Where to Find the Mirrorwood Lóng Pillar Bell in Phantom Blade Zero (Crimson Forest)

Quick answer: The Mirrorwood Lóng Pillar bell is a wooden cross in front of a giant dragon statue at a red-lit cave mouth. It sits in the creek basin past the gorge behind the Iron Fever clearing in Crimson Forest.

Where the Mirrorwood Lóng Pillar bell is

The bell stands in Crimson Forest, at the far end of a creek basin ringed by red cliffs. Its wooden cross sits in shallow red-lit water in front of a carved dragon statue with glowing red eyes, at the mouth of a cave. On the map, its pin lies to the right of and below Cliffside Lodge. The closest bell on the way in is Mirrorwood Entrance.

How to reach the Mirrorwood Lóng Pillar bell

Start at the Mirrorwood Entrance bell and climb down both ladders into the muddy clearing below. On your first visit, Stone Hand Iron Fever attacks you here.

From the bottom of the second ladder, walk around the boulders to the roots of the big pale tree against the rock wall, roughly 18 metres away. A shaded stone path climbs through the rocks behind the tree. Take it uphill for about 25 metres until it drops you into a dark, narrow gorge.

Follow the gorge. Around 45 metres in, a patch of blue flowers grows at the base of a huge gnarled tree on your left. It is petal I of Inanis’ Memory Flower.

Follow the route to a lantern post set on a lit rock. Step back from it and look overhead for a grapple anchor on an overhanging branch; it displays the “L Ctrl” prompt. Press Left Ctrl and the chain pulls Soul up to a ledge roughly 9 metres above the path.

The ledge’s forward trail ends at a rock beside a bare tree, so don’t take that route. Instead, face the opening with a view of the waterfall and descend about 25 metres to the creek basin surrounded by red cliffs.

Make your way about 25 metres across the basin to the opposite end. There, the dragon statue stands beside the red-lit cave entrance; the E prompt appears as you get close.

Walk up to the wooden cross in front of the dragon statue and press E to rest at the bell.

Enemies guarding the creek basin

Expect a fight before you can reach the cross. A Flame-Crazed Bandit wielding a burning sword and an axe-wielding Corrupted Brute attack as a pair, with firebomb-throwing thugs also occupying the basin. On PATHBREAKER, the default difficulty, beating the bandit and the brute together took three healing gourds.

Fire hits leave you burning, and the burn keeps eating your health for a while even after you step away. Heal early rather than waiting for it to wear off.

Until you ring this bell, dying in the basin sends you back to the Mirrorwood Entrance bell, and the whole route has to be walked again.
