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 thrilling Zombies experience within a medieval castle. A key part of the main Easter Egg quest involves solving the challenging Summoning Circle Rings puzzle to obtain the powerful Balmung Elemental Sword.
Prerequisites: Before tackling the Summoning Circle, you need two items:
- Raven Bastard Sword: Acquired from the Raven Knight Statue in the Dining Hall by offering a Stamp.
- An Antiquity: Found in the Alchemical Lab. Locations are shown on-screen in Directed Mode.
Activating the Summoning Circle:
Locate the Summoning Circle in the Tavern Cellar, opposite the Entrance Hall fast travel point. Place both the Antiquity and the Bastard Sword into the circle using the interact button.
Solving the Ring Puzzle:
The Summoning Circle features two rotating rings: one with elemental symbols, the other with Zodiac signs. Align the rings so the elemental symbol and Zodiac sign closest to the bottom arrow match those on your chosen Antiquity.
There are five Antiquities, each requiring a unique solution:
| 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. |
Completing the Ritual: 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 your Balmung Elemental Sword.
