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 Tomb, the newest Call of Duty Zombies map, introduces a returning Wonder Weapon: the Staff of Ice, originally featured in Black Ops II's Origins. This guide details how to obtain this powerful weapon, exploring both the Mystery Box method and the crafting process.

Can You Find the Staff of Ice in the Mystery Box?

While the Staff of Ice can randomly appear in The Tomb's Mystery Box, relying on this method is purely chance-based. Using the "Wunderbar!" GobbleGum increases your odds, but it's not a guarantee, as the Ray Gun also competes for the same slot. For a more reliable acquisition, crafting the weapon is recommended.

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 obtained in any order.

1. Obtaining the Monocle:

Eliminate the first Shock Mimic encountered in a match. The Monocle will drop upon its defeat. Interact with it to add it to your inventory.

2. Obtaining the Head Piece:

• Locate the Mural: Navigate to the Neolithic Catacombs and find the wall with the cave painting.
• Illuminate the Mural: If the wall isn't illuminated, activate Dark Aether lanterns in the area. Shoot one; after a short delay, the purple fire will shift to another lantern. Repeat until the lantern closest to the mural is lit, revealing the Roman numerals. If lanterns haven't spawned, visit the Dark Aether Nexus and return.
• Solve the Puzzle: Shoot the Roman numerals in ascending order (I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X). Incorrect shots don't reset progress; simply resume from the last correctly hit numeral. Use a standard bullet weapon to avoid accidental misfires from splash or explosive damage.
• Survive the Lockdown: Completing the puzzle triggers a lockdown. Defend against enemies until the lockdown ends to claim the Head Piece.

3. Obtaining the Staff Piece:

• Locate the Mural: Go to the Tombs room.
• Illuminate the Mural: Activate Dark Aether lanterns until the purple fire is near the Bull Mural (head facing left). This illuminates the Roman numerals.
• Solve the Puzzle: Shoot the numerals in ascending order (I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII).
• Survive the Lockdown: A lockdown will commence. Survive the onslaught to obtain the Staff Piece.

4. Assembling the Staff of Ice:

Once you possess all three components, proceed to the Dark Aether Nexus. Place the components on the central structure. A wave of enemies will attack; defend the assembly process until complete. Using GobbleGums like Kill Joy and Free Fire can significantly aid this final step.

Congratulations! You now possess the Staff of Ice.
