Game Guide by Joyramen on Nov 28, 2025

The Focusing Stone in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is another relic that you'll be able to collect in the Cursed Mode on Ashes of the Damned. To get it, you will need to have a specific criterion met and complete specific steps along the way.

With the first three relics already acquired, start a new Cursed match and then fight through the waves up until you've reached round 40.

On round 40, you will need to defeat a Bear using a melee weapon, such as the knife. You can damage the bear using any ranged weapon until it is low enough on health to you can just finish it off using melee hits and land the final blow.

Upon defeating the bear, a bottle will be dropped, which is one of the requirements of the relic process.

After you've collected the bottle, you will need to collect another one, which will be tied to the T.E.D.D. task on round 40 or later. After completing the quest, you will be rewarded with another bottle just like the one you got from the Bear drop.

With both of the bottles at hand, you'll need to travel to Blackwater Cabin; inside, there will be a bunch of bottles on the counter. Place the bottles that you have collected onto the counter beside the already placed bottles.

The bottles will then break in a specific sequence of which you will need to replicate by shooting at them. Breaking them in the correct specific order and shooting them in the correct order will unlock the Relic Trial, which can be completed at the Cosmodrome.

You'll then want to interact with the trial marker to start the trial, where you will be challenged with a restriction. The restriction is going to have all of your money removed, causing you to not be able to purchase any ammo, perks, or equipment during the trial.

Having the right loadout to start the trial with will prevent the challenge from being overly difficult. Once the trial is completed, you will be rewarded with the Focusing Stone Relic.
