If you want to know what these mysterious Bell Bearings are for and where to find them all in Elden Ring, here’s what you need to know to upgrade your store.
Your new Firelink Shrine in Elden Ring is the hub known as the Roundtable Hold. This is a completely isolated part of the game from the rest of the open world, and can only be fast-traveled to once you’ve been invited. This will happen as a natural part of your adventure, and once there, you will be able to meet and interact with a host of NPCs. These include your trusty blacksmith, some teachers of sorceries and incantations, characters just passing through, and vendors. Of these vendors, the most overlooked one is the Twin Maiden Husks, which you might not even recognize as an NPC at all based on their appearance. The Twin Maiden Husks start out with a fairly limited stock of items that probably won’t interest you all that much. However, aside from just shopping, you will always be given the odd prompt to give them something called Bell Bearings before browsing their stock. Bell Bearings are a rare, limited item in the world of Elden Ring, and this is the only location where they can be used. In a world so big, finding even one of these little metal balls can seem impossible, and the rewards are completely mysterious until you actually hand one over. If you want to know what these Bell bearings are for and where to find them all in Elden Ring, here’s what you need to know. The downside to Bell Bearings being so poorly explained, or rather not explained at all, is the fact that they’re actually really valuable. Just looking at the items available at the Twin Maiden Husks, most people will probably assume they’re not worth it, or forget about them completely since they have no reason to visit this vendor at all. However, each Bell Bearing expands the merchant’s inventory with some incredibly useful items that any type of character will want to gain access to — most important among them being upgrade materials. Once you get one, which we’ll show you the locations of below, all you need to do is hand them over to the husks and they will start selling more items. Here’s what each Bell Bearing you hand over allows you to purchase: There’s a bunch of Bell Bearings to cover, so we’ll get right into it. None of these will come easy (most requiring you to fight a boss of some kind) and many are locked away until later areas of the game so you can’t get too overpowered early on. We’ll go in the order above for simplicity’s sake, but know that this won’t be the order you necessarily will be able to get them in.
