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

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 it.

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

While the Staff of Ice, like its Black Ops II counterpart, requires three parts, you can get lucky and find it in The Tomb's Mystery Box. However, this relies entirely on chance, with the Ray Gun also competing for a slot. Using the "Wunderbar!" GobbleGum improves your odds, but doesn't guarantee success. Building the Staff offers a more reliable method.

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

Obtaining the Staff of Ice Monocle

The first part, the Monocle, drops from the first Shock Mimic you eliminate in a match. Simply interact with it to add it to your inventory.

Obtaining the Staff of Ice Head Piece

The Head Piece and Staff require solving similar puzzles and surviving lockdowns. These can be acquired in any order. For the Head Piece, locate the cave painting in the Neolithic Catacombs. If the wall isn't illuminated, use the Dark Aether lanterns to light the area near the painting. Shoot the Roman numerals in ascending order (I-X). A successful sequence triggers a lockdown; survive it to claim the Head Piece. If lanterns haven't spawned, visit the Dark Aether Nexus and return.

Obtaining the Staff of Ice Staff Piece

The Staff Piece is obtained similarly in the Tombs room. Illuminate the Bull Mural (head facing left) using the lanterns. Shoot the Roman numerals in ascending order (I-VIII). Survive the ensuing lockdown to obtain the Staff Piece.

Completing the Staff of Ice

With all three parts, proceed to the Dark Aether Nexus. Place the components on the central structure. Defend the Staff during assembly from a wave of enemies. Success grants you the completed Staff of Ice.
