ALL YOU NEED GUIDE TO DIRECTOR'S CUT

Comprehensive guide to completing Director's cut and defeating the infamous Mephistopheles Boss Fight!

Introduction

Welcome to the last guide in the ALL YOU NEED guide series, this one is all about Director's Cut and defeating Mephistopheles! Get ready, because Mephistopheles is an insanely difficult boss fight.
Before starting this guide, it goes without saying that you'll need to have Director's Cut unlocked. To unlock Director's Cut, you'll need to have completed all of the Main Quest Easter Eggs in all of the maps. Once you've collected all the soul key pieces, interact with the Soul Jar in any Projector Room in any map and Director's cut will unlock

Rewards for Director's Cut

Director's Cut is extremely rewarding and offers a lot of replayability after completing all the Easter Eggs.

To start, after you've unlocked the Soul Jar in the projector room with the Soul Key, when you return to the lobby menu, you'll notice a new option to Toggle Director's Cut at the bottom left of the screen.

ㅤ
You'll know when Director's Cut is active as a "Director's Cut" logo will appear to the right of the menu options in the Lobby

ㅤ
When you toggle Director's Cut and go into any map, you'll immediately be given 25,000 starting points as well as all Perks. Also, the Magic wheel will contain all single PaP'd weapons as well as it will now contain all the upgraded versions of the Wonder Weapons for that specific map. The Double Pack-a-Punch will also be automatically active on every map.

Lobby Music Easter Eggs

When playing on Director's Cut, you have the ability to unlock a bunch of Lobby Music. In order to do this, you'll need to go into each map and shoot a devil face that appears somewhere on the map.

This Devil Face will only be active during ROUND 1 on each map, so keep that in mind.

Zombies in Spaceland

This will unlock Up 'N Atoms, Racin' Stripes and Slappy Taffy Lobby Music

To find the Devil's face in this map, you'll need to kill a zombie carrying a backpack and get the Shutter Shades drop. (Remember, do not end Round 1).

Once you've obtained the shades, make your way to Polar Peak, turn on the Power for Polar Peak. Now, you're going to put on the shades and then get into the Rollercoaster.

ㅤ
Once your on the Rollercoaster, you're going to go till you're about two-thirds of the way through the ride and you'll get a Yeti blowing Ice down onto the track. In between that Yeti's eyes is the Devil's face. You'll get a very short period to hit the mask. If you miss, you'll have to restart a new game and try again.

ㅤ

Rave in the Redwoods

This will unlock Bombstoppers, Tuff 'Nuff and Bang Bangs Lobby Music

Very simple, just make your way to power, turn on power and play the Knife throwing game. The Devil's mask will appear on the head of the zombie, just hit it with a Knife and you'll unlock the lobby songs.

ㅤ

Shaolin Shuffle

This will unlock Mule Munchies, Quickies and Deadeye Dewdrops Lobby Music

Also very simple, you'll just need to turn on power for the entire map to open the Rat King's Den in the Tunnels. Then to the right of the Rat King's Throne will be the Devil's face, shoot it and the lobby music will be unlocked.

ㅤ

Attack of the Radioactive Thing

This will unlock Trail Blazers, Blue Bolts and Change Chews Lobby Music

Make your way to the TV Station where Elvira is located and in the Camera looking towards Elvira is a small little Devil's face, Shoot it and the lobby music will be unlocked.

ㅤ

The Beast from Beyond

This will unlock Extinction, Mephistopheles Theme and Afterlife Arcade Lobby Music

Lastly, Beast from Beyonds is a bit more tricky since round 1 will always be cryptids. Start by putting Neils head in his terminal to restore power and open the portal to get to theater.

Make your way to the Arcade in the Theater and interact with the broken down Octonian Hunter shooting gallery and the Devil's face will spawn way in the back. Shoot it as it flies across.

How to Complete Director's Cut

To complete Director's Cut and get to the Mephistopheles Boss fight, you'll need to go back through each map and redo the Easter Egg, except this time, you'll need to be in Director's Cut mode.

This will make completing the Easter Eggs substantially easier and shouldn't take nearly as long as doing it normally without Director's Cut.

After completing the Easter Egg for a map, you'll be given the Soul Key piece as normal, but also you'll be given a Talisman to pickup. Make sure you pick these up before you exit the game and move on to the next map.

ㅤ
You'll notice that I didn't include Beast from Beyond in that graphic above, that's because I recommend saving Beast from Beyond for last.

Once you've completed all the other Easter Eggs and gathered all the Talismans, complete the Beast from Beyond Easter Egg and you'll be thrown back into the Arcade after the cutscene to prep for the Mephistopheles Boss Fight!

Mephistopheles Boss Fight

Mephistopheles is a pretty long and difficult fight, so just be warned that it's very easy to get frustrated with this fight, especially if playing solo.

Setup

When you get to the arcade after completing the Beast from Beyond Boss fight, there will be a Magic wheel that contains all double PaP'd weapons, all the Perks on the counter, and a place to replenish your F&F cards. You'll have a five minute timer shown on the exit door to prepare.

Some weapons I would suggest for the fight are the Kendall-44, FHR-40, Mauler (Sentinel Variant), VPR, Venom-Z, Type-2 (Butcher Variant), Reaver.

