How to obtain 10000 Essence for free in Black Ops 6 Zombies Citadelle des Morts

To perform the trick to receive 10000 Essence for free in Black Ops 6 Zombies Citadelle des Morts, start by customizing your loadout. Equip a Grenade as your lethal equipment and select Who's Keeping Score? as one of your starting GobbleGums. This setup is recommended for the trick to work effectively.

Once ready, begin your match on Citadelle des Morts and progress through the objectives until you unlock access to the castle. Enter the castle and open the Dining Hall area by unlocking the right-hand door. Inside that room, purchase the Vulture Aid Perk-a-Cola to proceed with the Wishing Well Easter Egg.

Continue playing until you get to a special round where only Vermin and Parasites spawn. During this round, head to the Village Ascent area (G6 map segment), where you’ll find a well.

Wait for a Vermin to come out from the well, eliminate it, and then cook a grenade. Throw the grenade into the well to trigger a 1,000 Essence drop. Collect the Essence.

• Once you’ve collected 10,000 Essence, deposit it into the well by interacting with it. Note that you can only deposit 100 Essence per interaction, so repeat until all 10000 Essence is stored.

Doubling the Essence:
