Sha is born with this item.

Usage

The Bell of Gold is one of the four musical instruments which Sha must gather as part of his mission. It, alongside any other instruments, must be played at certain times to acquire the remaining instruments. The other instruments are located as follows:

• Drum of Fire: Partway up the Fire-Tower of Time Tong-tah, the Drum of Fire will be heard. Playing an instrument will have it appear.
• Koto of Wood: At the entrance to Mingke-shu, the Koto of Wood will be heard. Playing an instrument will have it fall from the tree.
• Flute of Water: In Sha's room in the Palace of Dreaming Ping-chao, the Flute of Water can be heard. Playing an instrument will have it appear from Sha's Magatama.

After obtaining all four Instruments, the player can either return to Sha's chamber in Yui-wang, or awaken King-gyou to give him the instruments. Should the player keep the instruments for themselves, they obtain the Little Box of Sound. Regardless of the player's decision, Sha's life quest will be completed, and Rin will acquire Sha's Nameplate.

Trivia

• The Bell of Gold is the only instrument that is capable of collecting all 3 of the other instruments, since Sha begins with it. While the other instruments can also be used to obtain instruments, they can only collect 2 other instruments due to not being able to collect themselves.
