Quick answer: The Temple of Blue Fireflies bell is in a temple courtyard on a terrace in the Village of Lu. From the Well of the Three Puppets, cross the stone bridge, enter the field, then run and jump from the bamboo pile onto the roof.

This route covers Chapter 1 in Phantom Blade Zero, after you defeat Zhuo Bi, the Gatekeeper, on PATHBREAKER difficulty.


Where the Temple of Blue Fireflies bell is

The Temple of Blue Fireflies bell is in a courtyard decorated with blue lanterns, a stone staircase and scattered offerings. This courtyard occupies a raised terrace overlooking a field of houses in the Village of Lu. You reach it over a connecting house roof rather than from the field underneath.

Continue beyond the bridge, where loose planks rest among the stones. A group of enemies stands idle off to one side. The route does not pass near them, and none of them joined in on PATHBREAKER.
