Farron Ring | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

Fyi, you need to exhaust his dialogue to get the ring, you need to talk to him twice in a row.

lmao what a piece of dogshit ring in the game full of dogshit rings, 2-3 fp saved is definitely a life saver guys

Submit

I defeated the abyss watchers AND placed the cinders, and Hawkwood still won't give me the ring!

Submit

He wont give the ring to me.
I just killed AByss watchers and put cinders on throne, and this guy does not give me any ring.
he just has some regular dialogue and thats it

Submit

**** you mean "up to 25%"?? Does it depend on how much attunement i have? Does it depend on the weapon art? Explain.

Submit

"Acquired by talking to Hawkwood after defeating the Abyss Watchers and placing their Cinders on their throne."

That's only partly correct, you only need to talk to him after defeating the Abyss Watchers and he will give you the ring.

You don't need to place their cinders on the throne first.

Submit

Yeah well it lets me use cool weapon arts more, so I like it. I'm going to use the bad ring anyway. So there

Submit

You can use weapon skills with only half of the full FP cost. This ring does in fact lower the minimum required FP, and surprisingly the numbers are rounded in your favor. For example, War Cry on the Large Club costs 20 FP, meaning you only need 10 to use it, and with the -25% cost from the ring it should cost 7.5 FP, but you only need 7 instead of 8. This allows for a pretty nice synergy with simple infusions as you only need to wait a few seconds with an empty FP bar to use a weapon skill again

Submit

Just to let everyone know the reason the Faron ring doesn’t affect the Faron sword is because it states in the description that it is used for there hunting swords not there war swords so probably wolf blood curved sword

Submit

From could have made this ring twice as good, reducing FP by 50% instead of 25% and it STILL wouldn't be used very often by players. Not a terrible ring, but certainly not good. Even on a build where you use weapon arts often you'd probably be better off using a random generic ring like Hornet Ring, Sun Princess Ring, Chloranthy Ring, or Life Ring.

Submit

I think for hawkwood to give/drop this ring, you must exhaust all his previous dialogue, with the last line referring to gaining admission to the undead legion. If you kill the abyss watchers before said dialogues, you screwed up his questline as if he didn't meet you at all.

Submit

Originally, farron gs's weapon art was the only stomp that followed up with a stab, hence the former utility of this ring.

Submit

Farron Ring doesn't give any benefits to Farron Greatsword users

Gives me CONNIPTIONS

Submit

He doesn’t give the ring if you don’t put down the cinders of the Abyss Watchers first.

Submit

It would make more sense for the ring to belong to artorias, he still used wolf's blood, but his sword uses FP.

Submit

the fact that the Farron Greatsword does not require any FP for its entire “moveset (including the swinging L1 and the parrying dagger) makes this ring quite illogical in a gameplay perspective”. big BS

Submit

I still can't obtain it. Hawkwood he stuck on the line where it tells me about farron keep cerimony.

Submit

I think you need to have killed Deacons for this ring, ive killed watchers but he doesnt give me the ring yet and tells me to kill the deacons.

Submit

It really doesn't do much if you have all your estus flask shards. Melee build who needs more weapon arts? Just assign more Fp estus. Sacrificing a heal or two for your Fp is worth it if you know how to not get hit by attacks. On a typical melee only build, I'll go 12-3 or 10-5. Worth a try, but this ring is pretty useless when you can afford Fp regen. My guess is to use it at low-sl, which is why it's an early game reward

Submit

The fp réduction is not useless for the abyss Watchers, remember hawkwood use a bastard sword and stomp use a fu**** amount of fp

Submit

this ring sounds good on paper but it is actually pretty useless. the decrease in fp used is miniscule for most weapons unfortunately

Submit

would this work for catalyst weapon arts? i imagine it would work on the preachers right arm weapon art

Submit

Note that while the ring works as intended and reduces weapon art FP costs by 25%, that change is not reflected in in the item/equipment menu. Meanwhile, the Dusk Crown Ring - which has the same effect for spells, pyromancies and miracles - will display the new FP cost in all menus while equipped.

Submit

It also reduces the stamina consumption of the Wolf Knight Greatsword's weapon arts, might do it to others as well.

Submit

i’m at the final boss, I killed Hawkwood. STILL NO RING

Submit

I killed him, becouse i thought he was an Enemy. My first playtrhough, and now i realised i shouldn't

Submit

Can someone remove the second bullet point under trivia?

Submit

When I started playing this game I was like, this guy needs to die because he's kinda negative and sorta just insulted me.

