Citadelle Des Morts, introduced in Black Ops 6 Season 1 Reloaded, plunges players into a new Zombies storyline. This medieval castle ruin serves as the backdrop for a mystical quest to find a powerful amulet. Players face undead hordes and other horrors while unraveling the map's secrets and completing the main Easter Egg quest.

The Citadelle Des Morts Easter Egg presents numerous challenging puzzles, including manipulating Points of Power and light beams to discover a brooch. However, configuring the Summoning Circle Rings is particularly tricky, a crucial step in obtaining the Balmung Elemental Sword.

How To Configure The Summoning Circle Rings on Citadelle Des Morts

Before attempting to configure the Summoning Circle Rings for the Balmung Elemental Sword, players must acquire two items: the Raven Bastard Sword (obtained from the Raven Knight Statue in the Dining Hall by offering a Stamp) and an Antiquity (located in the Alchemical Lab). Directed Mode players will see these item locations on-screen.

After acquiring an Antiquity, players activate the Summoning Circle in the Tavern Cellar (opposite the Entrance Hall fast travel point). Place both the Antiquity and the Bastard Sword into the circle using the Interact Button.

Now, configure the Summoning Circle Rings. One ring displays elemental symbols; the other shows Zodiac signs. Rotate the rings until the Zodiac and elemental symbols nearest the bottom arrow match those on the inserted Antiquity.

Five Antiquities mean five solutions. Here's a summary:

Antiquity Solution Fish Match the upside-down triangle with the Pisces Zodiac sign. Horn Match the triangle with the Aries Zodiac sign. Jaw Match the triangle with the Leo Zodiac sign. Scorpion Match the upside-down triangle with the Scorpio Zodiac sign. Raven Skulls Match the triangle with a line through it with the Gemini Zodiac sign.

Upon completion, lure shadow orbs into three Tavern portals. Finally, return to the Tavern Cellar and interact with the Summoning Circle to claim the Balmung.
