Hello everyone!

The Bell Echoes has released a June 12 hotfix.

This hotfix adjusts the required number of 【Bell Echoes】 for main story progression, improves the 【Ore】 settlement rules, fixes an issue with Ore costs for Gem crafting, and fixes a missing material issue in a Memory Fragment scene.


Main Story Progression Requirement Adjusted

The required number of 【Bell Echoes】 for progressing the main story has been reduced.

Before adjustment:

  • Chapter 2: 1

  • Chapter 3: 3

  • Chapter 4: 6

  • Chapter 5: 8
    Chapter 5 is not yet available.

After adjustment:

  • Chapter 2: 1

  • Chapter 3: 3

  • Chapter 4: 5

  • Chapter 5: 7
    Chapter 5 is not yet available.


【Ore】 Settlement Rules Adjusted

The amount of 【Ore】 obtained during Corrupted Zone settlement has been adjusted.

Ore rewards are now calculated based on remaining Gold, Source Essence, equipment, and items.

Overall, players should now obtain more Ore from Corrupted Zone settlement than before.


Gem Crafting Cost Fix

Fixed an issue in the current version where the Ore costs for crafting Tier 2 and Tier 3 Gems were too low.

After this fix, the required Ore costs for related Gem crafting will return to their intended values.


Gem Workshop Upgrade Adjustment

【Recycling Technique】 Effect Adjustment

Since the overall amount of Ore obtained from Corrupted Zone settlement has increased, the bonus values of 【Recycling Technique】 have been adjusted.

Before adjustment:

  • I: Ore recovered during Corrupted Zone settlement +15%

  • II: Ore recovered during Corrupted Zone settlement +30%

After adjustment:

  • I: Ore recovered during Corrupted Zone settlement +10%

  • II: Ore recovered during Corrupted Zone settlement +20%


Bug Fixes

Fixed Missing Materials in Memory Fragment 【Two Similar People】

Fixed an issue where materials were missing in Edward’s story scene in the Memory Fragment 【Two Similar People】.


Thank you all for your feedback on the new version.

We will continue to adjust meta-progression pacing, the Gem system resource flow, and fix various issues based on your gameplay experience.
