With the exciting addition of a new *Call of Duty* Zombies map in *Black Ops 6*, fans are thrilled to see the return of the iconic Staff of Ice from *Black Ops II*'s Origins. Here's your complete guide on how to obtain the Staff of Ice on The Tomb.
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 collecting three specific parts. Fortunately, in *Black Ops 6*, while the same method applies, players can also try their luck with the Mystery Box on The Tomb. However, snagging the Staff of Ice this way is heavily reliant on RNG. Using the "Wunderbar!" GobbleGum might tilt the odds slightly in your favor, but remember, the Ray Gun is also in the mix, so it's not a guaranteed win. To ensure you get the Staff without relying on luck, follow our detailed guide below on how to build it.

Just like in *Black Ops II*, assembling the Staff of Ice in *Black Ops 6* requires you to gather three parts. The first part, the Monocle, is the easiest to obtain. It drops from the first Shock Mimic you kill in a match on The Tomb. Simply walk over to the Monocle after the kill and use the interact button to add it to your inventory.

The next two parts, the Head Piece and the Staff itself, involve similar steps and require you to solve puzzles and endure lockdowns. You can collect these parts in any order.
To get the Head Piece, head to the Neolithic Catacombs. Find the wall with the cave painting and prepare to shoot the lit sections. If the wall isn't illuminated, you'll need to light it by shooting the Dark Aether lanterns around the area until the one closest to the painting is lit. The symbols on the wall correspond to Roman Numerals, and you must shoot them in ascending order from I to X. Be precise, as incorrect shots won't reset your progress but might make things tricky. Once you've correctly shot the symbols, a constellation will light up, triggering a lockdown. Survive the onslaught of zombies and special enemies to claim the Head Piece from the mural wall.

The final part, the Staff itself, can be found in the Tombs room. Repeat the lantern-lighting process until the purple fire illuminates the Bull Mural. The Roman Numerals will appear, and you need to shoot them in order from I to VIII. This will trigger another lockdown, and upon surviving, you can collect the Staff piece. Head to the Dark Aether Nexus to assemble the Staff of Ice.

With all parts collected, navigate to the Dark Aether Nexus and open the Door to Nowhere if needed. At the central structure, place the Monocle, Head Piece, and Staff by holding the interact button. This action will trigger a wave of zombies, special, and possibly elite enemies trying to disrupt the assembly. Defend the Staff long enough for it to be completed, utilizing perks, upgraded weapons, and strategic GobbleGums like Kill Joy and Free Fire to boost your chances of success.
Once you've successfully defended the Staff of Ice, it will be fully assembled and ready for you to wield in your battles on The Tomb.
And that's the comprehensive guide on how to get the Staff of Ice on The Tomb in *Black Ops 6* Zombies.
