To get the exploitative, boss-slaying Wraith Calling Bell in Elden Ring, Tarnished must explore a small ruin found within Liurnia of the Lakes.
The Wraith Calling Bell is a reusable Tool in Elden Ring that consumes 7 FP to summon a Wraith that will chase down a single target. The damage output of the Wraith is suboptimal to dedicate the bell for frequent combat. Yet, the projectile features both exceptional range and tracking, reaching enemies beyond the max lock-on distance. Furthermore, the bell can be rung in succession to cast one Wraith after another in Elden Ring and can also be used atop Torrent. The Wraith Calling Bell ringing animation is shared with the Spirit Calling Bell.
However, the main appeal of the Wraith Calling Bell is its ability to exploit the Ash of War: Carian Retaliation. After summoning a single Wraith, Tarnished can parry the projectile mid-air with a shield imbued with Carian Retaliation, causing three retaliatory Glintblades to spawn and launch at a single target after a brief delay. The attack power of the Glintblades is significantly higher than the base damage of the Wraith Calling Bell. Moreover, the FP cost and cast time are highly efficient for the damage output. As a result, multiple Rememberance speedrunners use the bell as their "primary weapon" to quickly take down bosses in Elden Ring.
To get the Wraith Calling Bell, Tarnished must explore the Laskyar Ruins in Liurnia of the Lakes. Elden Ring fans can find this location by following the marshland trail northwest from the East Liurnia Map Fragment. It should be noted that although the bell can be acquired from the very start of one's adventure, the exploitative Ash of War: Carian Retaliation only becomes available once Tarnished have defeated the boss of Caria Manor, Royal Knight Loretta. Accordingly, adventurers are advised to be at least Levels 40-50 before facing her.
Wraith Calling Bell Location In Elden Ring
Starting from the Lake-Facing Cliffs Site of Grace, leap down the small jump puzzle on the right to reach the Liurnia Highway. Travel north to arrive at the Purified Ruins and head into the wetlands west of the landmark. Tarnished can get to the Laskyar Ruins within several seconds atop Torrent. Be cautious of the Elite Ghoul guarding the vicinity. Dismount and enter the crypt entrance on the western side of the ruins. Down below, players will find a small chamber with a closed door. Open the door to find the Wraith Calling Bell within a chest.
To get the Carian Retaliation Ash of War, Tarnished must find Pidia, the secret merchant of Caria Manor. Elden Ring fans can find him by approaching the rooftops of the estate from the Three Sisters sub-zone in the west. As mentioned above, this area is inaccessible through normal means until Loretta's spirit form has been defeated.
