How to solve the Tormented Souls 2 bell tower puzzle

Bell ringing has a powerful reward.

I’m ashamed to say I felt safest in the tallest part of the Tormented Souls 2 Convent, where rusty cages and bird feces cover every inch of the once sacred and glorious bell tower.

Unlike other Tormented Souls 2 puzzles that have you searching high and low for key items and backtracking until you know the map like the back of your hand, the bell tower puzzle solution thankfully takes place in the same room—and the reward is an absolute game-changer. Why nuns have a Shotgun lying around is unfathomable. This weapon is a must-have, yet it’s encased in glass that cannot be broken by hand, and has received better treatment than the Convent’s Bibles. So what are the singers, and how do we make them sing?

Picking up the Shotgun from the bell tower puzzle

We love the occasional puzzle where you don’t have to go anywhere. All you need to do is ring the bells outlined by the inscription on the Shotgun case. The order to ring the bells is as follows:

  1. Victor: Medium bell, to the right of the ladder.
  2. Big Joe: Largest bell, to the left of the ladder.
  3. Little Claudio: Smallest bell.
  4. Elias: Large bell, opposite the ladder (slightly smaller than Big Joe’s).

With a new weapon in hand and a bell tower to descend, you best keep your eyes on the stairwell as monsters are heading your way. There’s never been a better time to test out that new friend of yours.

How to get the Double-barrel Shotgun

You can pick the Shotgun up relatively early on in your playthrough, but you won’t get the Metal Pipe until your first encounter with the Other Side. To get here, you must first find the Cursed Book in the Crypts via the Prison and deliver it to Joseph. This lets you access the Torture Museum, where you must light the candles on the mirror on the basement level, near a torture table that has a corpse and rusty wheel on it (this is relevant for the Double-barrel Shotgun).

Light the candles surrounding the mirror with Caroline’s Lighter: top left, bottom left, bottom right, and light the two candles above the bottom right candle. The Other Side is now open. Venture inside and turn the wheel at the torture table that now has a scarecrow atop. The scarecrow snaps, letting you return to the real world, where the corpse is split in half, offering the Metal Pipe for you to combine with the Shotgun.
