How To Get Bell Bearing Hunter Sword

Hey Tarnished! Wanna feel like a real threat? Then you gotta snag the Bell Bearing Hunter's Sword in Elden Ring. It’s not just a weapon; it's a statement. A statement that says, “Yeah, I hunt merchants who sell cool stuff. What about it?” Kidding! (Mostly.)

But seriously, this sword is pretty awesome. Let’s talk about how to get your grubby mitts on it.

Who is This Bell Bearing Hunter Guy Anyway?

Good question! The Bell Bearing Hunter is basically the embodiment of buyer's remorse... but for merchants. He's a recurring mini-boss with a serious vendetta against those who dare to sell you things. He only pops up under very specific conditions. Think of him like a vampire, but instead of blood, he craves merchant tears. Spooky, right?

Where to Find This Jerk (and His Sword)

Okay, here’s the lowdown. You won’t find this guy chilling in some dungeon waiting to be discovered. Nope. He's a bit more… exclusive. You need to trigger him at specific merchant locations, and only at night. Oh, and he replaces the merchant. Imagine going to buy some arrows and suddenly BAM! Giant red dude with a sword that's way too big for him. Fun, huh?

There are a few places he can spawn, so here's your hit list:

How to beat Bell Bearing Hunters in Elden Ring | Eurogamer.net

Warmaster's Shack (Stormhill): This is likely the first place you'll encounter him. Fast travel there at night. If Roderika is there, then it's not happening. The area needs to be “fresh.” If you rest during daytime, come back at night again.
Church of Vows (Liurnia of the Lakes): Head to the Church of Vows (the one with Miriel, the Turtle Pope) at night. Prepare for a fight alongside your shelled friend!
Hermit Merchant's Shack (Capital Outskirts): Once you have reached the Capital Outskirts, fast travel to the shack at night and prepare for the Hunter.

Important note: It must be nighttime. If it's daytime, rest at the Site of Grace until nightfall. Also, if you see the merchant already there, rest at the Site of Grace and try again. Persistence is key! He's a picky eater...I mean...fighter.

The Fight: Strategy Time!

Alright, so you found him. Now what? This guy hits hard. He’s not messing around. Here’s the game plan:

He's weak to parries: If you're good at parrying, go for it! It’s a risky but rewarding strategy.
Summon help: Don’t be afraid to summon some spirits or, better yet, a friend! Teamwork makes the dream work (and makes the Hunter much less scary).
Use ranged attacks: If you're a mage or have a decent bow, keep your distance and pepper him with projectiles. He's surprisingly mobile for such a big dude, but you can still get some hits in.
Exploit his openings: He has a few attacks that leave him vulnerable. Learn his patterns and punish him accordingly.

Basically, don’t be greedy. Get in a few hits, then back off. Rinse and repeat until he's down. Remember, patience is a virtue, especially when facing a giant red nightmare with a penchant for ruining merchants' livelihoods.

The Spoils of War (aka: That Sweet Sword)

Okay, you finally did it! You beat the Bell Bearing Hunter. Congrats! Now for the reward: the Bell Bearing Hunter's Sword. This weapon is a Strength/Dexterity-focused colossal sword.

The unique skill is pretty sweet. It’s called "Bloodflame Blade". It enchants the blade with bloodflame. This provides blood loss buildup on top of the weapon's Holy damage. It's like putting hot sauce on your already spicy chicken wings.
