Unlocking the Balmung: A Guide to the Citadelle Des Morts Summoning Circle Rings
Citadelle Des Morts, introduced in Black Ops 6 Season 1 Reloaded, plunges players into a thrilling Zombies experience within a medieval castle. A key objective involves solving the Summoning Circle Rings puzzle to obtain the powerful Balmung Elemental Sword.
This guide details how to configure these rings, a crucial step in the main Easter Egg quest.
Prerequisites:
Before tackling the Summoning Circle, you must acquire two items:
- Raven Bastard Sword: Obtained from the Raven Knight Statue in the Dining Hall by offering it a Stamp.
- An Antiquity: Located in the Alchemical Lab. Locations are highlighted in Directed Mode.
Activating the Summoning Circle:
Located in the Tavern Cellar, opposite the Entrance Hall fast travel point, the Summoning Circle awaits. 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. Align the rings so the elemental symbol and Zodiac sign nearest the bottom arrow match those on your chosen Antiquity.
There are five Antiquities, 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. |
Completing the Ritual:
After correctly configuring the rings, lure shadow orbs into three portals within the Tavern. Finally, return to the Summoning Circle and interact with it to claim the Balmung.
