In Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies mode, wonder weapons are among the most formidable arms, but getting them can be a challenge. You can try your luck with the mystery box, but crafting them is often more dependable, albeit requiring several steps to complete.
With the introduction of Citadelle des Morts, players can find not just one but four elemental swords. Each sword can be enhanced to a unique elemental form. This guide will walk you through obtaining the lightning sword, known as Durendal.
How to Obtain the Durendal Sword
To begin, you’ll first need to acquire a stamp and use it on the appropriate knight statue located in the throne room, similar to how you do with other elemental swords.
For the lightning sword, apply the stamp to the knight with the deer crest, which is the first statue on your left.
Next, you’ll need to locate three lightning rods scattered throughout the map.
First Lightning Rod Location
The closest lightning rod is locked and positioned just to the left of the Deadshot machine on the western side of the map.
Second Lightning Rod Location
To access the second lightning rod, ensure your weapon is equipped with the Dead Wire ammo mod. Proceed to the underpass near the Speed Cola machine.
Here, you’ll find a fuse box on the wall by the stairs. Shoot it to receive your second lightning rod.
Third Lightning Rod Location
The third lightning rod can appear as a random drop from a zombie, but many players have had better luck finding it in the castle’s underground area.
At times, we discovered it on the ground after defeating several zombies in the underground region, though we’re unsure of the precise circumstances.
Claim the Lightning Sword
With all three lightning rods collected, head to the right of the cannon and find what resembles a vase. Interact with it to place all three lightning rods you’ve gathered.
This action will prompt a thunderstorm that spawns zombies to attack you. Your objective is to defeat the zombies and wait for your sword to become electrified.
Once your sword is electrified, strike the vase where you placed the rods and repeat this process three times to completely electrify the vase.
Finally, you’ll be able to place your sword to receive the lightning sword, known as the Durendal Sword.
