Horsehoof Ring | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

This ring needed to send enemies flying if kicked in the back (I kinda think kick should just do that by default, though…). Riposte and backstab should also launch the enemy away when using this, the way the hornet ring does against players when backstabbing. Higher item discovery woulda been nice, too…

Oh well!

This could be cool if kicking was reliable in this game at all. It never works.

Submit

The worst part about kicking is that even if you manage to land a kick, it's super bad at interrupting attacks. DaS3 is a game where a R1 spamming Estoc can stunlock someone with full Smough armor+hammer, but it's a gamble whether your kick will stagger a broken straightsword hollow.

Submit

killed him near the end of the game when i was trying to get all the rings and he dropped it even though Greirat is dead already

Submit

Below gundyr's kick = utter garbage.

Submit

idk why people say its useless, maybe in pvp it is but against any strong enemy with a shield its great (Lothric Knights, Silver Knights, Havel etc)

Submit

I'm doing a Patches cosplay and this thing is so much better than some of these nerds seem to think.

Submit

God, I just found out this existed after many playthroughs and nothing can describe my disappointment after looking it up and finding out it doesn't do some mega boof kick that sends enemies back in time

Submit

They could have atleast made the kicks faster with this.

Submit

Is Garrett leaves on his third outing and dies, patches no longer sells this ring.

Submit

This ring is completely useless. The problem here is getting a kick to hit someone. That kick takes 3/4 of a second and a normal player's reaction roll in 1/6 of a second. The only way you re getting a kick is in a player right next to your chameleon spell, and that is the last kick you will EVER connect.

Submit

a parry spammer's worst nightmare

Submit

To everyone saying this is useless, the Wiki fails to mention how this ring also adds extra hitstun time to your kicks, and allows you to combo kicks into a much wider range of attacks. Try it with ultras, for example.

Submit

Wow

This is useless.

But seriously, i was kinda hoping to do a gundyr thing....

Submit

Does this ring affect the tackle WA of crossbows? How about Tsorig’s ring?

Submit

Does anyone ever think about how Dark Souls 2 had the best guardbreak and for some reason we just returned back to the ds1 guardbreak? I think about that a lot.

Submit

This ring in my slot is just as useless as it's owner in a church.

Submit

One of the most useless rings in the game because of how SLOW the kicks are in this game. About as slow as the guard-breaks were in ds2.

And no, it doesn't make any fking sense. While you wind up for a damn kick, the other already swung ledo's greathammer twice

Submit

Thx

Submit

this ring would be much, much better IF KICKING WASN'T SUCH CANCEROUS IN THIS GAME

Submit

One of the best item descriptions in the series. Top tier.

Submit

be wary of pointless therefor try I can't take this...

Submit

You forgot the hidden stat: Deletes Cathedral Knights from the game.

Submit

Gundyr must be wearing the +3 version

Submit

Such a waste this doesnt let you knock people on their butts like the cathedral knight kick

Submit

ludwig's ring

It's 40%

Submit

This is the fifth signet ring for the Knights of Gwyn.

Submit

hehe, the little firebreathing stone lizards in archdragon peak will roll over twice instead of only once when you kick them with this ring equipped

Submit

Spartan Ring

Submit

Change the animation to a drop kick and we’re good.

Submit

Maybe, just a makeshift theory, based on the design, maybe this was an early/homemade design for Smough’s ring if he became the fifth knight of Gwyn? But after the bone incident and whatever happened to Smough, Patches came along and was, well he did what Patches does.

Submit

Associates?

Submit

i just killed him and he didnt drop the ring...

Submit

THIS IS SPARTA!

Submit

this ring drops even of you bought it, resulting in 2 rings obtained during single ng

Submit

Does this work with Knight Slayer's Ring?

Submit

To be honest, it would’ve been cool if the animation changed for the kick. Like your kick has a much stronger push-off, or you just *****ing spin kick shields away.

Submit

So this is how he kicked us down holes so easily

Submit

ring will drop if you kill patches regardless of greirat's state

Submit

Should be noted that this ring increases the stagger duration (on players at least). After landing a kick, I was able to hit my friend with an UGS with him spamming the roll key. It's a very noticeable difference.

Submit

So this dosnt help ladder battles

Submit

Best ring in the game, personally. I've found it gives you so much hyper Armour I was able to kick three fume ultra Wielders off a cliff while being struck by them six times. Didn't get staggered whatsoever and actually I found out this ring has a sun princess effect and regent 15 health per tick. The thing is, only the one dropped by patches does this, so go out and kill him it's worth it.

Submit

Did this at least 30 times but for some reasons he does not sell the ring to one of my characters... yes I forgave him and yes cathedral gates are all open. Nothing critical, I don't plan to use it but it's weird how a result is different in DS3 when it shouldn't be.

