Unlock the Staff of Ice in Black Ops 6 Zombies: A Comprehensive Guide
The Tomb, the newest Call of Duty Zombies map, introduces a returning favorite: the Staff of Ice, originally featured in Black Ops II's Origins. This powerful Wonder Weapon can be acquired in two ways: through sheer luck via the Mystery Box (though the Ray Gun is a competitor) or by assembling its three components. While the Mystery Box method relies on RNG, enhanced by using the "Wunderbar!" GobbleGum, this guide details the guaranteed crafting method.
Can You Get the Staff of Ice from the Mystery Box?
Yes, but it's entirely chance-based.
Crafting the Staff of Ice: A Step-by-Step Guide
The Staff of Ice requires three parts: the Monocle, the Head Piece, and the Staff itself.
1. Obtaining the Monocle:
Eliminate the first Shock Mimic encountered in a match. The Monocle will drop upon its defeat.
2. Acquiring the Head Piece:
- Locate the Mural: Navigate to the Neolithic Catacombs and find 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 mural.
- Solve the Puzzle: Shoot the Roman numerals on the illuminated wall in ascending order (I to X). 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.
- Survive the Lockdown: Completing the puzzle triggers a lockdown. Defend yourself until the lockdown ends. The Head Piece will then appear on the wall.
3. Securing the Staff Piece:
- Locate the Mural: Proceed to the Tombs room and manipulate the Dark Aether lanterns until one illuminates the Bull Mural (bull's head facing left).
- Solve the Puzzle: Shoot the Roman numerals in ascending order (I to VIII).
- Survive the Lockdown: Another lockdown ensues upon puzzle completion. Survive the onslaught to obtain the Staff piece.
4. Assembling the Staff of Ice:
Once all three components are collected, access the Dark Aether Nexus. Place the parts on the central structure. A wave of enemies will attack; defend the assembly process until complete. Consider using GobbleGums like Kill Joy and Free Fire to enhance your survival chances.
Congratulations! You've successfully crafted the Staff of Ice.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
