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 the Summoning Circle Rings, a crucial step in this challenging quest.

Prerequisites:

Before tackling the Summoning Circle, you'll need two items:

  1. Raven Bastard Sword: Acquired from the Raven Knight Statue in the Dining Hall by offering it a Stamp.
  2. Antiquity: Found in the Alchemical Lab. Both item locations are highlighted in Directed Mode.

Activating the Summoning Circle:

Located in the Tavern Cellar, opposite the Entrance Hall fast travel point, the Summoning Circle awaits. Place both the Antiquity and the Bastard Sword into the circle using the interact button.

Solving the Ring Puzzle:

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.

The solution varies depending on the Antiquity you've acquired. Here's a breakdown:

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:

Once the rings are correctly configured, lure shadow orbs into three portals within the Tavern. Return to the Summoning Circle and interact with it to claim your Balmung Elemental Sword!
