Demon’s Souls PS5 Remake has 30 Ring Locations. Finding all of them unlocks the King of Rings trophy. Compared to the original PS3 version there are now 4 more Rings. This guide shows all of the Ring Locations in the Demon’s Souls PS5 Remake / Remaster.
Do note that many of these are missable in some way but everything carries over into New Game+. You need multiple playthroughs for platinum anyway so you will have plenty of chances to go for your missing ones. It’s recommended to pick the “Providential Ring” as your starting boon (one of the new rings on PS5).
For some of the Rings you will need Pure White of Pure Black Character Tendency or World Tendency. Quick info on that:
- For Pure White World Tendency defeat all Bosses in each area without dying in the world in Human Form, always play in Souls Form
- For Pure Black World Tendency afterward – keep dying in Human Form in each Archstone
- For Pure White Characters Tendency – do it AFTER having done everything needed in Pure White World Tendency: Defeat Black Phantom Executioner Miralda in first area of Boletarian Palace in Pure Black World Tendency, Defeat Black Phantom Scirvir the Wanderer in second area of Stonefang Mines, Defeat Black Phantom Lord Rydyell at the beginning of Shrine of Storms, Defeat Black Phantom Selen Vinland in the second Area of Valley of Defilement. In Online Mode you can kill invader Black Phantom to move towards White Character Tendency
- For Pure Black Character Tendency- kill other players, kill helpless NPCs.

Note: The PS5 Remake introduces 4 new rings that didn’t exist before:
New Rings in PS5 Version:
- Providential Ring – Picked as Character Creation Boon at the start of the game. It can also be obtained by trading a Large Sword of Searching created from a Scimitar to Sparkly the Crow. Large Swords of Searching created from other weapons seem not to work for this trade! A scimitar can be bought from Graverobber Blige in the Shrine of Storms for 1000 Souls if you need one. To create the Large Sword of Searching you will have to upgrade it to +8 and combine it with Hero Demon Soul (from Old Hero) at the Blacksmith in Stonefang Tunnels.
- Ring of Longevity – Obtained by trading a Pure Bladestone. If you buy the Deluxe Edition you get this ring automatically. Standard Edition players get it by trading a Pure Bladestone. Pure Bladestone is dropped by Black Skeletons in the first area of Shrine of Storms and also there you can find the crow who you trade with. In order to trade drop the items in its nest and then leave to the main menu and come back again for the traded item to appear.
- Sodden Ring – Can be found in the swamp in the 2nd area of Tower of Latria when in Pure Black World Tendency.
- Ring of Uneven Scales – First you must find a gold coin, which is dropped by fat officials in the 3rd area of Boletarian Palace and trade it with Sparky the Crow in Shrine of Storms once again, just like the for the Ring of Longevity.
Boletarian Palace Rings:
- Cling Ring – Can be found while unlocking the shortcut in the first area of the Boletarian Palace

- Flame Resistance Ring – Once again in the first area of the Boletarian Palace – in the area where both Dragons are resting – it is safe to get it after defeating both of them in the later stages of the Palace or with Pure White World Tendency
- Ring of Great Strength – Same as above, additionally it can be obtained from Biorr, since he drops one when dying
- Ring of Herculean Strength – During your exploration of the first area you will find a balcony supported by 2 chains, cut them both and the balcony will fall. This will give you a Jade Hair Ornament which you can trade for this Ring with Stockpile Thomas in the Nexus
- Thief Ring – Can be found in the first area again on a platforn behind Ostrava or on a Corpse in the second area of the Valley of Defilement
- Ring of Magical Nature – Found near the place where you rescure Yuria the Witch in the third area of the Palace

Tower of Latria Rings:

Once in Pure White head to the second area of Tower of Latria and head to the place where you first met the group of worshippers. There will be a bridge which lead to the key to his cell.
- Ring of Avarice – Buy if from the Once Royal Mistress in the first area or get it from the bottom of the middle tower in the second area after releasing the final chain.

