How to solve the painting puzzle in Black Ops 6 The Tomb

When digging deeper into the Tomb, you’ll discover a set of paintings marked with illuminated symbols. It’s all in part with Call of Duty Zombies classic Easter Eggs, getting you further in the Main Quest. Here’s how to solve the painting puzzle in BO6 Zombies.

BO6 Zombies Bull and Hunter mural puzzle solutions for Ice Staff

You’ll come across two paintings in Season 2’s The Tomb: a bull and a hunter (I will go further into where you can find them below). You must wait until a purple light appears near it, triggering glowing Roman numerals within its artwork. If the light isn’t close enough to the painting, shoot it to change its location. It takes about a few seconds/minutes for it to reappear again in another area. You may need to do this a few times until the light eventually gets closer to the mural.

Similar to the Citadelle des Morts book puzzle, you must shoot the Roman numerals in order. I’ve compared my playthrough with others, and the placement of numbers always seems to change. So, if you aren’t too familiar with Roman numerals, here’s a brief overview of the order:

• I: 1
• II: 2
• III: 3
• IV: 4
• V: 5
• VI: 6
• VII: 7
• VIII: 8
• IX: 9
• X: 10

If you hit them in the correct order, the numbers will glow green and connect using a blue line. It’ll then trigger a battle against hordes of zombies. Be warned; this is an extremely intense battle riddled with Special Zombies. Even as an avid Zombies player, this part proved to be a bit stressful, and I’ll admit I was screaming the entire time out of sheer fear. It’s mainly because Shock Mimics and Amalgams will appear all at once, which will be quite difficult to go against without the right gear. Using the Mustang and Sally build (with Pack a Punch) is🃏 prob♏ably the best approach, as it can eliminate them with a few hits.

You must complete this entire process with the bull and hunter paintings to obtain the parts of the BO6 Zombies’ Ice Staff. The pieces will appear after you’ve survived the painting’s zombie challenge, where a flash of light will trigger. Look near the artwork to pick up the piece, and repeat this procedure again with the next challenge if you haven’t already done so. I’m still looking into how to get the Ice Staff, and I’ll be updating this guide once I discover more information.

BO6 Zombies Hunter painting location and solution

You can find the hunter painting at D5 coordinates, near the Deadshot Daquiri perk machine. Wait until the purple light appears next to the crafting bench and shoot the Roman numerals to get this solution (remember, the number placements change, but the c♉onstellation should remain the same):

BO6 Zombies Bull painting location and solution

For the bull painting, go to the Death Perception perk machine near D4 coordinates. Like the hunter painting, you must wait until the purple light appears next to it and then shoot the Roman numerals in tജhe correct order for this constellation:
