How to Complete The Tomb Main Quest Easter Egg in Black Ops 6 Zombies Walkthrough

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies welcomed The Tomb in Season 2, and its Main Quester Egg is another difficult endeavor. It’s tricky, like any CoD Zombies Easter Egg, but I’m here to guide you to glory and help you beat the boss.

Black Ops 6 has offered Zombies fans one slice of utterly irresistible and undead piece of cake after another. Liberty Falls and Terminus got us underway, and Citadelle des Morts joined soon after. 2025 barely started before Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 2 had us excavating sacred ground in The Tomb.

Even though the Zombies actors are probably now AI, a fresh Main Quest Easter Egg awaits in The Tomb. As does a series of consulted, neverending steps to complete the process. Let’s get started.

How to Beat The Tomb Easter Egg in Black Ops 6 Zombies

You need to assemble the Staff of Ice Wonder Weapon, upgrade it, complete several statue trials, and kill the Sentinel Artifact boss in The Tomb Zombies to beat the Easter Egg in Black Ops 6.

How to Assemble The Ice Staff Wonder Weapon in The Tomb Zombies

1. Start a game of The Tomb.
2. Reach the main objective area with the “Open the Doorway to Nowhere” task.
3. Go to the pedestal and hold reload on it to trigger spawning portals.
4. Purple Crystals suddenly pop up all over The Tomb map, meaing it’s time to obtain the Staff of Ice.
5. You can either get lucky and pull it from the Mystery Box, use the Wonderbar Gobblegum to gain a Wonder Weapon (possibly the Ice Staff), or you need to build it.
6. We have a full, detailed guide on how to build the Staff of Ice Wonder Weapon.
7. Now we have it, we need to upgrade it.

How To Upgrade The Staff of Ice in The Tomb Easter Egg

1. Head into the undergound Subterranean Temple area.
2. Around this area and its connecting rooms, use the Staff of Ice to shoot three Purple Crystals in quick succession—it’s believed to be about 10 seconds, but that’s unconfirmed.
3. Do this correctly and a prompt appears with dialogue from a character called Archibald.
4. Head back into the Dark Aether Nexus and look up at the floating rocks.
5. Three of them have small, glowing purple symbols on them, and you need to hit them with Staff of Ice shots.
6. Write down or remember the symbols on the rocks.
7. Another quote should occur, and you now need to check the four Portal doors connecting the two worlds.
8. One of them is now closed, so leave the Dark Aether Nexus, and go to the now-closed Portal.
9. It should have several runes on it, and you need to shoot the three symbols—matching those of the three you shot in the Dark Aether Nexus—with the Staff of Ice.
10. The Portal reopens if you’ve shot the correct runes, so head inside it.
11. You are now on a rock way above the ground, and you need to hold reload on the purple orb in front of you.
12. Follow the orb, shoot all the Zombies on the way, and keep doing this until it reach the rock formation where we crafted the Staff of Ice.
13. Make sure the staff is equipped, go up to the hole filled in with the orb, and hold reload on the orb.
14. The staff become’s the Ull’s Arrow, and you move onto the next phase.

How To Complete Statue Trials in The Tomb Zombies

1. Activate Sekhmet’s Vigor on the Staff of Ice: Left on the D-Pad for PlayStation & Xbox or B on PC.
2. Near the Pack-A-Punch machine is a Blue Stone Statue (shaped like a Vermin enemy) and you need to use Sekhmet’s Vigor on the statue.
3. Now, hold reload on the awakened statue to take its energy source.
4. Exit the Dark Aether Nexus through the Blue Portal and head back to The Tomb’s spawn area.
5. Find the corresponding Blue Stone Vermin Statue here, and hold reload to place the energy in the statue.
6. Kill enough enemies in the designated area, and acquire the Amulet Energy from the statue.
7. Head back to the Dark Aether Nexus through any door other than the Blue Portal—do note if you take to much damage, you lose the energy and you need to regain it from the original source.
8. Put the Amulet Energy into the Blue Vermin Statue.
9. Now, find a Yellow Statue (also right next to the PAP machine) and use Sekhmet’s Vigor on it.
10. Take the energy, leave through the Yellow Portal, and place this energy into The Tomb’s Yellow Statue in Shrine of the Hierophants.
11. Waves of enemies trigger, some of which will be consumed by purple energy, and you need to focus on killing them to harvest the energy.
12. Every time you acquire purple energy, put it back into the statue in the middle of the room.
13. Once completed, take the Amulet Energy, don’t take damage, use another different portal to enter the Dark Aether Nexus, and place the Amulet Energy into ther Nexus’ Yellow statue.
14. A Green Statue is close to the PAP Machine, so use Sekhmet’s Vigor on it, take the energy, and leave through the Green Portal.
15. Place is in the Ossuary’s Green Statue, kill the Doppleghasts (and other enemies), take the Amulet Energy, go into the Dark Aether Nexus, and put the source into the Green Statue.
16. Finally, find the Red Statue in the Dark Aether Nexus, use Sekhmet’s Vigor on it, take the energy, and leave through the Red Portal.
17. Use the energy on the Deep Excavation Statue, and complete the newest trial by killing the Amalgam Elite Enemy.
18. Take the newest Amulet Energy, return to the Dark Aether Nexus, and put the energy into the Red Statue.
19. Four stone pillars now activate, and it’s time to stock up on everything: Level 3 PAP Guns, Perks, and everything else to make you as strong and tough as possible as it’s time for the final boss.

How To Activate And Kill The Boss in The Tomb Zombies

1. Go to the rock where all four large purple laser beams are firing at in the Dark Aether Nexus.
2. Hold reload on the altar, causing a bridge to materialize.
3. Journey across the bridge, interact with the Artifact, vote yes (if there’s more than one of you), and the Sentinel Artifact Boss begins.
4. Initially, you need to survive and avoid the orange version of the Sentinel Artifact and evade its beam while killing zombies.
5. Once it turns Purple, focus your attention on dealing damage to the Sentinel Artifact.
6. It’s now a phase-by-phase order of evading the orange form of the Sentinel Artifact(s), and damaging the purple form.
7. When you’ve done enough damage, one of the later phases requires you to kill a Heavy Zombie with an orange Sentinal Artifact in it, so kill it, and destroy its Artifact once you’ve done this.
8. Other different phases include a Doppleghast with an Artifact inside it, a Mimic with an Artifact inside it, and an Amalgam with an Artifact.
9. Kill them all when they appear and destroy the Artifacts.
10. The final phase requires to you destroy the central Sentinal Artifact to destroy the boss once and for all.
11. Warning: If you don’t do this in time, you fail, and you (and any teammates) are eliminated, and you need to start from the very beginning!
12. If you win though, interact with the Artifact in the middle of the area, and you officially complete The Tomb’s Main Quest Easter Egg.

Simple, right? The Tomb’s Main Quest Easter Egg is complex, complicated, and as chaos-inducing as any in CoD Zombies history. I sincerely hope you don’t get to the end and fall at the final fatal hurdle. Let me know how you got on, and which part gave you the most trouble.
