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 captivating Zombies storyline. This medieval castle ruin presents a challenging Easter Egg quest culminating in the acquisition of the powerful Balmung Elemental Sword. A key step involves deciphering the Summoning Circle Rings puzzle.

Preparing for the Summoning Circle

Before tackling the Summoning Circle Rings, two crucial items are needed:

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

With both items secured, 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, the other with Zodiac signs. The solution hinges on aligning the Zodiac and elemental symbols nearest the bottom arrow with those on the placed Antiquity.

Since five Antiquities exist, five solutions are possible:

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 to claim the Balmung Elemental Sword.
