Citadelle Des Morts, introduced in Black Ops 6 Season 1 Reloaded, plunges players into a new chapter of the Zombies storyline. This thrilling map challenges players to find an amulet within a medieval castle's ruins, battling undead and other horrors while uncovering its secrets. The main Easter Egg quest is filled with complex puzzles, from aligning Points of Power to manipulating light beams to find a brooch. One of the most demanding steps involves configuring the Summoning Circle Rings, essential for obtaining the Balmung Elemental Sword.

How To Configure The Summoning Circle Rings on Citadelle Des Morts

Before configuring the Summoning Circle Rings to obtain the Balmung Elemental Sword, players must acquire two items: the Raven Bastard Sword (from the Raven Knight Statue in the Dining Hall by offering a Stamp) and an Antiquity (located in the Alchemical Lab). These locations are highlighted on-screen in Directed Mode.

After obtaining an Antiquity, activate the Summoning Circle in the Tavern Cellar (opposite the Entrance Hall fast travel point). Place 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 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 breakdown:
