Hand of Gaia

The Hand of Gaia is one of the four Primordial weapons and a wonder weapon featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. It can be obtained on the map Ancient Evil. 
==Overview==
The Hand of Gaia will shoot a three small bundles of Earth magic that auto-target, which will explode zombies when killed. With the Redeemed and Exalted Hand of Gaia, the player can charge the weapon to create a line of stone that rises from the earth and snares zombies caught in the path. These stones will explode a few seconds later, damaging zombies that are near. The player can control the path the stones take by moving the cursor around.
==Fallen Hand==
===Step 1===
In order to obtain the Hand of Gaia, the player must first locate a Dormant Hand around the map, which the Oracle will provide a cryptic clue to a location of one when visiting her after activating the Sentinel Artifact. The player will know the Dormant Hand is there when they can see a small part of the map that is producing purple particles. Once the player finds this part, melee the area, and the weapon will be shown to pick up. The hints and locations are as follows:
*Chaos of the Treasuries - In the Intersection of Treasuries, there is a giant red crystal the player can see when coming from the Gymnasium Bathhouse. There should be part of the crystal glowing purple
*Near the Purple Blossoms - In the Intersection of Treasuries, there is a patch of purple blossoms. There is a dirt patch that is near
*Barque of Gold - In the Stoa of the Athenians, next to a boat full of gold that has a shield and arrows on top. There should be a pot glowing purple
*The Shieldbearers Fountain - In the Stoa of the Athenians, on the fountain of the statue in the middle. There should be a pot glowing purple
*General's Column - In the Spartan Monument, there is a pot at the base of a column that has a statue on top
*Fallen Statesman - To the left of the Zeus statue, up the stairs there should be a patch of dirt glowing purple
*Beneath the Watchful Gaze of Zeus - In front of the Zeus statue, there should be a patch of dirt glowing purple
*Golden Taurus - In the Spartan Monument, there should be a pot at the base of a golden taurus statue
*Where the Arrow Splits the Road - In the Intersection of Treasuries, there is a huge arrow that is in the middle between the Intersection of Treasuries and the Spartan Monument. On the ground next to this arrow, there is a pile of bricks that will be glowing purple
The next hints are located on the other half of the map, where Pack-A-Punch is:
*Where Sorrows Flow Beneath - In the River of Sorrow, when exiting from the Pegasus ride, down the stairs and to the left should be a pile of bricks glowing purple
*Sorrow Washes Over - To the left of the Odin statue, there should be a pile of dirt glowing purple
*Wheel of Water - In the Cliff Ruins, on the ground next to the blue fireplace, there should be a pile of bricks glowing purple
*Workbench - In the Cliff Ruins, to the right of the blue fireplace, there should be a pot glowing purple on top of a desk
*Where the Serpent Snared the Eagle - In the Cliff Ruins, to the left of the yellow cage holding the eagle, there should be a pile of dirt glowing purple
*Broken Bridge - Going from the Cliff Ruins to the Center of the World, there is a bridge the player has to cross. On the right side there should be a pot glowing purple
*The Shrine of Wind and Sky - To the left of the Ouranos altar in the Center of the World, there is a pile of bricks glowing purple
*Top of the Center of the World - In the Center of the World, going behind Pack-A-Punch, there is a pile of bricks glowing purple
*Chaos of Venom - In between the Center of the World and the Acid Trap from Python Pass, there is a small bundle of crystals that are glowing purple
*Where the Mighty Titan Points - In Python Pass, to the left of the Titan wallbuy, there is a crystal glowing purple
*The Steps of Flesh and Bone - In Python Pass, next to the Charon altar, there should be a pile of stone glowing purple
===Step 2===
Once the player obtains a Dormant Hand, the player must bring it to the Shrine of Gaia in the Spartan Monument, near the Golden Taurus, and place it on the shrine. The player will be condensed in a small circular barrier and must survive until the barrier disappears. The Fallen Hand of Gaia can now be grabbed from the shrine.
==Redeemed Hand==
===Step 1===
Once acquiring the Fallen Hand of Gaia, the player will need to locate three plants that have three small red crystals in them. One of them is in the Temple Terrace, another is in the Stoa of the Athenians, and the last one is in the Intersection of Treasuries. The player can easily find one of these plants by listening for the ringing sound they emanate. Once the player finds these plants, they will need to use the Fallen Hand to shoot at and break the crystals on the plant. By doing so, a small seedling will emerge from the ground in front of the plant. The player needs to pick these seedlings up and deliver them to the Shrine of Gaia. When holding a seedling, the player cannot sprint, jump, change weapons, drink elixirs, or interact with anything. If the player goes down while holding a seedling, they will need to wait a little bit before the seedling respawns.
===Step 2===
Once you deliver all three seedlings, a portal will open up for the player to enter. Once the player does, they will be teleported to a small arena. Here the player will be given the Redeemed Hand of Gaia and unlimited ammo. The player will need to survive for a certain amount of time before being teleported back. Once the player does they will now have the Redeemed Hand of Gaia.
==Exalted Hand==
===Step 0===
To start obtaining the Exalted Hand of Gaia, make sure to first have the Redeemed Hand of Hemera, Redeemed Hand of Charon, and Redeemed Hand of Ouranos.
===Step 1===
The player will need to light the Eternal Flame by completing Trials and claiming an Epic and Legendary reward.
With the Eternal Flame lit up, the player must pull out Apollo’s Will and melee the Eternal Flame to make the spear catch on fire. Going outside to the left of the Eternal Flame and looking up the player will see a large bowl on top of a pillar. The player will need to aim slightly above the top of the bowl and throw a spear to light the bowl on fire.
===Step 2===
The player needs to kill a specific Catalyst Zombie in the circle at each Shrine. The kills are as follows:
*Kill a Fire Catalyst at the Shrine of Gaia
*Kill an Electric Catalyst at the Shrine of Hemera
*Kill a Poison Catalyst at the Shrine of Charon
*Kill a Water Catalyst at the Shrine of Ouranos
Once the player has killed a catalyst at a Shrine, they will need to get zombie kills near that Shrine to collect souls. The player will need about 10 and the player will know when they're done once souls stop going into the Shrine.
===Step 3===
The final step is to take one of the Hands and go interact with Pack-A-Punch to initiate the Primordial God’s Challenges. Unlike upgrading to the Redeemed Hand, the player doesn't have unlimited ammo, but can use their full arsenal. There are four challenges the player must complete, but the player will be teleported back to the map after completing each one. The Challenges are as follows:
* Chalklenge of Gaia:
** Kill a whole bunch of Catalyst Zombies
* Challenge of Ouranos:
** Kill a whole bunch of skeletons
* Challenge of Hemera:
** Kill three Genenees’
* Challenge of Charon:
** Kill three Blightfathers
After completing the Challenge of Charon, the player will then be able to Pack-A-Punch any Hand, bringing it to its Exalted form, and increasing ammo as well as damage.
