The Tomb Directed Mode has finally debuted in Black Ops 6 Season 2 Reloaded, allowing players to earn exclusive rewards while being guided through the steps of the main Easter Egg quest. The Tomb itself can be quite challenging, especially due to its claustrophobic layout, making preparation essential before facing the undead.
While progressing through Directed Mode, players will encounter a series of cryptic objectives. Early on, they will be tasked with shooting symbols in ascending order, a puzzle that might confuse many on their first attempt. However, with a bit of guidance, this step can be completed without any issues.

Black Ops 6 Zombies: All The Tomb Easter Eggs
The Tomb has many secrets. From the main Easter Egg quest to a series of side puzzles, here is every Easter Egg on The Tomb in Black Ops 6 Zombies.
How To Break Aetheric Lanterns in The Tombs Until Symbols Are Revealed
Before players can begin shooting the symbols in ascending order, they will first need to break Aetheric Lanterns in The Tombs until the symbols are revealed. These lanterns will be marked if they spawn within the Tombs and can be identified by their unique purple color.
The trick here is to shoot the lanterns within the Tombs to break them. Once broken, another lantern will ignite in a different location, allowing players to break it again to move it elsewhere. Players must repeat this process until the Aetheric Lantern spawns directly opposite the bull painting on the northeast side of The Tombs. Doing so will reveal the first set of symbols needed to proceed.
How To Shoot The Symbols In Ascending Order (The Tombs)
The symbols that players need to shoot will be revealed in the bull painting within the Tombs, as mentioned earlier. Here, eight symbols will be displayed, resembling Roman numerals. Each symbol corresponds to a number, and players must shoot each one in sequential order to complete this step.
For those looking to breeze through this puzzle, here is a breakdown of the correct order in which players need to shoot the symbols:
One |
Two |
Three |
Four |
Five |
Six |
Seven |
Eight |
Upon doing so, players will trigger a lockdown sequence, during which they must defeat waves of creatures emerging through portals while remaining within the Tombs. Defeating each wave will complete the next step, and the first part of the Staff of Ice will be waiting for players to collect at the bull painting.

How To Break Aetheric Lanterns In The Neolithic Catacombs Until Symbols Are Revealed
Now that players have wrapped up the first puzzle, they will need to break Aetheric Lanterns to reveal a new set of symbols in a different location. Just as before, players can locate the lit lanterns around the map, this time shooting them until the lantern moves just opposite the Crafting Bench in the Neolithic Catacombs. Doing so will reveal another set of symbols, this time at a painting of a man in the same area.
How To Shoot Symbols In Ascending Order (Neolithic Catacombs)
Just as before, players will need to shoot this second set of symbols in a specific order to complete the next objective. This time, there are ten total symbols, and while they still resemble Roman numerals, differentiating the ninth and tenth symbols can be rather tricky.
For those looking to complete this puzzle quickly, here is the correct order in which the symbols need to be shot:
One |
Two |
Three |
Four |
Five |
Six |
Seven |
Eight |
Nine |
Ten |
Once done, players will then have to remain in the Neolithic Catacombs and defeat more waves of creatures emerging through portals. Once complete, another part of the Staff of Ice will be waiting at the painting, ready to be picked up for players to progress onto the next objective.
