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 will face hordes of undead and other creatures 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. A particularly intricate step 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 acquire the Balmung Elemental Sword, players must obtain two key items: the Raven Bastard Sword (from the Raven Knight Statue in the Dining Hall using a Stamp) and an Antiquity (located in the Alchemical Lab). These locations are highlighted on-screen in Directed Mode.

After acquiring an Antiquity, 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.

The puzzle involves two rings: one with elemental symbols, the other with Zodiac signs. Rotate the rings to align the Zodiac and elemental symbols nearest the bottom arrow with those on the inserted Antiquity.

Five Antiquities exist, resulting in five unique solutions. Below is a summary:

Antiquity Solution Fish Align the inverted triangle with the Pisces Zodiac sign. Horn Align the triangle with the Aries Zodiac sign. Jaw Align the triangle with the Leo Zodiac sign. Scorpion Align the inverted triangle with the Scorpio Zodiac sign. Raven Skulls Align the crossed-out triangle with the Gemini Zodiac sign.

Once solved, lure shadow orbs into three Tavern portals. Finally, return to the Summoning Circle to claim the Balmung.
