Frozen Staff Found in Shadowed Tomb

Unleash the chilling power of the Staff of Ice in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies' new map, The Tomb! This iconic Wonder Weapon, originally featured in Black Ops II's Origins, is ready to freeze your foes. Here's how to acquire it.

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

While the Staff of Ice, unlike its Black Ops II counterpart, can be found within The Tomb's Mystery Box, relying on sheer luck is risky. The Ray Gun is also a possibility, making the odds unfavorable. Using the "Wunderbar!" GobbleGum increases your chances, but it's not a guaranteed win. For a more reliable method, build it yourself!

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

The Staff of Ice requires three components. Let's break down how to obtain each:

Acquiring the Monocle

The Monocle is the easiest piece to obtain. Eliminate the first Shock Mimic you encounter in a match; the Monocle will drop, ready to be collected.

Obtaining the Head Piece

The Head Piece and Staff Piece acquisition methods are similar, involving puzzles and lockdowns. The order doesn't matter.

To get the Head Piece, locate the wall with the cave painting in the Neolithic Catacombs. Activate the wall by lighting the Dark Aether lanterns (shoot the lanterns with purple fire; the fire will respawn in a different lantern after a short time). Once the lantern nearest the wall is lit, Roman numerals will appear. Shoot them in ascending order (I to 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 Piece

For the Staff Piece, navigate to the Tombs room. Again, illuminate the Bull Mural (head facing left) by strategically lighting the lanterns near it. Shoot the Roman numerals in ascending order (I to VIII). A lockdown ensues; survive to obtain the Staff Piece.

Assembling the Staff of Ice

With all three parts secured, proceed to the Dark Aether Nexus. Place the components on the central structure. A wave of enemies will attack; defend the Staff until it's fully assembled. Utilize perks, upgraded weapons, and GobbleGums like Kill Joy and Free Fire for optimal defense.

Congratulations! You now possess the Staff of Ice.
