Elden Ring Player Beats Final Boss With Wraith Calling Bell

FromSoftware titles have long embraced eccentric weapons and outfits. While players sporting jars as helmets or wielding bubble sprayers might seem odd, the Wraith Calling Bell hardly registers as unusual—yet witnessing someone defeat Elden Ring Nightreign’s final boss, Heolstor, with this mystical chime is nothing short of mesmerizing.

YouTuber Syrobe recently showcased a flawless solo Recluse run, relying solely on the Wraith Calling Bell to topple Nightreign’s formidable Nightlord. This impressive feat not only demonstrates sheer skill but also reveals intriguing gameplay mechanics currently emerging in Elden Ring Nightreign.

Throughout the run, Syrobe strategically deploys the bell’s spectral minions against enemies. Don’t be fooled by its unassuming appearance—this tiny chime summons fragile wraiths that chip away at foes. Attempting boss fights with such a whimsical tool instead of Elden Ring’s conventional arsenal might seem futile, yet Syrobe proves otherwise.

The victory hinges on Syrobe’s patience, precision, and ingenious use of mechanics. A standout technique showcased early in the video allows spellcasters—or bell-ringers—enhanced mobility while attacking. This clever trick could revolutionize magical combat builds.

Beyond tactics, Syrobe meticulously crafts a run optimizing FP regeneration, strategic upgrades, and optimal routing for solo success. Notably, this achievement was accomplished entirely alone.

The Wraith Calling Bell’s potential isn’t lost on other players either. Multiple content creators have published their own supernatural bell-led triumphs over Nightreign’s Nightlords, sparking debates about whether FromSoftware should rebalance this unexpectedly potent item.

"It’s a viable early-game option for magic builds," remarked a r/Nightreign user. "Hardly more overpowered than Executioner builds shredding early bosses with bleed effects."

Others argue the bell simply fills a niche for struggling casters lacking conventional tools. Whether it warrants adjustment remains debated, but its recent dominance in Nightreign’s meta is undeniable.
