Elden Ring’s massive and deadly open world is as mesmerizing as it is bloodthirsty. In a world where death lurks behind every corner, it would be great to be able to summon some friendly faces or monsters to help you in a fight which is why this guide tells you how to get the Spirit Calling Bell in Elden Ring.
Spirit Calling Bell location in Elden Ring
The spirit calling bell can be acquired when you talk to Renna but this is not as straightforward as you think. You will first need to go to the Church of Elleh in Limgrave. It has its site of grace which you can find and use.
This can be done at the very start of the game when you have defeated the first boss. You will have to first reach the Gatefront Ruins and activate the site of grace here. After that, take a rest at the fireplace. Melina will appear next to you.
Talk to her and she will give you your horse, Torrent. Now wait for night-time and then either travel to the Church of Elleh or use the Site of Grace if you have already visited. Then talk to a white-colored witch named Renna.
She will call you when you reach the Church. Have a conversation and she will ask you if you can call your spectral steed or horse. When you answer with yes, she will hand over the spirit calling bell along with some other goodies.
Additionally, you can buy the bell from the Twin Maiden Husks at the Roundtable Hold for 100 runes.
How to equip and use the Spirit Calling Bell
The spirit-calling bell can be used to summon spirits from the ashes. To use this bell in battle, you will have to equip the ashes in your slots and then use them from there. There are many ashes that you will find as you progress through the game forth.
The spirit calling bell uses FP to summon spirits and the amount of FP is different for different ashes. So ensure that you have a sufficient amount of FP to summon ashes.
You will also have to be in the vicinity of the Rebirth Monument. When you are close, a small ghostly icon will appear on the left side of the screen. Also, you cannot use the spirit-calling bell in a multiplayer fight. Additionally, you won’t be able to use it if you have already used furled fingers against bosses.
Spirit Calling Bell disappeared from the inventory
The spirit calling bell can sometimes go missing. When that happens, look for it in your inventory. The list might have been reshuffled to show the spirit calling bell at the extreme bottom.
You can use the Spirit Calling Bell when you are in the vicinity of certain areas. When you are in such an area, you will see a small ghostly icon appear on the left side of your screen. This icon comes up when you are in the vicinity of the Rebirth Monument. Also, ensure that you have sufficient levels of FP before doing so.
If none of these work, then try turning your PC/ console off completely and rebooting your system. Launch Elden Ring again and see if it returns.
Renna’s not appearing/spawning in the Church of Elleh
In some instances, Renna may not appear in the game. To fix this, you have to fight a boss called The Tree Sentinel that wanders near a path leading to the Church of Elleh. Do so and die fighting him and then check the church. You should be able to find Renna again to acquire the spirit-calling bell.
Another way is to go to the Church of Elleh and find the site of Grace. After that, go to the Limgrave site of grace and then return. This will also have Renna appear in the church.
If you still can’t find Renna after doing all this, then you can still acquire the spirit summoning bell by going to the Roundtable Hold and looking for Twin Maiden Husks. There, you will be able to buy the spirit summoning bell from the vendor.
