To acquire miraculous swords in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, players must first activate the Pack-A-Punch and collect seals from templar helmet zombies starting at round 10. Each sword corresponds to a knight with a specific element: Light (Lion Knight), Fire (Dragon Knight), Void (Raven Knight), and Lightning (Deer Knight). Detailed steps guide players on how to obtain each sword, including puzzles and challenges, such as guiding parasites or surviving zombie waves to unlock powerful weapons like Excalibur and Balmung.
Unlocking the Miracle Swords in the Citadel of the Dead of BO6
To acquire one of the miraculous swords in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, your first step is to activate the Pack-A-Punch. This can be accomplished by navigating through the guided sections of the map, making the process straightforward.
Once you’ve activated the Pack-A-Punch, you’ll need to wait until round 10 to begin your quest for a seal, an essential item obtained by defeating zombies that don templar helmets. These specific zombies only appear starting from round 10, so patience is key.
With a seal in hand, head over to one of the statues located in the ENTRANCE HALL to initiate your journey towards one of the four miracle weapons. Keep in mind that each knight corresponds to a specific element, which you’ll need to consider:
- Light – Lion Knight
- Fire – Dragon Knight
- Void – Raven Knight
- Lightning – Deer Knight
How to Acquire the Miracle Swords
The Sword of Light (Lion Sword) – Solais
To obtain the sword of light, select the sword from the knight adorned with the lion insignia. Upon claiming the bastard sword from the lion knight, parasites will spawn. Instead of defeating these parasites, guide them toward the lion-embossed door in the VILLAGE, located near the Speed Cola well.
Once at the door, eliminate a golden parasite and strike the door with your weapon imbued with the parasite’s aura. Repeat this action four times until the door displays four symbols, then interact with it to teleport to a new area.
Once you’ve crossed the hallway, place your sword on the back pedestal. The puzzle here is straightforward: shoot the symbols in the sequence indicated by the pedestal. The symbols remain consistent between games, so follow this order:
- Circle with a dot inside
- Eight-pointed star
- Triangle
- Circle with a bar
You have 60 seconds to complete this task; failure to do so will require waiting until the next round for another attempt.
The Sword of Darkness (Raven Sword) – Balmung
To secure the sword of darkness, select the sword from the knight with the raven insignia. Begin by locating an antiquity in the ALCHEMY LAB, which becomes accessible after activating the Pack-A-Punch. Next, transport this antiquity to the basement of the TAVERN at the VILLAGE SQUARE.
Interact with the astrological dial at the tavern to receive clues to match with the antiquity. Once matched, void projectiles will begin to follow you. Your task is to guide these projectiles to the newly opened portals, ensuring you stay behind the portals while doing so.
After successfully feeding the three portals with void projectiles, return to the dial, and the bastard sword will transform into Balmung, the sword of darkness.
The Sword of Lightning (Deer Sword) – Durendal
Select the sword from the knight with the deer insignia to obtain the sword of lightning. Your mission will involve finding three lightning rods to create a receptacle on the castle rampart where Elemental Soda is located. The lightning rods can be found in the following locations:
After placing the three lightning rods on the receptacle, survive the ongoing zombie wave while waiting for the storm to empower your sword. Strike the receptacle three times with your electrified sword, ensuring to place it in the receptacle after the third strike for the transformation to occur.
The Sword of Fire (Dragon Sword) – Excalibur
Select the sword from the knight decorated with the dragon insignia for the sword of fire. After acquiring the bastard sword from the dragon knight, make your way back to the entrance hall to locate a dragon statue at the top of the stairs. Interact with the dragon to relinquish your sword.
Next, you’ll need to find three braziers and bring them to the dragon so it can consume the flames. The braziers are positioned in these locations:
The first brazier shouldn’t present any issues, but the other two may pose challenges. To regain health, strike the zombies obstructing your path; otherwise, you risk being overwhelmed.
Once you’ve successfully delivered the three braziers to the dragon, you will receive Excalibur, which features explosive attacks when you utilize its charged shot. It’s advisable to have the PHD Flopper perk equipped to avoid self-inflicted damage.
