Main Quest
How to Complete the The Tomb Main Quest Easter Egg in Black Ops 6 Zombies
Pack-a-Punch
- Reach the Dark Aether Nexus
- Pack-a-Punch can move between Dark Aether Nexus and Roman Mausoleum
Staff Of Ice
- Kill a Shock Mimic to obtain the Monocle
- You will need to shoot the Aetheric Lantern around the map, one at a time, to guide it to either Tombs or Neolithic Catacombs in order to reveal symbols similar to roman numbers (I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X) in those two rooms.
- In Tombs, move the Aetheric Lantern until it is in front of the mural depicting a bull. Shoot the 8 symbols in a numerical order to create the Taurus constellation. Doing so will trigger a lockdown event with 5 waves of enemies. The Staff part will spawn at the end.
- In Neolithic Catacombs, move the Aetheric Lantern until it is in front of the wall depicting an archer. Shoot the 10 symbols in a numerical order to form the Orion constellation. Doing so will trigger a lockdown event with 5 waves of enemies. The Head Piece part will spawn at the end.
- Return to the Dark Aether Nexus, reach the center of the altar at the top of the mound and interact with it. This will trigger a final lockdown event where you will need to protect the staff from enemies. Once done, the Staff Of Ice will be available to pick up.
Ull's Arrow
- Using the Staff Of Ice, rapidly shoot and freeze 3 purple Aetheric Lanterns in 10 seconds. A quote from Archibald should be played to confirm the step.
- If done correctly, there will 3 floating rocks with a specific symbol on each one in Dark Aether Nexus. Shoot each rock with the Staff Of Ice to lower them down and display the symbol.
- One of the portals will close itself. Go to the opposite side and shoot the same symbols as the ones from the rocks. This will reopen the portal.
- Enter the portal to be teleported to the Dark Aether Nexus. An orb will spawn, interact with it. The orb will start to move around the area and act as a soul box. Every player need to follow the orb otherwise it will fail and might softlock.
- Kill enemies next to the orb while it moves to the altar where the Staff Of Ice was first crafted. If done correctly, The area where you built the Staff Of Ice will be glowing and will have the ability to upgrade any Staff Of Ice.

Gold Armor Vest
- Reach the Dark Aether Nexus and melee two wooden boxes. Each box will drop a human head statue.

- The second Blood Sacrifice will spawn 3 HVT Shock Mimics.
- Once all the HVTs are killed, a $0 Gold Armor Vest wallbuy will appear on the wall next to the bull statues.
