When you make it to the Essence of Aether Mission in Act 2 of MW3 Zombies, you will need to search for unmarked items like the Essence Sample at Hamza Bazaar. If you know where to look, though, the mission can be done without breaking a sweat.
Where to Find the Hamza Bazaar Essence Sample in MW3 Zombies
The Hamza Bazaar Essence Sample can be found in a small shop southeast of the Hadiqa Farms POI next to a cash register and a boarded-up window. The Hamza Bazaar isn’t necessarily marked on the map, but if you head directly southeast of the farms, you’ll find a small shopping center. The middle of the shopping center, or the Bazaar, has some small structures you can jump into. This is where your sample is.
When you get inside, look for the counter and the cash register. When you get close enough, all of the samples will look like metal cylinders labeled as Essence Samples. From here, all you need to do is grab the sample, and you will get a quick voice line from Dr. Jansen. Of course, she needs you to find more.
Either this was your last Essence Sample to collect for the Essence of Ather mission, or you have at least two more to pick up. Just like the Hamza Bazaar, the other two are in unmarked locations in the general vicinity of the POI description. What makes these more challenging is the fact that they are barely near the main POI.
The good news is that all of these are in pretty low-threat areas. Collecting the Levin Resort sample is likely the hardest because it’s inside the edge of the Tier 2 threat zone. But you can run in and grab it just like you did with the Bazaar.
