What Happens During the Dempsey PTSD Easter Egg in Black Ops 7 Zombies

As soon as you pick up the dog tag, Dempsey will recognize it to be his own. Veytharion’s voice will then boom through his head, calling him a coward. You then take control of Dempsey and have to walk through the forest, following the black orb. 

Veytharion will accuse Dempsey of abandoning his post at the temple, and you’ll then hear the voices of a Marine Officer congratulating Dempsey for his bravery. Veytharion then confronts Dempsey, accusing him again of living a lie. 

Follow the black orb further, and Veytharion will dig deeper. You’ll then learn of Dempsey’s partnership with Weaver and how Dempsey inadvertently unleashed evil on the temple. Dempsey was the vessel for the evil at the temple, and it bound itself to him. With this revelation, the sequence comes to an end.
