"Separation Anxiety" in Black Ops 6 is the 10th mission of the campaign. In the previous mission, you travel to Vorkuta, a former Russian prison camp repurposed as a Pantheon base, to retrieve a bio-weapon. However, you soon discover that the bio-weapon has already been shipped to another location. During the mission, you encounter Harrow and proceed to capture her.
After that, you bring her to your safe house, "The Rook." "Separation Anxiety" commences as soon as you start it through the mission board. This article provides a detailed guide to completing this mission with ease.
Black Ops 6 campaign mission 10 "Separation Anxiety" walkthrough
When the mission begins, all the members — Case, Marshal, Sev, Felix, Adler, and Woods — are in the Operations Room, and Harrow is brought in for interrogation. Your team needs the location of the bio-weapon. When she refuses to talk, Adler injects a substance he refers to as “Separation.”
After that, Harrow enters an altered mental state, and you assume control of her. The mission takes place within her mind, where you must navigate through her memories to help her uncover her true self and reveal the bio-weapon's location.

Reveal Pantheon's plans
You begin outside Harrow’s home, with everything scattered around you and only one path ahead. Follow the path until you reach her childhood bedroom, where you’ll find a younger version of Harrow crying beside the bed. Interact with her to trigger a flashback, where her mother enters the room and urgently asks you to hide. Crouch and crawl under the bed.
When the flashback ends, you return to the current Harrow, standing in the same spot. After a brief conversation with Marshal, you must interact with a nearby mirror. When you do, your reflection appears, warning you not to reveal anything, and then the mirror shatters into three pieces.
Your goal is to retrieve these shards to restore the mirror.

Complete the Scavenger hunt (First shard)
You find yourself in a new area and assume control of Harrow’s childhood self. One of the broken mirror shards appears in front of you, but as you try to obtain the item, it gets locked inside a box that requires a code to open.
The segment involves solving puzzles in three marked locations to find the correct code.
Tea Party puzzle
Head to the first marked location to the far right. Enter the room and move upstairs, crouching under an obstacle to proceed. You’ll find a puzzle note that reads:
"They came for tea and friendly chat. Count the guests and double that."
Count the participants at the tea party: a house, a bear, a deer, and a doll. There are four participants, so the answer is 4×2=8.
Scouts puzzle
The next puzzle is on the right side of the party area. Find a note that says:
"Count them all and let’s begin. Trophies minus badges will get the win."
There are six trophies on the top shelf. Below them, a shelf holds five badges. Subtract the badges from the trophies to get 6−5=1.
Desk puzzle
For the final puzzle, head to the third marked location. On the desk, you’ll find a note that reads:
"Working hard, wanting more. Always seek the highest score."
On the same desk are three answer sheets with different marks: 5, 8, and 9. Since the puzzle asks for the highest score, the answer is 9.
After finding all the required numbers, return to the locked box and enter these in the following order: [Desk] [Scouts] [Tea Party]. The correct code is 918.
However, if you want to take a shortcut, you can immediately enter the code 918 as soon as the box locks. This will unlock the box and allow you to retrieve the first broken mirror shard.

Second shard
As you collect the broken piece, you return to the same room where the mirror shattered. When you place the piece in the mirror, another flashback of your childhood begins.
You, as a child, leave your room only to witness your mother getting shot. In a panic, your father rushes to you, hides you inside a cupboard, and tells you not to come out. The flashback ends, and you return to your present self. This time, you're in a different location, inside a lab.
The gameplay begins, but it's pitch black, so turn on your flashlight to proceed. Soon, you discover the second broken mirror piece. However, just as you reach for it, you fall.
Power up the generator
To get back up, you need to provide power to the elevator. Head to the marked locations to activate four generators. Be cautious, as after you start each generator, your negative versions will attack you. Use your weapon to eliminate them.
Once all the generators are running, operate the lift and climb the stairs to retrieve the second broken piece.
As you collect the piece, you are again taken to the same room with the shattered mirror. Place the second piece into the mirror to trigger another flashback. This time, you witness the traumatic moment when your father is shot and killed.
With this, you have successfully completed "Separation Anxiety" in Black Ops 6. The mission ends mid-way without you having to acquire the third shard. There are no rewards associated with this mission.
Conclusion
Separation Anxiety is one of the most interesting missions thematically. Not only does it require players to solve several puzzles, but it provides insight into Harrow's backstory as well.
After completing this mission, you can continue with the next one which is titled "Checkmate."
