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

Unlock the Staff of Ice in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies' The Tomb map! This powerful Wonder Weapon, returning from Black Ops II's Origins, can be acquired through two methods: pure luck via the Mystery Box (potentially aided by the "Wunderbar!" GobbleGum), or by crafting it using three components. This guide details the crafting method.

Can You Get the Staff of Ice from the Mystery Box?

Yes, but it's entirely RNG-dependent. The Ray Gun also competes for the same slot, making it a low-probability acquisition.

Crafting the Staff of Ice: A Step-by-Step Guide

The Staff of Ice requires three parts: the Monocle, the Head Piece, and the Staff itself.

1. Obtaining the Monocle:

This is the easiest piece to obtain. Kill the first Shock Mimic encountered in a match. The Monocle will drop; interact with it to add it to your inventory.

2. Obtaining the Head Piece:

• Locate the Mural: Go to the Neolithic Catacombs and find the wall with the cave painting. Note that the symbols may be invisible initially.
• Illuminate the Mural: Use the Dark Aether lanterns. Shoot a lantern with purple fire; after a short delay, the fire will respawn in another lantern. Repeat until the lantern nearest the mural is lit, revealing Roman numerals. If lanterns haven't spawned, visit the Dark Aether Nexus and return.
• Solve the Puzzle: Shoot the Roman numerals in ascending order (I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X). Incorrect shots won't reset progress; simply continue from the last correctly hit numeral. Use a bullet weapon; splash or explosive damage can disrupt the sequence.
• Survive the Lockdown: A lockdown will initiate upon completing the puzzle. Defend yourself until it ends to claim the Head Piece.

3. Obtaining the Staff Piece:

• Locate the Mural: Go to the Tombs room and find the Bull Mural (bull facing left).
• Illuminate the Mural: Use the Dark Aether lanterns as described above to illuminate the Roman numerals on the wall.
• Solve the Puzzle: Shoot the Roman numerals in ascending order (I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII).
• Survive the Lockdown: A lockdown will initiate upon completing the puzzle. Defend yourself until it ends to claim the Staff Piece.

4. Assembling the Staff of Ice:

Once you have all three parts, go to the Dark Aether Nexus. Interact with the central structure to place the components. Defend the Staff from the ensuing zombie onslaught until it's fully assembled.
