Sinister Resonant Bell ❘ 共鳴する不吉な鐘	Multiplayer Item

In-Game Description A blood-stained bell discovered in the old underground labyrinth. One of the resonating bells that cross the gaps of worlds, but this one knells for misfortune and malice. The Sinister Bell is an object of dark thoughts. Ring it to become the enemy of a hunter in another world. Note: Online use only. Cannot use this item offline. Note 1: Different in-game description (right) in US (1) & UK (2) versions (more). ✕ Note 2: Original Japanese text on Original Japanese Item Index page. ✓ Effects Sinister Resonant 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. The Sinister Resonant Bell acts as the counterpoint to the Small Resonant Bell. When you ring it, rather than offering help to players in other worlds, you're signifying hostile intent and will join their game as an invader once a connection has been established. Once you ring the bell it will continuously look for someone to invade as long as you're in an area where invasion is possible. To acquire this bell you'll first need to have picked up the Beckoning Bell, after which you'll be able to purchase it from the Insight shop for 1 point of Insight. By ringing the Sinister Resonant Bell, you can be summoned as an invader by a Bell Ringer to the world of another player. Your goal as an invader is to kill the host, Once the host has died, you will receive 1 point of Insight and 10% of the Blood Echoes required for the host to level up. If you are killed, or the host reaches the area boss, you will be sent back to your world unrewarded. The Silencing Blank can be used to return to your own world though will also result in no rewards. Bell Ringers will appear to a host of level 30 and above with at least one summoned ally. A Bell Ringer can summon only one invader (exception are Sinister Dungeons) at a time and will cease summoning until the current invader has returned to their world. Blood Addled Status - for Hunter Caryll Rune Blood Addled status is applied at a 5% chance when ringing the sinister bell. The player does not need to invade or kill another player to become flagged. One can ring the sinister bell over and over again and become Blood Addled. Blood Addled status is cleared when killing a boss as a cooperator. Blood Addled status is not cleared by hosting a cooperator and killing the boss. Blood Addled status is not cleared in NG+. Player will not become Blood Addled by killing NPCs in the story mode. Player will not become Blood Addled by a Sinister Bell Maiden spawning in a Nightmare area or Co-Op. If invaded this way, killing the invader the player will not become Blood Addled. Availability Sold by: Insight Bath Messengers [Hunter's Dream] Notes Available for purchase after buying Small Resonant Bell. Ringing this bell will spawn the Bell Ringer into your world, which opens you for invasions from other players. If the boss is defeated for the area, Bell Ringer will not spawn. For calculating the invading range use Multi-Player Level Range Calculator. Adversary's health is reduced to 70%. In unpatched version 1.00 Small Resonant Bell and Sinister Bell are sold separately, instead of Sinister spawning after buying the other one. [img] 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.
