How to get & use the Locked Diary in MW3 Zombies

You will get the Locked Diary after completing the Bad Signal Mission, as once you defeat the boss Gorm’gant, a Reward Rift will pop up with the Locked Diary inside. You then need to use the Locked Diary by placing it on the pedestal with the Cryo Freeze logo in the red High Threat Zone.

Check out the image below for the location of the pedestal you need to place the Locked Diary.

MW3 Zombies Dark Aether Rift pedestals

At this location, you will find four pedestals with the different ammo mod elements on them: Cryo Freeze, Brain Rot, Dead Wire, and Napalm Burst. Once you place the Locked Diary on the Cryo pedestal, you will need to place the other key items on their corresponding pedestals, which are as follows:

• Dog Collar – Napalm Burst
• Locked Diary – Cryo Freeze
• Pill Bottle – Brain Rot
• Surveillance Camera – Dead Wire

Once you place these items on their correct pedestals, you will have a tough fight to deal with, so make sure you’re geared up. Once completed, you’ll be rewarded with a sigil that opens the Dark Aether Rift. This sigil is a one-time use item, but you can get more by completing Tier 3 Contracts.
