The excitement of a new *Call of Duty* Zombies map brings with it the thrilling addition of a new Wonder Weapon. Returning from its debut in *Black Ops II* Origins, the Staff of Ice is now ready to be wielded in *Black Ops 6* Zombies on The Tomb. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to obtain the Ice Staff on this new map.
Can You Get the Staff of Ice from the Mystery Box on The Tomb? Answered
In the original *Black Ops II* Zombies, acquiring the Staff of Ice involved collecting three parts to craft it. The same applies in *Black Ops 6*, but players eager to jump into the action on The Tomb will be delighted to know that the Staff of Ice can also be obtained directly from the Mystery Box. However, this method relies heavily on RNG luck. Using the “Wunderbar!” GobbleGum might increase your chances, but there's no guarantee, especially since the Ray Gun is also in the mix. For those who prefer certainty over chance, here’s how to build the Staff of Ice yourself.

The journey to crafting the Staff of Ice begins with the Monocle, which is the easiest part to obtain. In a match on The Tomb, the Monocle will drop from the first Shock Mimic you defeat. Simply walk over to the Monocle after the kill and press the interact button to add it to your inventory.

The next two parts of the Staff of Ice, the Head Piece and the Staff itself, require similar steps and can be obtained in any order. To get the Head Piece, navigate to the Neolithic Catacombs section of the map. Here, you'll need to locate the cave painting on a wall and shoot the lit sections in the correct order. If the wall isn't lit, you'll need to light it by shooting the Dark Aether lanterns with purple fire. The fire will move to a different lantern after some time, so keep an eye on it until it's near the painted wall.
The symbols on the wall represent Roman Numerals, which you must shoot in ascending order from I to X. If you miss, you can resume from the last correct symbol. After successfully completing this, a constellation will light up, triggering a lockdown. Survive the onslaught of zombies and special enemies to claim the Head Piece from the mural.

Once lit, shoot the Roman Numerals in order from I to VIII. This will trigger another lockdown. Survive it to secure the Staff piece, then head to the Dark Aether Nexus to assemble the Staff of Ice.

Equip yourself with perks, upgraded weapons, and consider using beneficial GobbleGums like Kill Joy and Free Fire to boost your defense.
Successfully defending the Staff will result in its completion, allowing you to wield the powerful Staff of Ice in your battles on The Tomb.
