With the introduction of an all-new *Call of Duty* Zombies map in *Black Ops 6*, fans can now wield the returning Staff of Ice, originally from the Origins map in *Black Ops II*. Here's a detailed guide on how to obtain the Ice Staff in 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. This tradition continues in *Black Ops 6*, but there's an exciting twist for The Tomb: the Staff of Ice can now be obtained directly from the Mystery Box. However, this method relies heavily on luck, as the Mystery Box contains other powerful weapons like the Ray Gun. You can increase your chances with the "Wunderbar!" GobbleGum, but it's not a sure thing. For a guaranteed acquisition, follow these steps to build the Staff of Ice yourself.

The next two parts, the Head Piece and the Staff Piece, involve similar steps but can be acquired in any order. To get the Head Piece, navigate to the Neolithic Catacombs. Here, you'll need to illuminate a cave painting with Dark Aether lanterns. Shoot the lanterns with purple fire until the one closest to the painting lights up, revealing Roman Numerals. Shoot the symbols in ascending order from I to X. Completing this correctly will trigger a lockdown; survive it, and the Head Piece will be available to collect at the mural.

With all three parts in hand, proceed to the Dark Aether Nexus through the Door to Nowhere. At the central structure, use the interact button to place the Monocle, Head Piece, and Staff Piece. You'll then need to defend the assembling Staff from waves of zombies, special, and potentially elite enemies. Stock up on perks, upgrade your weapons, and consider using GobbleGums like Kill Joy and Free Fire to aid in your defense. Successfully defend the Staff, and it will be yours to wield.
And that's how you obtain the Staff of Ice on The Tomb in *Black Ops 6* Zombies.
