How to unlock the Keep Close achievement in Call of Duty: Black Ops III - Definitive Guide

As mentioned in the other guide, you'll need to assist the keeper to kill 7 different types of enemies in one game. First, you'll need to be able to call in the keeper. To do so, you'll need to have collect 3 parts (as for the zombie shield). One very important thing for this achievement is to KEEP YOUR STARTING PISTOL, in order to be able to deal with spiders and parasites.

One part always can be found in Mob of the dead or Origins (flag/steering wheel). I often find that part hanging on the wall in the cafetaria, next to Mule Kick.
-It can also be found in Origins close to the area where you can actually summon the keeper protector (opposite the mystery box and double tap).
- It can also spawn on top of the excavation site.


One part can always be found in Der Eisendrache or Kino Der Toten (pink crystal). I've found it:
- Laying against the pyramid
- On top of a table on your right hand side when you enter the room with the statues (also where the mystery box is at)
- On a table near the Gubblegum machine in Kino der Toten, and next to the jump pad which takes you to Verruckt.

One part can always be found in Verruckt (Skull). I've found it on a chair next to the jump pad when coming from Mob of the Dead.
- On top of the stairs on a wheelchair, in between the mystery box loaction and the corruptiopn engine.
- On a Shelf next to Speed Cola

Here's a video for that if you prefer so:

Next, you'll need to build the keeper protector. You can do so in Verruckt (upstairs), Origins (near the box) and in Kino Der Toten (on the stage). After doing so, you can summon the keeper protector for 5000 points in any of these 3 areas. The keeper protector will then follow you for a minute or so, killing zombies and other enemies on it's way.

Now in order to assist a keeper in killing every type of enemy, you'll need to damage an enemy, and then let the keeper finish him off. (E.g. hit a zombie with one bullet, and then wait until the keeper kills him).

When I went for this achievement, I did not activate the corruption engine in Verruckt yet, but I did do the other 3. A perkaholic gubblegum will definitely help. Otherwise, get yourself Juggernog, quick revive and Mule Kick. Mule kick is necessary as you'll be keeping your starting pistol. When I had collected the parts and had enough cash to summon the protector, I did so at Verruckt and then assisted the keeper protector in killing both Furies (Kind of look like dogs) and keepers. I did more then one of each just to be sure.
Keeper
Fury


Then I caught the beast in Nacht Der Untoten, which allowed me to go inside the beast. I did one more round and activated the Keeper again at the start of the round after that. I immediately ran for the beast. Now assist the keeper in killing a regular zombie, but more importantly, shoot a spider or a parasite which spawns inside the beast, once with your starting pistol, and then let the keeper finish him. Reason that you need your starting pistol is that shooting them with any other gun will instantly kill them. If you fail to kill those, try again some later round. Parasites can also spawn by shooting an eye from a margwa or by getting a "special round". This can also spawn keepers and furies.
Regular zombie
Parasite
Spider


Now, you''ll have just 2 enemies left. If you stay for long enough inside the beast a margwa will spawn. However, around round 12-13-14, a margwa will spawn as well. Just shoot one of the eyes from the margwas, and then keep running in circles, killing off regular zombies and letting the keeper finish off the margwa.
Margwa (either the purpe or the regular margwa)

Now the Panzer will spawn somewhere around round 17-18-19-20. When he does spawn, immediately head for a summoning spot for the keeper protector and call him in. Now shoot one or two magazines into the panzer, and then let the keeper finish him off.
Panzer

Now by the time I had killed the panzer, I did not assist the keeper in killing a spider yet, as I had killed 3 spiders with my starting pistol (probably due to having deadshot daiquiri), and the other spiders which spawned where killed by the keeper before I could damage them. Therefore, I think that there is a possibility that the spider is not required, but I'd assist the keeper in killing him just to be sure.


Let me know if, and so how I can improve this guide.

Just a quick note. I'm not convinced that the Keeper needs to be the one to deal the finishing kill/damage. I just got this achievement and I am positive that I finished off the margwa. I shot the first head, the keeper went to work on the second and I finished it off. It was the only margwa encountered, but the achievement still popped for me. So perhaps, as long as you both do damage to each type of enemy, it will still work?

I personally didn't have to damage a parasite before the Keeper killed it and my achievement unlocked.

Interesting it popped for you that way P0LAR. I was convinced I had everything except that I finished off the first panzer and no achievement. Once the next one spawned I was sure to damage it but let the keeper finish him and then it popped for me.

An alternative to using the starting pistol to do minimal damage is to use the reload shock on your Perkaholic. I simply ran by each batch of spiders, flies, etc. shooting in air and then reloading my gun to shock each enemy. My last enemy was the panzer on round 19, so I cant confirm whether flies/spiders are needed.

Yeah I'm not convinced you need to shoot any of the enemies either. I think you just need to have the keeper kill each type and that's it.

