i love this thing, it's so bad

I have played through this game 6 times now. I thought I made it a point to collect every weapon, armor set, ash of war, spirit summons, spell and incantation on my first character (1 of 6). I have spent hours on this wiki and on youtube absorbing every last bit of this game. I partake in PVE and PVP, watch streamers and engage in the community to this day. I thought there was nothing I didn't know about it, I thought I had seen it all. Today I found this thing for the first time while making a new build prepping for the DLC. I have never been on this page before, I have never seen it used in game or in any of the videos I have watched from all corners of the internet. I thought there was an update I missed, or even possibly a bug that caused some cut content to load into my world. Nope. Been there since day 1. Just Elden Ring still surprising me 2 years later.

WCB scales with both faith and int

Submit

Does this actually do Magic damage ir is that a mistake? Both of the omen bairns say they do holy, which makes sense, and the projectiles are the same.

Submit

Lol just saw the glitch you can perform with erdtree greatshield. You get a machine gun that can even delete fast moving enemies without too much effort in the funniest way I’ve seen

Submit

deals so little damage with 70 faith, I wish it had better scaling

Submit

I suppose it scales, despite what is stated here. With FAI=10, I only get 100 damage.

Submit

Basically a slow glintstone pebble that does not take a spell slot. Deals similar damage with same fp cost.

Submit

thop barrier make it tp

Submit

Budget Swarm of Flies for the Faithless and/or Arcaneless Gigachads.

Submit

this should have a revenant set to increase its damage

Submit

Flies slowly but surely, so it is very unlikely to miss its mark; unless your target is one who simply refuses to sit still even after dodging.
The biggest advantage of this bell is that you can use it from horseback even while galloping at full speed — similar to the mounted Wraithcallers — making it a very safe tool for finishing off foes in the field you don't feel confident in getting close to. Try it against Draconic Tree Sentinel!

Holy sht, the range on this one is ridiculous

How to find it in version 1.00

Submit

The bell ringing Woman rings a sinister bell..

Submit

Put away your throwing knives and use this to draw individual enemies out. Gives you plenty of time to prep another attack.

Submit

i want kaiden horse

Submit

It doesn't slow you down if you use it while riding Torrent, so you can dash and cast it at the same time.

Ring-a-ding-ding Tarnished!

Correction: This bell scales with int and faith - just tested it.

Submit

Uses stamina, but unlike other weapons, will still fire when you have 0 stamina.

Submit

can we make a challenge that this is your only weapon?

Submit

The underestimated cheesing tool due to its insane range. Stand on a ledge. Aim. The hit draws enemies to the ledge but they can't hit you, and what ranged attacks they have are easy to back away from. Then spam them with ranged and aoe attacks.

Submit

The funny bell...

Submit

It’s just neat and I like it

Submit

This thing is perfect to kill those anoying dragonfly. (and farm them if you need their head)

Submit

The best use for this in my opinion is to lure out ancestral spirits that shoot long-range arrows. When they are hit by this (which has a very long ass range) they start running toward you instead of shooting.

Submit

Ngl we should’ve had wraith incantations, here’s my reasoning:
1: gives us another int/fai magic school, and int/fai didn’t get a lot of love in this game (no infusion, average/boring spells, only one special weapon that scales int/fai).
2: means that the wraith abilities are no longer linked to some crappy tools, two of which are very easy to miss.
3: allows the wraith abilities to be buffed by spell affecting talismans/buffs
4: maybe we could get the cool weapon buff and wraith breath the Omens have ( speculation, highly unlikely)

Submit

A good cheese stat for Rahdahn if you're stuck is to ride around on horseback ringing the bell from far away while you summon your pals to tank for you, the near-unlimited range basically guarantees he'll be constantly trying to refocus his aggro and whittle down his health

Submit

"Those who worship Revenants."
Well, that's some rather disturbing lore. Wonder what it says in the original Japanese. Because that sounds like one of those things with a twist to the translation to be discovered.

I used this to knock a guy off the ladder to the fallingstar beast in Mt. Gelmir. Probably the funniest use I've found for it so far.

Submit

Also known as the funny

Submit

Well i set out originally to create a Sun Bro. My char being a spiritual successor to my DS2 pure Faith caster build (people think it cant be done but trust me it melts everything). Heals and Lightning bolts left and right. Byt something was missing ... and FINALY I HAVE FOUND IT!! My CHIME! It may be pretty much useless tool but idgaf. Ill still skip about in the lands between reviving the glory days. Praise the SUN [T]/

Submit

Great tool for luring out.

