The Bull Mural puzzle is a key step in acquiring the Ice Staff wonder weapon in The Tomb. Completing it yields one of three necessary components. You'll find the mural in the Tombs section, the first area accessible from the spawn point after opening the tomb door.

Before tackling the Bull Mural, you must Pack-a-Punch a weapon and eliminate a Shock Mimic to obtain a Monocle—a prerequisite for the Ice Staff assembly. Once you have the Monocle, head to the rightmost side of the tombs area, where you'll see purple lanterns.

Shoot all the purple lanterns until the light in front of the Bull Mural glows. Approach the mural; you'll see eight Roman numeral symbols illuminated on the bull. The puzzle requires shooting these numerals in numerical order, from one to eight.

Successfully shooting the symbols triggers a wave-based challenge. A purple orb appears, guiding you through various rooms where special zombies spawn. You'll repeat this process five times in different areas of The Tomb, making it challenging, especially solo. Teams will find this much faster.

Regardless of your team size, Pack-a-Punched weapons and ample Essence are essential for survival. Remember to reload frequently as you move between rooms, especially since armored and special zombies appear during these challenges. After surviving all waves, the Ice Staff body piece drops, bringing you closer to completing the wonder weapon. Then, it's on to the next mural and puzzle stage.
