Pharaoh is yet another fun boss available in Call of Duty: Operation Nightmare during The Haunting event. Finding the Pharaoh isn’t too hard, but summoning him can be tricky, and defeating him is a challenge. Without further adieu, here is how to find, summon, and defeat Pharaoh in Call of Duty Operation Nightmare.

Pharaoh is found in the same place and is available at the start of every COD: Operation Nightmare match. Its location is northwest of Rohan Oil. The Pharaoh symbol on the map makes finding the exact location a breeze.

When you’re close to Pharaoh, you’ll get a Pharaoh jumpscare that’ll fill your screen. Enter the tombs and, as always, watch out for enemy Operators.

I ran into an enemy squad but I asked to join them. They accepted me and we found the Pharaoh as a four-man squad which made things easier. However, at the very end, we got sabotaged by an enemy squad that took our kill and wiped all of us. So as always, watch out.

You’ll encounter heavily armored enemies once inside the tombs. Some have green heads and some have red heads. Your goal is to defeat the red-headed enemies and collect the red cursed skulls they drop.

Continue forward and take a right to find the Pharaoh’s coffin. To summon Pharaoh, you need to place eight cursed skulls into the coffin. Keep eliminating enemies, picking up red cursed skulls, and when you’re ready to summon Pharaoh, place all eight cursed skulls into the coffin.

Once Pharaoh is summoned, empty all your bullets into him. He’ll summon green-headed enemies to help fight you, so be sure to take them out. Use your best weapon to eliminate Pharaoh quickly, but I recommend using a shotgun because you can empty a lot of high-power, high-damage bullets into Pharaoh.

Pharaoh will run away. If you lose him, look for the red icon above his head. He won’t leave the tombs. He will run right at you and perform a one-shot finisher move on you, so stay frosty. If he attempts to one-shot your teammates, unload all your ammo into him.

Eventually, you’ll defeat Pharaoh and complete the encounter. Collect the loot and finish raiding the tomb. When you’re ready, move on to your next boss fight, like The Butcher.
