Zombies Chronicles, a DLC expansion for the popular Call of Duty: Black Ops III game, brought back beloved maps from previous titles. One of these fan-favorite maps is "Origins," which features the Elemental Staffs, powerful weapons that can be upgraded for even greater lethality. Here are the origins Ice Staff upgrade steps, breaking down the process into easy-to-follow subheadings with detailed content.

Initial Staff Acquisition

To begin the journey towards upgrading the Ice Staff in Origins, you must first acquire the base Ice Staff. This staff can be obtained from the Crazy Place, a mysterious area accessible through one of the excavation sites. You'll need to collect four elemental staff parts and build the staff in the Crazy Place. The initial parts for the Ice Staff include the Gramophone, Record, Staff Crystal, and Ice Crystal.

Charging the Staff

Once you have the Ice Staff in your possession, it's time to power it up. The first step in this process is to obtain the Blue Staff's gem, which is in the Crazy Place. After acquiring the gem, place it into the Ice Staff. Now, you need to charge the staff with souls, which can be done by killing zombies near it. Continue killing zombies until the staff has absorbed enough souls to unleash its full potential.

Freezing Step

After charging the Ice Staff, it's time to embark on the freezing step. This step is all about freezing various objects and enemies on the map. You need to freeze a total of nine objects to complete this step, and some of them include generators, panels, and the Pack-a-Punch machine. Make sure to use the Ice Staff's secondary attack to freeze these elements and listen for the confirmation sound after each successful freeze.

Upgrade Crystal

The next part of upgrading the Ice Staff involves finding the upgrade crystal. You can locate this crystal near the church area, positioned on the side of a rock formation. Use your Ice Staff's secondary attack to melt the ice surrounding the crystal, revealing it. Collect the upgrade crystal to proceed to the final step of the upgrade process.

Ultimate Challenge

The last step is the ultimate challenge. To complete the upgrade, you must eliminate a series of Templar Zombies using the Ice Staff. These zombies spawn periodically, and you'll need to kill each one of them using the staff's primary attack. Be prepared for a fierce battle, as the Templar Zombies can be quite formidable. Once you've vanquished them all, the Ice Staff will be fully upgraded and ready to unleash its devastating power.
