Ring of the Dead
The wearer of this ring appears human even when Hollow.

Ring of the Dead is a Ring in Dark Souls 2 (DKS2). The Ring of the Dead bestows upon the wearer a human appearance even in the wretched state of Hollowing. Legends tell of the Undead Crypt, a place to commune with the departed. 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.

The wearer of this ring appears human even when Hollow. They say that in the Undead Crypt, we can reacquaint ourselves with the dead. We all suffer loss. And none of us can escape death. Then, what is the fascination with reclaiming that which has already passed into that beyond?"
