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 featured in Black Ops II's Origins. This guide details how to obtain this powerful weapon, dispelling the myth of solely relying on the Mystery Box.

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 heavily dependent on luck. The Wunderbar! GobbleGum can increase your chances, but it doesn't guarantee success, as the Ray Gun also competes for the same slot. Building the Staff 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 obtained in any order.

Obtaining the Monocle

The Monocle is the easiest component to acquire. Simply eliminate the first Shock Mimic encountered in a match. The Monocle will drop; interact with it to add it to your inventory.

Obtaining the Head Piece

To obtain the Head Piece, navigate to the Neolithic Catacombs. Locate the wall with the cave painting. If the wall isn't illuminated, activate the Dark Aether lanterns in the area by shooting them until the one nearest the painting is lit. This will reveal Roman numerals on the wall. Shoot the numerals in ascending order (I through X). A correct sequence triggers a lockdown; survive it to claim the Head Piece.

Obtaining the Staff Piece

The Staff piece acquisition mirrors the Head Piece process. In the Tombs room, illuminate the Bull Mural (facing left) by manipulating the Dark Aether lanterns. Shoot the illuminated Roman numerals (I through VIII) in ascending order. Survive the ensuing lockdown to receive the Staff piece.

Assembling the Staff of Ice

With all three components, proceed to the Dark Aether Nexus. Place the components on the central structure. A wave of enemies will attack; defend the Staff until it's fully assembled. Utilizing perks, upgraded weapons, and GobbleGums like Kill Joy and Free Fire is highly recommended.

Congratulations! You now possess the Staff of Ice.
