Black Ops 6 Zombies: Configuring Summoning Circle Rings at Citadelle Des Morts
Quick Links
Citadelle Des Morts, introduced in Black Ops 6 Season 1 Reloaded, offers an exhilarating new chapter in the Zombies storyline. Players dive into a medieval castle's ruins to uncover a mystical amulet, battling hordes of undead and other eerie creatures. This map is not just about survival; it's a journey through a complex Easter Egg quest filled with intriguing secrets.
The main Easter Egg of Citadelle Des Morts is a treasure trove of challenging puzzles, from aligning the Points of Power to manipulating light beams to reveal a hidden brooch. One of the most intricate steps involves configuring the Summoning Circle Rings, crucial for acquiring the Balmung Elemental Sword.
How To Configure The Summoning Circle Rings on Citadelle Des Morts
To begin configuring the Summoning Circle Rings and secure the Balmung Elemental Sword, players must first collect two essential items: the Raven Bastard Sword and an Antiquity. The Raven Bastard Sword is obtained by offering a Stamp to the Raven Knight Statue in the Dining Hall. The Antiquity can be found in the Alchemical Lab, and its location will be highlighted on-screen for players in Directed Mode.
After securing an Antiquity, players must head to the Tavern Cellar to activate the Summoning Circle, which is directly opposite the fast travel point to the Entrance Hall. Here, players should place both the Antiquity and the Bastard Sword into the Summoning Circle using the Interact Button.
With the items placed, players can now configure the Summoning Circle Rings. One ring features elemental symbols, while the other displays Zodiac signs. The objective is to align the rings so that the Zodiac and elemental symbols near the arrow at the puzzle's base correspond to the Antiquity inserted into the Summoning Circle.
Given there are five Antiquities, there are five distinct solutions to this puzzle. Below is a concise guide to all possible configurations:
Antiquity | How To Solve |
---|---|
Fish | Match the upside-down triangle with the Pisces Zodiac sign. |
Horn | Match the triangle with the Aries Zodiac sign. |
Jaw | Match the triangle with the Leo Zodiac sign. |
Scorpion | Match the upside-down triangle with the Scorpio Zodiac sign. |
Raven Skulls | Match the triangle, with a line crossed through it, with the Gemini Zodiac sign. |
Once the configuration is complete, players can continue the ritual by guiding shadow orbs into three portals within the Tavern. After this, they can return to the Tavern Cellar, interact with the Summoning Circle, and finally obtain the Balmung Elemental Sword.
