Black Ops 6 Elemental Swords: How to unlock the 4 miracle weapons in the Citadel of the Dead?

Prerequisites for obtaining the miracle swords from the Citadel of the Dead in BO6

To be able to obtain one of the miracle swords from the Citadel of the Dead in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, you will first need to activate the Pack-A-Punch. The process is relatively simple, in that you will only need to follow the assisted part of the map to achieve this.

At the end of this stage, you will just have to wait for round 10 to try to collect a seal. You can obtain this quest item by eliminating zombies wearing a Templar helmet. These only appear on the map from round 10, which is why we tell you to wait until this round.

Once you have a seal in your possession, all you have to do is go see one of the statues available in the ENTRANCE HALL to begin your journey towards obtaining one of the four miracle weapons of the Citadel of the dead. However, be careful, depending on the sword you borrow from one of the knights, you will not be able to obtain the item you want. Each knight is linked to an element that we tell you below:

• Light – Lion Knight
• Fire – Dragon Knight
• Void – Raven Knight
• Lightning – Stag Knight

By choosing to borrow the lion knight's bastard sword, parasites will appear. Here, the goal is not to eliminate them, but to take them near the door bearing the lion symbol located in the VILLAGE, just after the Speed ​​Cola well.

When you arrive at the door, defeat a golden parasite, then hit the door with your weapon infused with the parasite's aura. Repeat this step 4 times and when the door has four symbols, interact with it so that it can teleport you to a new area.

Cross the corridor, then place your sword on the pedestal available at the far end. The puzzle here is relatively simple: shoot in the order indicated by the pedestal. From one part to another, the symbols are the same, so follow the following order:

• Circle with a point inside
• Eight-pointed star
• Triangle
• Circle with a bar

You have 60 seconds to complete it, otherwise you will have to wait until the next round to repeat the puzzle.

To be able to obtain the Sword of Darkness, you will first have to find an antique in the ALCHEMY LABORATORY, the room that opens after activating the Pack-A-Punch, and then find it. take you to the basement of the TAVERN, at the VILLAGE PLACE.

By interacting with the astrological dial available in the tavern, it will give you signs that you will have to match with the antique you found in the Laboratory.

• If you found the antique fish: Triangle pointing down | Fish sign
• If you found the antique raven: Triangle pointing upwards with a berre | Gemini Sign
• If you found the antique horn: Upward pointing triangle | Aries sign
• If you found the antique scorpion: Downward pointing triangle | Scorpio sign
• If you found the jawbone antique: Triangle pointing upwards | Leo sign

Once done, projectiles of nothingness will follow you. Here, your mission is to lead them towards the portals that have opened, making sure to position yourself behind the portal.

• The first portal is in the cellar of the TAVERNE
• The second portal is on the first floor of the TAVERN
• The third portal is on the second floor of the TAVERN

When you have finished feeding the three portals with the projectiles of nothingness, return to the dial, the bastard sword will transform into Balmung, the sword of darkness or nothingness, it's up to you!

When you get your hands on the stag knight's bastard sword, your mission will be to fetch three lightning rods to form a receptacle on the castle rampart, where Elemental Soda is located. You will find the three lightning rods in the following locations:

• First lightning rod: Next to the crates located right next to Daiquiri Deadshot
• Second lightning rod: On the village antenna. To make it fall, you will need an electric charge or the HS cable mod to short-circuit the electrical panel located next to Speed ​​Cola
• Third lightning rod: Randomly, on one of the armored zombies

When you have placed the three lightning rods on the receptacle on the rampart, you will just have to survive the wave of zombies while waiting for the storm to transform your sword. You will have to brandish your sword, then hit the receptacle 3 times with your sword charged with electricity so that it can finally be transformed, making sure to place it in the receptacle after the third strike.

Once you get your hands on the Dragon Knight Bastard Sword, turn back towards the castle entrance hall to find a dragon statue at the top of the stairs. Interact with the dragon so that it grabs your sword.

Once done, you will have to look for three braziers. The mission here is to grab them, then bring them to the dragon so it can feed on the flames. The three braziers are in the following locations:

• First brazier: on the VILLAGE REMPART, not far from the cannon which opened the castle door
• Second brazier: at the bottom of Daiquiri Deadshot, at HILL
• Third braziers: in the starting area, at TOWN SQUARE

For the first brazier, no need to worry, you will have plenty of time to reach the dragon before the flames consume you. On the other hand, regarding the other two braziers, you will have some difficulties; So, to regain health, hit the zombies that will be in your way. Otherwise, the death knell will toll for you.

When you have brought the three braziers to the dragon, you will then be able to receive your sword, Excalibur, which triggers explosions when you use its charged shot. Therefore, we strongly advise you to have the PHD Flopper asset to avoid dying from your own attacks.