Submit

Last chanche to look at me Hector

Submit

Don't sleep on this item: It's a VERY effective pulling tool. It's range is longer than most other spells, and it only costs 7 FP. Any build can afford that.

It's not going to kill anything, but you can use it to finish foes or to attract them to things that will.

Submit

i like to psychologically torture people with this thing during invasions

Submit

Budget way to save on glintstone scraps if you were going to absorb your own bullets for your carian retaliation shield spectral blades.

Submit

Terrible damage but great for those long range targets! Perfect for nailing treasure scarabs that are surrounded by powerful enemies and at from a far distance.

Submit

Unlike any magics of the Rancor family, the wraith summoned by this bell can be summoned while moving at speed on your horse. It also lasts an incredibly long time and has good tracking, making it excellent at finishing off General Radahn, dragons, or other bosses that cover a lot of ground very fast.
You can also use it to trip up the approach of an enemy Tarnished, which makes it easier to secure hits by attacking in concert with it.

I like to use this for harrying attacks and interruption on my STR/FAI build, much like throwing Rancor Pots. Gives me access to something very similar to Rancorcall without having to, you know, have that frustrating build.

Submit

This is garbage and needs a buff. Even if you are running a faith/int build with 79 in both which I main. Glintstone Scrap straight up beats this in fp and damage output. Testing all done on the giant at Secluded Cell before the Godrick fight. Glintstone Scrap: 4 fp hits for 370. Wraith Calling Bell: 7 fp hits for 177. Again I'm running an optimal build with the Wraith Calling Bell and it's still not out performing Glintstone Scrap which is bunk, I can't imagine how bad this is on a non hybrid caster build.

Submit

Walking forward with this while holding the Erdtree Greatshield, then using Golden Retaliation when you're on top of the projectile turns it into a free Golden Retaliation shot. If there's actually a use for this bell, this one kinda works.

Submit

Its good to poke around enemies and very useful for those "Seek 3 Wise Beasts" Puzzles on the towers because of its long range.

Submit

Immune to sleep as well.

Submit

what damage type are these

Submit

Used it to kill the malformed star. Ding ding ding, shield and repeat

Submit

Doing 95 damage on ng+ to the guys around laskyar with 80int 20 faith

Submit

Using this with my Pyromancer build; the long range and precise homing is excellent, seeing as fireballs love gravity, as well as being able to fire of 6 to home in on a foe while I prepare to charge up some spells while they run headlong into them. Excellent against flying foes, these can knock bats out of the sky and will then proceed to turn and follow them down to the floor. FP cost isn't bad, and the damage is good enough to take out weaker enemies in 2-3 hits and is better with the Ritual Sword active. Enemies hit by these will aggro to you, while their comrades will be like "what was that?" allowing any summons you have to aggro on them as they sprint across at you while the rest sit about. Works GREAT on horseback, as your direction has 0 influence and you can just trot away slowly while shooting multiple as enemies try to catch up.

Submit

something of small note but using a shield with thops barrier, when faced with NPC enemies that use the bell, the wraiths will not be dispelled but pushed away/around the barrier, and will continue to pursue you (unless it gets redirected into an object or ground). Unsure if this applies to Player summoned wraiths; requires further testing.

Submit

Be wary of pointless (post patch 1.04).

Submit

Was this item not available in version 1.0 of the game?
I've gone to the location where it spawns in the newer versions but I can't find it there...

Submit

Deals magic damage, and is buffed by magic scorpion and your flask buff . Odds are, you’ve only seen this in PVP to trigger the gross carian exploit, but it has some uses. The tracking is quite good and it will follow for a long time. I like to use from neutral just before going in to attack, and as a wake up on riposte/guard break/launch so it follows them if they try to run to heal. Fills the same niche there as cuckoo glintstones without the need to craft.

Submit

Who the hell is going to have 600 of these things?! Challenge accepted

Submit

Ding ding

Submit

It's not showing in my inventory?

Submit

I didn't see anyone else mention it, but Golden Retaliation works on this similarly to Carian Retaliation. Not so sure about the damage numbers, but it might be worthwhile if you happen to have a faith/strength build.

Submit

Anyone know if this is still broken or has been patched??

