The Old Bell is a craftable item from the Reign of Giants DLC. The two ways to gain access to the crafting recipe is to locate and mine a Glommer's Statue - which will drop the Old Bell's Blueprint as loot - or to find the blueprint from a Tumbleweed. The player must then combine Glommer's Wings and Glommer's Flower together. The Old Bell is renewable as the materials to craft it are available during each Full Moon (mining Glommer's Statue does not destroy it).

When used, the Bell summons Biiigfoot to stomp anything in its path.
The creature's enormous foot takes a few seconds to reach the player. The screen will shake and a shadow will appear where the foot is about to touchdown. Biiigfoot destroys anything it steps on, dealing 1000 damage. Keep in mind that the shockwave caused by it does not deal any damage. It will aim for where the player was standing when the bell was rung, and can easily kill an insufficiently-armored player who doesn't move out of the way in time. When Biiigfoot stomps, the impact causes sleeping mobs to awaken.
Biiigfoot doesn't deal damage to Shadow Creatures, the Pig King, Fireflies, and Worm Holes.
Unlike most Reign of Giants items, the Old Bell cannot be crafted in Don't Starve Together as its Blueprint does not drop from Glommer's Statue, despite all of its ingredients being available.
Although the Old Bell has a considerably large delay, with good timing or a fixation of the target(s) the Old Bell can deal a significant amount of damage to high health mobs, making it the perfect item to deal with the likes of the Deerclops, Moose/Goose, Dragonfly, and Bearger, among others.
In addition to being used as a weapon, the Old Bell can be an effective alternate to chopping Trees with an Axe or using allied Pigs as it doesn't require Gold or Flint and takes less time. Planting Pine Cones in an area as close as possible to each other should enable Biiigfoot to chop over 80 trees at once with a single step.
The Old Bell can be used to kill a herd of Beefalo at night. They will wake up as soon as they hear Biiigfoot approaching, but will not have enough time to move away.
Old Bells will cause Earthquakes when used in caves instead of summoning Biiigfoot.
A great combination to kill bosses is to first freeze them with an Ice Staff, then use the Old Bell next to them. This deals 1000 damage while the victim is immobilized.
Note that the shaking ground causes sleeping monsters to wake up and often move out of the way of Biiigfoot, thus avoiding the damage entirely.
