easter Egg to obtain the Summoning Key and all four Gateworms.
