Priest's Chime is a Sacred Chime and one of the available Weapons in Dark Souls 2. Priest's Chime can be used by high-ranking clerics as a catalyst for Miracles and Hexes.It boasts fast casting speed and high lightning power, making it an excellent choice for pure miracle casters. It is recommended to infuse it with Lightning as it scales better with Lightning damage than with Dark damage.

Sacred chime granted to high-ranking clerics. A catalyst for miracles and hexes.

Drangleic was the home of many clerics, but King Vendrick held a lukewarm opinion of their powers, and kept them only as attendants to ceremony. In this sense, Drangleic was not the place for a cleric with any ambition.

How to get Priest's Chime in Dark Souls 2

• Found in a chest beneath the Servants' Quarter bonfire in the Lost Bastille after the Ruin Sentinel boss. Take the ladder Down and be aware of the dog (in Scholar of the First Sin edition, be extra careful: instead of having to fight a dog, The Pursuer will spawn in that area instead).
• Can be bought from Titchy Gren in Undead Purgatory for 4000 souls.
• One that has been upgraded to +8 can be found in Frozen Eleum Loyce.
