This guide will show you the locations of all the Rings in Dark Souls 3, as well as the Effect that they provide your character.
In Dark Souls 3, Rings provide powerful effects and unique abilities that help to compliment the character build that you decide to go with. For example, you would equip Rings that focus on Sorcery if that was the kind of build you were going for. The problem that players will run into, however, is that only four Rings can be equipped at a time. This makes it imperative that you are choosing the right Rings for the play style that you are going to employ throughout Dark Souls 3.
Most Rings can be pillaged from corpses, discovered in chests, or dropped from fallen enemies. However, some Rings are also sold by NPC merchants. Be sure to carefully browse each merchant's inventory when shopping for items, in case they carry a Ring you desire.
Dark Souls 3 Ring Tips
- Since our descriptions are vague, you can find the images for each Ring above the table that lists its Location and Effect. More images will be added as we find each ring.
- +1 and +2 indicate that the Ring is found in New Game +1 or New Game +2, and not on your first play through
- New Game +1 and New Game +2 will be written as NG+1 and NG+2 in the column that lists the Ring Location.
- You cannot find a Ring with a +1 or +2 on your first play through. You must be in a New Game +1 or New Game +2.
