How To Configure The Summoning Circle Rings on Citadelle Des Morts
Before players can configure the Summoning Circle Rings to obtain the Balmung Elemental Sword, they must first acquire two items: the Raven Bastard Sword, obtained from the Raven Knight Statue in the Dining Hall by offering it a Stamp, and an Antiquity, located in the Alchemical Lab. The locations of both items will be displayed on-screen for those playing in Directed Mode.
Once players have obtained an Antiquity on Citadelle Des Morts, they will be tasked with activating the Summoning Circle to acquire the Balmung Elemental Sword. The Summoning Circle is located in the Tavern Cellar, directly opposite the fast travel point to the Entrance Hall. Players will then need to place the Antiquity they have acquired, along with the Bastard Sword acquired from the Raven Statue, into the Summoning Circle by pressing the Interact Button.
Once done, players can then configure the Summoning Circle Rings, one displaying the symbols of different elements, while the other boasts signs of the Zodiac. The key here is to rotate the rings so that the Zodiac and the elemental symbols closest to the arrow at the bottom of the puzzle match that of the Antiquity inserted into the Summoning Circle.
As there are five Antiquities, there are five possible solutions to this puzzle. Here is a quick breakdown of all the possible solutions:
