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 new Zombies storyline. This medieval castle map presents a challenging Easter Egg quest, culminating in the acquisition of the powerful Balmung Elemental Sword. A key step in this quest involves deciphering the Summoning Circle Rings puzzle.
Preparing for the Summoning Circle
Before tackling the Summoning Circle, you'll need two crucial items:
- Raven Bastard Sword: Obtained from the Raven Knight Statue in the Dining Hall by offering it a Stamp.
- Antiquity: Located in the Alchemical Lab. Both item locations are displayed in Directed Mode.
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 and the other with Zodiac signs. Align the rings so the Zodiac and elemental symbol 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 and Obtaining Balmung
After correctly configuring the rings, guide shadow orbs through three portals in the Tavern. Finally, return to the Summoning Circle and interact with it to claim your Balmung Elemental Sword.
