Description
The bells are the symbols of forbidden love, and the marionettes who defend them do so with zealous passion.
They've been watching over, and ringin', the bells forever. If you seek to stop them, or to ring a bell for yourself, you'll have to face these tiny terrors.1
Equipment
Location
Belfry Luna
Found throughout the map.
Belfry Sol
Found throughout the map.
Drops
- Flame Swathe (Belfry Sol only)
- Fire Whip (Belfry Sol only)
- Rusted Coin
- Bell Keeper Bow (Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin only)
- Bell Keeper Shield (Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin only)
- Awestone (invader only, if you're a member of the Company of Champions covenant)
Strategies
- Melee
- Move out of their melee range when they are in a combo and then move in and attempt to stun lock them with a weapon. Make sure you stay relatively close to avoid them using their bow.
- Magic/Ranged Strategy
- Wait until they have fired the two shots of their bow before you begin the attack. Don't get too risky as they can begin and finish shooting at quite a fast rate.
Notes
- They do not drop any of their weapons or armor, but the Enhanced Undead drop the Bell Keeper Bow and the Bell Keeper Shield. (Dark Souls 2 only)
- You can obtain the armor they wear by reaching Rank 3 in the Bell Keepers.
- A Red Phantom version of this enemy will invade you once in each bell area if you are in offline mode. It is slightly tougher and has the ability dodge your attacks by rolling like other NPC invaders.
