Dive into the chilling new world of *Call of Duty: Black Ops 6* Zombies with the iconic Staff of Ice, a fan-favorite Wonder Weapon that originally debuted in *Black Ops II*'s Origins map. Now, you can wield this powerful tool in The Tomb map. Here's everything you need to know about obtaining the Staff of Ice in *Black Ops 6* Zombies.
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 hunt down three specific parts. Fortunately, *Black Ops 6* offers a shortcut: you can try your luck with the Mystery Box in The Tomb. However, this method hinges on RNG, and even with the "Wunderbar!" GobbleGum boosting your odds, there's no guarantee you'll snag the Staff of Ice— especially with the Ray Gun also in the mix. For a surefire way to get the weapon, you'll need to collect and assemble the parts yourself.

Next up, you'll need to obtain the Head Piece. Navigate to the Neolithic Catacombs section of the map. Here, you'll encounter a wall adorned with a cave painting. To reveal the Roman Numeral symbols on the wall, you'll need to illuminate it using the Dark Aether lanterns found around the area. Shoot a lantern with purple fire, and it will eventually move to a new location, ideally near the painted wall. Once the wall is lit, shoot the symbols in ascending order, starting from I up to X. Be precise, as only bullet weapons will do; explosive or splash damage can ruin your progress.
Upon correctly completing this sequence, a constellation will light up, triggering a lockdown. Survive the onslaught of zombies and special enemies until the lockdown ends, and you'll be able to collect the Staff of Ice Head Piece from the mural.

With all three pieces in hand, proceed to the Dark Aether Nexus. Open the Door to Nowhere if you haven't already, and approach the central structure. Interact to place the Monocle, Head Piece, and Staff Piece, which will trigger a final defense. Zombies, special enemies, and possibly even elites will spawn, attempting to destroy the assembling Staff. Stock up on perks, upgrade your weapons, and use beneficial GobbleGums like Kill Joy and Free Fire to bolster your defense.
Successfully defend the Staff, and you'll be rewarded with the fully assembled Staff of Ice, ready for use in your battles against the undead hordes.
