How to Repair the Bell of Demoncalm in Where Winds Meet
The Bell of Demoncalm is one of those artifacts you’ll want to unlock sooner rather than later. Why? Because it applies a region-wide debuff to world bosses in Qinghe, making them significantly easier to tackle even if you’re underleveled. If you’ve been struggling with tough boss encounters, repairing this ancient bell might be the edge you need.
The process isn’t straightforward though. You’ll need to gather collectibles, unlock specific progression milestones, and navigate a partially destroyed tower on Moonveil Mountain. This guide walks you through every step so you can get that powerful buff active.
Where to Find the Bell of Demoncalm
The Bell of Demoncalm sits at the Peak of Moonveil Mountain inside the Peace Bell Tower in the Qinghe region. The tower has seen better days – a recent battle between two powerful martial artists left it in ruins, and the bell itself is damaged and unusable until you repair it.
Getting to the Tower:
- Fast travel to Blissful Retreat or the nearest unlocked waypoint
- Head south from Blissful Retreat and follow the slope upward
- You’ll encounter an Aureate Brigand camp – clear out the enemies here
- Continue climbing the road until you reach a Waystone (teleporter)
- The Peace Bell Tower is just beyond the Waystone
When you arrive, talk to the bellwright standing at the entrance. He’ll explain what happened to the tower and give you context about the damage. Don’t try climbing the tower yet – most areas are locked until you complete the repair quest, and you’ll only find a few chests and clues without the proper item.
Climbing the Peace Bell Tower
Once you have the Bronze Bell Fragment (more on that below), you’ll need to navigate the damaged tower to reach the bell itself. Here’s the climbing route:
Step-by-Step Tower Navigation:
At the Entrance:
- Return to the tower entrance and look to the left side
- You’ll see scaffolding – climb onto it and start moving upward
Inside the Tower:
- Enter through the breach in the wall
- Climb the interior stairs until you reach a window
- Exit through the window where battle damage has left everything broken
- Look up for a grapple point and press G to climb
On the Roof:
- Once you’re on the roof, look to your right for an opening
- Follow the makeshift wooden plank bridges
- Continue upward using the stairs
Final Ascent:
- Exit through another window
- Look for a piece of cloth you can grapple to (press G again)
- Enter the tower through the opening
At the Top: You’ll finally reach the Bell of Demoncalm. Without the Bronze Bell Fragment, the bell remains unusable. But once you have that key item, you can complete the repair and activate the region-wide boss debuff.

How to Get the Bronze Bell Fragment
Here’s where things get interesting. The Bronze Bell Fragment isn’t just lying around – you’ll need to earn it through the Melodies of Peace system.
What is Melodies of Peace?
Melodies of Peace is essentially Where Winds Meet’s collectible completion system. You gather Oddities (special collectibles scattered throughout regions) and turn them in to unlock stat bonuses, special items, and progression milestones. Think of it as a reward track for thorough exploration.
The Bronze Bell Fragment is locked behind the final tier of this system called The Music of Yongping.
Requirements to Unlock the Bronze Bell Fragment:
- Complete The Music of Yongping milestone
- Finish all Harmony nodes within that tier
- This essentially means collecting all Oddities in the Qinghe Region
Yes, that’s a lot of collecting. But the payoff is worth it – not only do you get the Bronze Bell Fragment, but you’ll also unlock various stat boosts and other rewards along the way.
For a complete breakdown of the Melodies of Peace system, our Melodies of Peace Oddities Harmony guide has everything you need.
Collecting the Bronze Bell Fragment:
Once you’ve completed The Music of Yongping:
- Head to Qi Sheng’s stall (he’s the vendor associated with Melodies of Peace)
- Approach the table
- Press E to manually search and collect the Bronze Bell Fragment
Don’t forget this step – the item doesn’t automatically go to your inventory. You have to physically pick it up from the table.
Repairing the Bell of Demoncalm
With the Bronze Bell Fragment in hand, you’re ready to complete the repair and activate the boss debuff.
Here’s what to do:
- Return to Moonveil Mountain – use the teleporter at the Peace Bell Tower entrance for convenience
- Talk to the bellwright at the tower entrance again
- Climb the tower using the route described earlier
- Interact with the Bell of Demoncalm at the top
- Use the Bronze Bell Fragment to repair the bell
- Ring the bell to activate the global buff
Once repaired and rung, the Bell of Demoncalm applies a region-wide debuff to all world bosses in Qinghe. This debuff:
- Lowers their defense, making them take more damage
- Reduces their damage output, making encounters more survivable
This is especially helpful if you’re a few levels below the recommended threshold for certain bosses. Speaking of tough fights, if you’re struggling with specific encounters, our guides on how to beat Qianye and how to beat Elder Gongsun might help.
Why the Bell of Demoncalm Matters
The Bell of Demoncalm is more than just a cool artifact – it’s a practical tool for progression. World bosses can be brutal, especially if you’re tackling them solo or slightly underleveled. The debuff gives you breathing room to learn attack patterns, deal meaningful damage, and actually survive long enough to claim victory.
It also rewards thorough exploration. If you’re the type of player who enjoys hunting down collectibles and completing side content, the Melodies of Peace system ties that effort directly to combat advantages. It’s a smart design choice that makes exploration feel rewarding beyond just finding loot.
Additional Tips
Prioritize Oddities Early: Don’t wait until endgame to start collecting Oddities. As you explore Qinghe naturally, mark and grab collectibles as you find them. This spreads out the grind and prevents burnout from backtracking later.
Use the Map Tracking Feature: The game lets you track Oddities on your map. Use this feature to systematically clear areas rather than wandering aimlessly.
Combine with Other Buffs: The Bell of Demoncalm stacks with other buffs like healing charges and skill upgrades. For maximum effectiveness in boss fights, make sure you’ve also unlocked more healing charges and progressed your skill trees.
Don’t Skip Exploration Content: Features like the Bell of Demoncalm show that Where Winds Meet rewards players who engage with side content. If you’re only rushing the main story, you’ll miss powerful tools that make progression smoother.
Take Breaks Between Bosses: After ringing the bell, test it out on some world bosses to see the difference. You’ll notice they’re much more manageable, which makes farming them for materials and experience far less frustrating.
