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. This medieval castle map features a challenging main 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 Rings, 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 highlighted in Directed Mode.
With these items in hand, 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.
Solving the Summoning Circle Rings Puzzle
The Summoning Circle features two rotating rings: one with elemental symbols and the other with Zodiac signs. The solution depends on the specific Antiquity used. Align the elemental symbol and Zodiac sign closest to the bottom arrow to match those on your Antiquity.
Here's a table outlining the solutions for each Antiquity:
| 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, lure shadow orbs into three portals within the Tavern. Finally, return to the Summoning Circle and interact with it to claim your Balmung Elemental Sword.
