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 holds the key to a mystical amulet, demanding players battle undead hordes while unraveling the map's intricate secrets, culminating in the challenging main Easter Egg quest.

A significant hurdle in this quest involves configuring the Summoning Circle Rings, essential for obtaining the powerful Balmung Elemental Sword.

Configuring the Summoning Circle Rings

Before attempting this puzzle, two items are required: the Raven Bastard Sword (obtained from the Raven Knight Statue in the Dining Hall by offering a Stamp) and an Antiquity (located in the Alchemical Lab). Directed Mode players will see these locations highlighted.

With the Antiquity and Bastard Sword in hand, head to the Tavern Cellar (opposite the Entrance Hall fast travel point). Place both items into the Summoning Circle using the Interact Button.

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 inserted Antiquity.

Five Antiquities exist, each requiring a unique solution:

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.
