With the exciting addition of a new *Call of Duty* Zombies map comes the return of a fan-favorite Wonder Weapon. Originally introduced in *Black Ops II*'s Origins map, the Staff of Ice is now making its appearance in *Black Ops 6* Zombies on The Tomb. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to obtain the Ice Staff in this thrilling new setting.

Can You Get the Staff of Ice from the Mystery Box on The Tomb? Answered

In *Black Ops II*, acquiring the Staff of Ice required players to hunt down three specific parts to craft the weapon. This requirement carries over to *Black Ops 6*. However, fans eager to dive straight into the action on The Tomb will be thrilled to know that the Staff of Ice can also be obtained from the Mystery Box. Keep in mind, though, this method is dependent on RNG (random number generation) luck. Utilizing the "Wunderbar!" GobbleGum might tilt the odds in your favor, but there's no guarantee, especially with the Ray Gun also in the mix. For those who prefer certainty over chance, here's how to build the Staff of Ice without relying on luck.

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

The journey to craft the Staff of Ice begins with the Monocle, the first and most accessible part. In The Tomb, the Monocle drops from the first Shock Mimic you kill within a match. Once you've taken down the Shock Mimic, simply walk over to the Monocle and press the interact button to secure it in your inventory.

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

The next two components of the Staff of Ice involve similar steps and a bit of puzzle-solving. Both the Head Piece and the Staff Piece can be obtained in any order, but they require you to navigate the Neolithic Catacombs and the Tombs room, respectively.

To secure the Staff of Ice's Head Piece, venture into the Neolithic Catacombs. Here, you'll encounter a wall adorned with a cave painting. Your goal is to shoot specific sections of this wall, which are highlighted by lights. If the wall appears dark, you'll need to light up the area using the Dark Aether lanterns scattered around the Catacombs. Find and shoot a lantern with purple fire, which will eventually respawn in a different lantern, usually by the start of the next round. Once the lantern nearest to the painted wall is lit, the symbols on the wall will become visible.

If the lanterns haven't spawned in your match yet, a quick trip to the Dark Aether Nexus and back should help. If they're still absent, you may need to progress through a few more rounds.

The symbols on the wall correspond to Roman Numerals and must be shot in ascending order from I to X. This step is forgiving; if you miss, you can resume from the last correct symbol. Ensure you use a bullet-based weapon, as splash or explosive damage can complicate this process.

Upon successfully completing this sequence, a constellation will illuminate on the wall, triggering a lockdown. You'll need to fend off zombies and special enemies until the lockdown ends, at which point the Staff of Ice Head Piece will be available to collect from the mural and constellation wall.

The final piece, the Staff itself, is obtained in a similar manner to the Head Piece. Navigate to the Tombs room and, once again, manipulate the lanterns until the purple fire is positioned near the Bull Mural. This mural depicts a bull charging left at attacking Romans. When the wall lights up, shoot the Roman Numerals in ascending order from I to VIII. Completing this will initiate another lockdown. Survive the onslaught, and the final piece of the Staff of Ice will be yours, ready to be assembled in the Dark Aether Nexus.

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

With all three parts in hand, head to the Dark Aether Nexus via the Door to Nowhere. Approach the central structure and use the interact button to place the Monocle, Head Piece, and Staff Piece. This action will trigger a zombie horde, including special and potentially elite enemies, all intent on disrupting the assembly process. Defend the Staff of Ice until it's fully assembled. To increase your chances of success, stock up on perks, upgrade your weapons, and consider using GobbleGums like Kill Joy and Free Fire to boost your damage output.

Once you've successfully defended the Staff, it will be ready for you to claim and wield against the undead hordes of The Tomb.

And that's how you secure the Staff of Ice on The Tomb in *Black Ops 6* Zombies.
