With the launch of the new *Call of Duty* Zombies map in *Black Ops 6*, fans are excited to see the return of the iconic Staff of Ice from *Black Ops II*'s Origins map. Here's a detailed guide on how to obtain the Staff of Ice on The Tomb map.

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

In *Black Ops II*, acquiring the Staff of Ice required players to gather three specific parts. This method remains the same in *Black Ops 6*, but there's an exciting twist for those eager to jump into the action on The Tomb. You can now also obtain the Staff of Ice directly from the Mystery Box, although this depends heavily 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 there's no guarantee. For those who prefer a surer path, here's how to build the Staff of Ice without relying on luck.

To get the Head Piece, head to the Neolithic Catacombs. Look for the wall with the cave painting. If the wall isn't lit, you'll need to use the Dark Aether lanterns scattered around the area. Shoot a lantern with purple fire, and it will respawn in another lantern after a round or so. Once the lantern nearest to the painted wall is lit, you'll see Roman Numerals on the wall. Shoot them in ascending order from I to X. If you make a mistake, you can continue from the last correct numeral you hit. Use a bullet weapon to avoid messing up the sequence with splash damage.

After correctly shooting the symbols, a constellation will light up, triggering a lockdown. Survive the onslaught of zombies and special enemies during this period. Once the lockdown ends, you can collect the Head Piece from the mural wall.

Again, you'll need to manipulate the lanterns until the purple fire reaches the lantern closest to the Bull Mural, where the bull's head faces left, charging at Romans. Once lit, shoot the Roman Numerals in order from I to VIII. This will trigger another lockdown. Survive it, and you'll find the Staff Piece ready to be picked up.

How To Finish the Staff of Ice on The Tomb in Black Ops 6 Zombies

With all three parts in hand, head to the Dark Aether Nexus through the Door to Nowhere. At the central structure, interact to place the Monocle, Head Piece, and Staff Piece. This action will trigger a wave of zombies, special, and possibly elite enemies trying to disrupt the assembly process. Defend the Staff of Ice until it's fully assembled. Stock up on perks, upgrade your weapons, and consider using GobbleGums like Kill Joy and Free Fire to enhance your defense.

Once successfully defended, the Staff of Ice will be yours to wield.

And that's how you can get the Staff of Ice on The Tomb in *Black Ops 6* Zombies.
