Masochist ring

Submit

If this ring enabled bloodborne's rally mechanic, the double damage would npt even matter.

And don't start with "but it would be broken in pvp", like pvp was ever balanced.

Submit

Basically its only use is to reduce the amount of hits you need to receive to activate RTSR by...a single hit.

Submit

Harder daddy!

Submit

champion covenant ring

Submit

This with Tears of Denial, every single hypermode buff you can think about and Ultra Greatsword using stomp can do instakill in the first trade.

Submit

I imagine using this after my 5th playthrough. What's insane is that even though there are items in the game that provide benefits for a clear disadvantage like the crown of dusk, clutch rings this one just straight challenges you. It gives you ideas, it doesn't just make you put a straight sword and a straight sword on a scale- It asks you the question: Do you want to feel like you've done something?

Submit

"Similar to the ring of the same name in the original Dark Souls, dropped by the black dragon Kalameet" Similar? it's literally the same ring

Submit

this ring actually looks really cool

Submit

this + skull ring = good luck because you are going to need it

Submit

Darkness' Ring

Excellent for a GigaChad cosplay

WAKE ME UP

Submit

I remember thinking this was a joke item at first, but then I ended up getting so good at the game that I would wear it just to have any semblance of challenge. I think this ring is homage to Miyazaki's true vision for the Souls games before corporate higher ups and SJW casuals forced him to visualize and bastardize these games

Submit

put calamity ring plus the fire,magic,lightning clutch ring on and you can die from the simplest hits hell even bornfires in the swamp can one hit you i love it

Submit

Does this stack with Carthus Bloodring and Prisoner's Chain?

Submit

Occupies a ring slot, weighs 0.8, makes the user take double damage. Yeah, this is THE god tier ring we didn't deserve.

Submit

It wouldn't make much sense, but imagine if equipping this made your eyes glow white like those ninja skeletons. Would be like saying to other players "i'm your god, scrub".

Now, if skull ring gave you red glowing eyes, it would stack with this to become the ultimate memebringer.

Submit

One of the best rings by a long shot if your not using this in your build then your not doing it right. the ring makes you take twice as much damage but put out twice as much damage glass cannon style.
don't believe me test it out in pvp total life changer!

Submit

If anyone can edit, it also does not affect Bloodlust (nikana) weapon art 's self-damage, not sure of chaos blade and mimic helmet

Submit

This is like the demons bell in sekiro, except with zero f***ing benefit.

Submit

Get the +3 version it gives you -500 damage absorption. Iudex Gundyr 1 shots you at full health

Submit

By far the best ring in the game, only people mad at it are casuls who are jealous they can't get this bit of pure magic finger fuel

Submit

Dragon Torso Stone+ This Ring + Ultra Greatsword = Impossible Mode

Submit

"Can be used to troll new players" it literally states how you'll take double damage in the description. New players are really fun to mess with via cat ring, but this would only work on straight up illiterates

Submit

No +3 version? :^(

Submit

Challenge Accepted. TriHard 7

Submit

This is probably used to engage hyper mode faster.

Submit

Well, the ring could at least give you a unique visual effect to let people know either you are gud or you are wetarded.

Submit

Honestly so much of this game I wish I could rebalance. Like this ring. Rather than make it a single edged sword aim squarely for your jugular, I’d make this a double edged sword. Sort of like (((current stats + gear) x rings) x doubler as unique final calculation) Probably call the mod the baby mod or something demanding sing since there’d be quite a few buffs. Maybe even add a new mechanic like overhead or something.

Submit

could someone add the hidden use in in Pvp? this ring gives you 20% MORE absorption if you're invading so its quite viable.

Submit

Tryhards should be required by law to wear this ring.

Submit

The Phil Swift ring

Submit

Woah double damage.. *gets hit* ***** my HP and ember. Opens description back up, oh it did mean me..

Submit

If they reduced the damage amplifier, would that be a nerf or a buff? *hits blunt*

Submit

Wow this ring looks super cool and I can't read better try it on as quick as possible

Submit

Playing normally is easy mode. Playing with this ring is hard mode.

