The Tomb, the newest map in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies, is packed with Easter eggs and puzzles. One particularly challenging puzzle involves a Bull mural, crucial for obtaining powerful weaponry, including the Ice Staff. This guide will walk you through solving it.
Solving the Bull Mural Puzzle in Black Ops 6 Zombies: The Tomb

The Bull Mural puzzle is a key step in acquiring the Ice Staff Wonder Weapon in The Tomb. Completing it yields one of three necessary components. Located in the Tombs section—accessible after opening the tomb door from the starting area—the mural awaits.
Before tackling the Bull Mural, you must Pack-a-Punch a weapon and eliminate a Shock Mimic to obtain a Monocle, a prerequisite for the Ice Staff assembly. With the Monocle in hand, head to the rightmost side of the Tombs area, where you'll find purple lanterns.
Shoot all the purple lanterns until the light in front of the Bull Mural glows. Eight Roman numeral symbols will then illuminate on the bull. The puzzle requires shooting these numerals in numerical order, from one to eight.

Successfully shooting the symbols triggers a wave-based challenge. A purple orb appears, guiding you through different rooms where special zombies must be eliminated. This process repeats five times in various locations within The Tomb, posing a significant challenge, especially in solo play. Teams will find this much faster.
Regardless of your team size, Pack-a-Punched weapons and ample Essence are essential for survival. Consistent ammo replenishment between room transitions is crucial, as armored and special zombies will appear. After surviving all waves, the Ice Staff body part will drop, bringing you closer to completing the Wonder Weapon. Then, it's on to the next mural and puzzle step.
