How to Obtain the Ice Staff in Black Ops 6 Zombies' Tomb

The latest *Call of Duty* Zombies map introduces an exciting addition: the Staff of Ice, returning from *Black Ops II*'s Origins. Now available in *Black Ops 6* Zombies, here's your comprehensive guide to acquiring the Ice Staff on The Tomb.

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

In the original *Black Ops II* Zombies, crafting the Staff of Ice required collecting three specific parts. *Black Ops 6* follows suit, but there's good news for those eager to dive into the action: you can now also obtain the Staff of Ice directly from the Mystery Box on The Tomb. However, this method depends heavily on RNG luck. Even with the "Wunderbar!" GobbleGum to influence the odds, there's no guarantee of getting the Staff of Ice, especially with the Ray Gun also in the mix. For those who prefer a surer path, here's how to build the Staff of Ice without relying on luck.

The next two parts—the Head Piece and the Staff itself—involve similar puzzles and surviving lockdowns. These can be obtained in any order.

To acquire the Head Piece, navigate to the Neolithic Catacombs. Locate the wall adorned with a cave painting and shoot the lit sections. If the wall isn't illuminated, you'll need to light up the area using the Dark Aether lanterns. Shoot a lantern with purple fire until it relocates to the one nearest the painted wall. Once lit, you'll see Roman Numerals on the wall. Shoot them in ascending order from I to X. Mistakes are forgiving; you can resume from the last correct number. After successfully shooting the numerals, a constellation will light up, triggering a lockdown. Survive the onslaught of zombies and special enemies, and the Head Piece will be yours at the mural.

Once illuminated, shoot the Roman Numerals in order from I to VIII. This will trigger another lockdown. Endure it, and the Staff piece will be ready to collect.
