In this spoiler-free guide, we have a rundown of where to find every ring in Demon's Souls. In addition to selecting a few standouts that you should find at your earliest convenience, we also have some breakdowns of every other ring in the game--including the new ones added to the remake. In addition to this ring explainer, we also have a selection of tips for newcomers diving into Demon's Souls for the first time.

High Priority Rings

Below are the rings you should make it a point to find. Each of these has incredibly useful effects that should help ease the difficulties of your journey. We also highlight the rings that are exclusive to the remake.

Cat's Ring

This ring nullifies all fall damage, which can be advantageous when trying to speed through levels. The Cat's Ring is located in the Valley of Defilement near the Leechmonger Archestone after defeating a nearby Black Phantom. Alternatively, you can also buy it from Patches after inviting him back to the Nexus following your confrontation with him in the Shrine of Storms.

Cling Ring

Allowing you to retain 40% more health while in Soul form, this ring is one of the most useful items in the game. The Cling Ring is in the first stage of the Boletarian Palace. Shortly after reaching the upper levels, you'll encounter a Blue Eye Knight. Directly past it is a pathway that leads downwards. Once you reach the bottom, activate the switch to open the shortcut and access to the body that has the Cling Ring.

Providential Ring (Remake-Exclusive)

As one of the newer items in the remake, this accessory grants increased drop rates from enemies, including healing grass and crafting materials. You can acquire the ring by choosing it as your starting gift. Or if you have the deluxe edition of the game, you'll find it waiting for you in Stockpile Thomas' storage.

Ring of Great Strength

If you like carrying lots of stuff, this ring will give you a 50% boost to your equipment weight limit (allowing you to have more items equipped on your character). You can pick this up from the Dragon rest area in the first zone of the Boletarian Palace or by defeating Biorr the Twin Fangs in the Valley of Defilement.

Ring of Uneven Scales (Remake-Exclusive)

This ring is also a new one exclusive to the remake, raising your max item carry limit and equipment load. You can get it by trading a Gold Coin with Shirly the Crow in the first zone of the Shrine of Storms. Her hideout is located on the uppermost cliff of the area, which you reach by taking the secret passage and tunnels behind the Vanguard Demon.

Thief Ring

This ring will make it harder for enemies to detect you, and it's located in a chest in the first zone of the Boletarian Palace. This chest is in the area where you first encounter the friendly knight Ostrava.

Sodden Ring (Remake-Exclusive)

Another new ring added to the remake is a unique item that can make your journey through the Valley of Defilement a bit more manageable. Located in the second zone of the Tower of Latria, you can find it on a body in the lower levels of the swamp, just after taking the makeshift elevator. This ring will grant you higher mobility when it swamps or murky terrain.

Every Other Ring

While the rings we've mentioned above are high-functional, the others are also handy in their own ways. Below you can find the locations of the other rings you can find throughout your trek across the kingdom of Boletaria.

Clever Rat's Ring

This item increases your attack power by 50% once your health drops below 30%. You can find it in the first zone of the Tower of Latria on the walkway with the giant automated ballista. You'll need to disable the ballista to safely pick up the item, but if you're feeling daring enough to risk going for it when it's active, you just need to roll in time with the arrows in order to avoid getting hit.

Dull Rat's Ring

Like the previous ring, this item will instead boost your defense by 50% once you fall below 30%. It can also be found in the first zone of the Tower of Latria by freeing Lord Rydell from his prison cell. To do that, you'll first need to reach the next zone after defeating the Fool's Idol. You can pick up the key by finding it on a wall by the Fool's Idol Archstone. Head back to the first zone and make your way to Lord Rydell to free him and get the ring.

Eternal Warrior's Ring

This ring increases stamina regen rates. You can get it by defeating Old King Doran in the Mausoleum area of the Boletarian Palace. Though he is not hostile, you can fight him in a friendly duel to gain a special sword. If you continue attacking him after gaining the sword, he will then go all out. If you manage to beat him, you can gain his armor set along with the ring.

Foe's Ring

If you're looking to follow the ways of a Black Phantom, then this ring will boost your attack power by 20% while invading other worlds. To find it, you can get it as a reward from Mephistopheles after slaying Yuria the Witch. Mephistopheles will arrive in the Nexus after you kill Yurt, the Silent Chief in the Tower of Latria.

Fragrant Ring

This item will slowly recover MP when you have it equipped. You can find it in four locations. First, you can easily get the item by choosing the Royalty class at the game's introduction.

Alternatively, you can also get it fordefeating Graverobber Blige from a jail cell in the Shrine of Storms.

Master's Ring

We would recommend that only those who have a firm grasp of combat wield it. You can get this ring by defeating Executioner Miralda in the first zone of the Boletarian Palace with Pure White world tendency or finding it in the Dragon God's room in Stonefang Tunnel. For the latter, you can find it tucked away behind the second ballista.
