In the chaotic world of Zombies Chronicles, powerful staffs stand as formidable weapons capable of turning the tide against hordes of undead.
Among these magical tools, the Origins Ice Staff shines as an ideal choice for novice players, offering simplicity and devastating frozen might. In this article, we will delve into an epic journey through the icy depths as we unravel the secrets of the Origins Ice Staff and its mighty upgrade.
How to Obtain the Ice Staff
To craft the Origins Ice Staff, you’ll first need to acquire a shovel. Shovels can be found at specific locations across the map, including:
- First Generator
- Lightning Cave and Wind Cave
- Church
Getting the Ice Staff Record
Once you have the shovel, head to Generator 2 and locate the Ice Staff Record. This record is an essential part of the staff-building process and is typically found in one of the four corners of Crazy Place.
Obtaining the Ice Staff Parts
To complete the Ice Staff, you’ll need to collect its parts scattered throughout the map. Some parts can be obtained by digging up dirt piles with bones using the shovel, while others are randomly generated in different locations.
Retrieving the Gramophone and Musical Disc
To proceed with crafting the staff, you’ll need the Gramophone and a musical disc.
The Gramophone can be found in the Excavation Site, while the musical disc can be located in the Excavation sign when you first enter No Man’s Land, on top of some crates near the entrance of the church, or in a wheelbarrow in the excavation site.
Crafting the Origins Ice Staff
Once you’ve collected all the required parts, return to the Crazy Place and assemble the Origins Ice Staff at the Elemental Disk.
Upgrading the Ice Staff
The path to true power lies in upgrading the Origins Ice Staff through a puzzling journey in the mysterious Crazy Place.
Solving the Puzzle in the Crazy Place

Reading the Randomized Code on the Pillar
Decoding the ever-changing code on the pillar is a crucial step towards empowering the Origins Ice Staff.
Destroying the Tombstones
Embark on a mission to destroy three tombstones using the enhanced powers of the Ice Staff.
Locations of the Tombstones
Generator 5
This tombstone is located near Generator 5, which is one of the six generator locations on the map.
Excavation Site
The second tombstone can be found at the Excavation Site near the Mound entrance. It’s positioned on a ledge overlooking the excavation area.
Wind Tunnel
The third tombstone is located within the Wind Tunnel, which is part of the Excavation Site. It’s situated near the entrance to the tunnel.
Using the Ice Staff to Destroy the Tombstones
Master the usage of the Ice Staff to shatter the tombstones and clear the path to greatness.
Build and Upgrade the Ice Staff
First, you need to build and upgrade the Ice Staff following the steps outlined above. Once you have the upgraded Ice Staff, you’ll be able to use it to destroy the tombstones.
Locate the Tombstones
There are three tombstones located in specific areas of the map. These tombstones are scattered around the Excavation Site area.
Shoot the Tombstones
With the upgraded Ice Staff equipped, approach each tombstone and use the staff’s primary fire (usually the right trigger on consoles or left mouse button on PC) to shoot at the tombstone. The tombstone will start to crack and eventually shatter.
Access Hidden Areas
Once you’ve destroyed all three tombstones, hidden areas will be revealed. These areas typically contain useful items, such as perks, weapons, or other bonuses. Look for openings in the ground or walls that were previously covered by the tombstones.
Explore and Collect Rewards
Enter the newly revealed areas and explore them to collect the rewards they offer. These rewards can be crucial for surviving the later rounds of the game and progressing further.
Releasing the Blue Orb
To release the blue orb for the Ice Staff upgrade, follow these steps:
Build the Staff of Ice
Obtain the parts necessary to build the Ice Staff. These parts are usually scattered around the map and can be found in various locations.
Fill the Crystal
Once you have built the Staff of Ice, you need to fill its crystal with souls. To do this, kill zombies near the glowing blue staff pedestal located at the Excavation Site. Keep killing zombies in the area until you see the crystal fully charged with blue energy.
Retrieve the Gramophone
The next step involves getting the Gramophone. This is usually found near the Excavation Site. Pick up the Gramophone and carry it with you.
Head to the Crazy Place
The Crazy Place is a mysterious realm that you can access through portals scattered around the map. You’ll need to enter the Crazy Place that corresponds to the Ice Staff. It’s the one with the blue markings.
Activate the Pillars
Once you’re inside the Crazy Place, you’ll find three blue glowing pillars. Place the Gramophone near one of these pillars and interact with it to activate it. You’ll need to repeat this step for all three pillars.
Rotate the Symbols
After activating the pillars, you’ll notice symbols on the ground and walls. Rotate the symbols using your action button (the same button you use to interact with objects) until they match the symbols on your Staff of Ice. This step requires coordination and observation.
Retrieve the Ice Crystal
After matching the symbols, the blue orb (Ice Crystal) will appear. Pick it up by interacting with it.
Return to the Real World
Leave the Crazy Place and return to the normal map.
Placing the Origins Ice Staff in the Blue Pedestal
After successfully completing the previous steps, place the Origins Ice Staff on the blue pedestal within the Crazy Place. Collect souls by killing zombies in the area to fully upgrade the Ice Staff to Ull’s Arrow.
Obtaining Ull’s Arrow - The Fully Upgraded Origins Ice Staff
Embrace the might of Ull’s Arrow, the fully upgraded Origins Ice Staff, and become a formidable force against the zombie onslaught.
Conclusion
With the newfound knowledge of obtaining and upgrading the Origins Ice Staff, players can wield this powerful weapon with mastery. Embrace the chilling fury of the Ice Staff and pave the way for victory against the relentless undead in Zombies Chronicles.
As you embark on this frozen adventure, remember that the Origins Ice Staff holds the key to survival and success in Call of Duty’s [1] exhilarating zombie world.
