How to Acquire the Ice Staff in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies

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

The Tomb, the latest Call of Duty Zombies map, introduces a formidable new Wonder Weapon: the Staff of Ice, a returning favorite from Black Ops II's Origins. This guide details how to obtain this powerful weapon, bypassing the reliance on sheer luck from the Mystery Box. While the Mystery Box can drop the Staff of Ice (though the Ray Gun is also a possibility, and the Wunderbar! GobbleGum only increases the odds), crafting it guarantees success.

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

Yes, but it's entirely RNG-dependent. Crafting is the reliable method.

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.

Obtaining the Monocle

The Monocle is the easiest piece to acquire. Simply eliminate the first Shock Mimic encountered in a match; the Monocle will drop upon its defeat.

Obtaining the Head Piece

This requires solving a puzzle in the Neolithic Catacombs. Locate the cave painting; if it's not illuminated, activate a Dark Aether lantern nearby (they respawn after a short delay). Shoot the Roman numerals depicted on the wall in ascending order (I-X). Completing this correctly triggers a lockdown; survive it to claim the Head Piece.

Obtaining the Staff Piece

This process mirrors the Head Piece acquisition. In the Tombs room, manipulate the Dark Aether lanterns to illuminate the Bull Mural. Shoot the Roman numerals (I-VIII) in ascending order. Survive the ensuing lockdown to obtain the Staff piece.

Assembling the Staff of Ice

Once you possess all three components, proceed to the Dark Aether Nexus. Interact with the central structure to place the parts. A wave of enemies will attack; defend the Staff until it's fully assembled. Utilizing perks, upgraded weapons, and GobbleGums like Kill Joy and Free Fire is highly recommended.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can reliably craft the Staff of Ice in Black Ops 6 Zombies' The Tomb map. Good luck, and happy slaying!
