How to Obtain the Citadelle des Morts Swords in COD Black Ops 6 Zombies

The highly anticipated Citadelle des Morts map has landed in the Season 1 Reloaded update of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies. Set in an abandoned European castle, this map continues the overarching story of the game while introducing exciting gameplay mechanics and the formidable Bastard Sword—a melee Wonder Weapon that every player can acquire and upgrade. Here’s how to obtain these deadly swords and take the first step toward unravelling the map’s main Easter egg.

 

How to Obtain the Citadelle des Morts Swords in Black Ops 6 Zombies

• Step 1: Access the Castle - To begin, load into Citadelle des Morts and open the necessary doors to the castle. Following the objectives will eventually lead you to a boss fight. Defeating this boss unlocks the Pack-a-Punch machine and sets the stage for obtaining the swords.
• Step 2: Look for the Special Knight Zombies - Around Round 10, a unique Zombie wearing a knight’s helmet will begin to spawn. Killing one of these Zombies will drop a Stamp. This item is critical for the next step, so ensure you retrieve it.
• Step 3: Interact with Knight Statues - The Stamp can be used on one of four knight statues located in the castle’s overgrown courtyard. Interact with a statue by holding the designated button, and it will present you with a sword. Each knight statue contains one sword, meaning you and your team can equip up to four swords collectively.

Pro Tips for Finding Stamps

Knight Zombies spawn periodically, and you’ll need one Stamp per sword. While these Zombies are tougher than regular ones, using traps like the red-eye traps in the courtyard can make it easier to farm Stamps. Remember, Stamps can only be used once, but you can pick up additional Stamps as more knight Zombies appear.

Key Details About the Sword

The Citadelle des Morts Sword replaces your Knife but doesn’t occupy a primary weapon slot, leaving your guns unaffected. It comes with two abilities:

• Swipe Attack: A fast melee strike.
• Parry/Block: Deflect projectiles, such as Parasite shots, back to enemies.

Upgrading the Sword

After acquiring a sword, you can upgrade it into one of four legendary versions: Caliburn, Durendal, Solais, or Balmung. While the full upgrade process is still under investigation, these elemental variations promise significant power boosts and new abilities, making them invaluable for survival and completing the Easter egg.
