Unlocking the Balmung Elemental Sword in Citadelle Des Morts: A Guide to the Summoning Circle Rings
Citadelle Des Morts, introduced in Black Ops 6 Season 1 Reloaded, plunges players into a captivating Zombies storyline. This medieval castle ruin presents a challenging Easter Egg quest, culminating in the acquisition of the powerful Balmung Elemental Sword. A key step involves deciphering the Summoning Circle Rings puzzle.
Preparing for the Summoning Circle
Before attempting to configure the Summoning Circle Rings, two crucial items are required:
- Raven Bastard Sword: Obtained from the Raven Knight Statue in the Dining Hall by offering a Stamp.
- Antiquity: Located in the Alchemical Lab. The game's Directed Mode conveniently highlights these item locations.
With both items in hand, head to the Tavern Cellar, directly across from the Entrance Hall fast travel point. Place the Antiquity and Bastard Sword into the Summoning Circle using the Interact Button.
Solving the Summoning Circle Rings Puzzle
The Summoning Circle features two rotating rings: one with elemental symbols, the other with Zodiac signs. The solution lies in aligning the Zodiac and elemental symbols nearest the bottom arrow with those on the placed Antiquity. Since five unique Antiquities exist, five distinct solutions are possible:
| Antiquity | Solution |
|---|---|
| Fish | Match the upside-down triangle with Pisces. |
| Horn | Match the triangle with Aries. |
| Jaw | Match the triangle with Leo. |
| Scorpion | Match the upside-down triangle with Scorpio. |
| Raven Skulls | Match the crossed-out triangle with Gemini. |
After correctly configuring the rings, guide shadow orbs into three portals within the Tavern. Finally, return to the Summoning Circle and interact with it to claim the Balmung Elemental Sword.