Submit

there should be a ring that makes you deal double-damage, but take 4x the damage

Submit

makes you take double damage in pve but in pvp it gives you a super secret 15% boost in all defense/resistance stats try it out no joke

Submit

Does this version not give you the Eye of Sauron like it did in the first game?

Submit

Truly the definitive prepare to die edition

Submit

This ring should give you max 1 hp

Submit

If you are farming your friends for vertebra shackles, this makes it faster. Ha ha, a use!

Submit

Well, game magazines got what they wanted, an easy mode.
Funny thing is, it was enabled from the beginng of the game.

Submit

Dark Souls 3 will treat us like The Last Of Us Grounded mode!

Submit

No THAT's what I call masochism :V

Submit

Calamity Ring+Clutch Rings = guaranteed death

Submit

Hey masochists!

Submit

It has a purpose if you wish to go into hyper mode as soon as possible. In invasions, where you enter with full health, time is of the essence.

Submit

This ring looks like it needs healing

Submit

best ring

Submit

when you think dark souls can't get any more nuts...

Submit

"Yay! A ring! :D"
*sees description*
"Well, ***** you too then"

Submit

Here's a possible use for the ring, quite funny.

Hero mode initiated...

Submit

Try wearing this with no am or on and weilding a broken straight sword+0 with no SL level ups then see if it's still useless... Best ring in the game.. I think it will literally teach you the game. For example you will memorize every enimy move set atttempting to pass the game and eventually you will become a better player with better reaction time and better strategy..

Submit

POS ring! 凸ಠ益ಠ)凸 I tried this ring on ng+9 naked and noooope never again.. Was pretty fun tho.

Submit

+3 version? take 8X the damage

Submit

I will drop the ring four someone if they want it, I'm not gonna sit on here and lie like most ppl on this thread and even say I'd wear this ring, the game is plenty hard enough for me. I do believe some are good and would wear four a challenge but not as many as I see here talking smack, I'll run into you guys eventually and you'll probably run off and heal , but just my thought lol, easier said then done , the ring is useless to me, but ds3 they did great job on love the game, still think there should be a practice dummy or something in the fire link shrine, majula, etc, to see exactly what damage were doing because so many enemies have different strengths and weaknesses I'd like to know exactly how much output I'm doing, and wow there are a lot of weapons on this game and cool spells four a mage like myself,

Submit

I find it incredibly dumb how you only obtain the ring near the end of the game. I think you should be able to get it at the very start so you can play through the entire game with much more difficulty in case you want a fun little challenge.

Submit

I would like if it gave at least a visual change to the player when being equipped. Kind of like "look i wear the hardmodering im so kewl". Dont know what. Maybe a glow, or something unique when using a weapon, maybe make the player character bigger or get flames around the playermodel (similar to the endscene of the game where the character basically burns).
Would be cool.

Submit

To the people asking why : It's for people who wanted a hard mode.

Submit

I disagree that this ring should give you some hidden or small bonus (besides something purely cosmetic maybe). i disagree with the notion that 'EVERY item in the game needs a purpose, even if it's just a small one! There's no point to an item with NO reason to use it!' there IS a point to this item, it's purely to challenge yourself. Just like the plank shield, and just like the broken straight sword, both items that are just plain awful in every respect, with no redeeming qualities at all. Do these items need some random bonus properties that would actually make them really good? Of course not. There are plenty of useful items in the game. I believe that these games should have a little something for EVERYBODY - that includes people who deliberately want to use the worst items, items that are the worst they could possibly be.

Submit

Tried a damage amplification build wearing this, two of the clutch rings, and Prisoner's Chain in the arena. Dat damage!

Submit

For everyone wondering what the purpose is: it is to troll you. Yes like the amulet, but also for the ringmaster achievement this is the ONLY ring that is not just there for the taking (covenant rewards not counting since you will get them eventually if you just keep feeding items to the covenant).

Submit

Best ring in the game. Tenoutaten.

Submit

if you kill the crystal lizard in the cemetery of ash while wearing this he will drop ashes of a father. when you give them to the ash lady in firelink she sells infinite embers. so awesome!!!

Submit

by far

Submit

Still more useful than the the wolf ring HEYOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Submit

Obviously from the description, this is a troll item. People put it on for some "special effect" buts just FromSoft trolling you. The description: "a thing quietly passed down amongst its most fervent adherents, some of whom become convinced the task has been bestowed upon them as a sacred duty." references loosely to players, who desperately seek answers when there are none, just like the pendant.