Just a big note/tip you do not need to shoot any of the enemies. All you need to do is have the keeper kill the enemies. So don't waste your time by keeping the starting pistol and worry about getting the shot before the keeper kills.

Just tested this today, can confirm that you don't need to shoot the things at all, just let the Keeper kill them. Also if playing co-op each person needs to do this separately, it does not pop for everyone in the match.

according to powerpyx (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0NDQ0uJbpw) there are 8 types of zombies to kill, not 6.
that being true, you are missing the rotten zombie

All enemies can't be found inside the Apothicon. This guide is misleading.

If you play in co-op, a Keeper kills counts only for a player who summoned him

First of all im gonna start by saying the achievement description is WRONG, you do not need to damage the enemies/assist, just make sure the keeper takes the kills!

how to build the keeper:


The enemies that need to die are

panzers: spawns round 18 and above

“furies”
which are the small creatures that crawl towards you
the red keepers
which start spawning consistently above round 15

spiders
which are always found in the apothican stomach

margwas
(you only need to make sure he kills any 1 type either purple or orange

the rotten variant of the zombie

which is always spawns in the apothican stomach which is accessible through the pack a punch step

and the parasyte

which are small flying red/orange creatures that spawn every 5 rounds

make sure you have some extra credit gobblegums to get some more points for the keeper between rounds or some reign drops since he is quite costly (5000) points per keeper.. he is infinite though so you can summon him as many times as possible as long as you have the points

the keeper helmet can also help as it gives you 30 extra seconds with the keeper

how to build the helmet:

This trophy can be a pain as you need to get lucky with enemy spawns. You need to spawn a Keeper from any Summoning Point (costs 5000 points per spawn), and it needs to kill 1 of every type of enemy. The trophy description is a bit misleading as you don’t actually have to shoot any of the enemies, the Keeper just has to be the one to kill them. Note that if you are playing co-op and multiple people contribute to calling it in, only the one that finishes the fund and summons the Keeper will get the kills counted.

To summon the Keeper, you first need to find parts scattered around the map, then build them at any Summoning Point.

Here are the part locations: (Note that there are 3 parts, and each has 3 spawn points)

    • Verruckt – On a chair as soon as you land from the Mob jump pad.
    • Verruckt – On a shelf near Speed Cola.
    • Verruckt – Near the electric trap on a chair.
    • Der Eisendrache – Near the Primis statues on the right.
    • Der Eisendrache – On the side of the Anti-Gravity Pyramid.
    • Kino – On a table near the jump pad to Verruckt.
    • Origins – On a corner of the giant footprint.
    • Origins – On top of the Dig Site on the left side.
    • Mob of the Dead – Next to Mule Kick.


A lot of the enemies only tend to spawn inside the Apothicon beast, so you will need to stay in there most of the time to get the enemies you need.

Here are the enemy types you need:

  • Regular Zombies
  • Apothicon Stomach Zombies
  • Parasites
  • Spiders
  • Enemy Keepers
  • Furies
  • Margwas
  • Panzersoldats (called Mech Z in this map)


The spiders are the toughest ones to get as they only spawn inside the Apothicon and there is no set way to get them in when you need them. The Furies and Keepers can be killed easily during a special zombie round.

The best thing to do is save up your points and only spawn a Keeper during the special waves and whenever you see a Margwa/Panzer spawn in. The other kills come naturally, especially in higher rounds.

Note that sometimes the Keeper glitches in a good way where he won’t ever de-spawn. It is unknown what causes the glitch, but if you get fortunate enough to get it then you can just stay inside the Apothicon beast until the trophy pops.

First, we assemble the summoner. Visual video .

Then he must kill 8 different types of enemies. (one call costs 5,000 credits, you can deposit the loot several times and at any point, in a co-op everyone contributes the loot to the common cash register)

1) Guardians (appears when the decay cannon is hacked and in later rounds)
2) Furies (like dogs - appear when hacking the decay cannon and in later rounds)
3) Margva (any orange or purple - you need one (appears somewhere on wave 11-12 and above)
4) Regular zombie
5) Rotten Zombie (spawn inside a worm)
6) Spiders (on some waves they appear only inside the worm)
7) Flying parasites (on some waves, and almost always inside the worm)
8) Panzersoldat (usually appears on waves 18/19/20 and 26/27/28)

You must definitely fire one shot at the enemy and let the defender finish off this enemy. So it’s probably better to take something weaker as a third weapon or leave the starting pistol altogether

Guys, don’t be fooled by the guides on the Internet and the tip above about “shooting” zombies with low-power weapons. It is enough to call the guardian and let him kill all types of enemies. I received the trophy after the latest patch fixing Gorod Krovi.

It is better to do it solo, make the first call on the 12th wave, as soon as Margwa appears.
