Mastering the Citadelle Des Morts Summoning Circle Puzzle in Black Ops 6

Black Ops 6 Season 1 Reloaded introduced Citadelle Des Morts, a challenging Zombies map brimming with secrets and puzzles. One particularly intricate puzzle 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, you'll need two key 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. The 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 real puzzle begins. The Summoning Circle features two rotating rings: one with elemental symbols, the other with Zodiac signs. Your goal is to align the Zodiac and elemental symbols closest to the bottom arrow with those on the Antiquity you've placed.

The solution varies depending on the Antiquity:

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 Elemental Sword.
