Let me tell you something, fellow zombie slayers – when I first stumbled upon the Ghost Twins easter egg in Black Ops 7’s Ashes of the Damned map, I was completely creeped out but also super excited. This hidden side quest is one of those secrets that makes me love Zombies mode so much. It’s not just about shooting zombies anymore; it’s about uncovering these mysterious, spine-tingling stories tucked away in the map.
I’ve spent countless hours running around Ashes of the Damned, and let me tell you, the Ghost Twins easter egg is one of the most rewarding side activities you can do. Not only do you get some cool lore and a genuinely creepy experience, but you also walk away with a FREE Wisp Tea perk – and who doesn’t love free stuff in Zombies, right?
What You’ll Get from the Ghost Twins Easter Egg?
Before I dive into the step-by-step guide, let me tell you exactly what you’re working toward here. When I completed this easter egg for the first time, I was pretty stoked about the rewards:
- Free Wisp Tea Perk: This is the big one, folks. A completely free perk that won’t even increase the cost of your next purchased perk
- Essence: You’ll get some sweet essence drops when the twins disappear
- Additional Loot Opportunities: The twins can appear randomly around Vandorn Farm after you complete the easter egg, giving you more chances for free stuff
The Wisp Tea perk is actually pretty awesome for the main easter egg quest too, so completing this side quest first can make your life easier later on. Trust me, I learned this the hard way after struggling through the main quest without it!
Prerequisites: What You Need Before Starting?
Look, I’m not gonna lie – this easter egg isn’t super complicated, but you do need to have a few things sorted out before you can begin. Here’s what I recommend having ready:
- Power Activated: You need to have the power turned on, which means clearing the infestation from the Power Pump and flipping the switch in the Barn
- Access to Vandorn Farm: Make sure you can get to the Farmhouse and Barn areas
- Some Essence: You might need to open a few doors, so having a bit of essence saved up helps
- Patience: Sometimes the interactions can be finicky, so don’t get frustrated if it doesn’t work on the first try
When I first attempted this, I tried to do it right at the start of the game, but I quickly realized I needed to get the power on first. Learn from my mistake – get those basic setup tasks done first!
Step-by-Step Ghost Twins Easter Egg Walkthrough
Alright, let’s get into the meat and potatoes of this guide. I’ve broken this down into the exact steps I follow every time I do this easter egg. Pay attention, because missing even one step can mean starting over (trust me, I’ve been there).
Step 1: Power Up and Head to Vandorn Farm
First things first, you need to get your butt over to Vandorn Farm. But before you can even think about ghost twins, you need to deal with the power situation. Here’s what I do:
- Clear the Power Pump Infestation: Head to the Power Pump (you can’t miss it – it’s the thing covered in that nasty purple gunk)
- Shoot Fast: You’ve got 30 seconds to shoot down all the infestations. I recommend using a weapon with good fire rate like an SMG or assault rifle
- Flip the Switch: Once the infestation is clear, head inside the Barn and flip the power switch
I remember my first time trying this – I was taking my sweet time shooting the infestations and ran out of time. Don’t be like me! Shoot fast and shoot accurate.
Step 2: The Flickering TV in the Farmhouse
Now that the power’s on, make your way to the Farmhouse. You’ll want to head upstairs where you’ll find something that immediately caught my attention – a flickering TV sitting by some bunk beds. This is where the real fun begins.
Here’s exactly what you need to do:
- Approach the TV: Get right up close to the flickering television
- Hold the Interaction Button: This is usually the reload button (R on PlayStation, RB on Xbox)
- Listen for the Sound: Each time you interact, you’ll hear a sound like you’re changing channels
- Keep Interacting: Do this 6-7 times until you see the twins appear on screen
When I first saw those twins appear on the screen, I’ll admit it gave me a bit of a jump scare. There’s something about those ghostly children holding hands that’s just unsettling in the best way possible.
Step 3: Separate the Twins
This is where things get interesting. You need to interact with the TV until only one twin remains on screen. Here’s how I do it:
- Continue Interacting: Keep holding that interaction button
- Watch Carefully: Pay attention to the screen – you’ll see the twins separate
- Stop When Alone: Once only one twin is visible, you can stop interacting
This part can be a bit tricky because the changes can be subtle. I’ve found that sometimes you need to interact a few extra times to make sure you’ve got it right. Don’t rush this step – take your time and make sure you see only one twin before moving on.
Step 4: Find the Ghost Drawing in the Barn Cellar
Alright, now you need to head to the Barn’s cellar area. This part took me a minute to find the first time, so let me be specific about where to look:
- Go to the Barn Cellar: Head down into the cellar area of the Barn
- Check the South Wall: Look specifically at the south wall of the cellar
- Find the Ghost Drawing: You’ll see a ghost drawing on the floor – it’s pretty hard to miss once you know where to look
- Approach the Spirit: Get close to the ghost drawing and it will disappear
I remember running around the cellar like a headless chicken my first time, not realizing I needed to look specifically at the south wall. Save yourself the trouble and go straight there!
