Bells in Deepwoken, also known as resonances, are powerful abilities players can unlock as they progress. Each bell comes with unique effects, hidden stats, and corrupted variants that offer both bonuses and drawbacks. This guide breaks down all bells, their abilities, and how to use them effectively.
What Are Bells?
Bells are items worn on your character’s waist and are activated by pressing C. They are earned through a hidden bell progress bar, which fills by completing certain activities such as defeating Chaser Fman. Each bell has randomized hidden stats, so your bell may differ from others. Bells also have corrupted variants, which improve hidden stats but apply one of four potential downsides:
- 10% wither on HP
- 40 sanity loss
- 7% unkillable HP drain
- 15% blood bar drain
Some corrupted bells have unique effects like self-burn, which is rare.
