Unlocking the Balmung: A Guide to the Citadelle Des Morts Summoning Circle
Citadelle Des Morts, introduced in Black Ops 6 Season 1 Reloaded, plunges players into a thrilling Zombies experience within a medieval castle. A key part of the main Easter Egg involves solving the Summoning Circle puzzle to obtain the powerful Balmung Elemental Sword.
This guide details how to configure the Summoning Circle Rings.
Prerequisites:
Before tackling the Summoning Circle, you need two items:
- Raven Bastard Sword: Acquired from the Raven Knight Statue in the Dining Hall by offering it a Stamp.
- Antiquity: Found 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, place both the Antiquity and the Bastard Sword into the Summoning 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 Zodiac and elemental symbol 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-out triangle with Gemini. |
Completing the Ritual:
After correctly configuring the rings, lure shadow orbs into three portals within the Tavern. Return to the Summoning Circle and interact to claim the Balmung.
