Pharaoh's Unexpected Transformation in Call of Duty: Warzone will Blow Your Mind

Highlights

Call of Duty: Warzone has an annual Halloween event called The Haunting, featuring special game modes and seasonal skins like Skeletor and Spawn.

In Operation Nightmare, players navigate various map areas and complete tasks to defeat boss targets. In a humorous clip, a clever player successfully recruited the Operation Nightmare Pharaoh boss as an ally, assisting them in eliminating enemy players.

One creative Call of Duty: Warzone player successfully recruits the Operation Nightmare Pharaoh boss as a temporary ally, unleashing it against an opposing team of players. In line with the recent tradition in Call of Duty titles, players can participate in the annual Halloween-themed event known as The Haunting. In addition to seasonal skins like Skeletor and Spawn, players have access to various special game modes, including the Vondead zombie experience and the return of the classic Zombie Royale mode from previous years.

However, a unique twist is present in the Call of Duty: Warzone version of The Haunting, called Operation Nightmare. As players parachuted into the Al Mazrah map, they were tasked with tracking down a bounty board that featured boss targets, including a crossover appearance from Diablo's The Butcher. To summon and defeat these special encounters, players had to navigate different areas of the map and complete specific tasks, all while remaining vigilant for other players attempting to do the same. In an amusing turn of events, one ingenious player successfully enlisted the help of an Eldritch boss to aid them in battling their enemies, as captured in a hilarious video clip.

On the Call of Duty: Warzone subReddit, a player by the name of david_lara54992 shared a clip demonstrating how they cleverly turned a boss character into an ally. While exploring the Ancient Tomb Complex in Al Mazrah and collecting the cursed skulls needed to awaken The Pharaoh boss, david_lara54992 finds themselves overwhelmed by enemy NPCs and another team that enters the room. Desperate, they decide to take a last-ditch effort by placing the final skull to awaken the boss.

Surprisingly, this decision proves to be a game-changer as The Pharaoh immediately turns on the other enemies in the room, including the opposing team. After successfully eliminating one member of the enemy squad, david_lara54992 falls victim to a Call of Duty player using the notorious Gaia skin, but not before self-reviving. However, before they can fully recover, the Pharaoh intervenes and delivers a finishing move on the enemy. In the end, david_lara54992 and their squad triumph in the encounter, largely thanks to the unexpected assistance from the Pharaoh boss. Viewers of the video showered it with positive comments, praising the captivating footage, although it's safe to assume the opposing team would have been quite displeased with the sudden turn of events.

Part of the Haunting's unique gameplay involves jump scares, which are designed to provide a thrilling surprise and potentially distract players while they loot an unsuspecting box. However, not all players enjoy being startled or want to experience something that some may find annoying. Fortunately, there is an option to disable jump scares from the Call of Duty Battle Pass menu. A toggle indicator in the top left corner allows players to turn this feature on or off. Unfortunately, this option does not apply to the entire Haunting experience, so players will have to wait for a potential permanent solution.

Call of Duty: Warzone is currently available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
