Far Far West Guide: How to Find All Bell Locations and Unlock the Bell Shot Joker
Stop Running in Circles: Your Complete Map to the Hidden Bell Minigames
Quick Answer: To unlock the powerful Bell Shot Joker, track down three hidden ground bells scattered across the Far West map, complete a sequence-shooting memory minigame at each spot, and then climb to the roof of the southeastern Church to claim your prize.
Running and gunning through hordes of robot cowboys is a blast, but ignoring the environment means leaving serious upgrades behind. The Far West starter map hides a notoriously tricky musical puzzle right under your nose.
You cannot just blindly fire at random objects and expect a payout. The game demands you find three unmarked locations, clear out the local threats, and conquer a memory test. I spent hours mapping out the exact coordinates and mechanics so you can skip the frustration and secure your loot.
How to Solve the Bell Minigames
Before you start sprinting across the desert, you need to know what you are actually looking for.
When you approach one of the correct locations, you will spot a primary bell resting on a rock or the ground. Interacting with this object kicks off the minigame. A sequence of ethereal purple bells will spawn and float in the air around you. You must memorize the exact order they appear and shoot them in that sequence.
If you shoot the wrong target, the puzzle fails. Luckily, you can just interact with the ground bell to reset the sequence and try again. Because you need to stand perfectly still to aim at the floating targets, do yourself a massive favor and obliterate any nearby monster spawners before starting the event.
Pinpointing the Three Puzzle Locations
The map is massive, and these puzzle spots are deliberately hidden away from the main traversal paths. Here is a quick reference table to get you oriented, followed by the exact hiding spots.
| Puzzle Name | General Location | Exact Hiding Spot |
| Southern Bell | South of the Church | Inside a semicircle of large rocks, just across the water. |
| Central Bell | Middle of the map | Sitting exposed on top of a tall boulder above the bottom-level grave. |
| Northern Bell | Far northern edge | Tucked away next to a patch of reeds along the shoreline. |
The Southern Rock Circle
You will probably stumble into this one first since it sits close to a major landmark. Start at the Church and head straight south across a small body of water. Look for a very distinct, circular formation of massive rocks. Step right into the center of the ring to find your first target.
The Central High Ground
Push into the middle of the map near the grave situated on the bottom level. You are hunting for a highly elevated boulder. The objective sits directly on top of it. This rock is actually an amazing defensive position. Basic melee enemies cannot figure out how to climb it, giving you a completely safe vantage point to clear the zone before triggering the puzzle.
The Northern Shoreline
This is easily the hardest spot to track down because it sits on the absolute edge of the playable area. Walk due north from the central boulder until you reach the water. Follow the coastline until you spot a dense cluster of reed plants. The objective is hiding right beside them. Be highly aggressive here, as this specific shoreline loves to ambush you with multiple monster spawns at once.
If you find yourself constantly dying while trying to reach these remote corners of the map, your core mechanics might need some tuning. Take a quick detour and check out our Far Far West Guide: Essential Beginner Tips for Frontier Survival to learn how to stay alive under pressure.
Claiming Your Reward at the Church
Do not immediately extract after you shoot the final sequence. You still need to collect your prize.
Travel all the way back to the Church in the southeast quadrant of the map. Walk around to the left exterior wall. You will spot a convenient stack of wooden boxes. Jump up these crates to mantle your way onto the church roof. One final bell is waiting for you up there. Interact with it to permanently complete the secret. The game hands over the loot instantly, meaning you do not even need to extract to keep it.
What is the Bell Shot Joker?
All that trekking around the desert rewards you with the Bell Shot Joker. This loadout card is an absolute game-changer, especially during the early hours of your playthrough when healing is scarce.
Here is exactly what the card provides:
- A 5% chance to spawn a healing ghost bell every single time you hit an enemy weakspot.
- A cap of two active healing bells on the field at the same time.
To actually utilize this passive healing, you have to head back to the saloon lobby. Talk to the gunsmith and slot this card into a primary weapon. Just be aware that this is a heavy-duty upgrade, and it requires a gun with two open Joker slots to equip.
