Bell Keeper Bow is a weapon in Dark Souls 2. Bell Keeper Bow strikes a balance between physical and lightning damage. It scales with both Strength and Dexterity. It is a reliable choice for those who seek adaptability in their ranged arsenal.

 

Wooden bow used by bell keepers.

Very light, and requiring hardly any strength.
 
The bells symbolize forbidden love; the bell keepers, their faithful guardians, ever-ready to annihilate trespassers.

They will stand watch for ever and ever, these determined, if ill-fated, marionettes.

      this bow is absolutely amazing because you can actually wield it on sl1 with nothing but a work hook for stat boosting, also it is the only bow in the game that can be wielded by a sl-44 character using work hook + strength ring + dexterity ring.
      it doesn't matter how much damage the bow itself does as most of its damage will be coming from poison and poison build up is unaffected by the bow, scaling etc. meaning this bow is just as good for poisoning enemies as any other bow would be.
      the supposedly low fire rate is still much better than the poison throwing knives plus unlike knives you can actually aim this thing.
      overall an absolute game changer for a sl1/sl-44 character

        "Slower arrow firing rate than other bows"
        Meanwhile, Bell Keepers can fire three arrows per second at you. How many cheating enemies need to be in this game?

          Someone should point out that in the non-SotFS version the requirements are much higher (8 strength and 19 dexterity). Wasted time farming the deformed scorpion beasts only to learn the requirements were completely different for this item in the vanilla version of the game.
