In the vast world of Elden Ring, collecting bell bearings is essential for securing infinite supplies of valuable consumables and crafting materials. Among these key items, the Gravity Stone Peddler's Bell Bearing allows players to purchase unlimited gravity-based offensive tools directly from Roundtable Hold. Securing this item requires surviving a challenging miniboss encounter in one of the game's higher-level regions.
Locating the Isolated Merchant Shack
To begin your search for this bell bearing, you must travel to the Dragonbarrow region situated in northern Caelid. Your destination is the Isolated Merchant's Shack located along the northwestern cliffs. A Site of Grace is available right at the shack, making fast travel and rest fast and convenient.
If you have not discovered this location yet, follow the main northern road heading west toward the coast. Be cautious while navigating Dragonbarrow, as the local enemies deal massive damage to lower-level characters. Once you activate the Site of Grace inside the shack, you are properly set up for the fight.
Triggering the Bell Bearing Hunter Spawn
The Gravity Stone Peddler's Bell Bearing is not lying on a corpse or hidden inside a treasure chest. Instead, it drops after defeating the dangerous Bell Bearing Hunter that invades this spot. However, this formidable boss only appears under specific nightfall conditions.
Rest at the Site of Grace and change the time of day to night. After setting the time to night, rest at the grace one additional time or reload the area to make the resident merchant disappear. Step outside the shack, and the red spectral boss will spawn near the entrance.
Tactics for Defeating the Boss
The Bell Bearing Hunter is a aggressive opponent capable of striking from surprising distances using telekinetic sword attacks. Maintaining a medium distance can be dangerous because his floating blade features wide, sweeping arcs. Parrying his melee swings or dodging closely to his left side provides reliable offensive openings.
Using heavy stance-breaking weapons or applying status effects like blood loss can quickly turn the tide in your favor. If you struggle in close combat, riding Torrent or casting spells from atop the shack roof offers a safer alternative. Defeating this enemy immediately rewards you with the desired bell bearing.
Unlocking Infinite Gravity Stones
Once you possess the Gravity Stone Peddler's Bell Bearing, head directly to Roundtable Hold. Hand the item over to the Twin Maiden Husks to permanently expand their shop inventory. This addition remains active and carries over into future gameplay cycles.
With the bell bearing turned in, you can buy infinite quantities of Gravity Stone Fans and Gravity Stone Chunks. These consumable items deal solid physical damage and excel at breaking enemy stances or staggering flying targets. Having unlimited access to them adds versatile ranged options to any character build.
