Black Ops 6: How to Get All Elemental Swords in Citadelle des Morts

As a seasoned survivor of countless zombie apocalypses, I can confidently say that the art of acquiring powerful weapons has become second nature to me. And let me tell you, these Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War weapons are no exception!

As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but appreciate the integral role that Wonder Weapons play in enhancing the thrilling Zombies experience within Black Ops 6. The latest map, Citadelle des Morts, continues the tradition set by some of the most outstanding Call of Duty Zombies maps, offering four elemental weapons, each unique in their abilities and design. These weapons are not just tools to be wielded; they’re treasures to be crafted, upgraded, and mastered to overcome the daunting challenges posed by ever-increasing rounds.

As a fellow enthusiast, if you’re yearning to seize any of the 4 Elemental Swords hidden in the Citadelle des Morts map within Black Ops 6, then consider yourself fortunate! This comprehensive guide is tailor-made for you, offering all the essential insights needed to add these formidable swords to your arsenal, capable of carving a swathe through the relentless undead horde.

How to Get the Sword in Citadelle des Morts

To obtain the Sword Wonder Weapon in Citadelle des Morts, players initially need to power up the Pack-a-Punch machine and reach the Dining Hall area, where Vulture Aid is located. If you’ve already activated Pack-a-Punch, then all you have to do is wait until Round 10 since that’s when special zombies will appear. These zombies can be recognized by their templar helmets. Killing these unique helmeted zombies will consistently produce a Stamp drop. You can use the Stamp on any of the four knight statues in the Dining Hall to get a Sword. However, each Sword has its own purpose for individual upgrades. Here’s where they all are when facing Vulture Aid from the North:

  • Stag/Lightning Sword (front left)
  • Crow/Void Sword (back left)
  • Dragon/Fire Sword (front right)
  • Lion/Light Sword (back right)

After obtaining a Stamp, players can approach their preferred knight statue and press the interact key. This action causes the knight to offer its sword for collection, giving players a close-combat weapon known as The Sword. For increased effectiveness with this melee weapon, consider picking up Melee Macchiato as well.

The Elemental Swords can be acquired in any order

How to Get Caliburn (The Fire Sword)

From the Dragon Knight

After retrieving the Dragon Sword from the statue of the knight on the right, players should proceed into the Entrance Hall towards Juggernog’s location. There, they’ll find stairs leading up to a dragon statue. Upon reaching it, players should draw the Dragon Sword and interact with the stone dragon statue to sheathe the sword away. Next, players need to seek out three blazing bonfires and interact with one at a time, transporting the fire back to the dragon statue. Remember that picking up the fire will cause 15 HP damage per second, so it’s recommended to use Juggernog. During this stage, players can easily knock out zombies chasing them with a single punch, which will help restore their health.

The first pyre can be found in the Ramparts above the Courtyard area where players used the cannon to destroy the door to the Entrance Hall. This is a straight line path as players can jump down from the Ramparts and run up to the dragon statue.

The second bonfire can be found against the southern wall of the Nature Path within the Hilltop region, which lies to your left if you’re standing in the spawn room. Navigating towards this bonfire should not prove overly challenging, and it’s recommended that players make their way back through the Hilltop area towards the dragon using this bonfire as a guide.

The third pyre is within the spawn area itself within the Town Square, located in the back right corner just next to the Rampage Inducer. It’s quicker to take this fire through the Village where Speed Cola is located.

Once you’ve inserted all three fires into the dragon statue, players can retrieve Caliburn, a sword that inflicts flame damage, from the stone. To activate its special attack (LT+RT/L2+R2/Left-Click/Right-Click), they should aim to be near PhD Flopper as it unleashes an explosive burst of three fireballs, reminiscent of cannonball shots. So, keep PhD Flopper handy when you’re shooting it from a relatively close distance.

How to Get Durendal (The Lightning Sword)

From the Stag Knight

The front left statue holds the Stag Sword, which players can take with them to upgrade it into the Lightning Sword, Durendal. To do so, players will need to acquire 3 Lightning Rods, with the first Lightning Rod being found in the Hilltop area, leaning against some crates right beside Deadshot Daiquiri.

In order to obtain the second Lightning Rod, you’ll either need a Shock Charge or Dead Wire Ammo Mod. To get it, aim at the electric box linked to an antenna in the Upper Village, which is situated near the eastern wall opposite Speed Cola. Once you shoot this electric box, the Lightning Rod will drop.

In the game, after obtaining the Stag Sword, a zombie might appear carrying the third Lightning Rod, which is placed randomly in its torso. When you eliminate this zombie and collect the Lightning Rod, it’s considered found (Some players have observed better results waiting for it to show up within the Dungeon).