As far as F&F cards go, I recommend if you're playing solo to use Reanimated (if you have them) and Twist of Fate (If you have them). Hide N' Seek can be a good card as well. If you're playing Multiplayer, The Z-Team is a pretty good one when working on the Damage phase of Meph.

Attacks

Throughout the fight, Mephistopheles will gain a bunch of devastating attacks. All of which you'll need to be constantly avoiding while completing the Phases of his boss fight.

Mephistopheles will always start out with the same Four attacks.

• Spawning in a wave of Skeletons
  
  ㅤ
  
• Black Hole - This can be avoided by jumping backwards a bunch till it goes away or by going prone while he's charging the black hole.
  
  ㅤ
  
• Fireballs - This is the most common attack and one that will catch you off guard if you aren't listening for the sound cue.
  
  ㅤ
  
• Fire breath - He'll go down the middle of the arena and breathe a line of fire.
  
  

After charging each Talisman, he'll gain a new ability, so be mindful. The abilities he gains will always be randomized, however, he will always gain the Fire Tornado ability on the last Talisman.

• Super Slam - He'll raise out of the middle of the Arena and do a giant slam. Avoid it by hiding behind one of the rocks on the side of the arena.
  
  ㅤ
  
• Lava Wall - He'll clap his hands together to spawn a lava rock wall down the middle of the arena that will damage you if you get too close to it.
  
  ㅤ
  
• Meteor Strike - He'll cast a very large meteor at you. Avoid it by going behind one of the rock pillars on the side of the arena.
  
  ㅤ
  
• Fire Tornadoes - Always the last attack he obtains, he'll spawn a large Fire tornado in the center of the arena that will split into smaller tornadoes and move around the arena. Avoid these!
  
  

Phase I-V

The first five phases of the fight are essentially the same.

There are five talisman symbols on the ground. Each one is going to need to be charged to get to the damage phase of Mephistopheles.

To start a charge, walk over one of the symbols and Hold F to start charging the Talisman. You'll need to stay within the circle of the Talisman for it to charge. You can go outside of it, but if you stay outside for too long, the talisman will begin to lose its charge and eventually lower back down and you'll have to restart that talisman.

ㅤ
Once you've charged the Talisman fully, it will release a bunch of blue souls into the air. Using the Entangler, grab onto the souls and shoot them at Mephistopheles. about 3-4 souls should stun him.

ㅤ
Once he's stunned, he'll teleport to the center of the arena and the symbol of the Talisman you charged will be lit up on his chest. Shoot it until it disappears.

ㅤ
Once that symbol has been damaged enough, he'll teleport back out and cover the sun with rocks. Then a bunch of enemies will spawn into the arena. Depending on how many talismans you've charged it will spawn a different wave of enemies. Each wave will have cryptids and zombies, but this is a list of what will also spawn.

• 1st Talisman - Clowns
  
• 2nd Talisman - Slasher
  
• 3rd Talisman - Shaolins (Ninjas)
  
• 4th Talisman - Mammoths (Have the health of Rhinos).
  
• 5 Talismans - This step is skipped and instead starts the Damage Phase.

ㅤ
Once the enemies are killed, he'll uncover the sun, but send meteors flying into the arena. Stand behind one of the rocks on the side of the arena and you should be fine.

ㅤ
Once you've gotten through this, you'll need to repeat all of this for the rest of the Talismans.

Phase VI - Damage Phase

This is where everything goes to hell in a hand basket. Mephistopheles will throw every attack he has at you with in quick succession, so you'll need to dodge everything he throws at you. In the meantime, you'll get a bunch of enemies spawning in from normal zombies to cryptids, and occasionally the Slasher and Mammoths.

During all these attacks and fighting off enemies, you'll need to be damaging Mephistopheles by shooting him with some kind of high damage weapon like the Mauler, VPR, FHR-40, etc.. As you damage him, the Talismans will begin to raise around the arena.

ㅤ
Once you've raised all 5 talismans by damaging him enough, you'll be able to interact with each Talisman. Once they are all active, everything will despawn and the talismans will begin to shoot lasers towards Mephistopheles.

ㅤ
He'll be teleported to the center of the arena where you need to damage, and you need to do a lot of damage very quickly. In the meantime, he'll begin spawning a portal above his head. If you don't do enough damage, this portal will act as a wipe mechanic and kill everyone. So make sure you're putting as much damage as you can as quickly as possible!

ㅤ
If you get enough damage in him, Mephistopheles will have been defeated and the cutscene will play! Congratulations if you made it this far!

Zombies In Spaceland as Willard Wyler

You may remember from the Cutscene for completing the Beast from Beyond Easter Egg that the characters throw Willard Wyler into the Zombies in Spaceland Film. Well, funny enough, once you've completed the Mephistopheles Boss Fight, you'll be able to play as Willard Wyler on Spaceland!.

To play as Willard, you'll need to have the Film set to Zombies in Spaceland and have Director's Cut active. Then input the code below.



Playing as Willard, you'll spawn it with all the Director's Cut rewards as usual, but Willard Wyler has a special Melee weapon he spawns in with, his Dagger. This Dagger is OP as ♥♥♥♥ and can one hit zombies (not sure what round this stops, but its pretty damn high). The announcer will also switch to David Hasselhoff!

Playing as Willard, you can redo the Spaceland Easter Egg and get the true ending to Infinite Warfare Zombies along with the credits! You'll also unlock a new secret calling card.
