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

Author : Aurora Update : Mar 21,2025

The new Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies map, The Tomb, introduces a returning Wonder Weapon: the Staff of Ice, originally from Black Ops II's Origins. While you can get lucky and find it in the Mystery Box (boosting your odds with the "Wunderbar!" GobbleGum), this guide details how to reliably craft it.

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

Unlike its Black Ops II counterpart, which required crafting from three parts, the Staff of Ice in Black Ops 6 can indeed be found in the Mystery Box. However, this is entirely RNG-dependent, sharing the box with the Ray Gun. To guarantee acquisition, building it remains the most reliable method.

The Head Piece and Staff pieces require solving similar puzzles followed by surviving a lockdown. They can be obtained in any order.

To obtain the Head Piece, locate the cave painting in the Neolithic Catacombs. You'll need to illuminate the wall using the Dark Aether lanterns. Shoot a lantern with purple fire; it will respawn in a different location after a short time (often at the start of the next round). Once the lantern closest to the painting is lit, the Roman numerals on the wall will become visible. Shoot them in ascending order (I-X). Incorrect shots don't reset progress; simply continue from the last correctly shot numeral. Use a bullet-based weapon to avoid issues with splash or explosive damage. Completing this sequence triggers a lockdown. Survive it to claim the Head Piece. If lanterns haven't spawned, visit the Dark Aether Nexus and return; if still absent, progress a few rounds.

For the Staff piece, go to the Tombs room. Again, illuminate the Bull Mural (head facing left) by strategically lighting the lanterns near it. Shoot the revealed Roman numerals in ascending order (I-VIII). Survive the ensuing lockdown to obtain the Staff piece.

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

With all three pieces, go to the Dark Aether Nexus (accessing the Door to Nowhere if needed). At the central structure, interact to place the components. A wave of enemies will attack; defend the Staff until it's assembled. Use perks, upgraded weapons, and GobbleGums (like Kill Joy and Free Fire) to aid your defense.

Once successfully defended, the Staff of Ice is yours.
