How to Obtain the Ice Staff in Black Ops 6 Zombies' Tomb

With the introduction of an exciting new *Call of Duty* Zombies map, players can now wield the iconic Staff of Ice, returning from its debut in *Black Ops II* Origins, now in *Black Ops 6* Zombies. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to acquire the Staff of Ice in 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 parts to assemble the weapon. This method remains in *Black Ops 6*, but fans eager to jump straight into action in The Tomb will be thrilled to know that the Staff of Ice can also be obtained directly from the Mystery Box. However, this is contingent on RNG luck. Players can enhance their chances using the "Wunderbar!" GobbleGum, though this doesn't guarantee the Staff of Ice, as the Ray Gun is also in the mix. To bypass the luck factor entirely, here’s how to build the Staff of Ice.

Similar to its predecessor in *Black Ops II*, crafting the Staff of Ice in *Black Ops 6* requires collecting three distinct parts. The first part, the Monocle, is the easiest to obtain within a match. It drops from the first Shock Mimic you kill in The Tomb. Simply walk over to the Monocle after defeating the Shock Mimic and press the interact button to add it to your inventory.

The next two pieces, the Head Piece and the Staff itself, involve similar unlock processes, requiring puzzle-solving and surviving lockdowns. These pieces can be collected in any order.

To obtain the Staff of Ice's Head Piece, navigate to the Neolithic Catacombs. Here, you need to interact with a wall featuring a cave painting. If the wall lacks illumination, you'll need to light up the area using the Dark Aether lanterns scattered around the Catacombs. Shoot a lantern with purple fire, and after a short while (typically at the start of the next round), the fire will move to another lantern. Once the lantern nearest the painted wall is lit, the symbols on the wall become visible.

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

The next step involves shooting the symbols in the correct sequence. These symbols represent Roman Numerals and must be shot from I to X in ascending order. This step is forgiving, allowing you to resume from the last correctly shot numeral if you make a mistake. Use a bullet weapon to avoid errors from splash or explosive damage.

Upon successfully completing this sequence, a constellation on the wall will fully illuminate, triggering a lockdown. Survive this onslaught of zombies and special enemies, ideally on a lower round with adequate armor, perks, and a Pack-a-Punched weapon. Once the lockdown ends, you can collect the Staff of Ice Head Piece from the mural and constellation wall.

The final piece, the Staff itself, is obtained similarly. Head to the Tombs room and manipulate the lanterns until the purple fire reaches the lantern closest to the Bull Mural, where the bull is depicted charging left at Romans. This action will illuminate the wall with Roman Numerals, which you must shoot in ascending order from I to VIII. Completing this correctly will trigger another lockdown. Survive it to obtain the Staff of Ice piece, ready to be assembled in the Dark Aether Nexus.

With all parts in hand, proceed to the Dark Aether Nexus through the Door to Nowhere. Approach the central structure and place the Monocle, Head Piece, and Staff by holding the interact button. This action will trigger a zombie onslaught aimed at disrupting the assembly process. Defend the Staff with upgraded weapons, perks, and strategic use of GobbleGums like Kill Joy and Free Fire to maximize your damage output.

Successfully defending the Staff of Ice will result in its complete assembly, ready for you to wield.

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