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 featured in Black Ops II's Origins. This guide details how to obtain it, addressing the Mystery Box method and the crafting process.

Can the Mystery Box Deliver the Staff of Ice?

While the Staff of Ice can randomly appear in The Tomb's Mystery Box, relying on this method is purely chance-based. The Ray Gun is also a possibility, making the odds less favorable. Using the "Wunderbar!" GobbleGum increases your chances, but it's not a guaranteed win. For a reliable method, crafting is recommended.

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

The Staff of Ice requires three parts: 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. Acquiring the Head Piece:

• Locate the cave painting in the Neolithic Catacombs.
• Activate the wall by lighting the Dark Aether lanterns in the area (shoot the lanterns with purple fire). The closest lantern to the wall needs to be lit. If lanterns haven't spawned, visit the Dark Aether Nexus and return.
• Shoot the Roman numerals on the illuminated wall in ascending order (I-X). Incorrect shots won't reset progress; simply resume from the last correctly hit numeral. Avoid splash or explosive damage.
• A lit constellation triggers a lockdown. Survive the onslaught to obtain the Head Piece.

3. Securing the Staff Piece:

• Go to the Tombs room.
• Illuminate the Bull Mural (head facing left) by lighting the nearest Dark Aether lantern.
• Shoot the Roman numerals (I-VIII) in ascending order.
• Survive the ensuing lockdown to claim the Staff piece.

4. Assembling the Staff of Ice:

Once you have all three components, proceed to the Dark Aether Nexus. Place the parts on the central structure. Defend the Staff during assembly from a wave of enemies. Use perks, upgraded weapons, and helpful GobbleGums (Kill Joy, Free Fire) to enhance your survival chances. Successful defense yields the completed Staff of Ice.
