The Duality dungeon is the three-player endgame content to hit Destiny 2 released back in May 2022. This quest takes players into the mindscape of emperor Calus to steal his darkest secrets.

Destiny 2 ‘ringing bells in Duality dungeon kills players’

Destiny 2 players have been facing an issue in the ‘Conquest in the Duality’ dungeon where ringing the Bell causes the player to die (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)

In this quest, when you approach the room with the four statues, the objective is to flip each one so that it points inwards. Every statue in the nightmare will have a button that will rotate the actual statue 90 degrees.

To do so, players must travel to the nightmare mindscape with the help of the Bell of Conquest. However, when players hit the bell, they instantly die.

This is absolutely infuriating as they are getting killed unnecessarily and their no-death record is being ruined.

we’re getting pretty close to a full season since duality’s release, and it’s still easily capable of just instant killing you because the bell bugged out in every encounter (especially the last one) or because the stun failed to properly apply to caital, or just a myriad of other bugs like spawning outside the encounter zone.

Basically one of the mechanics is that you need to shoot a bell to get teleported to another location. Sometimes for no reason the bell just kills you and it’s been like that for 6 months now

Potential workarounds

In the meantime, there are a couple of potential workarounds that might help you fix this issue. The first one involves ringing the bell while your character is mid-air:

Secondly, don’t activate the bells while enemies are still spawning in the final encounter. Instead, clear the room except for one enemy, then shoot the bell.
