Citadelle Des Morts, introduced in Black Ops 6 Season 1 Reloaded, plunges players into a new chapter of the Zombies storyline. This mystical quest challenges players to find an amulet within the ruins of a medieval castle, battling undead and other horrors while uncovering secrets within the map's main Easter Egg quest.

The Citadelle Des Morts Easter Egg features challenging puzzles, from attuning Points of Power to manipulating light beams to find a brooch. A particularly challenging step involves configuring the Summoning Circle Rings, crucial 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, acquire two items: the Raven Bastard Sword (from the Raven Knight Statue in the Dining Hall, requiring a Stamp offering) and an Antiquity (located in the Alchemical Lab). These item 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 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 symbol nearest the bottom arrow match those on the inserted Antiquity.

Five Antiquities exist, resulting in five solutions:
