The Golden Spork stands out as one of the most powerful melee weapons in Call of Duty: Black Ops II Zombies. Unlocking this legendary item on the Mob of the Dead map requires players to navigate a multi-step quest that tests their timing, map knowledge, and combat skills. This comprehensive guide details the precise location and step-by-step quest needed to claim this formidable upgrade for your arsenal.
Prerequisites and Unlocking the Silver Spoon
Before attempting the quest for the Golden Spork, players must ensure they have acquired the Hell's Retriever and visited the Golden Gate Bridge at least once. Additionally, crafting the Acid Gat or upgrading it into the Vitriolic Withering is essential for completing the later stages of the quest.
To begin, head to the cellblock near the Warden's Office and locate the cell containing a movie poster. Throw your Hell's Retriever at the poster to knock it down and reveal a secret portal in the wall. Next, enter Afterlife mode, go through the wall opening, and shock the spoon lying on the floor until you hear a demonic laugh.
Retrieving the Spoon from the Cafeteria
Once you have shocked the spoon in Afterlife mode, revive yourself and head directly to the cafeteria. Look through the back barrier toward the left side, where the spoon will now be resting on top of a table.
Throw your Hell's Retriever at the spoon to retrieve it and add it to your inventory. Successfully obtaining the spoon provides a temporary melee weapon upgrade that deals significantly higher damage than the default knife.
Preparing the Bathtub Ritual in the Infirmary
With the Silver Spoon in hand, proceed to the infirmary area near the roof exit. Search for a room containing a lone bathtub filled with blood and interact with it to drop the spoon inside.
After placing the spoon into the bathtub, your next destination is the shower area below. Equipping the Acid Gat or Vitriolic Withering is crucial here, as you must eliminate a large group of zombies within the shower room to power the ritual.
Claiming the Golden Spork Melee Weapon
Defeat roughly 50 to 70 zombies in the showers using your Acid Gat weapon until the Demonic Announcer's laughter rings out. This distinct audio cue confirms that the soul quota has been fulfilled and the upgrade is ready.
Return to the infirmary and interact with the bloody bathtub once more to trigger the final animation. A skeletal hand will emerge holding the glowing item, allowing you to grab the Golden Spork and deliver instant one-hit kills well into the higher rounds.
