Discover how to identify and choose your Fate Stones in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War's Zombies mode. Learn the gem patterns for each fate and how to access the Room of Fate.

Alright, let's talk about the Fate Stones in Black Ops Cold War Zombies. These are super important because they basically determine your 'fate' for the rest of the match, giving you a specific bonus. You'll want to get these right!

The key to knowing which stone is which is all about the gems. If you've already placed keys on the altar on your way up the mountain, the stones will show their colors. Just walk up to the one you want and interact with it.

Here's the breakdown of what each stone looks like:

  • Firepower = All red gems
  • Fortune = Big rock with blue gems
  • Furious Feet = Medium rock with blue gems
  • Friendship = Tiny rock with blue gems
  • Divine Shield = Tiny rock with white gems
  • Divine Chalice = Big rock with white gems

Keep in mind that all six fates are available at the same time in the Room of Fate (ROF). It doesn't matter where they drop in the room, and their rotation can change each time. The images you might see are just examples from different angles – your playthrough might look a bit different, but the gem patterns are your guide.

Accessing the Room of Fate:

You can get to the Room of Fate through the main path after placing keys on the altar. Alternatively, you can access it through the Wild after Round 4. If you take the Wild route, be prepared:

  • You'll need at least FOUR (4) keys to get to the start of the Mountain of Fate.
  • You'll need another 1-2 keys for the Altar of Fate itself to make sure the stones display correctly.

This path involves some luck with key drops, so you might need to reset a few times. You'll need to get the arcade machine in the first section, explore all four dungeons, and hope for good RNG.

Pro-Tip: Getting the right Fate Stone early can make a huge difference in your game, so it's worth the effort to figure them out!
