With the exciting addition of a new *Call of Duty* Zombies map comes the thrilling return of a fan-favorite Wonder Weapon. The Staff of Ice, first introduced in *Black Ops II* in the Origins map, makes a comeback in *Black Ops 6* Zombies on The Tomb. Here’s how you can acquire the Ice Staff in this new setting.
Can You Get the Staff of Ice from the Mystery Box on The Tomb? Answered
Originally, acquiring the Staff of Ice in *Black Ops II* required collecting three specific parts to craft the weapon. This method holds true in *Black Ops 6* as well. However, fans eager to dive into the action on The Tomb will be excited to learn that the Staff of Ice can indeed be obtained directly from the Mystery Box. Be aware, though, that this method depends heavily on luck, as the odds are influenced by RNG. Using the “Wunderbar!” GobbleGum might tilt the chances in your favor, but remember, the Ray Gun is also in the mix, making the outcome less certain. For those who prefer certainty over chance, let's explore how to build the Staff of Ice step-by-step.

Much like its predecessor, the Staff of Ice in *Black Ops 6* requires players to gather three parts. The first and most accessible part is the Monocle, which drops from the first Shock Mimic you kill in a match on The Tomb. Simply approach the Monocle after the kill and press the interact button to add it to your inventory.

The next two parts, the Head Piece and the Staff itself, follow a similar pattern of unlocking. These can be acquired in any order. To obtain the Head Piece, navigate to the Neolithic Catacombs section of the map. You'll need to find a wall adorned with a cave painting and shoot the lit sections in the correct sequence. If the wall isn't illuminated, use the Dark Aether lanterns with purple fire around the area. Shoot one lantern, and the fire will move to another after a round or two. Once the lantern near the painted wall is lit, the symbols (Roman numerals) will become visible.
Shoot the symbols in ascending order from I to X. If you make a mistake, you can continue from the last correct shot. Be cautious to use a bullet weapon to avoid messing up the sequence with splash damage. Completing this correctly will light up a constellation on the wall, triggering a lockdown. Survive this onslaught of zombies and special enemies to claim the Head Piece from the mural.

The final piece, the Staff itself, is found in the Tombs room. Again, manipulate the lanterns with purple fire until it reaches the correct location near the Bull Mural. The mural shows a bull charging left at Romans. Once the wall illuminates, shoot the Roman numerals from I to VIII. This action triggers another lockdown; survive it to secure the Staff piece. With all parts in hand, head to the Dark Aether Nexus.
How To Finish the Staff of Ice on The Tomb in Black Ops 6 Zombies
With all three parts collected, open the Door to Nowhere if not already done, and proceed to the Dark Aether Nexus. At the central structure, place the Monocle, Head Piece, and Staff by holding the interact button. This initiates a defensive sequence where you must protect the assembling Staff of Ice from waves of zombies, special, and potentially elite enemies. Arm yourself with perks, upgraded weapons, and consider using GobbleGums like Kill Joy and Free Fire to boost your damage output.
Successfully defend the Staff long enough, and it will be fully assembled, ready for you to wield its icy power.
And that's how you can obtain the Staff of Ice on The Tomb in *Black Ops 6* Zombies.
*Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.*
