Unlocking the Balmung: A Guide to the Citadelle Des Morts Summoning Circle

Citadelle Des Morts, introduced in Black Ops 6 Season 1 Reloaded, plunges players into a thrilling Zombies experience within a medieval castle. A key part of the main Easter Egg involves solving the Summoning Circle puzzle to obtain the powerful Balmung Elemental Sword. This guide will walk you through the process.

Before tackling the Summoning Circle, you'll need two items:

Raven Bastard Sword: Acquired from the Raven Knight Statue in the Dining Hall by offering a Stamp.
Antiquity: Found in the Alchemical Lab. (Note: Locations are displayed on-screen in Directed Mode.)

With both items, 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 challenge 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.

The solution varies depending on the Antiquity. Here's a breakdown:

Antiquity	Solution
Fish	Match the upside-down triangle with Pisces.
Horn	Match the triangle with Aries.
Jaw	Match the triangle with Leo.
Scorpion	Match the upside-down triangle with Scorpio.
Raven Skulls	Match the crossed-out triangle with Gemini.

After correctly configuring the rings, lure shadow orbs into three portals in the Tavern. Finally, return to the Summoning Circle and interact with it to claim your Balmung.
