First Dragon Ring is a Ring in Dark Souls 2 (DKS2). The First Dragon Ring, a dragon-engraved signet ring, provides the bearer with the protection of dragons, boosting HP, stamina, and maximum load. However, its fragility makes it prone to breakage. Raulmond, a loyal knight of Drangleic, guarded the fort until his demise, holding onto this cherished ring throughout his lifetime of service to the king. 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.
