Unlock the Staff of Ice in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies' The Tomb Map
The Tomb, the latest Call of Duty Zombies map, introduces a new Wonder Weapon: the Staff of Ice, a returning favorite from Black Ops II's Origins. This guide details how to obtain it, both via the Mystery Box and through crafting.
Can You Get the Staff of Ice from the Mystery Box?
Yes, you can obtain the Staff of Ice from The Tomb's Mystery Box. However, this relies heavily on random chance. While the "Wunderbar!" GobbleGum increases your odds, it doesn't guarantee success, as the Ray Gun also competes for the same slot. Crafting provides a more reliable 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:
The Monocle drops from the first Shock Mimic a player eliminates in a match. Simply interact with it to add it to your inventory.
2. Obtaining the Head Piece:
Navigate to the Neolithic Catacombs. Locate the wall with the cave painting. If the wall isn't illuminated, activate Dark Aether lanterns in the area until one is positioned near the mural. This will reveal Roman numerals (I-X). Shoot them in ascending numerical order. Incorrect shots don't reset progress; simply continue from the last correctly hit numeral. Use a standard bullet weapon; splash or explosive damage can disrupt the sequence. Completing this activates a lockdown. Survive the ensuing zombie onslaught to claim the Head Piece.
3. Obtaining the Staff Piece:
Proceed to the Tombs room. Manipulate the Dark Aether lanterns until one illuminates the Bull Mural (facing left). This reveals Roman numerals (I-VIII). Shoot them in ascending order, triggering a lockdown. Survive the lockdown to obtain the Staff piece.
4. Assembling the Staff of Ice:
Access the Dark Aether Nexus. Interact with the central structure, placing all three components. 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 to enhance your survival chances.
Once assembled, the Staff of Ice is yours.
