When damage is taken the ring retaliates and inflicts damage upon enemy |
Ring of Thorns is a Ring in Dark Souls 2 (DKS2). Ring of Thorns, empowered by Kremmel, the god of Struggle. Its spikes embed into the wearer's flesh, turning each blow into a source of spite against the assailant. When damage is endured, the ring strikes back, dealing retribution to the foe 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.
Ring granted protection by Kremmel, god of Struggle. The ring's spikes drive into the wearer's skin, so that each blow fuels spite toward the perpetrator. When damage is taken the ring retaliates and inflicts damage upon enemy.

DS2 Ring of Thorns Tips and Notes
- Ring's effect is proc based, meaning that the effect will not trigger every time the player is hit. It deals physical damage in a 180 degree cone the direction the wearer is facing using bolts/projectiles, the same way a crossbow trap in a chest works. This means if you're too close when it procs you can be hit by multiple bolts, each one dealing roughly 200 damage (that's about how much I was hit, not sure if this was scaling off of stats). Does not appear to trigger when taking damage while blocking with a non-100% shield.

No half decent human being on this planet has the +2. Anyone that does, is precisely the kind of person that nobody wants to game with. I love me some pvp, but have some respect for real. Lol

invading and winning 1k times sounds tedious but doable with time, how do they expect you find enough people to invade when soul memory ruins invading since you either need to win them in tryhard arenas or spend 10k souls for one orb though (i am asking for a dupe guide)

So there's just no way for Offline players to get the +2 Ring of Thorns? Great.

I wonder how many people have actually invaded 1000 times on one character, let alone invaded and won 1000 times.

Does Ring of Blades or Flynn’s ring boost the damage of this ring?

these rings are trash dookie, +1 does 33 and 66 dmg. Unless these do way more damage in PVP or the plus 2 does 200% more dmg these are worthless.
7 Gower's ring to go please

1000 successful invasions with the broken pvp in 2? No thanks

There should be a note specifying that for the +2, "random world" means different hosts. If you invade the same host 800 times and then 200 randoms, it won´t work.
Tested it with both 1000 saponite invasions, 1000 creo invasions, and two pc´s with different steam accounts.

And that +2, among other things like the Blue Sentinels' requirements, is why I'm glad Cheat Engine / item swapping exists. :^)

The +2 version is why I'm glad there's no ring master achievement
I'm sorry, you have to do 1,000 successful invasions to get the max version of this thing? Well then...

70% chance to counter attack PASSIVELY? Jesus CHRIST. Stack this with, say the Old Leo ring and you've got a helluva thang.

I other words, this is useful but it only works about every 3rd hit you receive. Works best with old sun ring for maximum damage.
