Starting in Bone Bottom

Speaking to NPCs and Learning Mechanics

Once you wake up, speak to the Chapel Maid. The path to the left is blocked so head to the right. Keep going till you reach Bone Bottom.

Speak to the Little Pilgrim. Then, speak to Pebb. She will trade for Rosaries.

We should only have 30 Rosaries so nothing to get from Pebb now. Be careful that if you die, you will loose any Rosaries that are not tied up in strings and you will have to retrieve them.

Speak to Flick The Fixer next. Enter the hut in the middle and speak to the Fearful Pilgrim inside.

You can ring the bells but nothing will happen. Head back out and to the right to exit this area. Up ahead you will meet Sherma.

The Gate with Sherma

Since the gate won’t open, go back and head up.

Climbing and Gauntlet Section

Clearing Enemies and Opening the Path

Go up and to the right and take out the bugs here. Jump over the spikes and keep moving right. At the end climb up.

Go to the right once you reach the smallest ledge. There is a large rhino beetle here.

This thing charges at you, so jump over and behind to take it out. Keep moving to the right and drop down.

Go to the left and break the path leading down. This is a gauntlet.

Once you clear the gauntlet the path below will open up. Drop down and hit the switch to the left to open the gate for Sherma.

Speak to her and go to the right.

Collecting Rosaries and Unlocking Bench

Pick up the Rosary beads from the ceiling. Then go through to the next area. There will be an altar here. Insert 30 Rosaries.

This will give you a bench to rest at. Inspect the marking ahead and you can now exit to the Marrow.

Keep going to the right and once you can climb up before the large metal platform, do so. Move to the left and drop the large wooden platform down.

Jump up to the left and take the charging rhino beetle out. Go around to the left and go up through the opening. In the next area, you will find ledges that break when you stand on them too long.

Climb up here.

Finding the Shard Pendant

Once you reach the skeletal structure with the charging bug on it, head to the left.

You can pick up the Shard Pendant in this room. This will get you the achievement “Equipped”.

Leave this room and climb up to the very top and go left.

Solving Platform Switch Puzzles

In this new area, drop down and hit the switch.

This will drop a platform down and now you can go back around to the top. Beyond the spikes are a bunch of Rosaries.

Go back up and cross over the now dropped platform and head to the left, till you see another switch.

This will drop a platform and create a shortcut back to the central area.

Meeting Shakra

Buying the Marrow Map and Compass

Keep heading to the left towards the sound of someone singing. It’s Shakra, get the map of the Marrows for now in exchange of Rosaries.

Head to the left and go up. On the left here is Mosshome.

Discovering the Tangled Creature

Go to the right for now. Jump over the bells and you will a beast tangled up in webs. You cant cut it down now.

Head back down. There is a locked gate. Go to the right, drop down and head left – away from Shakra. Exit this area. In the next area, you can hear someone whispering.

Secret and Rosary Areas

Go to the left, taking out the enemies here till you reach the end. You can find a bunch of Rosaries here.

Climb up and go to the right. Take out the enemies here and exit the area. Rest at the bench on the other side. You can equip the Shard Pendant if you want now.

I also went and got the Mosslands map off Shakra.

Go to the right, drop down and you will be back above the area where the gauntlet was. Hit the wall on the corner to create a path.

In this secret area, you will find a bunch of Rosaries. With these Rosaries I went back to Shakra to get the compass. Equip it at the bench, instead of the Shard Necklace if you want.

Now head all the way to the right where you climbed up here from and go through the path on the right.

Kill the spear bug here and drop down the shaft. On the left of this is a secret area.

Kill the two bugs here to the left.

You will find a bunch of Rosaries at the end of the tunnel.

Meeting Fleamaster Mooshkta

Unlocking the Wish – The Lost Fleas

Go back out and drop down – till you see the butterfly signpost.

You will meet Fleamaster Mooshkta here. He will ask you for a wish – The Lost Fleas.

Rest at the bench here now.

Frayed Rosary String

Collecting from Corpse and Buying Quill

Climb back up and take the path to the right.

Kill the bug here, watch for the falling rocks and pick up the Frayed Rosary String from the corpse. With this I had enough to buy the Quill from Shakra as well. Once I got that, I went up and to the left towards Mosshome.

Entering Mosshome

Navigating Platforms and Opening Paths

Go to the left in this area and climb up this ledge in the middle and move to the left.

This will get you the Silk Skill Silkspear. This will also get the achievement “Bound”.

Go to the left and clear the silk here with the Silkspear skill. Go around and down to pick up the Frayed Rosary Beads.

Drop down and keep going to the right till you reach the path blocked by Silk. Clear it out. Go through and rest at the bench.

You can promise the wish Berry Picking here.

Save at the bench and head up. Go to the right and break the webbing with Silkspear and prepare for a boss fight.

Boss Fight – Bell Beast

Attack Patterns and Strategies

Phase 1 Attack Patterns

Burrow & Charge: The Bell Beast burrows into the bells and charges from one side to the other. Watch where it emerges to predict the direction.

Jump Attack: The boss jumps from one side of the stage to the other. Stay central and let it jump over you, then attack from behind.

Pop-Up Bell Attack: The beast’s head emerges with bells appearing nearby. Move away from rumbling bells, then jump over the bells that pop up.

Phase Two and Victory Tips

Phase 2 Changes

After the first stagger, the Bell Beast returns with enhanced attacks. A new scream attack causes multiple bells to drop from above. Move to the corners to avoid them.

All phase one attacks continue but with an additional random bell drop that falls throughout the fight.

Keep moving and dodging and he will go down soon. Video below.

After the Battle

Awakening and Consuming the Silk Heart

Once he dies you will wake up in a webbed area. Climb up. You will have now consumed a Silk Heart.
