The latest *Call of Duty* Zombies map in *Black Ops 6* introduces the return of the iconic Staff of Ice, originally featured in *Black Ops II* Zombies' Origins map. Here's your guide to obtaining the Staff of Ice on 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. The same rule applies in *Black Ops 6*, but fans eager to jump straight into the action will be excited to learn that the Staff of Ice can also be obtained directly from the Mystery Box on The Tomb. However, this method depends heavily on luck, as it's influenced by the Random Number Generator (RNG). You can increase your chances by using the "Wunderbar!" GobbleGum, though it's no guarantee, especially with the Ray Gun also in the mix. To bypass the randomness, here's how to build the Staff of Ice yourself.

The next two parts, the Head Piece and the Staff itself, involve similar processes and can be acquired in any order. To get the Head Piece, navigate to the Neolithic Catacombs. Here, you'll need to find a wall with a cave painting and shoot the symbols on it, which are lit up by Dark Aether lanterns. If the lanterns aren't visible, visit the Dark Aether Nexus and return, or progress a few rounds.
The symbols represent Roman numerals and must be shot in ascending order from I to X. Use a bullet weapon to avoid mistakes caused by splash or explosive damage. Successfully completing this will light up a constellation, triggering a lockdown. Survive the onslaught of zombies and special enemies, and the Head Piece will be yours to collect from the mural wall.

With all parts in hand, head to the Dark Aether Nexus via the Door to Nowhere. At the central structure, place the Monocle, Head Piece, and Staff piece by holding the interact button. This action will trigger a wave of zombies, special, and possibly elite enemies trying to disrupt the assembly process. Defend the Staff long enough for it to be assembled, utilizing perks, upgraded weapons, and GobbleGums like Kill Joy and Free Fire to enhance your defense.
Once the Staff of Ice is successfully assembled, it's ready for you to wield and enjoy its powerful effects.
And that's how to get the Staff of Ice on The Tomb in *Black Ops 6* Zombies.
