This guide details the Pharaoh boss and how to get Cursed Skulls in Call of Duty: Warzone The Haunting.
Call of Duty‘s long-awaited Halloween themed event – The Haunting – is finally here. The seasonal event has added a lot of new spooky content to Warzone for fans to sink their fangs into.
The main new feature introduced in The Haunting is Operation Nightmare. This twist on the standard Warzone battle royale mode plunges Al Mazrah into darkness and populates it with several terrifying anomalies for players to discover.
These anomalies come in the form of bosses such as the Butcher, the Pharaoh, and the UFO. Each of these bosses are synonymous with Halloween and each one requires a different strategy to access and defeat.
The Pharaoh can be found near the Oasis point-of-interest in north Al Mazrah. Once there, you’ll immediately notice the underground necropolis reminiscent of the Valley of the Kings. It’s a really cool looking place that stands out thanks to the Ancient Egyptian statues and hieroglyphics.
Once inside, be sure to explore the complex until you find the burial chamber in the northern section. This is where you will find the Pharaoh – or where he’s buried, at least.
So, let’s take a look at how to awaken the Pharoah and how to get the Cursed Skulls.
Warzone: The Haunting – Pharaoh boss guide
How to awaken the Pharaoh
Once you have found the burial chamber, you need to find and collect 10 Cursed Skulls to awaken the Pharaoh boss. After collecting the skulls, simply return to the sarcophagus and place them underneath.
How to get Cursed Skulls
Cursed Skulls can be harvested from AI enemies that populate the underground necropolis. These cursed soldiers have glowing yellow or red eyes. The enemies with red eyes drop Cursed Skulls when killed.
Thankfully, there are plenty of enemies around and they respawn fairly quickly. This makes harvesting the Cursed Skulls simple.
How to defeat the Pharaoh
After placing 10 Cursed Skulls around the Sarcophagus, the Pharaoh will rise from the dead and attack you. At this point, you can kill him for a pretty substantial reward.
Defeating the Pharaoh boss is simple but time consuming. All you need to do is pump his head full of lead until he goes back to get reacquainted with Osiris, the god of the dead.
The best strategy for this is to have one of your team members lure him away while the rest of you aim for headshots. Eventually, he will lose the armour protecting his head and you will be able to put him down easily.
