Citadelle Des Morts, introduced in Black Ops 6 Season 1 Reloaded, plunges players into a new Zombies storyline. This medieval castle ruin serves as the backdrop for a mystical quest to find a powerful amulet. Players will face hordes of undead and other terrifying creatures while unraveling the map's many secrets and completing the main Easter Egg quest.
The Citadelle Des Morts Easter Egg presents numerous challenging puzzles, including aligning Points of Power and manipulating light beams to discover a crucial brooch. However, configuring the Summoning Circle Rings is particularly difficult, a necessary step to obtain the potent Balmung Elemental Sword.
How To Configure the Summoning Circle Rings on Citadelle Des Morts
Before attempting to configure the Summoning Circle Rings for the Balmung Elemental Sword, players must acquire two key items: the Raven Bastard Sword (obtained from the Raven Knight Statue in the Dining Hall by offering a Stamp) and an Antiquity (found in the Alchemical Lab). These item locations are indicated on-screen in Directed Mode.
After acquiring an Antiquity in Citadelle Des Morts, players must activate the Summoning Circle in the Tavern Cellar (opposite the fast travel point to the Entrance Hall). Place both the Antiquity and the Bastard Sword into the circle using the Interact Button.
The puzzle involves two rings: one displaying elemental symbols, the other Zodiac signs. Rotate the rings until the Zodiac and elemental symbols nearest the bottom arrow match those on the inserted Antiquity.
Five Antiquities exist, resulting in five unique solutions. Below is a summary of each solution:
Antiquity |
Solution |
Fish |
Align the inverted triangle with the Pisces Zodiac sign. |
Horn |
Align the triangle with the Aries Zodiac sign. |
Jaw |
Align the triangle with the Leo Zodiac sign. |
Scorpion |
Align the inverted triangle with the Scorpio Zodiac sign. |
Raven Skulls |

Once solved, lure shadow orbs into three portals in the Tavern. Finally, return to the Tavern Cellar and interact with the Summoning Circle to claim the Balmung.
