The Bell Tower is a ruined landmark standing in the central, western portion of Mistria's town, and it remains inaccessible until late in the main story. You restore it by completing the story quest Repairing the Bell Tower, which serves as the finale of the base game's plot before the post-game begins. Repairing the tower also opens its interior and rolls the credits, and the building hides a bonus secret: a chicken dance Easter egg added in version 0.11.4. This guide covers the unlock requirements, the full material list, the rewards you earn, and the secrets waiting inside the tower.

What Is the Bell Tower and Where Is It?

The Bell Tower sits in the central, western portion of town, close to the heart of Mistria, which makes it one of the most visible structures in the village. Like the rest of the town's renovation projects, its repair is tied directly to the main storyline's push to restore Mistria. Despite that prominence, the building stays sealed for most of a playthrough — the game blocks entry until the late stages of the story. A pond sits next to the tower where you can fish, although a bug prevented fishing there until it was fixed in version 1.0.

The location also changed noticeably across Early Access updates. In version 0.1.6, the developers fixed a bug that let players slip into the interior before the tower was actually unlocked. The interior itself did not exist until version 1.0, so anyone who played earlier builds will remember the tower as a purely decorative silhouette on the town skyline.

How to Unlock the Repairing the Bell Tower Quest

Two conditions gate this quest, and both take real effort. You must first complete the story quest Expanding the Saturday Market, and you must also reach the Mistril Town Rank, which requires 760,000 reputation in total. Once both requirements are satisfied, talk to Eiland to accept the quest and begin the repair.

In the overall storyline, this quest carries more weight than almost any other. It concludes the quest line started by Repair the Platform and acts as the finale of the base game's plot, after which the credits roll and post-game content begins. One naming note: wiki.gg records the quest as Repairing the Bell Tower, while some guide sites list it as Repair the Bell Tower, but both names refer to the same quest.

Materials Needed to Repair the Bell Tower

Restoring the ruined tower is a straightforward gathering job once you know the shopping list. Your first task is to collect the following materials:

  • 30 Wood
  • 2 Iron Ingots
  • 2 Fabric
  • 1 Silver Ore

The raw materials are the easy half. Wood comes from chopping down trees on your farm or in nearby areas, while Silver Ore is mined from the silver-colored ore nodes found in the Mines or the Deep Woods using your pickaxe. If you would rather buy than gather, Balor's cart sometimes stocks both Wood and Silver Ore, so check his inventory whenever his shop is around.

The crafted materials take a little more preparation. Iron Ingots must be smelted in the Furnace from Iron Ore, which is also found in the Mines. Fabric is made on the Loom from 5 Fiber per piece. Because the Mistril Town Rank requirement is so large, you will have plenty of time to stockpile all of these while working on reputation. Once everything is in your inventory, head to the Bell Tower and interact with it to restore the building to its former glory, which triggers a cutscene that continues the main story.

Repairing the Bell Tower Rewards

Completing the quest hands you several concrete rewards on top of the story payoff:

  • 40 Town Rank points
  • Gold Bars — the exact number is unclear in the source material 待确认
  • 1 Fancy Fountain, a decoration you can place on your farm

The narrative reward is even bigger. Finishing the quest rolls the credits and unlocks the post-game content, which includes new dialogue and new events, and lets you keep playing to improve your relationships with the townsfolk and finish any remaining collections. In practice, repairing the Bell Tower is the moment your save shifts from the main story into open-ended town life.

Inside the Bell Tower: Interior and the Ladder

For most of the game the tower is an empty shell, but completing Repairing the Bell Tower opens the interior. Inside, you will find a ladder that carries you up through the tower to the top. Media on the official wiki shows the climb spanning several levels, including a 4th floor, so expect a vertical trip rather than a single room. The interior is also where one of the game's best-hidden secrets is tucked away.

The Music Sheet Hunt and the Secret Chicken Dance

Added in version 0.11.4, the Music Sheet Hunt turns the repaired tower into the stage for a hidden Easter egg. Nine music sheets can be found around town as part of this mini-quest, and your goal is to collect all of them. Once the full set is in hand, interact with a "hidden" mechanism behind the left window of the Bell Tower's interior to unlock a secret song.

The secret song's effect is charmingly absurd. Play it while one or more chickens are nearby and the birds will assemble in front of the tower and perform a dance together. Because the mechanism is tucked behind the left window, it is easy to overlook without a guide. Nothing about the dance is required for story progress — it is a pure reward for curious players who keep exploring after the credits have rolled.

Quests That Take Place at the Bell Tower

The tower is not a one-and-done location. According to wiki.gg, the following quests take place in whole or in part at the Bell Tower:

  • Repairing the Bell Tower — the main-story finale that restores the building
  • Broken Mirror
  • Mirror Plane
  • Deep Sleep
  • Music Sheet Hunt — the hidden music sheet mini-quest

The wiki does not detail how each of these quests uses the location, only that each one touches it in some way. Treat the entries after the repair quest as return visits that keep the building relevant later in the game. Since the tower stands in the central-western part of Mistria, those return trips are quick to navigate once you know where it is.

Bell Tower Version History

For players tracking how the location evolved during Early Access, wiki.gg records the following changes:
