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 quest involves solving the Summoning Circle puzzle to obtain the powerful Balmung Elemental Sword.

This guide details how to configure the Summoning Circle Rings, a crucial step in acquiring the Balmung.

Prerequisites:

Before tackling the Summoning Circle, you'll need two items:

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

Activating the Summoning Circle:

Locate the Summoning Circle in the Tavern Cellar, opposite the Entrance Hall fast travel point. Place the Raven Bastard Sword and your acquired Antiquity 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 Zodiac and elemental symbol nearest the bottom arrow match those on your chosen Antiquity.

The solution varies depending on the Antiquity. Here's a breakdown:

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. Finally, return to the Summoning Circle and interact with it to claim your Balmung.
