"Unlocking the Staff of Ice in Black Ops 6 Zombies: The Tomb Guide"

With the introduction of an exciting new *Call of Duty* Zombies map in *Black Ops 6*, players can once again wield the powerful Staff of Ice, a fan-favorite Wonder Weapon from the *Black Ops II* map, Origins. If you're eager to harness the icy power on The Tomb, here's everything you need to know about obtaining the Staff of Ice.

Can You Get the Staff of Ice from the Mystery Box on The Tomb? Answered

In *Black Ops II*, the Staff of Ice required the assembly of three parts. The good news for *Black Ops 6* Zombies players is that the Staff of Ice can be obtained directly from the Mystery Box on The Tomb. However, acquiring it this way depends heavily on RNG luck. Using the "Wunderbar!" GobbleGum might increase your chances, but it doesn't guarantee the Staff of Ice over other high-value items like the Ray Gun. If you prefer to bypass luck, follow these steps to build the Staff of Ice yourself.

The next two parts, the Head Piece and the Staff itself, involve similar puzzles and surviving lockdowns. You can acquire these pieces in any order.

For the Head Piece, navigate to the Neolithic Catacombs. Locate the wall with the cave painting, which you'll need to illuminate using the Dark Aether lanterns scattered around. Shoot a lantern with purple fire, and wait for it to respawn in a different lantern until it lights up the area near the painted wall. If the lanterns aren't spawned, visit the Dark Aether Nexus and return, or progress a few rounds.

Once illuminated, shoot the symbols on the wall in the order of Roman Numerals from I to X. This step is forgiving; if you make a mistake, you can resume from the last correctly hit symbol. Use a bullet weapon to avoid disrupting the sequence with splash or explosive damage. Completing this will light up a constellation, triggering a lockdown. Survive the onslaught of zombies and special enemies, and you'll find the Head Piece at the mural.

Shoot the Roman Numerals in ascending order from I to VIII. This will also trigger a lockdown. Survive it to obtain the Staff piece, which you can then take to the Dark Aether Nexus for assembly.
