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. 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. 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.
Antiquity Solutions:
Here's a table summarizing 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. |
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.
