How to get every Citadelle des Morts incantation in Black Ops 6 Zombies

To complete the main quest on the latest Black Ops 6 Zombies map, Citadelle des Morts, players must first solve a series of puzzles in the castle and surrounding town.

Every Zombies map in Black Ops 6 includes a main quest to complete. For Citadelle des Morts, players must first collect all four ritual items, four incantations, and four elemental Wonder Weapon swords.

Before searching for each incantation, you can check out our step-by-step guide on how to get the Caliburn, Solais, Durendal, and Balmung Wonder Weapons. They are all needed to complete the rituals.

The incantations are primarily used to complete the main quest easter egg, but they are also tactical versions of Ammo Mods.

• Shadow: Shadow Rift
• Storm: Deadwire
• Light: Light Mend
• Fire: Napalm Burst

With that out of the way, let’s take a look at the rituals and how the swords come into play.

1. Shoot the horseshoe down from above the door in the stone bar located on the hill next to the Town Square and pick it up 
2. Go back to the cannon on top of the Citadelle Courtyard
3. Instead of firing the cannon at the door, use the cannon to shoot yourself back into the Town Square
4. Pick up Pegasus’ Horseshoe located in Village Ascent
5. Back in Town Square, a glowing yellow circle will appear and you can complete the ritual like you did for the other incantation
6. Open the box with the Durendal Wonder Weapon and acquire another incantation

How to complete the Solais: Lion of Light incantation

Here are all of the steps for the Solais incantation.

1. In the Dining Hall there is a red crystal above vulture-Aid Perk-a-Cola
2. Shoot it and the light it reflects changes direction
3. Shoot it a few times till it hits another red crystal
4. Keep doing that until the light goes into the alchemy room that opened up when you took a sword for the first time
5. In that room, the light will end at another ritual item called the Paladin’s Brooch
6. Another yellow circle will appear on the ground of the Dining Hall
7. Complete the ritual and open the box with the Solais sword to collect another incantation

How to complete the Caliburn: Dragon’s Fire incantation

Here is everything you need to know about the Caliburn incantation.

1. There are three pyres above entrances to doors in the area of the map before the castle where the cannon is
2. You must set them alight with either Caliburn: Dragon’s Fire’s special attack or a Molotov lethal, which can be selected in your loadout or crafted
3. The first is above the left door when facing the castle
4. Next, another pyre faces away from the castle on the left side of the cannon. When facing away from the castle, you will see it far in the distance
5. Finally, look straight ahead from the cannon and you will see one above the entrance to the castle
6. This will spawn a Doppelghast and it will drop the relic item Ra’s Ankh after being killed
7. Then toward the entrance of the Citadelle Courtyard, there will be a yellow ritual circle
8. Complete the ritual and use the Caliburn Wonder Weapon to open the chest to get the final incantation

With all four incantations on hand, they can be used as useful lethal weapons. However, they are also essential for completing the final easter egg.
