Crimson Desert: All Toll of Pywel Bell Locations to Unlock the Full Map
Unlocking the full map in Crimson Desert is a rite of passage for any adventurer. At Digital Tech Explorer, we’ve spent hours traversing the rugged terrain of Pywel to bring you the most efficient path to discovery. To reveal the continent’s secrets, you must complete the Toll of Pywel quest, which involves ringing eight ancient bells scattered across the northern and southern reaches of the map.
The journey begins with a first bell in Hernand, situated right near Kliff’s starting point. However, the remaining seven will push your exploration skills to the limit. As TechTalesLeo, I’ve mapped out these locations to ensure your journey through Pywel is as seamless as possible.

Mastering the Toll of Pywel
While most of the eight bell locations are accessible early on, several are tied to story progression. If you find a bell but the cutscene won’t trigger, the area is likely still considered “hostile.” You must secure the zone through story missions or local objectives before the Pororin Forest Guardians NPCs will appear to acknowledge your progress.
Quick Reference: All Bell Locations
| Location Name | Region/Requirement | Bell Placement |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Hernand | Starting City | Tower west of the Tavern |
| 2. Scholastone | Chapter 4 (Southwest) | Upper courtyard near the experiment site |
| 3. Calphade | Northeast / Thalwynd Village | Church bell tower |
| 4. Pailune | Chapter 7 / Far North | Small harbor tower (east side) |
| 5. Demeniss | East / Story Required | Large tower northwest of the Cathedral |
| 6. Delesyia | Far East Continent | Clockwork tower south of the Castle |
| 7. Tommaso | Northeast / Desert Region | Climbable structure in the city north |
| 8. Varnia | Extreme North | Highest palace dome (puzzle required) |
1. Toll of Hernand

Easily identified to the west of the local tavern, this bell triggers the Toll of Pywel faction quest. Ringing it introduces you to the Pororin Forest Guardians, who task you with finding the remaining seven markers to fully chart the continent.
2. Toll of Scholastone

The Scholastone Institute sits high in the mountains southwest of Hernand. While reachable early, it is best visited during Chapter 4. Navigate the staircases past the golden globe device to reach the south end of the upper courtyard where the bell resides.
3. Toll of Calphade

Located in Thalwynd Village, west of Calphade Castle, this bell is accessible regardless of your story progress. Head to the Church of Calphade and climb the tower to claim this piece of the map.
4. Toll of Pailune

Patience is key here. You must complete the Dawn section of Chapter 7 before this bell becomes interactive. It is located in a small tower on the eastern edge of the capital’s harbor.
5. Toll of Demeniss
The Demeniss bell is found in the sprawling city east of Hernand. To ring it, you must first progress the story until the city is no longer a hostile zone. Look for the massive tower northwest of the Cathedral of Demeniss; it is one of the most prominent structures on your city map.
6. Toll of Delesyia
In the far east at the Delesyian Institute, you’ll find a bell that reflects the region’s unique aesthetic. The tower is easily spotted by its steampunk machinery and rotating clockwork gears. It is located just south of Deleysia Castle, across the river.
7. Toll of Tommaso
Venture into the northeast desert to reach Tommaso. The bell is located in the northern sector of the city. You won’t find a simple ladder here; instead, you’ll need to climb the exterior of the structure to reach the ringing mechanism.
8. Toll of Varnia
The final challenge awaits in the northernmost reaches of Pywel. The Varnia bell is housed within the palace’s highest dome. This location features a minor environmental puzzle: you must climb beneath the dome and activate a handle to lower the bell within reach.
