"Unlocking the Ice Staff in Black Ops 6 Zombies' The Tomb"

With the thrilling addition of a new *Call of Duty* Zombies map, players can now wield the iconic Staff of Ice, previously featured in *Black Ops II* Origins, in *Black Ops 6* Zombies. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to obtain the Staff of Ice in The Tomb.

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

In the original *Black Ops II* Zombies, acquiring the Staff of Ice involved collecting three specific parts. The same principle applies in *Black Ops 6*, but for those eager to dive into the action on The Tomb, there's good news: you can potentially obtain the Staff of Ice directly from the Mystery Box. However, this method depends heavily on your luck with Random Number Generators (RNG). Using the "Wunderbar!" GobbleGum might increase your chances, though it's no guarantee due to the presence of other powerful items like the Ray Gun in the box. To ensure you get the Staff of Ice without relying on luck, follow the steps below to build it yourself.

How To Get the Staff of Ice Monocle on The Tomb in Black Ops 6 Zombies

Similar to its predecessor in *Black Ops II*, assembling the new Staff of Ice requires collecting three parts. The first part, the Monocle, is typically the easiest to acquire within a match. It's dropped by the first Shock Mimic you kill in The Tomb. Simply approach the Monocle after defeating the Shock Mimic and press the interact button to add it to your inventory.

The next two parts, including the Head Piece, involve similar but separate puzzles and require surviving a lockdown. These parts can be obtained in any order.

To get the Head Piece, navigate to the Neolithic Catacombs section of the map. Locate the wall adorned with a cave painting and shoot the sections of the lit wall. If the wall isn't lit, illuminate it using the Dark Aether lanterns scattered around the Catacombs. Shoot a lantern with purple fire, and wait for it to respawn in a different lantern, ideally the one closest to the painted wall.

Once lit, shoot the symbols on the wall in the correct order, following Roman Numerals from I to X. This step is forgiving; if you miss a number, you can continue from the last correct hit. Use a bullet weapon to avoid messing up with splash damage.

Upon completing this correctly, a constellation will illuminate on the wall, triggering a lockdown. Survive the onslaught of zombies and special enemies during this period, ensuring you're equipped with armor, perks, and possibly a Pack-a-Punched weapon. After the lockdown, the Head Piece will be available at the mural and constellation.

The final piece, the Staff itself, is obtained similarly to the Head Piece. Head to the Tombs room and manipulate the lanterns until the purple fire reaches the lantern near the Bull Mural, where the bull's head faces left, charging at Romans. The wall will then reveal Roman Numerals, which you must shoot in ascending order from I to VIII.

Successfully completing this sequence will trigger another lockdown. Survive it to claim the Staff Piece, which you can then bring to the Dark Aether Nexus for assembly.

With all parts collected, proceed to the Dark Aether Nexus through the Door to Nowhere. Approach the central structure and interact to place the Monocle, Head Piece, and Staff Piece. This action will trigger an intense zombie attack aimed at disrupting the assembly process. Defend the Staff of Ice using perks, upgraded weapons, and strategic GobbleGums like Kill Joy and Free Fire to boost your damage.

If you successfully fend off the enemies, the Staff of Ice will be fully assembled and ready for use.

And that’s how you secure the Staff of Ice on The Tomb in Black Ops 6 Zombies.
