The Chess Board Easter Egg is an exclusive task available in Warzone 2's Vondead map during the Haunting Event. It is quite easy to accomplish and gives an exclusive reward.

Follow these instructions to complete the task:

1. Deploy into Vondead after launching Warzone 2
2. Proceed to the location of the Chess Board on the South-Eastern side of the Vondead.
3. Take a look around till you find the missing Chess Board piece, i.e., the black Knight piece.
4. Stare at the piece till its eyes glow red, then immediately proceed to turn around and run back.
5. There is a very distinct key frame attached to this interaction, and missing it will result in the piece hitting you and simply shutting down.
6. Upon successfully matching the timing, turn around and run to the Knight's position on the Chess Board.
7. Provided all the criteria are met, the Knight will teleport to your location, completing the entire Easter Egg challenge and yielding players its rewards.

While the entire interaction seems quite straightforward, there is a catch that makes it quite tricky to attempt. During the entire staring and moving back part, a player's entire effort will be wasted if any of their teammates, or even a third party decides to lock eyes with the Knight chess piece.

We urge you to keep your teammates on guard while they attempt the challenge solo to effectively complete the entire Easter Egg task.