Step 5: Reunite the Twins on the TV
Now it’s time to head back to the Farmhouse and that creepy TV again. This time, you’re working to reunite the twins:
- Return to the TV: Head back upstairs to the flickering television
- Interact Again: Start holding that interaction button
- Watch for Reunion: You’ll see the twins appear back on screen, this time reunited
- Wait for Static: Keep interacting until the TV goes to static
This part feels like you’re helping these ghost kids find each other again, which is actually kind of touching once you get past the creepiness factor. I found myself getting oddly invested in their little story.
Step 6: Make the Twins Disappear
We’re in the home stretch now! The final TV interaction:
- Continue Interacting: With the TV showing static, keep interacting
- Watch Them Vanish: Eventually, both twins will disappear from the screen completely
- Confirm They’re Gone: Make sure you don’t see any twins on the screen before moving to the final step
I’ve had times where I thought they were gone but one was still barely visible. Double-check this step or you might have to start over!
Step 7: Find the Twins Near the Silo
This is it – the moment of truth! Head to the northwest corner of Vandorn Farm, specifically near the Silo (close to where you found the Power Pump earlier):
- Locate the Twins: You’ll see the ghost twins hovering near the Silo area
- Approach Them: Walk right up to the twins
- Collect Your Rewards: They’ll disappear, leaving behind Essence and your free Wisp Tea perk
When I first completed this and saw that Wisp Tea perk drop, I was honestly thrilled. There’s something so satisfying about getting a free perk in Zombies mode, especially one as useful as Wisp Tea.
Understanding the Wisp Tea Perk
Since this easter egg rewards you with a Wisp Tea perk, let me break down why this is actually such a big deal. I’ve found that a lot of players don’t fully understand how awesome this perk is:
What Wisp Tea Does:
- Summons a protective ethereal creature that stays near you
- The wisp appears after you deal significant damage to enemies
- Provides additional protection and can help in tight situations
- Can be customized through the Augment system with different spirit types
Why It’s Great for the Main Easter Egg:
- The protective wisp can help you survive longer during tough sections
- It’s essentially free protection that doesn’t cost you essence
- Having this perk can make some of the more challenging parts of the main quest more manageable
I’ve noticed that since I started doing this easter egg first, my success rate with the main quest has definitely improved. Every little bit helps in Ashes of the Damned, trust me.

FAQ
How long does the Ghost Twins easter egg take to complete?
From my experience, you can knock this out in about 5-10 minutes once you know what you’re doing. The first time might take a bit longer as you get familiar with the locations, but it’s definitely one of the quicker easter eggs in the game.
Can I complete this easter egg solo?
Absolutely! I’ve done this multiple times solo, and it’s actually designed to be completed by a single player. You don’t need any teammates to help you with the interactions or anything like that.
Do I need to complete the main easter egg first?
Nope! In fact, I recommend doing this one first since the Wisp Tea perk can help you with the main quest. You just need to have the power turned on, which is a basic early-game task anyway.
What happens if I go down after getting the Wisp Tea perk?
Unfortunately, you’ll lose the perk if you go down, just like with any other perk. That’s why I always try to be extra careful once I have it – it’s too valuable to lose carelessly!
Can I do this easter egg multiple times in the same game?
You can only complete the main sequence once per game, but after you complete it, the twins can appear randomly around Vandorn Farm for additional loot drops. I’ve seen them pop up 3-4 times in a single game before!
Is the Wisp Tea perk worth it compared to other perks?
In my opinion, absolutely! It’s free, doesn’t increase your perk costs, and provides solid protection. Plus, it’s useful for the main quest. You really can’t beat a free perk in Zombies mode.
What round should I attempt this easter egg?
I usually go for it around rounds 5-10. By then, you should have enough essence to open any doors you need, but the zombies aren’t so overwhelming that you can’t focus on the easter egg steps.
Can I complete this on any difficulty?
Yes! The easter egg works the same way regardless of what difficulty you’re playing on. The steps and rewards are identical across all difficulty settings.
What’s the most common mistake players make with this easter egg?
From what I’ve seen, the biggest mistake is not waiting for the TV to go to static before moving to the final step. A lot of players get impatient and miss this crucial part, then wonder why the twins aren’t appearing near the silo.
Will this easter egg be available in future seasons?
As of November 2025, this easter egg is definitely available in Ashes of the Damned. However, I can’t say for certain about future seasons, so I’d recommend completing it sooner rather than later!