After obtaining all three Lightning Rods, make your way to the Courtyard, followed by the Hillside Ramparts, a location similar to Elemental Pop’s upper area. Find the urn on a pedestal there and activate it. This action will set the Lightning Rods in place and summon a storm. During the storm, keep your Stag Sword at hand and attack zombies while waiting for lightning to strike your sword. When this happens, use melee on the urn. Repeat this process three times. Afterward, insert your sword into the urn and then retrieve it again to obtain Durendal.

Durendal boasts an incredible lethality due to its electric capabilities, and its unique attack resembles the mighty Wunderwaffe DG-2 as it arcs a lightning bolt through numerous foes.

How to Get Solais (The Light Sword)

From the Lion Knight

After grabbing the Lion Sword located behind the statues to the back right, four radiant Parasites will appear instantly. Avoid immediately eliminating these creatures; instead, guide them into the Upper Village’s small tunnel adjacent to Speed Cola. Once there, use the Lion Sword to eliminate each Parasite individually, causing your weapon to shine golden. Subsequently, strike the wooden door with the lion knocker, revealing a symbol upon impact. To complete this task, you must repeat this process four times, using one of the four spawned Parasites for each instance.

As a gamer, here’s my take on paraphrasing your instructions: “Once I’ve placed all four symbols correctly on the door, stepping through will transport me inside. Inside, there’s a stone in the center where I need to insert my Lion Sword. Doing so reveals a symbol on the stone. In the next 60 seconds, I must find this symbol hidden somewhere in the room and shoot it. This process needs to be repeated four times with different symbols. The order remains consistent: always start with the first symbol, then move on to the second, third, and finally the fourth.

  • Circle with a dot
  • 8-point star
  • Triangle
  • Circle with a line

In this interaction, zombies will appear gradually, moving slowly, so it’s best to steer clear of them and aim for the right symbols instead. If you make a mistake, you’ll need to re-enter the room during the next round. Successfully completing this stage will cause all zombies to detonate, and the sword known as Solais will be yours.

As a gamer, I’ve found Solais to be somewhat overlooked, but when it’s fully powered up, it offers armor upon scoring kills or landing blows with its edge. This feature is perfect for vampiric siphon builds paired with Melee Macchiato, and the Charged Special Attack temporarily shields me with a deadly protective bubble, though it’s quite fleeting and shouldn’t be solely trusted to dodge damage.

How to Get Balmung (The Void Sword)

From the Crow Knight

Following their acquisition of the Crow Sword from the statue on the back-left side, players should make their way to the Alchemical Lab, which is positioned next to Stamin-Up and Vulture Aid. In this lab room, they’ll need to thoroughly search through the shelves and desks to locate a random bone. Although its specific purpose isn’t currently known, it’s crucial that they retrieve it and collect this Artifact. They should then take it to the Tavern Cellar, which can be found at the starting point (spawn).

In the Tavern Cellar, there’s a wall-mounted dial you can manipulate. By doing so, you can add both the Antiquity and the Crow Sword to it. Now, this dial becomes interactive again, allowing players to scrutinize a stone they found, as well as rotate its inner and outer circles. The objective of this puzzle is to line up the fossil in the center with corresponding symbols within the inner and outer ring. It’s important to note that the correct alignment should be achieved when the sword’s hilt, located at the bottom (6 o’clock) position on the dial, faces forward.

The emblems sought by players are determined by the central bone symbol on their tablets, which should correspond to its Astrology, Zodiac, and elemental signs. This guide may aid players, and note that engaging with the tablet in the Tavern will temporarily shield them from zombies as they input their symbols.

Middle Symbol Inner Symbol Outer Symbol
Horns Fire (Triangle) Aries
Raven Skulls Air (Triangle with a Line) Gemini
Jaw Fire (Triangle) Leo
Scorpion Water (Upside Down Triangle) Scorpio
Fish Water (Upside Down Triangle) Pisces

To provide some background, this manual employs Scorpio as its symbol, thus utilizing an upside-down triangle within a smaller circle to represent Water, and a larger circle containing the symbol for Scorpio (m) for the overall representation of Scorpio.

Players can confirm they’ve given the correct response when music plays and slow, luminescent orbs start appearing. These orbs follow the player and contact results in damage, so it’s crucial for players to guide the orbs into the dark holes on the ground called void tears. Each void tear requires 3 orbs to be filled.

  • The first void tear is found in the Tavern Cellar.
  • The second void tear is found within the Tavern’s first-floor
  • The third void tear is found in the Tavern’s second-floor

Upon finishing the third and concluding shadow tear, a sphere will reappear on the pedestal where players last placed the Crow Sword, imbuing it with the potent powers of darkness. Now, players can engage with this revitalized artifact and seize Balmung as their own, a Crow Sword boasting void and shadow abilities. The Shadow Sword’s Special Attack creates a rift in reality similar to a Gersh Device, drawing in zombies and instantly annihilating them; however, its effectiveness is limited against Amalgams, as the effect is fleeting.
