Far Far West hides a surprising number of secret missions across its maps, and the Ghost Bell Shard quest on the Far West map is one of the more satisfying ones to complete. You need to track down 3 Ghost Bell Shards scattered across the map, solve a memory-based minigame at each one, then return to the Church to ring the Great Bell and claim your reward: the Bell Shot Joker, a weapon modifier with a built-in healing mechanic.
The game marks none of this on the map, so here is exactly where to go.
Where do you find the Ghost Bell Shards?
All three Ghost Bell Shards are on the Far West map only. You can run any difficulty and any mission to access them, easy difficulty is the practical choice because the lower enemy count makes navigating between shard locations much less chaotic. All three shards can be collected in a single run.
Start on Easy difficulty to reduce enemy pressure while you hunt the shards. The Bell Shot Joker is available regardless of which difficulty you collect it on.

Ghost Bell Shard 1: behind the Church
The first shard sits in the southern section of the Far West map, on a hill directly behind the Church. You will find it lying on the ground. A body of water sits nearby, which you can go around on foot or cross using your horse's jump. Clear the enemies that spawn in the area before you interact with the shard.
Ghost Bell Shard 2: central hillside
The second shard is in the central part of the map, on top of a hill. Two routes get you up there:
- Use the zipline from a hill to the west of the shard location.
- Climb the rocks on the side of the hill directly.
Watch out for a haunted house that can spawn just behind the hill. It continuously generates enemies, so destroy it before you interact with the shard or the minigame becomes a nightmare.

Ghost Bell Shard 3: northern beach
The final shard is at the far northern edge of the map, on the beach near the water. It sits in front of the reeds. Defeat the enemies in the area first, then interact.
The enemy sequence near each shard respawns if you take too long. Clear enemies before triggering the minigame so you are not getting shot while trying to memorize a bell sequence.
How does the Ghost Bell minigame work?
Every shard uses the same mechanic. When you interact with a Ghost Bell Shard, it spawns 6 floating bells in the air around it. These bells ring one at a time in a random sequence, each bell ringing exactly once. Your job is to shoot them in the same order they rang.
If you forget the sequence, interact with the main bell again to replay it as many times as needed. The sequence is randomized each run, so there is no fixed pattern to memorize between sessions. Once you shoot all 6 bells correctly, the shard transforms into a normal bell you can pick up.
The bell sequence resets every run. If you replay the Far West map, expect a completely different shooting order at each shard.
What do you get for collecting all three shards?
Once all 3 shards are in hand, head to the Church in the southeast section of the map. Use the crates on the western side to parkour up to the top, then interact with the purple Ghost Bell.
This completes the secret mission and rewards you with the Bell Shot Joker. The Bell Shot Joker gives a 5% chance that hitting a weak point spawns a ghost bell near the enemy. Shoot that ghost bell and you receive a small heal.
Either way, the practical value is clear: it is a passive healing source that works with any weapon, which makes it genuinely useful in boss fights where healing items run thin.
Pair the Bell Shot Joker with a weapon you already aim at weak points consistently. The more accurate your shots, the more often the healing proc activates.
