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 crucial step involves deciphering the Summoning Circle Rings puzzle.
Prerequisites: Before tackling the Summoning Circle, you'll need two key items:
- Raven Bastard Sword: Obtained 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.
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.
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.
Here's a solution guide 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-through triangle with Gemini. |
Completing the Ritual: After correctly configuring the rings, guide shadow orbs into three portals within the Tavern. Finally, return to the Summoning Circle and interact to claim your Balmung Elemental Sword!
