FromSoftware games have always embraced unconventional weapons and attire, but one of the latest trends in Elden Ring Nightreign might just surprise you: the humble Wraith Calling Bell. While players are often seen wielding unique gear, including jars on their heads or quirky bubble-sprayers, the Wraith Calling Bell has emerged as a surprisingly powerful tool in defeating some of the game’s toughest bosses.
Syrobe, a popular YouTuber, recently posted a solo run where they managed to take down the formidable Nightlord Heolstor using only the Wraith Calling Bell. Watching this victory unfold is both entertaining and insightful, showcasing some of the newest techniques being explored in Elden Ring Nightreign right now. The Wraith Calling Bell might seem unassuming at first glance-it’s just a small bell that rings out and summons wraiths to attack enemies-but when used strategically, it proves to be much more effective than one might think.
The real magic behind Syrobe’s success is their patience, skill, and the clever techniques they use to remain mobile while casting spells, particularly ringing the bell. This specific technique allows casters to maintain mobility, something that’s been a game-changer for many players in their builds. It’s a nifty trick that could easily be applied to future runs for those interested in casting-based playstyles.
Beyond just mastering the Wraith Calling Bell, Syrobe focused on optimizing their solo run, making sure to generate enough FP recovery, find useful upgrades, and carefully craft a route to success. The fact that Syrobe completed this challenge solo makes the achievement even more impressive, as it proves that even unconventional tools can be effective with the right approach.
Interestingly, Syrobe isn’t alone in experimenting with the bell. Other YouTubers have also begun exploring its power, with some successfully using it to clear bosses like Heolstor. This has sparked discussions on social forums, with players debating whether the bell might need a tuning from FromSoftware. Some argue it’s a reasonable early-game option for caster-focused players, while others point out that it’s not necessarily overpowered, but rather a helpful tool when better weapons or tools are unavailable.
Whether or not the Wraith Calling Bell is too strong, one thing is clear: it has made a significant impact in Elden Ring Nightreign recently.
