Bell Beast Location

This massive creature resides within a bell-filled chamber in The Marrow, initially restrained by resilient webbing. Early-game attacks prove ineffective, requiring acquisition of the Silk Spear ability from Mosshome’s western region. After obtaining this skill, return to dismantle the barriers.

Victory against the Bell Beast unlocks its transport capabilities. Three primary assaults demand careful timing:

  • Throw: Hurls dual projectiles that ricochet across the battlefield
  • Launch: Executes an aerial leap with ground-shaking impact
  • Charge: Burrows underground before emerging at high speed

Advanced phases introduce descending bells from above, necessitating split-second aerial maneuvers.
