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 involves solving the Summoning Circle Rings puzzle to obtain the powerful Balmung Elemental Sword.
This guide details how to configure these rings.
Prerequisites:
Before tackling the Summoning Circle, you'll need two items:
- Raven Bastard Sword: Acquired from the Raven Knight Statue in the Dining Hall by offering a Stamp.
- Antiquity: Found in the Alchemical Lab. Both item locations are shown 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.
Configuring the Rings:
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.
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, lure shadow orbs into three portals in the Tavern. Return to the Summoning Circle and interact to claim the Balmung.
