All the crowns already gave a buff, you can see that on the wiki.
But when you get all of them and talk to Vendrick, you no longer go hollow when you die if you're wearing a crown.

It is nice to have that but staying human is....well good I guess.

Still seems worthless since you lose souls anyway. Iron king crown seems the best IMO. Regening spells every 2 minutes is nice. The ivory crown sucks. What's the HP regen with it? 10 HP every 2 minutes? worthless...

So I've finished all the DLCs and went into NG+ after getting the buff. Seems the buff doesn't carry over. I wore the Crown of the Ivory King and when I died I went hollow.

Can anyone confirm/deny this?

Did you get the cutscene from vendrick in his dream world prior?

You have to wear King's Crown, not any crown.

Wait.... I wore the iron crown when i talked to him. Does it tie the effect to the crown you are wearing during the cutscene? I swore I died on purpose to a hollow wearing the iron crown and didn't "hollow".

It was working for me while wearing the old Iron King Crown. This easily makes that particular helm the best in the game for PvE.

Yes I did.

Seems it's not completely clear what works and what doesn't?

Did you try carrying the buff over to NG+?

Yeah the iron crown prevents hollowing for me. Just let an undead ditch zombie murder me to the delight / "face palm moment?" of a red invader :)

Sadly I haven't tested it since I'm already in NG+7 and haven't beaten the DLC completely (missing the co-op area).

Oh, there will be people soon enough / the wikis updated :) Thanks anyway.

Edit: About the coop area, you mean farming souls at the end for that armor?

I've been using the Sunken King Crown on my Drunken King themed build, it stops hollowing. I'm pretty sure ALL the crowns do.

That's how I understand it too. No one can confirm if it carries over to a New Game though :/

For me it didn't.
