Black Ops 6 Zombies: How To Configure The Summoning Circle Rings on Citadelle Des Morts

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

Black Ops 6 Season 1 Reloaded introduced Citadelle Des Morts, a challenging Zombies map brimming with secrets and puzzles. A key part of the main Easter Egg involves configuring the Summoning Circle Rings to obtain the powerful Balmung Elemental Sword. This guide will walk you through the solution.

Before attempting this puzzle, you'll need two crucial items:

1. The Raven Bastard Sword: Acquired from the Raven Knight Statue in the Dining Hall by offering it a Stamp.
2. An Antiquity: Found in the Alchemical Lab. The game's Directed Mode will highlight these locations.

With both items in hand, head to the Tavern Cellar (opposite the Entrance Hall fast travel point). Place the Antiquity and the 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. Align the rings so the elemental symbol and Zodiac sign nearest the bottom arrow match those on your chosen Antiquity.

There are five Antiquities, each requiring a unique solution:

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.
