Unlock the Staff of Ice in Black Ops 6 Zombies: A Comprehensive Guide
The new Call of Duty Zombies map, The Tomb, introduces a returning Wonder Weapon: the Staff of Ice, originally featured in Black Ops II's Origins. This guide details how to obtain it, both through the Mystery Box and by crafting it.
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 luck-based. The Ray Gun also competes for the same slot, making it unreliable. Using the "Wunderbar!" GobbleGum increases your chances, but it's not a guaranteed method. Crafting the weapon offers a far more dependable approach.
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.
1. Obtaining the Monocle:
This is the easiest piece to acquire. Eliminate the first Shock Mimic encountered in a match. The Monocle will drop; simply interact with it to add it to your inventory.
2. Acquiring the Head Piece:
Navigate to the Neolithic Catacombs. Locate the wall with the cave painting. If the wall isn't illuminated, activate Dark Aether lanterns in the area until one is positioned near the painting. This will reveal Roman numerals (I-X) on the wall. Shoot them in ascending numerical order. Incorrect shots won't reset progress; simply continue from the last correctly hit numeral. Use a standard bullet weapon to avoid accidental misfires from splash or explosive damage. Completing this sequence triggers a lockdown; survive the ensuing zombie onslaught to obtain the Head Piece.
3. Securing the Staff Piece:
Proceed to the Tombs room. Manipulate the Dark Aether lanterns to illuminate the Bull Mural (head facing left). This reveals another set of Roman numerals (I-VIII). Shoot them in ascending order, triggering another lockdown. Survive to claim the Staff Piece.
4. Assembling the Staff of Ice:
Once you've collected all three components, access the Dark Aether Nexus. Interact with the central structure to place the pieces. A fierce wave of enemies will attack; defend the Staff until it's fully assembled. Utilizing perks, upgraded weapons, and GobbleGums like Kill Joy and Free Fire will significantly aid your defense.
Congratulations! You now possess the Staff of Ice.
