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

If you're diving into the thrilling world of *Call of Duty: Black Ops 6* Zombies, you'll be excited to know that the iconic Staff of Ice from *Black Ops II* Origins has made a triumphant return. Here's your comprehensive guide to acquiring the Staff of Ice on the new map, The Tomb.

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

Originally, in *Black Ops II* Zombies, the Staff of Ice required players to gather three specific parts to construct the weapon. The good news is that this method remains in *Black Ops 6*, but for those eager to jump straight into the action on The Tomb, there's an alternative. You can actually obtain the Staff of Ice directly from the Mystery Box, though it's heavily dependent on RNG luck. Using the "Wunderbar!" GobbleGum might tilt the odds in your favor, but remember, the Ray Gun is also in the mix, so it's not a guaranteed win. For a sure-fire approach, follow our guide to build the Staff of Ice without leaving it up to chance.

The next two parts—the Head Piece and the Staff itself—involve similar steps and require surviving a lockdown. Head to the Neolithic Catacombs to find the Head Piece. You'll need to illuminate a cave painting using the Dark Aether lanterns scattered around. Shoot a lantern with purple fire until it moves to the one closest to the painting. If the lanterns aren't present, visit the Dark Aether Nexus and return, or progress a few rounds.

Once the wall is lit, shoot the symbols in the order of Roman Numerals from I to X. This task is forgiving, allowing you to resume from the last correct shot if you make a mistake. Use a bullet weapon to avoid complications from splash or explosive damage. Successfully completing this will light up a constellation on the wall, triggering a lockdown. Survive the onslaught of zombies and special enemies, and you'll be rewarded with the Head Piece at the mural.
