The Chime of Screams is a sacred chime in Dark Souls II: Crown of the Old Iron King.
In-Game Description
- Sacred chime forged from the soul of Nadalia, Bride of Ash. Nothing appears sacred about the frightful design of this chime, but it does have the benefit of raising one's faith.
- The oozing, frozen iron forming the bell seems to anticipate a scream.
Availability[]
Trade the Soul of Nadalia, Bride of Ash along with 20,000 souls to Weaponsmith Ornifex.
Characteristics[]
The Chime of Screams is the slowest casting tool in the game, with a speed of 25. Combined with the low cast speed is lackluster damage in both Dark and Lightning, resulting in average damage in both Hexes and Miracles. However, what makes the Chime of Screams a valuable chime is its ability to raise faith, inverse to the amount of faith the player has; Meaning players with more faith will receive less faith than someone with lower faith, at a maximum increase of +6. The best practical use is for players with low FTH to keep this in the hand opposite of their main casting tool, to raise their FTH to use spells with higher requirements, ignoring its casting abilities.
