Modern Warfare 3 Zombies requires you to collect Essence samples in order to complete the Act 2 mission Essence of Aether. Finding these collectibles is pretty easy if you know their exact locations, so check out this detailed rundown of Essence sample locations to quickly finish the Essence of Aether mission in MWZ.
Where To Find Essence Samples In Modern Warfare 3 Zombies
Essence samples are normally found inside containers that are distributed across three different locations in MW3 Zombies:
- Hamza Bazaar
- Rostova Shops
- Quadri Shopping Center
Although you might be aware of every corner of these locations, you will still have a hard time finding Essence samples as they're well hidden in the game.
Hamza Bazaar
The first one can be found in the Hamza Bazaar, situated on the far East side of the map. In the center of a large Bazaar with tents and buildings, there's a small structure. Inside that structure, on the table, you'll find your first cylindrical container boasting one of the Essence samples.
Rostova Shops
The next objective states the container is located inside the resort. Surprisingly, It's not actually in the resort but in the tier-two section, specifically inside Rostova Shops. Head into the large building marked on the above map, and you'll find another Essence sample.
Quadri Shopping Center
The last place you need to visit is the Quadre Shopping Center, a small building in the southwest corner of Zaran City. The container can be found on the desk of the main office. Simply open it and collect the third and final Essence sample.
After collecting all three Essence of Aether samples, head to the nearest exfil point and call in the helicopter to complete the mission.