- Ronin’s Ring – second area, in the room with the floating orbs just before the Old Hero boss fight
Valley of Defilement Rings:

- Cat’s Ring – Guarded by a phantom in the second area, just before the first fog gate
- Ring of Devout Prayer – Finish Selen Vinland Quest in the second area with Pure White World Tendency, can be also obtained by killing Saint Urbain or trading the Moonlight Sword to the crow
- Ring of Sincere Prayer – Obtained by activating the Archstone after defeating Maiden Astraea
Nexus Rings:
- Ally’s Ring – Talk to The Monumental with Pure White Character Tendency, always say “Yes” to the Monumental near the start of the game.

DHall82 says
Their is a ring that is a gift at the very beginning of the game, providential ring, I believe. This kept me from the platinum on ps3
viciousbroccoli says
Can you get the ring somewhere in the world or do I have to restart the playthrough?
J-Mo says
Stop lying, the ring wasn’t there on Ps3.
J-Mo says
Ok, the ring was there but the original didn’t have starting items.
Chandler F says
Anyone know how to get the “ring of longevity” without having the digital deluxe?
ArchyBebop says
Trade of for a pure bladestone in sparklys’ nest.
ArchyBebop says
Ring of the Uneven Scales:
Increases item burden, lowers equip burden.
How to obtain: farm a gold coin from a fat official, then deop it in sparkly’s nest, reload the game and you can pick up the ring from inside the nest.
Funny how gavin moore claimed they did qol changes but you still have to exit and enter the game for the trade mechanic. Sigh…..
Jim Milton says
I said the similar thing on Demon’s Souls Subreddit and got Downvoted to hell. I said “the remake should be changed on some aspects”. The Fanboys there don’t agree with me because they wanted to keep everything as is.
Ancientwolf13 says
I found out you can get the Ring of Longevity by trading a Pure Bladestone with Sparkly the crow. I traded it myself and received it in my game.
OsuOrr says
Do you remember where you got the Pure Bladestone? I’m trying to get it to drop from the Black Skeleton and haven’t gotten it after ~50 tries.
KingArzs says
You forgot the ring of Devour Prayer from killing Saint Urbain.
KingArzs says
Nevermind, I misread the list. I guess I have to do a new file for all rings :(.
PowerPyx says
I think you mean Ring of *Devout* Prayer (not Devour)?
Because that’s in the guide already:
“Ring of Devout Prayer – Finish Selen Vinland Quest in the second area with Pure White World Tendency, can be also obtained by killing Saint Urbain or trading the Moonlight Sword to the crow”
bob says
Which means if you miss the Providential Ring at the very beginning, you have to start a new save? Anyone know this?
PowerPyx says
Currently yes. There is no known way to find it in-game at this time. The only known method is to pick it as a starting boon.
Michael Llowarch says
trade a large sword of searching with sparkly the crow.
Preston B says
Can you trade for the starting book ring to get the trophy?
Preston B says
Trade with another player I mean.
ruanmad says
Let’s try, add: ruanmad
James says
What about the Ring of Plague Resist?
James says
Or is that what you meant by Disease?
Rob says
I’ve got all 30 rings and the trophy has not unlocked for me… Double and triple checked, I’ve definitely got them all.
*sighs*
Rob says
False Alarm, I somehow missed one on my check… I’m off to get it.
Eyez7 says
Hey Mate, could you trade me the Ally Ring from the Monumental and the Dull Rats Ring ? We got a newborn yesterday and it’s slightly impossible for me to get the time for a new run on NG+ for a while :(… PSN: eyezonthe3dge . Would be really awesome ??
GitGud says
Is it possible to gain the rings on more Chars and counting towards the trophy ? E.G… Just the Ally Ring on Char 1, the Rest on Char 2?
Same for spells
GitGud’sSavior says
No, everything on one character. It’s also possible and less time consuming to get everything on one character
J says
Nope
CyberQuill says
I got all 30 rings but I didn’t get the trophy even though I doubled and tripled check the list and still didn’t get it, can someone help ?
Swing says
Ostrava died in 1-1, after I died there and all enemies respawned and killed him. Do I have to wait to NG+ for the Foes RIng from Mephistopheles quest line?
Duo says
nope f someone on the assassination list is dead already they just get skipped and you dont get the reward for killing them
Eric says
I would also like to know this as I was planning on killing him as soon as I see him for my ring run. He drops the key.
dparker1035 says
