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 new Zombies storyline. This medieval castle map presents a thrilling quest to find a mystical amulet, requiring players to overcome undead hordes and solve intricate puzzles. A particularly challenging step involves configuring the Summoning Circle Rings to obtain the powerful Balmung Elemental Sword.
Preparing for the Summoning Circle Ritual
Before attempting to configure the rings, two essential items are needed:
- Raven Bastard Sword: Acquired from the Raven Knight Statue in the Dining Hall by offering a Stamp.
- Antiquity: Found in the Alchemical Lab. Both item locations are highlighted in Directed Mode.
With both items in hand, head to the Tavern Cellar (opposite the Entrance Hall fast travel point). Place the Antiquity and the 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 lies in aligning the Zodiac and elemental symbols closest to the bottom arrow with those on the chosen 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 Tavern portals. Finally, interact with the Summoning Circle to claim the Balmung.
