Unlocking the Balmung: A Guide to the Citadelle Des Morts Summoning Circle
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 involves solving the Summoning Circle puzzle to obtain the powerful Balmung Elemental Sword.
This guide details how to configure the Summoning Circle Rings, a crucial step in this challenging quest.
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 it a Stamp.
- Antiquity: Found in the Alchemical Lab. Both item locations are highlighted 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. To solve the puzzle, align the elemental symbol and Zodiac sign closest to the bottom arrow with 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. Return to the Summoning Circle and interact with it to claim your Balmung Elemental Sword.
