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 thrilling Zombies experience within a medieval castle. A key part of the main Easter Egg quest involves solving the Summoning Circle Rings puzzle to obtain the powerful Balmung Elemental Sword.

This guide details how to configure these rings.

Prerequisites:

Before tackling the Summoning Circle, you must acquire two crucial items:

  1. Raven Bastard Sword: Found in the Dining Hall's Raven Knight Statue; requires offering a Stamp.
  2. Antiquity: Located in the Alchemical Lab. Both item locations are highlighted in Directed Mode.

Activating the Summoning Circle:

Located in the Tavern Cellar (opposite the Entrance Hall fast travel point), place the acquired Antiquity and 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.

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-out 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 the Balmung Elemental Sword.
