    You need to redirect the boulder to the "West".
  2. Let several boulders roll down the path. Six will suffice.

  4. The boulders should have stacked up in a hole and one should have broken the wall ahead. Behind the broken wall is a corpse containing the ring.

Answer Dark Sun Gwyndolin's summoning.

Gwyndolin, all too aware of his repulsive,
frail appearance, created the illusion of

over Anor Londo. An unmasking of these
deities would be tantamount to blasphemy.

Availability

Online Matchmaking


The Darkmoon Blade Covenant ring uses two different formulae to find the highest and lowest levels of its range. It can invade other players within co-op range upwards, but it can invade downwards using x - (50 + 0.2x), where x = the invader's level. This means a level 100 player can invade the levels of 30 through 120.

Extends the duration of sorceries and pyromancies cast while this ring is equipped by 50%.

If used for 30 seconds with Lingering Dragoncrest Ring and after that without, 40 seconds of duration are left.

Cast Light
Hidden Body
Hidden Weapon
Magic Shield
Strong Magic Shield

This is an excellent ring for light armor builds, since the bonus to physical defense is not relative to your level or to your existing armor level. It does also mean that the ring grows less useful as you level up, but 50 is a good chunk well into your first 100 levels.
