How to Get the Balmung Raven Void Sword Wonder Weapon

There are four unique Wonder Weapons to craft in Citadelle des Morts, each requiring a set of very specific steps to create. This BO6 Zombies guide explains everything you need to know about obtaining the Balmung Raven's Shadow Sword in Citadelle des Morts, including all six code solutions for the Zodiac summoning circle puzzle found on the wall of the Tavern Cellar.

How to Get the Raven Void Sword Wonder Weapon

Play

Once you've obtained a Stamp, head to the Dining Hall and interact with the Knight Statue that features a Raven on its shoulder.

If you enter from the Entrance Hall, this will be the back left Knight. Upon interacting with the Raven Knight, a Bastard Sword will appear in its hands. Pick up this sword and make your way into the nearby Alchemical Lab.

Here, you'll need to pick up a unique Antiquity statue, which can be in the form of six potential items: a Horn, a Raven Skulls, a Rock Fish, a Rock Scorpion, a Jaw, and, as the community describes it, a Symboless Rock.

The locations of each of these items will differ depending on the item, and each item will always be random for every game. Known locations where these items can spawn include:

  • On the shelf next to the Armor Wall Buy.

  • On the shelf in the far back left corner.

  • On the shelf right of the table that features colored elemental icons in front it.

  • On the desk opposite the table that features colored elemental icons in front of it.

If you're struggling to find the item, it's worth noting that a small white dot will appear on it as you get close, indicating that it can be picked up.

Once you've found the Antiquity, make your way to the Tavern Cellar, where you'll find a large circular puzzle device on the wall next to the Workbench.

During this particular step, you'll want to start training Zombies, as having just one alive will make completing the Raven Sword much easier.

Interact with the device to insert your Bastard Sword, then wait a moment and interact with it once more.

Doing so will see you entering an invulnerable state as you attempt to solve a tricky Zodiac puzzle. Now, depending on the item you received, the code to solve the Zodiac puzzle will be different.

To solve the Zodiac puzzle, you must align your object's corresponding Element and Zodiac Symbol with the arrow at the bottom of the puzzle. This means that the correct Element Triangle and Zodiac Symbol must be aligned at the bottom of the spin wheel.

Below are the code solutions needed to solve the Zodiac puzzle for the Raven Sword:

  • Horn = 🜂 + ♈︎
  • Raven Skull = 🜁 + ♊︎
  • Rock Fish = 🜄 + ♓︎
  • Rock Scorpion = 🜄 + ♏︎
  • Jaw = 🜂 + ♌︎
  • Symboless Rock = 🜁 + ♐︎

Special thanks to Reddit User ImEasterEgg for providing the combinations needed to solve each Antiquity item. Once you've got the correct code, submit it and watch as a purple portal spawns on the ground nearby.

Once the portal has spawned, purple orbs will begin to spawn from the puzzle device and will start to target you. You'll now want to lure these orbs into the purple portal on the ground, as once they get near, the portal will begin to suck them in.

Avoid getting too close to the purple orbs, as they will deal damage.

Once three purple orbs have been sucked into the portal, follow the portal as it moves to the first floor of the Tavern, where you'll need to repeat the same steps. Once it's complete, it'll then move up to the balcony on the second floor.

Once you have lured three orbs into each portal, it'll then return to the Tavern Cellar.

When returning to the cellar, interact with the puzzle device and watch as a void opens up and your Bastard Sword is lowered into it.

After a few moments have passed, the Bastard Sword will return, and it'll be upgraded to the Balmung Raven's Shadow Sword.
