The Bell of Mourning Echoes Quest Guide – Complete Walkthrough

Welcome, Travelers! I’ve spent countless hours exploring Nod-Krai’s frozen landscapes to bring you this comprehensive guide on The Bell of Mourning Echoes quest. This hidden World Quest isn’t just another checkbox on your journey – it’s your gateway to unlocking the formidable Local Legend Sigurd, one of the most challenging boss fights in the new region. Whether you’re a completionist hunting for achievements or simply curious about Nod-Krai’s lore, this guide will walk you through every step of this mysterious quest.

The Bell of Mourning Echoes Overview

The Bell of Mourning Echoes stands out as one of the most intriguing World Quests in Genshin Impact’s Luna I update. Unlike typical quests that appear automatically or through NPC interactions, this one requires you to become a detective, searching for three ancient relics scattered across Lempo Isle. What makes this quest particularly special is its connection to Sigurd, a legendary Lightkeeper whose tragic story echoes throughout Nod-Krai’s history.

How to Start The Bell of Mourning Echoes Quest?

Unlike most World Quests that begin with a simple conversation, The Bell of Mourning Echoes requires proactive exploration and combat. The quest automatically triggers once you’ve collected all three required relics from Tideseal Stones across Lempo Isle. These aren’t your ordinary collectibles – each relic is protected by manifestations of the Wild Hunt, spectral enemies that have haunted Nod-Krai since ancient times.

Required Items to Start the Quest:

1. Undying One’s Mourning Bell – Found west of Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop
2. A Horn Unwinded – Located at the northernmost point of Starsand Shoal
3. Dyed Tassel – Discovered on the western coast of Barrowmoss Barrens

The moment you obtain the third relic, The Bell of Mourning Echoes quest will automatically begin, marking the start of your journey to understand Sigurd’s legacy and confront his tormented spirit.

Complete Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Step 1: Finding the Undying One’s Mourning Bell

My first stop was the area west of Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop, where the first Tideseal Stone awaits. Here’s exactly how to find it:

1. Teleport to the waypoint nearest to Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop
2. Head directly west, following the snowy path downhill
3. Look for a glowing blue crystalline structure – that’s your Tideseal Stone
4. As you approach, Sigurd’s spectral form will materialize, accompanied by Wild Hunt enemies

Combat Tips for the First Tideseal Stone:

• The Wild Hunt enemies here include Spectral Hounds and Wraith Warriors
• They deal primarily Cryo damage, so bring Pyro characters for advantage
• Watch for the notification “Tideseal Stone is ready” during combat
• Use Kuuvahki Energy (the new Nod-Krai mechanic) to interact with the stone and stop enemy spawns
• Defeat all remaining enemies to complete the seal

Once victorious, you’ll receive the Undying One’s Mourning Bell and a Precious Chest containing additional rewards.

Step 2: Obtaining A Horn Unwinded

The second relic lies at Starsand Shoal’s northernmost point, a location that offers breathtaking views of Nod-Krai’s aurora-lit skies:

1. Use the teleport waypoint at Starsand Shoal
2. Journey north along the frozen coastline
3. The Tideseal Stone sits on a small ice platform overlooking the sea
4. Sigurd appears again, this time with stronger Wild Hunt manifestations

Combat Strategy for Starsand Shoal:

• This encounter features Elite Wild Hunt Sentinels with higher HP
• They can summon ice barriers – use Claymore users or Geo characters to break them quickly
• The arena is smaller here, so positioning is crucial
• Consider bringing a healer as the damage output is higher than the first encounter

After claiming victory, you’ll receive A Horn Unwinded and another Precious Chest.

Step 3: Retrieving the Dyed Tassel

The final relic awaits on Barrowmoss Barrens’ western coast, directly opposite Starsand Shoal:

1. Teleport to the western Barrowmoss Barrens waypoint
2. Head toward the coast, watching for the distinctive blue glow
3. This Tideseal Stone is partially hidden behind frozen ruins
4. The final Wild Hunt encounter is the most challenging yet

Final Battle Preparation:

• This fight includes a Wild Hunt Commander – a mini-boss with multiple phases
• Bring your best DPS characters and ensure they’re properly built
• The Commander can drain energy, so characters less reliant on Bursts perform better
• Stock up on food buffs if you’re struggling

Upon defeating this final challenge, you’ll obtain the Dyed Tassel, triggering the quest’s next phase.

Step 4: Speaking with the Lightkeepers

With all three relics in your possession, the quest marker directs you to Nasha Town:

1. Teleport to Nasha Town’s central waypoint
2. Look for two NPCs with glowing quest markers near the fountain
3. Approach and initiate dialogue with the Lightkeepers
4. They’ll share the tragic history of Sigurd and explain the relics’ significance

The Lightkeepers reveal that these items were Sigurd’s personal effects, imbued with his lingering regrets. They task you with returning these relics to his grave, hoping to grant his spirit peace.

Step 5: Placing Items on Sigurd’s Grave

The final step takes you to Blue Amber Lake’s southern region:

1. Follow the quest marker south of Blue Amber Lake
2. You’ll find an ancient gravestone overlooking the frozen waters
3. Interact with the grave to place all three relics
4. A cutscene plays, showing Sigurd’s spirit materializing

Boss Fight – Local Legend Sigurd: After placing the relics, Sigurd manifests as a Local Legend boss. This isn’t part of the quest completion, but it’s your reward for the journey:

• Sigurd uses enhanced versions of Wild Hunt abilities
• He has three phases with different attack patterns
• Defeating him grants valuable ascension materials for Nod-Krai characters
• You can challenge him daily after unlocking

Tips and Strategies for Success

After completing this quest multiple times across different accounts, I’ve gathered some valuable insights:

Team Composition Recommendations:

• Main DPS: Characters with consistent damage output (Check current tier list)
• Pyro Applicator: Essential for breaking Cryo shields quickly
• Healer/Shielder: Bennett or Zhongli work excellently
• Flexible Slot: Anemo for crowd control or another DPS

Preparation Checklist:

1. Character Levels: Minimum Level 80 for comfortable clearing
2. Weapon Enhancement: Level 80+ weapons recommended
3. Artifact Sets: Proper main stats more important than set bonuses
4. Food Buffs: Adeptus’ Temptation and Defensive foods
5. Elemental Potions: Frostshield Potion reduces Cryo damage by 35%

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

• Ignoring the Tideseal Stone mechanic – Always seal it when prompted to prevent overwhelming enemy spawns
• Fighting all enemies at once – Use terrain and movement to separate groups
• Neglecting elemental reactions – Wild Hunt enemies are weak to Melt and Vaporize
• Forgetting to mark relic locations – Use map pins to track which ones you’ve collected

Understanding the Lore Behind the Quest

The Bell of Mourning Echoes isn’t just about combat and rewards – it tells a poignant story about duty, sacrifice, and redemption. Sigurd was once Nod-Krai’s greatest Lightkeeper, defending the region against the Wild Hunt for decades. However, constant exposure to their corrupting influence eventually consumed him, transforming the protector into the very threat he fought against.

The three relics represent different aspects of Sigurd’s life:

• The Mourning Bell: Used to warn villages of approaching Wild Hunt
• A Horn Unwinded: His signal for fellow Lightkeepers to gather
• Dyed Tassel: A gift from his daughter, stained with his tears

This quest beautifully illustrates Genshin Impact’s storytelling depth, weaving personal tragedy into the broader narrative of Nod-Krai’s ongoing struggle.
