DARK SOULS III
MASTER OF RINGS
Trophy Guide
In order to collect every ring you will need to go through the game nearly 3 times on the same save
70 rings are obtainable on your first playthrough (ng), 20 rings are obtainable in ng+ and 17 are obtainable on ng++
If you happen to miss any rings from a previous playthrough, you can get them in your next playthrough which is handy for rings such as the Obscuring Ring which acquiring that early will stop you from being able to get the Silver Cat Ring until your next playthrough
Some rings can only be acquired through trading boss souls to do so you will need to have defeated the Curse-Rotted Greatwood and have received the Transposing Kiln, give this to Ludleth in Firelink Shrine, this will allow you to trade certain boss souls for rings
Ring of the Evil Eye, ensure you speak with Anri of Astora at the Road of Sacrifices, Halfway Fortress bonfire then again at Firelink Shrine after defeating the Deacons of the Deep and finally do not tell her where Horace is in the Catacombs of Carthus
Silvercat Ring ~ Sirris will become hostile and will refuse to give you the Silvercat Ring if you offer Rosaria a Pale Tongue to deepen your allegiance to the Rosaria’s Fingers covenant
