Entering the Bell Tower
The Bell Tower and Ho-Oh sidequest becomes available in "Pokemon HeartGold" only after you defeat the Kimono Sisters during the normal storyline. This victory grants you the clear bell, one of the two items necessary to summon Ho-Oh. You will already have the other item, the rainbow wing, from previous events in the game. After this point, travel to Ecruteak City and enter the building with an exit guarded by a monk. Speak to him and he will move out of your way. Follow the path into the Bell Tower.
Floors 1-4
Climb the ladder to the second floor. The ladder to the third floor will be just below the entrance. Take the path to the right from the third floor entrance to reach the ladder to the fourth floor. Go down from the entrance until you reach a platform in the southeast corner. Though there is a ladder here, this is not the ladder to the next floor. Instead, head left to reach the next platform in the southwest platform. Again, skip this ladder and continue north. Finally, ascend the ladder in the northwest corner.
Floors 5-6
Head east and take the first hop down. From there, take one hop to the left and three hops down. Take the right fork until you reach the ladder to the sixth floor. Walk up and to the right until you see two paths to the left. Take the first path until you see a ladder on the west side of the room. Hop down to this ladder and climb to the seventh floor.
Teleporters
From this point on, you will see teleporters represented by glowing tiles in the floor. Skip the first teleporter and hop to the right and down. Step on the teleporter on the south side of the room. Next, step on the teleporter immediately below your position. Walk left and step on the teleporter on the west side of the room. Head over to the teleporter immediately above and to the left. Climb the ladder and walk across the bridge to the final ladder.
Capture Ho-Oh
You will battle the level 45 Ho-Oh at the top of the tower. Make sure you have spare Ultra Balls to try to capture this difficult opponent. Alternatively, if you are not planning on catching one of the roaming legendaries, you could use the Master Ball. After you weaken Ho-Oh with your attacks, disable him with a paralyze or sleep spell and try to capture him.