Submit

If it's not sold by him and then you kill him to try and get it to drop it won't drop

Submit

It is possible to get 2 of these. First purchase the one in Pat's inventory. Then kill him, he'll drop another ring, his spear and ashes.

Submit

It was not added to my inventory by talking. I had to buy it from him for 500 souls. (Version 1.10)

Submit

I followed the questline, and when I told him greirat, was in irithyll, he wouldn't sell me anything, only talking about greirat. When I came back later, patches was gone and I didn't get the chance to buy the Catarina armor. Patches has not returned for a long time.

Submit

Goes without saying, but, great for guardbreaking those pesky greatsheild users both NpC and PvP.

Submit

I killed Patches for his ring, but he fell of the side up top, his item is floating in mid air... Does leaving the area reset the item drop location?

Submit

If you kick a skeleton with the Horsehoof ring, it'll fall apart for a bit and then re-assemble. Much like hitting it with a blunt weapon.

Submit

Enemies lose 10% more Stamina when guarding against your attacks as well. (etc Knight-Slayer Ring) Confirmed Testing 4/26/2016

Submit

If someone can explain please do.

Submit

"Enemies lose 10% more Stamina when guarding against your attacks as well. (etc Knight-Slayer Ring) Confirmed "So if the above is confirmed, does the Horsehoof ring increase stamina consumption upon blocking an attack in addition to the Knight-Slayer Ring?Furthermore, does the Knight-Slayer Ring increase the stamina consumption of a blocked kick?They really should have just made the kick a clean guard break to stop people from turtle-ing so ***** much. They aren't even hard to kill most of the time, just really annoying. I've double kicked some people with their greatshields with the hoof ring and they soaked both kicks. That is ridiculous.

Submit

Even though I have opened the front door of the Cathedral Patches does not have the ring for sale in his inventory.I missed him at the cathedral/ & of course killed the giants and only met Patches back at firelink. I have spoken to Ziegward in the well but not rescued him or bought his armour from Patches nor have I sent Greirat on his second "shopping" trip (yet).So simply opening the door of the cathedral (as stated above) is not enough for the ring to be available. I assume you have to open the door and speak to him at the cathedral (unsure about killing the giants first or after...).

Submit

The trigger for the horsehoof ring to appear in his inventory is choosing to forgive him after the event in firelink, once you return and he is now squatting, it will be in his inventory.

Submit

You have not let Greirat out of the cell in high wall of lothric.

Submit

I couldn't find the ring until I found Greirat. Once I did, I talked to Patches and he noticed I had met him. I was then able to buy the ring, whereas I was unable to prior to talking to him.

Submit

It appears that if you open the Green Door (graveyard) shortcut in Cathedral having come up the elevator, talk to Siegward, and return to the elevator by a method other than the Green Door shortcut, Patches will not activate. This forces you to follow up with the Tower scene to unlock him as a salesman. In this event, I do not have the ability to buy this ring! I have yet to clear Smouldering Lake, and have not taken the bridge to Irithyll. Everything else has been completed.

Submit

Greirat does not have to die for this ring to be sold. In my current gamestat greirat has returned from Irithyll, saved by Siegward. Patches has the ring for sale regardless of this outcome.

Submit

To make him sell the ring you need to have patches squatting down in firelink shrine. for me this was after he locked me in the tower, then went back to him and exhausted all dialog, then i sat at the bonfire and warped to firelink again to reload the area. this made him squat down and sell that ring to me.

Submit

Watched a video where patches wasn't selling the ring, however if still dropped from him. But only after they went to the tower retrieved the fire keeper soul and extinguished his dialog at the door. Not sure if prevalent information, but maybe its something.

Submit

The ring will not drop if he is not selling it, keep this noted. I killed him because he wasn't selling it and got nothing but ashes in return.Ashes didn't grant the items availability to sell either

Submit

After recruiting him, the ring did not appear in the shop until I had talked to him and exhausted all dialogue. So try that if it's not there.

Submit

He's not selling it for me. Can anyone confirm he sells it?

Submit

good lord this thing is amazing, with this you can kick great shields aside. Tested on Black Knights, Lothric Knights and that Mace Great Shield. With the kick the shield and riposte mechanic this thing is gonna be lethal in PvP

Submit

Killed Patches, ring didnt drop and his ashes didnt give them ring to the Shrine Handmaiden

Submit

it say she sells the ring, but the ring doesn't appear in his stock for me. there aren't any instructions on what you have to do for him to sell it sooo... does he even sell it`?

Submit

to rule them all

Submit

It allows you to guard break some large shielded enemies and critical them. Tested on some knights in Lorthric castle. Worked on the miracle mace knight and red eyed knight, didn't work without the ring.

Submit

Why must I love you, no matter how many cliffs you kick me off...

Submit

Is this boost going to be noticeable?

Submit

Drop from NPC Unbreakable Patches.
