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 zombie-infested medieval castle. A key part of the main Easter Egg quest involves acquiring the Balmung Elemental Sword, requiring the successful configuration of the Summoning Circle Rings.
This intricate puzzle demands two items: the Raven Bastard Sword (obtained from the Raven Knight Statue in the Dining Hall by offering a Stamp) and an Antiquity (found in the Alchemical Lab). These locations are highlighted in Directed Mode.
With both items secured, head to the Tavern Cellar (opposite the Entrance Hall fast travel point). Place the Antiquity and Bastard Sword into the Summoning Circle using the interact button.
Now, the challenge begins. The Summoning Circle features two rotating rings: one with elemental symbols, the other with Zodiac signs. Align the rings so the Zodiac and elemental symbol nearest the bottom arrow match those on your chosen Antiquity.
Five Antiquities exist, 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. |
After correctly aligning the rings, lure shadow orbs into three Tavern portals. Finally, return to the Summoning Circle and interact to claim the Balmung Elemental Sword.
