Ring of Steel Protection is a Ring in Dark Souls 2. The Ring of Steel Protection bestows upon the wearer the safeguard of steel, enhancing physical defense. Legend holds it as the ring of the long-forgotten Knight King, whose heroic exploits have faded from memory, even among the most venerable scholars. Players can equip up to 4 Rings, but equipping two of the same item is not possible. Some rings have upgraded versions, having a maximum of +3. Some can only be found in NG+. Rings can be repaired at a blacksmith, but not upgraded. Upgraded versions must be acquired throughout the game from corpses, chests, bosses, etc.
Wearer gains the protection of steel. Increases physical defense. Said to be the ring of the once legendary Knight King, though his tales are long forgotten, and even the greatly wizened have no recollection of his exploits

I like pairing this with ring of resistances, iron flesh and heavy armor. Tank the world(except lightning, all my homies hate lightning)

As someone that prefers light/medium armor, this ring has saved me so many times. It can allow you to get away with a sliver of health in situations where you would otherwise die.

For those who want the +0 ring early, talk to Saulden first. If you die 100 times prior to meeting him, he doesn’t give you the ring until you die 100 more times.
Step 1: die 100 times
Step 2:get the ring
Step 3:early profit

I for some reason read "looking glass knight" as "looking glass giant". That would be terrifying

Essential if you still want to have a bit of protection with some fashion souls builds.

don't be fooled by the "low" numbers this ring boosts your physical defense the stat that scales with the armor you wear. wearing this you will notice a significant decrease in damage taken great for builds that have medium armor (heide, elite, faraam, ) and ofc heavy (havel, steel, Gyrm etc) so the more defenses you get from armor the more this ring will give you. im surprised the wiki doesn't make a point of mentioning this.

I mean you could use it in conjunction with one of the clutch rings to mitigate the decreased protections.

Sobif the difference from Havel's gear to mastadon (roughly double its defense) equates to a 10 or 11 damage difference, does this ring mean jack sh*t?
Talk to Saulden for the Blue Seal ring and then kill him for this ring. Extra HP and Defense until you get actually good rings
