If you are looking to get any of the four elemental swords in the Black Ops 6 Zombies Citadelle des Morts map, you must first know how to get the Stamp and use it to obtain the Bastard Sword, the base weapon required for getting the new sword wonder weapons.
Citadelle des Morts is the third map in Black Ops 6 Zombies.
It is a multi-layered map filled with new easter eggs, enemy types, a new elite zombie, secrets, mythical Wonder Weapons, and much more.
The map is also much more challenging than Liberty Falls and Terminus.
But thanks to the new elemental swords combined with the Melee Macchiato Perk and the right Gobble Gums, going through the different rounds in Citadelle des Morts is easy peasy!
While obtaining each sword is a series of tasks of its own, for all four, you need the base sword called the Bastard Sword.
With all those side details out of the way, let us check out how you can get this Stamp item and the location of the Bastard Sword in Black Ops 6 Zombies.
How to get the Stamp

In Black Ops 6, you can get the Stamp item as a drop from the zombies with the helmet.
At the start of the game, they don’t spawn and only start to appear once you reach round 11.

As you can see in the above screenshot, I was on round 11 when the zombie with the helm started spawning.
These nuanced zombies do not take headshot damage.
Moreover, they don’t count towards the round progress as they mainly spawn so you can get more than enough Stamp to get all four elemental swords.

As you can see, I already had a Stamp on me, and by round 13, I had many lying on the ground.
Pro Tip
If you leave one zombie at round 11 and kill the special zombie with the helm, you will get a Stamp.
If you wait a few seconds, another one will spawn, and you can kill it to get another stamp.
You can keep doing this to get four Stamps in round 11 only!
Black Ops 6 Zombies Bastard Sword location

All four Bastard Swords in Citadelle des Morts are found on the Knight Statues in the Castle Courtyard area.
I have marked its location in the above map screenshot and shared detailed steps on how you can reach it below:

When you start the match, take the path on the left or right to reach the main castle gates.

You will need to go through two Door Buys! The first one costs 750 Essence.

The second one costs 1000 Essence.
Once in the area with the main castle’s entrance, you must use the Canon to blast through the door.

The Canon is on the rampart opposite the main castle door, as marked in the screenshot above.

Take the path I have marked in the above screenshot to reach the Canon.

Once you are there, interact with the Crank to rotate the Canon.

After that, you must head behind the Canon and press the interact button to fire it.

Doing so will give you access to the main castle in the Citadelle des Morts map.
Now, take any of the paths I have marked to reach the Courtyard area.

When you arrive on the Courtyard balcony, you can see four Knight Statues.
These Knight Statues hold the four Bastard Swords.
How to use Stamp

In Black Ops 6, you can use the Stamp to interact with the Knight Statues to get the Bastard Swords.
Even though there is no prompt, granted, you have a Stamp on you;
Interacting with the Statues will give you the Bastard Swords required for the particular Elemental Swords Wonder Weapons.
