Unlock the Staff of Ice in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies: A Comprehensive Guide

The new Call of Duty Zombies map, The Tomb, introduces a returning Wonder Weapon: the Staff of Ice, originally featured in Black Ops II's Origins. This guide details how to obtain this powerful weapon, addressing the Mystery Box method and providing a step-by-step walkthrough for crafting it.

Can You Find the Staff of Ice in The Tomb's Mystery Box?

While the Staff of Ice can randomly appear in The Tomb's Mystery Box, relying on this method is purely chance-based. Using the "Wunderbar!" GobbleGum increases your odds, but it's not a guaranteed method. To avoid relying on luck, crafting the weapon is the reliable approach.

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

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

Acquiring the Monocle

The Monocle drops from the first Shock Mimic a player eliminates in a match. Simply interact with it to add it to your inventory.

Obtaining the Head Piece

This, and the Staff piece, involve solving a puzzle and surviving a lockdown. The order of acquisition is irrelevant.

Locate the wall with the cave painting in the Neolithic Catacombs. If the wall isn't illuminated, activate Dark Aether lanterns until one is positioned near the painting. Shoot the Roman numerals on the wall in ascending order (I to X). Incorrect shots don't reset progress, allowing for retries. Use a bullet weapon to avoid mishaps from splash or explosive damage. Completing this activates a lockdown. Survive the ensuing zombie onslaught to claim the Head Piece.

Securing the Staff Piece

In the Tombs room, manipulate the Dark Aether lanterns to illuminate the Bull Mural (head facing left). Shoot the Roman numerals (I to VIII) in ascending order. Successfully completing this triggers another lockdown. Survive to obtain the Staff piece.

Assembling the Staff of Ice

With all three components, proceed to the Dark Aether Nexus. Place the parts on the central structure. A wave of enemies will attack; defend the Staff until its assembly completes. Utilize perks, upgraded weapons, and GobbleGums like Kill Joy and Free Fire to enhance your defenses.

Once assembled, the Staff of Ice is yours.
