Requirements and progression
The reliable requirement is the quest’s intended unlock within version 1.0’s town-progression path. NPC Studio’s v1.0.2 notes specifically prevent entering the tower by glitch before that unlock, reinforcing that access should follow normal quest progression.
Exact repair quantities circulated in secondary guides are not reproduced here because the supplied research pack marks them for another current-version check. Use the material requirements displayed by the active Repair the Bell Tower quest.
Step by step
- Update to version 1.0.2 or later. This includes both Bell Tower fixes documented after launch.
- Advance the town-repair and rank progression until the quest unlocks. Do not use an early-entry glitch as a substitute for the quest.
- Track Repair the Bell Tower in the quest log. Collect and submit the requirements shown by the current build.
- Complete the repair before treating the tower as freely accessible. Normal progression is the supported path.
- Use the ladders normally rather than rapidly repeating the interaction. The crash is fixed in v1.0.2, but deliberate interaction still avoids confusing older bug reports with current behavior.
Version 1.0.2 fixes
The patch makes two Bell Tower changes:
- Players can no longer glitch into the Bell Tower before it is unlocked.
- Interacting with Bell Tower ladders in quick succession no longer crashes the game.
If an older report recommends early entry or warns that every ladder use crashes, it describes pre-fix behavior rather than the current baseline.
Check the wider v1.0.2 crash and softlock listHow the Bell Tower connects to completion
The tower is part of the broader 1.0 town-restoration expansion. Town Rank Quests now guide progression, the Renown cap reaches 100, and the Town Repair questline can be completed. Steam also tracks the repair through Ringing Ovation, making the tower relevant to both progression and achievement completion.
See the Town Rank 100 progression overviewCommon problems
- The tower is visible but access is blocked: continue the intended quest path; v1.0.2 explicitly blocks pre-unlock entry glitches.
- An online list gives different materials: trust the current quest log until the list is checked against your installed build.
- A ladder crash report appears current: verify the report’s game version, because v1.0.2 contains a direct fix.
- Ringing Ovation remains locked: confirm the repair quest is fully completed and then review the achievement on the updated build.