Submit

For anyone interested in this, be aware that it's designed to be used by Int/Faith hybrids. That said, it's still useful regardless of your specific magic build. It has a slow projectile speed, great tracking, and an OBSCENE range -- longer than max lock-on distance. When used on horseback it barely slows you down and the projectile can fly backwards with ease, making this a decent way to fit in extra damage while kiting enemies on Torrent. The damage/FP efficiency is alright, but the special traits are really what you'd be paying the extra FP cost for. It's also one of the few methods available for Faith builds to deal magic damage. Terra Magicus works quite well with it given that you typically don't need to move while sniping, and even more so if you're playing with friends who also have the bell since TM is a party buff, and all allies being in one spot means the enemy is just gonna run straight into the stream of projectiles. Because of this, it can make for a pretty solid field boss opener. Omen Bairn and Royal Omen Bairn, by contrast, have shorter range and deal more damage. Their damage is also holy rather than magic, despite the attack looking extremely similar.

Submit

For anyone that's curious, the spell deals magic damage. It does not deal holy damage or build-up death blight.

Submit

This thing mixed with the ash carian retaliation is completely busted. I just went through a small rampage in the Siofra area and nearly 2 shot the local crucible knight using just this.

Submit

Has a D Faith scaling incase anyone is wondering. Not strong enough to build around but adds a small amount of ranged damage for melee faith combos

Submit

This is not a consumable. It is a reusable key item, just like the Mimic Veil.

Submit

BEGONE DRAGONFLY

Submit

It looks kinda like a curse homing projectile spell. Does this proc any curse build up?

Submit

I've seen people make this attack invisible. Is it invisible to the person it's locked on to or is there a way to make this invisible?

Submit

Note: If the shield ash of war (Carian Retaliation) is used immediately after this bell, you can parry the projectile for some homing glintblades.

Side note: Shield scaling for damage is broken as of the latest patch (1.03) and carian retaliation is putting out massive damage, likely 10x what is intended. Around 5k on the builds I've seen, but there could be more damage found in testing.

Interesting combo with mighty shot. Given the right timing you can snipe anything with target lock!

Submit

as of now (1.03) you can use this with Shield WA Carian Retaliation, parry this projectile and you get instant knife (use magic affinity on shield and upgrade it)

Submit

Cast this then use the Carian Retaliation parry instantly. You will do a truck load of damage with the 3 magic swords that appear. This scales with INT

Submit

You can use the bell and then immediately parry the slow moving projectile with Carian Retaliation to activate it. Not sure if intended but does decent damage if Carian Retaliation is on a shield after the buffs

Submit

If you time it well... you can use it to combo with a mighty shot with the bow! If an enemy is moving around, sniping it with the target lock and the bow will fail. now with this bell... It's only a matter of timing. You can also use it for pvp for baiting a roll and mightyshotting the ennemy just after the roll. Pretty fun !

Submit

Just use Carian Retaliation with it and deal 2k+ per cast lmao

Submit

Fast and long lasting homing projectile good for making invaders stutter a bit to stop them from running from you ha.

Submit

Boss: Noooo you can't keep spamming magic homing projectiles as a melee build they are eating through your FP and they don't even deal that much damage stop bullying me you're not even a caster noooooo
Me: haha bell goes bing bong

Submit

Similar to hunter tools from BB, the FP cost, fact that using it lets you ride full speed, tracking, and utility made me try out a build centered around int/fth, I respecced my character to have 40 int/fth and was disappointed that the damage only increased by 60, with literally 9/9 it did 89 to godrick soldiers, while at 40/40 it did 153, to compare one could do 400+ damage with glintstone pebble and only 40 int. another issue is that it doesn't have a very good stagger, along with the other wraith death spells, so overall what could have made for an interesting archetype in pvp/pve with slow moving projectiles like death ranchor and the bell underperforms to the point of unusability. Shame too because the spells look cool and so does the bell.

My only last question is what type of damage does this weapon do? I think it deals magic because it's damage falls off HARD against carian scholars just like any sorcery, doing only like 40 damage to them with 40/40 but it somehow does poor damage against other sorcery weak enemies like crabs.

Submit

Doesn't do great damage if you're already a ranged character. May be good for a melee character that needs a ranged weapon but doesn't have the carry weight available for a ranged weapon.

Submit

It's a reusable item and costs 7 FP on cast.

Submit

OP

Submit

can it be use multiple times, or only once?

Shoots a gold black homing bullet similar to enemies in the area where its found
