Dark Wood Grain Ring

The Dark Wood Grain Ring is a utility ring in Dark Souls.

In-Game Description
This special ring crafted in an Eastern land is made of gold, but with a wood grain crest on its surface.

Agents of subterfuge in this faraway land are particularly fond of the dark gold wood grain, which greatly alters the player's rolling motion.

Availability
To obtain the ring, join the Forest Hunter Covenant located in Darkroot Forest. Upon joining the covenant, players should be able to see Shiva of the East, a vendor exclusive to members of the covenant. Near Shiva is a partially invisible bodyguard. Kill the bodyguard to obtain the ring; however, killing the guard will make Shiva and other Forest Hunters hostile and also count as a covenant betrayal.

Effect
Changes roll animation to a flipping animation instead provided the user is under 50% equipment weight. The roll is faster than the fast roll and has more invulnerability frames.

In addition, changes the movement speed to that of 0-25% equipment weight as long as the user has under 50% equipment weight.

The Dark Wood Grain ring can stack with Havel's Ring, giving the user a flexible range of equipment to choose from without sacrificing mobility.
