Quick answer: The Red Serpent House bell is a red-lit wooden cross just past the big double gate on the low road below the Forest Outpost in Crimson Forest. The gate opens only with the Forest Outpost Courtyard Key.
Where the Red Serpent House bell is
In Chapter 1 of Phantom Blade Zero, the bell can be found in Crimson Forest. Look for a red-lit wooden cross among scarlet foliage, standing before a large home with a grey tiled roof and stone walls. From the Forest Outpost village, take the lower road through the double gate and continue a short distance. The map marks the spot as “Red Serpent House”. These directions use PATHBREAKER, the default difficulty.
How to reach the Red Serpent House bell
What resting at Red Serpent House unlocks
The first time you rest at the bell, the map opens on the new “Red Serpent House” pin. The region panel reads “CRIMSON FOREST” and shows “Map Completion : 12%”, up from 11% before. That change confirms the bell is registered.
The bell menu carries the title “Red Serpent House” and lists Traverse, Upgrade Equipment, Store, Train Abilities, Save and Leave.
Once you’ve rested there, Red Serpent House becomes a Traverse destination, so you can fast travel back to it.

| Find | Distance from bell | Where |
|---|---|---|
 Ancient Timber | About 10 metres | Roadside heap |
| Remnant Dust +916 | About 38 metres | Roadside heap further down the road |
Ancient Timber serves as an upgrade material for Phantom Edge. After the bell, cross the small bridge built for carts, then follow the stone trail uphill to a long plank roadway and a plateau guarded by a Butcher and a group of dogs. The Cliff of Longing bell stands above the plateau, past a stone staircase and a bandit campfire.
