Citadelle des Morts, the new Zombies map introduced with the release of Season One Reloaded in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, brings back a familiar feeling reminiscent of the old Zombies maps from previous Black Ops entries. It’s expansive, gothic, stunning, and packed with dangers and secrets.
Unlike the two launch maps, Citadelle des Morts doesn’t feature just one wonder weapon. Instead, it offers four elemental swords as wonder weapons. Each sword requires you to obtain it and upgrade it to its corresponding elemental state. This guide will walk you through all the steps to acquire the void raven sword, Balmung.
How To Get The Void Sword Balmung
After obtaining a stamp from one of the zombies with a helmeted head, make your way to the throne room.
Interact with the knight statue that has a raven on its shoulder to obtain the corresponding sword.
Get The Antiquity Item
Next, head to the Alchemical Lab room on the left side of the throne, where you’ll find multiple shelves.
The item is random each match, but somewhere on the shelves, you should find an animal skull that you can pick up.
Once you pick up the item, it will notify you that you’ve found an Antiquity item. Each Antiquity item corresponds to an animal and a zodiac sign, meaning there are multiple possible antiquity items that you can find.
With the item in hand, return to the spawn area and head to the basement of the bar, where you’ll find a circular mechanism on the wall. Interact with it to insert your Antiquity item, then you can place your raven sword inside.
This triggers a dial puzzle, which can be a bit complicated.
Solve The Dial Puzzle
Refer to the two pictures below which will be your reference to solve this puzzle.
The first picture corresponds to the animal represented by the Antiquity item you found. For example, if it’s two raven faces, it represents Gemini; if it’s a lion’s jawbone, it corresponds to Leo; and if it’s a scorpion, it represents Scorpio, and so on.
So the first step is to identify which animal and zodiac sign your Antiquity item represents.
On the dial puzzle, you’ll notice a green arrow.
What you need to do is rotate the inner ring (with the green symbols) until you match your zodiac sign to the corresponding element above (blue symbols), based on the second picture above.
We’ll update this section once we have all the possible solutions for each Antiquity item to make solving the puzzle easier.
If done correctly, you’ll see a purple hole on the floor, and orbs will begin to follow you. Your task is to lead these orbs to the purple hole so they can be absorbed by the ground.
You’ll need to do this in two more locations: the ground floor and the upper floor of the bar.
Finally, after dealing with the orbs, follow the main orb back to the dial puzzle in the basement.
Shortly after, the sword will emerge, and you’ll receive the void sword, known as the Balmung Sword.
