How To Get the Staff of Ice on The Tomb in Black Ops 6 Zombies

Unlock the Staff of Ice in Black Ops 6 Zombies: A Comprehensive Guide

The new Call of Duty Zombies map, The Tomb, introduces a returning Wonder Weapon: the Staff of Ice, originally from Black Ops II's Origins. This guide details how to obtain it, both via the Mystery Box and through crafting.

Can You Get the Staff of Ice from the Mystery Box?

While the Staff of Ice can be found in The Tomb's Mystery Box, relying on pure luck is risky. The Ray Gun is also a possibility, making the odds unfavorable. Using the "Wunderbar!" GobbleGum increases your chances, but it's not a guaranteed method. Crafting offers a more reliable approach.

Crafting the Staff of Ice: A Step-by-Step Guide

The Staff of Ice requires three components: the Monocle, the Head Piece, and the Staff itself. These can be acquired in any order.

1. Obtaining the Monocle:

Eliminate the first Shock Mimic encountered in a match. The Monocle will drop; interact with it to add it to your inventory.

2. Obtaining the Head Piece:

• Locate the wall with the cave painting in the Neolithic Catacombs.
• Activate the wall by lighting the nearby Dark Aether lantern (the purple fire will relocate between lanterns; you need the one closest to the mural).
• Shoot the Roman numerals on the illuminated wall in ascending order (I-X). Incorrect shots won't reset your progress. Use a bullet weapon to avoid accidental misfires.
• A lit constellation will trigger a lockdown. Survive the onslaught to obtain the Head Piece.

3. Obtaining the Staff Piece:

• Go to the Tombs room.
• Illuminate the Bull Mural (head facing left) by positioning the purple fire lantern nearby.
• Shoot the Roman numerals (I-VIII) in ascending order.
• Survive the ensuing lockdown to receive the Staff Piece.

4. Assembling the Staff of Ice:

Access the Dark Aether Nexus (requires opening the Door to Nowhere). Place all three components on the central structure and defend against waves of enemies during assembly. Use perks, upgraded weapons, and helpful GobbleGums (like Kill Joy and Free Fire) to increase your survival chances. Once assembled, the Staff of Ice is yours.
