Wasted Vordt boss soul so now I can't obtain Pontiff's Left Eye ring?

[Bebop]

Like any normal player I used the Soul of Boreal Valley Vordt to obtain souls and level up then later I realized it was a regeant/materal needed to craft the OP life stealing ring called Pontiff's Left Eye ring. As far as I know there is no way to repeat this boss since he's dead and doesn't show up when I go to the same area again. Am I going to have to restart a new character to obtain this ring or is there any way that I can avoid being thoroughly ♥♥♥♥♥♥ by this horrid game design?

1. the ring is not very good

2. the game at its core wants you to read item descriptions. no need to tab out.

I read the item description and it was vague as hell i didn't want to google it. I didn't expect any items to compete with the 20k or so souls i assumed i would get from it or that the game would ♥♥♥♥ over casuall players so harshly.

I'll probably double that.
The ring is really not that great unless you use a weapon that has VERY high attack speed.
Unfortunately you can't utilise the effects well because of... how the game works in general basically.

Also its hightly reccomended to read the description of every single item you come across via inventory.
All bosses' souls have a hint that "you can consume it or use to create something else..."

The ring gives back so little HP that it's really not a big deal, if anything it's a waste of a slot.

If you want a ring that you can idle in when not fifghting to get free regen to cap get sun princess ring later and the ancient dragon greatshield.

That ring is not a big deal, it gives a tiny sliver of hp back from attacks.

Like I said, the game definitely doesn't hold hands. It might just not be for you, and that's fine. Keep playing with it if you want and see if you like it, but don't blame the game for being different to your tastes.

well, i mean, even the games marketing tells you that this is not exactly tailored to casual gamers. on the bright side, now you know to read more into things and be careful. you didn't loose something very important.

Vague hints are queues to do homework that I didn't care for but now I know I have to, period. The ring procs more often on slow weapons so you don't need do use fast weapons for it to be useful.

[Bebop]

Yeah, i get it now. Google stuff or get ♥♥♥♥♥♥. Sheesh.

Welcome to Dark Souls. Vagueness is the main card of these series, always been. Get used to it and be ready to think outside the box.

The effect itself is pretty weak unless you simply don't have a better option.

I just started the game so the ring is pretty useful considering its the second healing source I have in the game.

well, uhm ok then. i would say that the games first playthrough is best played without looking up anything, but if you are that type of gamer that does not feel comfortable figuring stuff out on your own, then thats your only choice unfortunately. you can also ask here on the forum for stuff.

I guess. These rings can actually be fairly useful in early game, but they do not scale and start losing their effectivenes near late game.

Healing 30hp when you have 600 is good (5% heal)
Healing 30hp when you have 1200 is... not.

I'm not a quitter so you might as well stop tempting me with


OMG FISHIES!!

[Bebop]

The sun princess ring only heals 2 hp a sec. How is that endgame healing? That seems pretty trash compared to 30 every few swings. If I get 7 hits in every 15 sec I will be healing as much and i could have had that ring from one of the super early bosses. Are these the only good healing items in the game so far? Edit: other than the shield which also heals 2/sec.

I'm entitled to my opinion

as do we, you saltlord

This is how the game has always been, its not horrid game design, its your horribly linear mindset that caused you to not read the item description.

you complain that you don't want to google everything, well, you dont. You payed for this game, you paid to install the items and the descriptions...

I would strongly advise you read them next time.