When I traded the Pure Bladestone, I received a Colorless Demon Soul. When I traded the Gold Coin, I received the Ring of Longevity. How am I supposed to get the Ring of Uneven Scales? Is anyone else getting different items when they trade? I’m on NG with neutral WT and CT for reference.
jakey says
You didn’t trade a pure bladestone then. Or, you’ve bought the deluxe edition and already have the ring.
dparker1035 says
Jakey, I can assure you I traded the Pure Bladestone because I got another from the black skeleton and the crow said he already had it. It also doesn’t make since why I got the Ring of Longevity when trading the Gold Coin. I guess I can try it again in NG+. Just wanted to see if others had a similar issue. I have the physical standard edition of the game, and not the digital deluxe version.
ExodusAttack85 says
If I screwed up the providential ring, can I get all 30 rings in one new play through? This likely to be patched?
Bramz says
I found a YouTube comment that states it can be traded for the Large Sword of Searching if it was upgraded from a Scimitar. Confirmed by one other person. I’m going to try this in NG+
Jeepdex51 says
Upgrade a scimitar to +8 and upgrade to Large sword of searching at blacksmith Ed’s if you have the Old hero demon soul from 4-3. Then trade that sword to Sparkly the crow.
ShredSonata says
The providential ring trade has been found it seems. Upgrade Scimitar into a Large Sword of Searching and trade it to the crow.
Damian says
Came here to comment this and been beaten to it haha. Yes Sword of Searching can be traded with the crow for providential ring.
Lee says
I need help getting the key from Ostrava I saved him in 1:1 but haven’t seen him since maybe he died am I screwed? I feel this should be added to the guide as the description is very unclear
Broken963 says
So if you found him in 1-1 and he didnt die he will appear in 1-2. From the start head to the room with the Phalanx enemies right after the Phalanx boss. Follow the wall on the left and there will be a cage and you can get to him through the basement walkway from the first tower.
If he isnt there try his third spot in 1-3 you will cross paths with him if saved the first two times fighting red eyed knights.
The final time you get to see him is the last level of Boletaria before fighting the False King but after fighting the blue dragon, he will give the mausoleum key and then turn into a black phantom.
If you have checked all these spots its completely possible an enemy took him out at some point after you thought he was safe and he died. If this is the case then yes you will need to try again in a second playthrough. Most people will prefer to kill him in 1-1 which also drops the key as its too risky to babysit him during encounters. If you kill him he will drop the key also.
Lee says
I’ve got pure white character world tendency I go to the monumental and all he says is you have destroyed all the demons blah blah blah and no ring what have I done wrong??? Can I still get this ring ? Any help? Have I gone too far the maiden in black is below the nexus now if I’ve gone too far then this should be I’m the guide it’s not clear at all feel like I’ve wasted all my time on this game.
Lee says
I’ve gone into new game plus beat first boss gone to the monumental and all he say’s is the monumental perished and arch stones long forgotten……. and still no ring? I’m confused can I still get it or should I give up?
Lee says
I’ve just checked and my character tendency isn’t pure white but I killed the 5 black phantoms what have I done wrong so confused
Ryan says
Because of course the ring you get for trading pure Bladestone is free with the deluxe edition.They thought “Oh so you dont want to farm for 30 hours on a game you beat a decade ago just to plat it,we have a simple solution buy the deluxe edition “.Utterly Ridiculous LOL.
C says
It didnt take 30hrs.
It took around 30min if you go from second bonfire at 4.
Just go up the stairs and there the skellie was.
Z says
I killed all the black phantoms you suggested for pure white character tendency but it remain neutral. I dont know if its a bug or im just that unlucky. If someone want to help me get pure white my psn is riclist.
Jay Grayson says
Same Here! Shoot Me An Add! JayReaper23.
CrazyMD says
Killing them with poison, fall damage, or soul sucker doesn’t increase character tendency. Were you using one of those methods?
GCP says
Does anyone know if the maiden is in the end game arch stone(end game), can I still get the Foe’s ring quest? Or does she need to be in the nexus?
Adravil says
Cat Ring can be later bought from Patches for 40000 souls. If the lot is not available from the beginning — it will be added to stock (probably, should be confirmed/fixed by anyone else) after you beat Leechmonger.
