With the introduction of an all-new *Call of Duty* Zombies map in *Black Ops 6*, fans are thrilled to see the return of the iconic Wonder Weapon, the Staff of Ice, originally from *Black Ops II*'s Origins map. Here's your comprehensive 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 players to gather three specific parts. This method remains 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. However, this method depends heavily on RNG (Random Number Generator) luck. While using the "Wunderbar!" GobbleGum can slightly improve your chances, it's no guarantee, especially with the Ray Gun also in the mix. For those who prefer a sure thing, here's how to build the Staff of Ice without relying on luck.

The first part you'll need is the Monocle, which is the easiest to obtain. In a match on The Tomb, the Monocle is dropped by the first Shock Mimic you kill. Simply walk over to the Monocle after defeating the Shock Mimic and press the interact button to add it to your inventory.

The next two parts, the Head Piece and the Staff itself, involve similar puzzles and surviving lockdowns. You can acquire these in any order.
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 short time, usually at the start of the next round. 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 resume from the last correct number. After completing this correctly, a constellation will light up, triggering a lockdown. Survive the onslaught of zombies and special enemies, and you'll find the Head Piece at the mural.

For the Staff Piece, go to the Tombs room. Again, use the lanterns to move the purple fire to the correct location near the Bull Mural, where the bull's head faces left, charging at Romans. Once the wall is illuminated, shoot the Roman Numerals in order from I to VIII. This will trigger another lockdown. Survive it, and you'll be able to collect the Staff Piece, ready to be assembled in the Dark Aether Nexus.
How To Finish the Staff of Ice on The Tomb in Black Ops 6 Zombies
With all parts in hand, head to the Dark Aether Nexus through the Door to Nowhere. At the central structure, place the Monocle, Head Piece, and Staff Piece 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 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 boost your defense.
Once successfully defended, the Staff of Ice will be yours to wield.
And that's how to get the Staff of Ice on The Tomb in *Black Ops 6* Zombies.
