The Shiny Trinket is a mysterious item that can be found on the Astra Malorum map in Black Ops 7 Zombiesand once you find him, you can recruit Bongo to do your bidding.
Once you find a shiny trinket, it will fit into your tactical equipment slot. Initially it will be useless. However, this item must be used to recruit Bongo, who can appear in random places on the map. This guide will help you make the most of your Shiny Trinket and get a new companion.
How to find a shiny trinket in Black Ops 7 Zombies Astra Malorum
The Shiny Trinket can be obtained by defeating Oscar, who appears multiple times depending on how many rounds you can survive. Typically, you should receive a Shiny Trinket the first time you defeat Oscar during a match.

Once you find a shiny trinket, it will appear in your inventory. It must be used three times (depending on whether you can reach that point) to recruit Bongo.
How to Use the Shiny Keychain in Black Ops 7 Zombies Astra Malorum
Once you spot Bongo, you'll have to use the Shiny Trinket three times. The creature appears behind barricades in different places on the map. I saw this more in Luminarium and Archives. He always appears behind barriers, and keep an eye on his eyes to easily spot him.

Throw the Keychain at him and wait a few seconds. He will appear from the shadows and absorb the Trinket. Wait for a new round to start and Bongo to appear again. Repeat the process two more times and Bongo will join you in fighting the zombies.
Although Bongo doesn't deal much damage, his huge health pool allows him to distract zombies, which can save you time and time again.
