King's Ring is a Ring in Dark Souls 2 (DKS2). King's Ring, a soul, is much like a curse. And those with strong souls must bear within themselves an even stronger curse.
Dark Souls 2 King's Ring Effects
Durability: 110
Weight: 0.2
- Opens the King's Gate doors located in Drangleic Castle (near first bonfire), Forest of Fallen Giants (at the bottom of the ladder near the second bonfire), and Shaded Woods (Up the middle path near the Ruined Forked Road bonfire)
- The ring only needs to be equipped the first time a player opens a door. Afterward, the player may reopen King's Gate doors by standing near them.
- Increases Fire AR by 6 before infusion modification
- Best to be paired with +5 Penal Handcuffs.
- In SOTFS HD when you equip the ring, the statues in drangleic castle aren't hostile when passed by (unless attacked), thus can equip the ring and explore the castle in ease (But some statues may block necessary doors, can attack and defeat them).
King's Ring Locations in Dark Souls 2
- Undead Crypt, in the same room as Vendrick.
DS2 King's Ring Tips and Notes
- King Vendrick will be walking around near the ring. Initially he will not be hostile towards the player. Attacking with massive amounts of damage will cause him to turn hostile and engage a boss fight which will put up a fog wall at the entrance. If the player dies a new fog wall will be infront of the room which houses King Vendrick. It is highly recommended to collect the ring first before aggravating Vendrick.
- Talking to the old firekeeper in Things Betwixt after obtaining the ring will net 6 Human Effigies. If soul level 1 then she will not give the effigies and will only say to "go along now."
- Talking to Grave Warden Agdayne after getting the ring will net Agdayne's armor and the Darkdrift katana.
- Upon obtaining the ring, Stone Trader Chloanne will sell various infusion stones, 1 Titanite slab, 3 Twinkling Titanite & 3 Petrified Dragon bone.
- Ring is removed from player's inventory upon entering a new game cycle.
- After obtaining the ring, it is possible to get to the throne of Want (ending area) & defeat Throne watcher & Defender, however Nashandra won't spawn until Giant's Kinship is obtained. Thus all 3 King's doors have to be opened to finish the game.

Seems like it functions as a stronger version of the red eye ring for giants. I was going through the giant memories and popped this on to see if the soldiers would stop attacking me. What ended up happening was the giant dropped what they were doing and headed straight towards me. rn I haven't seen if the soldiers would still attack me yet.

Can confirm that on SOTFS, having the King's Ring equipped will make most of the statues in Drangleic Castle non-hostile. It does not work for the two Primal Knight statues on the staircase leading up to the castle, and it does not work for the Stone Knights along the way to the Looking Glass Knight, but it works for all of the Royal Swordsman, Syan Knight, and Stone Soldier statues. They will not wake up and attack you unless you attack them first, and they will still take damage like normal. I recommend using this if you're farming for drops from those enemies, since it allows you to essentially kill them for free.

fire damage buff does not affect fire whip spell whatsoever. if I had to guess it is because fire whip deals damage in many small increments so adding 5 damage to each would quickly add up to a significant buff.
also some spells seem to get more than 5 points, tested on the stone soliders in drangleic castle basement:
basic fire ball only gets 3 bonus damage per cast
while chaos storm gets as much as 6
it seems to be 1~1.2% buff instead of a flat +5 damage

In SotFS, I just learned that talking to the old firekeeper with 94 or above Human Effigies in inventory causes the box to appear that says she is giving you 6, and your inventory is full. I sat at bonfire and moved 10 HE to storage. Returned to talk to her, and successfully received the 6 effigies. Thankfully the game didn't decide to say "ya missed yer chance, sonny!"

I talked to the ladder guy in majula with the ring on and he gave me his scimitar. Leningrast gave me a hammer also.

In Dragon Shine, the soldiers (except for the giant soldiers) are bowing to you if you're wearing the King's Ring.

In SotFS, the Stone Knights in Drangleic Castle don't come to life with this ring on, but will still activate and attack you if you hit them regardless.

On the original game, the old ladies will not give you the six effigies with ANY base level character. This does not just refer to SL1. Just tried with an SL14 (base level) cleric. No joy.

“If soul level 1 then she will not give the effigies...” You must be a helluva good Souls player to get this ring at SL1
>"Talking to the old firekeeper in Things Betwixt with the ring on will net 6 Human Effigies" >"(The ring is not needed for this)" Well, what is it?

You do not need the kings ring to get the trader to sell infusion stones. The trigger is also possibly related to how much you spend on her.

Killed velstadt and reached in the room with vendrick, ring wasn't there next to clothes like ysyal, I tried resetting the game and everything but nothing is working. Any idea why?

So I've beaten all 4 great souls, and beat the demon of song. But when I go to Vendricks tome, it won't let me get the ring. And idk why, could it be that where I've fought 2 great souls with bonfire ascetics?

Tried to edit this but the button isn't responding for some reason :/ Anyway, wearing the ring near the stone Syan Knight right outside of the door leading to the Throne of Want (King's Gate bonfire) will cause the Syan Knight to remain in stone form, i.e. not attack you. Removing the ring will trigger his de-petrifying visual effect, and he will begin attacking you. Have yet to test on other enemies e.g. Primal Knights outside the castle, though.
can phantoms open king doors if they equip the ring?
