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

Unlock the Staff of Ice in Call of Duty: 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, dispelling the myth of solely relying on the Mystery Box. While the Mystery Box offers a chance (heavily reliant on RNG, even with "Wunderbar!" GobbleGum), crafting the Staff guarantees acquisition.

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

Yes, but it's purely luck-based. The Ray Gun also competes for the same slot. Crafting is the reliable method.

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.

1. Obtaining the Monocle:

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

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 (purple fire). If lanterns aren't spawned, visit the Dark Aether Nexus and return. Round progression may be necessary.
• Shoot the illuminated Roman numerals in ascending order (I-X). Incorrect shots don't reset progress; resume from the last correctly hit numeral. Avoid splash or explosive damage.
• A lit constellation triggers a lockdown. Survive the onslaught to claim the Head Piece.

3. Obtaining the Staff Piece:

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

4. Assembling the Staff of Ice:

Access the Dark Aether Nexus. Place all three components on the central structure. Defend the Staff during assembly against a wave of enemies. Use perks, upgraded weapons, and GobbleGums (Kill Joy, Free Fire) to enhance survival.

Once successfully defended, the Staff of Ice is yours.
