Unlocking the Balmung: A Guide to the Citadelle Des Morts Summoning Circle
Citadelle Des Morts, introduced in Black Ops 6 Season 1 Reloaded, presents players with a challenging Zombies Easter Egg quest. A key step involves configuring the Summoning Circle Rings to obtain the powerful Balmung Elemental Sword. This guide breaks down the process.
Before attempting to configure the rings, two items are required:
- 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, proceed 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.
The Summoning Circle puzzle features two rotating rings: one with elemental symbols, the other with Zodiac signs. The solution requires aligning the Zodiac and elemental symbol closest to the bottom arrow with those on the inserted Antiquity.
Five Antiquities exist, each requiring a unique solution:
| 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. |
After correctly configuring the rings, lure shadow orbs into three Tavern portals. Finally, interact with the Summoning Circle to claim the Balmung.
