Bell Bearing Hunter (Warmaster’s Shack)

Values below are for solo play on the first playthrough. HP is maximum health. Temporary protection and other state changes are explained in the notes.

• This hunter gives Bone Peddler’s Bell Bearing, which unlocks Thin Beast Bones and Hefty Beast Bones at the Twin Maiden Husks.
• Bernahl’s own bell bearing and equipment come from different circumstances. Defeating the nighttime visitor does not kill Bernahl or finish his later quest.
• The Deathbird appears out in the nearby troll field, not inside this shack. Both are night encounters with different rewards.
• The local merchant disappears during the night encounter and returns afterward. You do not need to kill the merchant to obtain this hunter’s bell bearing.
• If the hunter does not appear immediately, speak to the merchant during an ordinary visit, pass time until night, then rest again or reload the area before approaching.
• His red sword can leave his hand and sweep a wide area at a distance. A retreat that looks safely beyond ordinary sword reach can still be inside the next attack.
• Close range makes the ordinary swings easier to follow, but watch the shield slam. If the shield glows red, wait for the follow-up burst before moving back in.
• The grab has a delayed wind-up. Watch for the hand actually reaching toward you instead of dodging as soon as the red glow begins.
