FAQ
Do enemies respawn when you rest at a bell?
No. The director confirmed in October 2026 that defeated enemies stay dead for good.
Can you fast travel between regions?
Yes. Traverse at a bell takes you to any bell you have rung, in any region. Travelling straight from the map, away from a bell, costs a Traversal Talisman.
What do the red threads near a bell mean?
They mark a bell you have not found yet and point toward it. Ringing that bell also uncovers its part of the ink-painted map.
How many bells are there?
Each region's tracker has its own count: 23 in Weeping Creek Valley, 19 in Crimson Forest and 18 in Mandate Encampment. Named ones include Cliffside Walkway Overlook in Mandate Encampment and Vessel Pond in Pangzhen.
What is a Crane Bell?
A bell held in the beak of a bronze crane; the game's tutorial calls them Crane-Shaped Bells. Resting at one relives a past memory and uncovers Zuo Shang's lingering memories in the Discordance, and the tutorial asks you to gather every clue to uncover the truth. The first is at The Axemaster's Fall after Peng Meng, the next at Lóng Pillar Overlook, where Mu Tianmiao says the bell's ringing makes the body's Sha-Chi stronger.
Does 66 Days save at bells?
Yes, and only there: on 66 Days the game saves automatically when you touch a bell, with no manual saves. Reloading an earlier save resets the death count.
