Summoning Circle Rings in 'Black Ops 6' on Citadelle Des Morts

Mastering the Citadelle Des Morts Summoning Circle: A Guide to Obtaining the Balmung

Citadelle Des Morts, introduced in Black Ops 6 Season 1 Reloaded, presents players with a challenging Zombies Easter Egg quest. A key step involves configuring the Summoning Circle Rings to obtain the powerful Balmung Elemental Sword. This guide will walk you through the process.

Before tackling the Summoning Circle puzzle, 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. (Note: Locations are highlighted in Directed Mode.)

With both items in hand, 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.

Now, the puzzle begins. The Summoning Circle features two rotating rings: one with elemental symbols, the other with Zodiac signs. The solution depends on the specific Antiquity you've acquired. Align the Zodiac and elemental symbols closest to the bottom arrow to match those on your Antiquity.

There are five Antiquities and therefore five solutions. Here's the breakdown:

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.
