Beckoning Bell ❘ 狩人呼びの鐘	Multiplayer Item

In-Game Description Great Old Bell discovered in the underground labyrinth. Its ring resonates across worlds, and the first hunter used it as a special signal to call hunters from other worlds to cross the gap and cooperate. A human must use Insight to ring this uncanny bell, but the benefits of cross-world cooperation are many. Note 1: The same in-game description in US & UK versions. ✓ Note 2: Original Japanese text on Original Japanese Item Index page. ✓ Effects Beckoning Bell is strictly for use in online play. If you are playing in offline mode, you won't be able to use this item and it won't affect you. By spending one point of Insight, you can ring this bell and attempt to summon allies. Having other players with you makes things easier, but this can only be done online. Also note that bosses will have additional health for every allied player that is with you when you enter the boss room; they'll have 50% additional health if you have one ally with you, and the boss's health will actually be double the normal value if you have two allies. If you ring the Beckoning Bell, you will enter summoning mode. This costs one point of Insight, so it cannot be performed if you have no Insight. You will be surrounded by a visual aura near your feet, and matchmaking will begin. The Beckoning Bell is unavailable for use in areas where the boss has been defeated. By using the Silencing Blank, you can return summoned allies to their worlds - this will not work for nemeses and invaders, however. Be warned, however, that when you attempt to summon a co-op partner at level 30 or above, a Bell Ringer will appear as well, and begin to summon invaders to kill you. In some areas, regardless of these conditions Bell Ringers will already be present. These areas are the Nightmare Frontier, Nightmare of Mensis and root dungeons with the Sinister Bell rite selected. PvP: Once there's a Bell Ringer in your world, other players will be summoned to fight against you. Usually you need to have a co-op player with you for the Bell Ringer to appear somewhere in the area, but in Nightmare Frontier and Nightmare of Mensis they will always appear when you're online, so entering these areas makes PvP very likely. If you don't want to fight other players then you need to track down the Bell Ringer and kill her. She cannot appear in Healing Church Workshop, Iosefka's Clinic or Yahar'gul (Evening), so these are safe areas. When a player engages you, remember that shooting them as they attempt to heal or use an item will interrupt them, allowing for a visceral attack. Don't let your opponents heal with impunity, or the battle can last a long time! Factional Conflict: Your Oath Memory Slot marks your factional alignment. There are four possible Oath types: 'Corruption' for Vileblood, 'Radiance' for Executioner, 'Hunter' for Hunter of Hunters, and 'None'. Executioner and Vileblood are naturally opposed to each other, and Hunter of Hunters has a set chance to oppose players with no affiliation. By using the Sinister Resonant Bell, you have a 5% chance of becoming a Bloodlust Hunter, which is in opposition to Hunter of Hunters. If you attempt to join a co-op session as a guest and the host is a member of an opposing faction, you will instead be summed with the task of killing the host as a nemesis. For example, if you bear the Radiance Rune and the server's matchmaking pairs you with a player bearing Corruption, you will be summoned as a nemesis, even if you intended to join co-op play! Similar to using the Sinister Resonant Bell, the rewards for killing the host are 10% of the Blood Echoes they require to level up and 1 point of Insight. Availability Treasure in (Main Story): You need to enter Hunter's Dream with at least one point of Insight to acquire; messengers will give it to you Notes In-game description was slightly different on version 1.0 than what there is now on version 1.09. [image] If Host and Guest will be in hostile covenants like Cainhurst Vilebloods and Executioners Guest will be summoned as the adversary rather than cooperator. Note that bosses will have additional health for every allied player that is with you when you enter the boss room; they'll have 50% additional health i you have one ally with you, and the boss's health well actually be double the normal value if you have two allies. Formula for summoning is guest's level has to be within 10+10% (rounded down) of Host's level. For calculating the summoning range use Multi-Player Level Range Calculator. Requires to have boss alive in area to be able to ring. Cathedral Ward requires to open all three main gates to be able to cooperate. Updated: If a player uses the Beckoning Bell or Small Resonant Bell while using a password, it will be clearly indicated that a password is in use. When players use a password, they will be matched regardless of level difference. If the level difference between the host and the guest when matched using a password is large, the guest's stats will be adjusted to match the host's. Since patch 1.06 + 1.07, using an online bell creates ripples at your feet that reflect whether you are trying to leave your world (ripples going outward) like Small Resonant Bell and Sinister Resonant Bell or trying to bring others into it (ripples going inward) like Beckoning Bell. When there are players near you that have used the Beckoning Bell or Small Resonant Bell and are waiting to join a coop session, they will appear in your game as phantom with a ripple effect at their feet. That assumes they are within the correct level range and would be able to match with you. If you watch the way their ripples move you can see whether they are trying to host the coop session or join someone else. Called Lulling Bell in Alpha Tests.
