Things to do
A Puppet's Wooden Heart
Talk to the Puppet Songstress, who stands by the small shrine close to the bell. Pei is the recipient of a letter she passes to you, the purple-robed man in Survivors' Courtyard. After that, go back to the Engine Giant Remains bell and inspect Pei's body in the field close to the campfire. Last, return to the temple and report to the Songstress. You are rewarded with the A Puppet's Wooden Heart accessory.
Fog barrier and Dusk
Inside the shrine, the way is closed off by a fog barrier. It parts after you gather all six of Firefly's Memory Flowers, a task belonging to the Secrets at the Heart of the Lake quest.
With the fog gone, walk through it and follow the path to the Broken Puppet Pit Entrance bell, next to the angler. Beside him, jump down into the ravine to face Dusk, the Puppeteer. He is a secret boss and the fight is not compulsory. In the arena where he is fought you will find the Broken Puppet Pit Bottom bell, and victory grants the Illusory Pipa Head and the Puppeteer's Bell Phantom Edge.