Submit

Though it says Wepon Skills, I've found that it doesn't affect the Storyteller's Staff any when using it's WA.

Submit

I have screwed up ~_~

Submit

someone needs to add that you have to put the cinders of a lord onto the throne before talking to hawkwood

Submit

This ring works well with Wolf Knight's Greatsword. Its weapon art is one of the best in the game.

Submit

You need to exhaust all the dialogues before you get the ring from Hawkwood. (You need to complete the Abyss Watchers as stated above)

Submit

Regarding Trivia
FP reduction used by people who dont uses fp. That has been bothering me for a while, dose anyone have an explanation why the devs did this?

Submit

i killed him early in the game. does that mean i cant get this ring? and therefore cannot get the all rings trophy? shiiiiit. that sucks. guess i wont get all trophies this play-through

Submit

If your trying to get the ring early in game, You must kill The Curse-Rotted Greatwood aswell as the Abyss Watcher's, Killing Just the Abyss Watcher's will not net you the ring.

Submit

killed him late game and didn't drop anything. all bosses were dead

Submit

I can't find the upgraded version anywhere

Submit

i killed hawkwood in early game, now that i read this. i regret myself from killing him...... :(

Submit

This ring was not given to me until after defeating the lords of cinder and returning them to their thrones.

Submit

He NEVER gave it to me in 2 playthroughs, no matter when and how often I talked to him!Abyss Watchers are NOT the trigger!!!

Twin Princes Greatsword ability goes from 22 to 17: 23% reduction, 5 stamina conservedDragonslayer Greataxe ability goes from 35 to 27: 23% reduction, 8 stamina conservedDark Sword ability goes from 26 to 20: 23% reduction, 6 stamina conservedGundyr's Halberd ability goes from 30 to 24: 20% reduction, 6 stamina conservedLothric Greatsword ability goes from 25 to 20: 20% reduction, 5 stamina conservedExile Greatsword ability goes from 25 to 19: 24% reduction, 6 stamina conservedEstoc ability goes from 14 to 11: 21% reduction, 3 stamina conservedSunlight Straight Sword ability goes from 40 to 30: 25% reduction, 10 stamina conservedFume Ultra Greatsword ability goes from 28 to 22: 21% reduction, 6 stamina conservedSaint Bident ability goes from 22 to 17: 23% reduction, 5 stamina conservedSaint-tree Bellvine ability goes from 13 to 10: 23% reduction, 3 stamina conservedDragonrider Bow ability goes from 9 to 7: 22% reduction, 2 stamina conservedHavel's Greatshield ability goes from 16 to 12: 25% reduction, 4 stamina conservedIn conclusion, the Farron Ring will most likely not do the full 25% reduction. Since the amount reduced is a percentage and not a fixed number, you will not want to equip it unless your abilities are costly (22 or more).

Submit

Can be received from the depressed ashen one (crestfallen warrior?) after offering 'Cinders of a Lord' to the Abyss Watcher's throne.Talk to him to twice progress his dialogue.

Submit

This is useless with anything involving farron, the 2h doesn't use FP, and the darts are spells.

Submit

For most weapon arts this ring will net you ~1 more use per full FP bar, unless you have a massive FP pool for the savings to mount up over multiple uses in which case you might be able to tease out an extra 2 or 3 uses.But if you have a massive FP bar anyway why are you even using the ring, you already have enough FP. Plus, a lot of weapon arts don't really lose effectiveness from being at 0 FP, quickstep still functions, stance-guardbreak still works it just does less damage. What is the point.P O I N T L E S S

Submit

you dont need to place the ashes tho

Submit

you don't have to place the cinder on the throne

Submit

So i killed this guy early to get the farron ring but he doesn't drop it, how can i get it now?

Submit

thats not true. I used the ring with heal, and heal costs 45 points instead of 50. So i guess it gives 30% fp reduction on weapon art, but only 10% fp reduction on spells?

Submit

Is there any other way to get the ring? I didnt talk to him after I beat abyss watchers and he left. Now I don't know how to get the ring

Submit

Defeat Farrons LegionThen talk to The Crestfallen NPC

Submit

-25% is a lot if you spam Quickstep :3 must have ring for a dagger based build i bet

Submit

Does indeed reduce FP costs, doesn't seem like much though. About 5% ish I would say.

Submit

Got this ring from Hawkwood in Firelink Shrine after killing Lord of Cinder in the swamp area. Not sure if any other criteria needed to be met for it.
