Record A Black Ops II Super Easter Egg Clearly
Separate tower progress, final activation, full-route timing, and a Buried Finale result in your Atlas history.
Atlas gives the Richtofen and Maxis Super Easter Egg paths their own entries. These are multi-map quest records, so treating them exactly like a single-map survival run can produce confusing totals and misleading times. This guide explains the tracker’s categories; it is not a replacement for an in-game walkthrough.
Choose The Path You Actually Completed
The tracker separates Richtofen’s side and Maxis’s side. Within each, the progress checklist tracks TranZit, Die Rise, Buried, and final completion. Record the actual path rather than merging unrelated milestones from different sides into one apparent finished route.
If you remember a tower completion but cannot reconstruct a particular run, the checklist can preserve that history. If you have a specific attempt to record, add a run with the appropriate quest entry and timing category. Do not invent a time just to make a progress checkbox look like a competitive result.
Full Super EE And Buried Finale Start Differently
Atlas defines Full Super EE as the three same-side tower quests plus the final Buried activation, starting without completed prerequisites. Record the total elapsed time across maps under the timing convention you actually used.
Buried Finale means only the final activation sequence in Buried, with the three same-side tower quests already completed. It excludes the prerequisite time. A short finale time should therefore never be compared directly with a full-route time, even when the side and party size match.
Keep A Route Record, Not Just A Final Number
Before a full-route attempt, agree with the crew how you will record transitions and interruptions. Preserve enough notes or evidence to explain when timing began and ended. If you intend to use an external competitive category, check its rules before the attempt; Atlas’s descriptive fields do not establish another organization’s verification policy.
A practical planning sheet has one line for each map checkpoint and a separate line for final activation. Record who is responsible for checking the next prerequisite. If something goes wrong, this gives you a place to identify the break in the sequence without rewriting the entire session from memory.
Understand The Totals
A Super Easter Egg entry can add a distinct completed quest, but it is not an additional physical map. Completing a finale is not a reason to claim that a new map was played. Keep the underlying map runs separate when you actually logged those sessions.
Public group totals use group run records. A manual checklist alone does not publish a group clear. When you want a crew accomplishment represented publicly, log the accurate shared group record and choose the correct quest category. The same shared attempt is counted once, not once per participant confirmation.
Correct Mistakes Without Losing The Story
If a finale was accidentally saved as a full route, edit its timing category and review the resulting filters. If the side was wrong, correct the quest entry. Do not add a second contradictory record solely to make a total look right.
Run-backed completion is derived from the remaining records, while manual historical checklist progress is stored separately. After editing or deleting a run, inspect both. An older manually checked milestone can remain because it represents a separate statement about your history, not a promise that the deleted run still exists.