Submit

Where do I find Calamity Ring +2? ;-)

Submit

Do we need to add the flavour text of Hidden Weapon, to every item in the game?

Submit

Why not have the player earn more souls or somthing at least? Not everyone would go for a double damage no benefit ring in the name of challenge. Couldnt it be like fire clutch ring, maybe like 25% more physical damage? I know take double damage, but deal double damage is OP as hell, all them spellers and heavy hitters would lose their bananas over it. I wish it would at least give us cool glowing red eyes or an epic aura.

Submit

Biggest troll in Dark Souls history. Gave us an extremely challenging boss fight and of all the things he dropped... was this ring... Why do i feel like Gough is laughing up in his tower after we get this ring?

Submit

CMON DARN DRAGON GIVE US A GOOD RING

Submit

So this was around the end April, I had actually been summoned as a Blade of Darkmoon to a players aid, it was in the Archdrake Peak, I ran towards the bonfire and saw the invader attacking the host, who was rolling, and died moments after, but during the tiny little end of the fight I saw, I swear I saw the 'kalameet eye' effect hovering over the world masters head, but it was a bit larger. I seriously don't know if this was caused by lag in a rare occurrence where the world master had used the dragon head stone and the animation from that lingered and I mistook it for something else, I'm actually doing a calamity ring playthrough to see if there is anything it may do, but just thought I'd share that, idk if anyone else has had anything similar or at least knows what would be a common thing I could of mistaken it for if there is some, because this had me really wondering about it.

Submit

Maybe its for a tearstone ring build or something? Maybe counter damage is affected by the amount of damage that you had taken? Maybe wearing it through NG plus, gives you some super special item? Maybe it is there just to give the whiners that say this game is too easy, something else to whine about?

Submit

why.

Submit

Seriously? Is this supposed to be used for something secret, because other than that, it seems extremely useless.

Submit

Seriously. In DS1 at least there was a cool eye hovering over you that let other players know how badass you are. It really made pvp all the more sweet when you win while taking double damage. Now there is literally no point in wearing it. 1/10, only got it for the achievement.

Submit

I was only 15I hated Shrek so muchI gave all his movies and mech 1/10 on metacriticI bought him this ring and mail it to him as a surprise giftThe idiot wore itHe died hitting an old woman while driving his Onion mobileApparently a simple knock to his head got amplified by the ringPeople thought ISIS planted a bomb inside his onion CarriageLittle did they know the explosion was caused by this marvelous ring.

Submit

best item in the game!

Submit

bithc

Submit

If I wear 4 of these will I take 16x damage?

Submit

How do I disable it? It's permanently on even if discarded.

Submit

I retract that, sorry you do carry the ring with you over to NG+ I was wrong

Submit

If you go into a new game, you lose your calamity ring and have to get it at dragonpeak again. (this is what happened to me)

Submit

I just realized, I have a symbol that looks exactly like the ring under my health bar.Anyone knows if it comes from that ring only and I got hacked or do other items trigger it, too and what exactly does it mean?

Submit

It would be fun to see someone do a ng/ng+ playthrough with this, a skull ring, and any two clutch rings with the lowest possible vigor and minimal armor. Too lazy to head back to archdragon peak in any of my playthroughs for it though.

Submit

Use to get to 20% HP or lower more quickly for the effects of Red Tearstone Ring and an offhand Morian's Blade. Combine with Tears of Denial to keep HP low and retain that 40% damage increase.

Submit

Using this ring is really just for all them masochists out there who love nothing more then make it that bit more unbearable to play dark souls 3 xD

Submit

Not very good.

Submit

this ring seems pointless lol

Submit

but why

Submit

I assume those of you saying the ring has no purpose are new to the souls games. One of the big things in the souls games is that the game is as hard as you want it to be (which is why diehard fans hate the drake sword in the first game). It's why people do challenge runs of sorts, and this ring is just another thing people can use to make the game harder.

Submit

Why would anyone wear this?

Submit

This ring is soooooooooooo OP. From plz nerf.
