The Bell Alarm is a device that alerts Granny to your location once tripped. It makes a dinging sound when set off. It does this as a bell (located on a nearby wall, well out of the Player's reach) will ring if the Player walks over the tripwire connecting it. Granny or any items cannot activate bell Alarms if they were to be dropped on the tripwire.
Appearance
It is a black tripwire attached to a small golden bell. It runs across the floor and up the wall, where it is strung up onto a short, thin piece of dark wood, and then tied onto the tip of the bell, making it ring.
Locations
There are two Bell Alarms in the game:
- One is located in the Foyer, running across the ground floor section, from the side of the stairs to the left of the Main Door, effectively blocking the Player from crossing straight across from the Basement (or nearby areas) to the stairs.
- The other one is located in the Backyard, running from the Guillotine to the wall. This one is very easy to avoid as the Player only has to walk around the other side of the Guillotine to access the Playhouse or the Shed.
Avoiding
You can avoid the one in the Foyer. Either by using the U-shaped route on the Ground Floor, circling the entire house, or taking Fall Damage by falling under the railings on the Upper Floor. It can also be avoided by dropping down the railings on the staircase and can be done without Fall Damage too. (NOTE: Doing the U-shaped route will not only be time-consuming, but there are quite some hazards on the Ground Floor. Ever since Fall Damage was introduced in V1.7.9.3, it will save you a lot of time instead of running through many hazards.
To avoid the other one in the Backyard, you simply need to go around the side of the Guillotine.
Trivia
- The sound is more enhanced in the PC version.
- Standing on the Bell Alarm and spamming the crouch/stand up button very quickly multiple times will make it ring in various tones.
- The actual bell is not possible to land on, when crouching under the railings, because you'll just phase right through it.
- The Bell Alarm is also used in Granny: Chapter Two and Granny 3.
