Black Ops 6 Zombies: How To Configure The Summoning Circle Rings on Citadelle Des Morts

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 new Zombies storyline. This medieval castle map features a challenging main Easter Egg quest, culminating in the acquisition of the powerful Balmung Elemental Sword. A key step in this quest involves deciphering the Summoning Circle Rings puzzle.

Preparing for the Summoning Circle

Before attempting to configure the rings, two items are essential:

1. Raven Bastard Sword: Obtained from the Raven Knight Statue in the Dining Hall by offering a Stamp.
2. Antiquity: Located in the Alchemical Lab. (Both item locations are highlighted in Directed Mode.)

With both items acquired, head 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.

Solving the Summoning Circle Rings Puzzle

The Summoning Circle features two rotating rings: one with elemental symbols, the other with Zodiac signs. The solution depends on the specific Antiquity used. Align the elemental symbol and Zodiac sign nearest the bottom arrow to match those on your Antiquity.

Here's a solution guide for each Antiquity:

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 Elemental Sword.
