How to Unlock the Ice Staff in Black Ops 6 Zombies

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, covering both the Mystery Box method and the crafting process.

Can You Find the Staff of Ice in the Mystery Box?

While the Staff of Ice can randomly appear in The Tomb's Mystery Box, relying on this method is purely a gamble. The Ray Gun also competes for the same slot, making the odds significantly lower. Using the "Wunderbar!" GobbleGum increases your chances, but it's still not a guaranteed acquisition. For a more reliable approach, crafting remains the superior option.

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. These can be obtained in any order.

1. Obtaining the Monocle:

The Monocole

Eliminate the first Shock Mimic encountered in your game. The Monocle will drop upon its defeat. Interact with it to add it to your inventory.

2. Obtaining the Head Piece:

The Head Piece

Navigate to the Neolithic Catacombs. Locate the wall with the cave painting. If the wall isn't illuminated, activate the Dark Aether lanterns in the area by shooting them. Once the lantern nearest the painting is lit, Roman numerals (I-X) will appear. Shoot them in ascending order. Completing this sequence triggers a lockdown. Survive the lockdown to claim the Head Piece.

3. Obtaining the Staff Piece:

The Staff Piece

Proceed to the Tombs room. Similar to the Head Piece acquisition, manipulate the Dark Aether lanterns until the one closest to the Bull Mural (head facing left) is lit. Shoot the illuminated Roman numerals (I-VIII) in ascending order. Survive the ensuing lockdown to obtain the Staff piece.

4. Assembling the Staff of Ice:

With all three components in your possession, access the Dark Aether Nexus. Interact with the central structure to place the pieces. A wave of enemies will attack; defend the Staff until it's fully assembled. Consider using perks and GobbleGums like Kill Joy and Free Fire to enhance your survival chances.

Congratulations! You now possess the Staff of Ice.
