"Guide: Obtaining the Ice Staff in Black Ops 6 Zombies' Tomb"

With the introduction of an all-new *Call of Duty* Zombies map in *Black Ops 6*, fans are thrilled to see the return of the iconic Wonder Weapon, the Staff of Ice, originally from *Black Ops II*'s Origins map. Here's your comprehensive guide on how to obtain the Staff of Ice on The Tomb.

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 gather three specific parts. This method remains in *Black Ops 6*, but there's an exciting twist for those eager to dive into the action on The Tomb: you can now also obtain the Staff of Ice directly from the Mystery Box. However, this method depends heavily on RNG (Random Number Generator) luck. While using the "Wunderbar!" GobbleGum can slightly improve your chances, it's no guarantee, especially with the Ray Gun also in the mix. For those who prefer a surer path, 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 first part you'll need is the Monocle, which is the easiest to obtain. In a match on The Tomb, the Monocle is dropped by the first Shock Mimic you kill. Simply approach the Monocle after defeating the Shock Mimic and press the interact button to add it to your inventory.

The next two parts, the Head Piece and the Staff itself, involve similar steps and require you to solve puzzles and survive lockdowns. These can be obtained in any order.

To secure the Staff of Ice's Head Piece, navigate to the Neolithic Catacombs. Here, you'll find a wall with a cave painting. To reveal the symbols on this wall, you must light it up using the Dark Aether lanterns scattered around the area. Shoot a lantern with purple fire, and after a short time, the fire will move to another lantern. Continue this process until the lantern closest to the painted wall is lit, illuminating the symbols.

If the lanterns haven't spawned yet, visit the Dark Aether Nexus and return. If they're still absent, you might need to progress a few rounds.

The symbols on the wall represent Roman Numerals. Shoot them in ascending order from I to X. This step is forgiving; if you miss, you can resume from the last correct symbol. Use a bullet weapon to avoid accidentally hitting multiple symbols with splash damage.

Once you've shot the symbols correctly, a constellation will light up, triggering a lockdown. Survive the onslaught of zombies and special enemies during this period. Completing the lockdown will allow you to collect the Staff of Ice Head Piece from the mural wall.

The final piece, the Staff itself, is found in the Tombs room. Similar to the Head Piece, you'll need to manipulate the lanterns to move the purple fire to the correct location near the Bull Mural. Once the wall is illuminated, shoot the Roman Numerals in order from I to VIII. This action will also trigger a lockdown. Survive it, and you'll be able to collect the Staff piece.

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 through the Door to Nowhere. At the central structure, interact to place the Monocle, Head Piece, and Staff. This action will initiate a fierce attack from zombies, special, and possibly elite enemies, all trying to disrupt the assembly process. Defend the Staff diligently, using perks, upgraded weapons, and strategic GobbleGums like Kill Joy and Free Fire to enhance your defense.

Successfully defending the Staff will result in its assembly, ready for you to wield in your battle against the undead.

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