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 a competitor!), crafting it guarantees success.

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

Yes, but it's RNG-dependent. The "Wunderbar!" GobbleGum can improve your odds, but it's not a sure thing. Crafting offers a guaranteed 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.

1. Obtaining the Monocle:

This is the easiest piece. Simply eliminate the first Shock Mimic encountered in a match; the Monocle will be dropped.

2. Obtaining the Head Piece:

  • Locate the wall with the cave painting in the Neolithic Catacombs.
  • If the wall isn't illuminated, activate Dark Aether lanterns until one is near the mural.
  • Shoot the Roman numerals (I-X) in ascending order. Incorrect shots won't reset progress.
  • Survive the ensuing lockdown.
  • Collect the Head Piece from the wall.

3. Obtaining the Staff Piece:

  • Go to the Tombs room.
  • Use the lanterns to illuminate the Bull Mural (facing left).
  • Shoot the Roman numerals (I-VIII) in ascending order.
  • Survive the lockdown.
  • Retrieve the Staff Piece.

4. Assembling the Staff of Ice:

Once you have all three components, proceed to the Dark Aether Nexus. Place the parts on the central structure. Defend the Staff during assembly against a wave of enemies. Success yields the completed Staff of Ice.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
