[BUG] Ring of Sacrifice doesn't work

[MilkProduct]

I was "fighting" Seath with the ring equipped and when he killed me, the ring was still intact and I had lost all my souls. What the heck is this QLOC? Not to mention I even got cursed *after* I died and the screen was already fading to black.

Not true - the Seath event is one of the intended uses of the ring(s). You definitely shouldn't lose all your souls if you have one equipped. Doesn't happen in the base game - I use a ring every time.

This is why. Since you were cursed it didn't activate because that requires the Rare Ring of Sacrifice.

I'm not saying it isn't stupid broken, still, but that's the reason why.

Really? I was under the impression that the rings - all of them - save your souls when dying, regardless of cause of death. The Rare ring adds "removes curse" to the description (aka the curse is gone **on revival**), and the standard ring says nothing about cause of death.

That said - I also usually have high curse-resist gear on at that point of the game, and may not have hit full curse build-up before dying to general damage.

Aw that's dumb. I would undestand if I had died to the curse but I let myself get killed to Seath's breath and then got cursed as I was already in the dying animation. Eh, whatever I guess.

I've used that ring successfully several times in the Prepare to Die Edition at this exact place.

I didn't have this bug.
You probably ring swapped late.
I've beaten the game 3 full times now killed every boss.
So I can say without a doubt I haven't had this issue.
You probably ring swapped late.
Would be a good idea to provide video evidence.

I used the Rare one and it worked fine for me.

They have changed things in this game. For instance you can no longer sell the Darkmoon Blade
or Cat Covenant rings to Frampt. I would not be surprised if the normal RoS no longer works at all vs Seath. Or a bug. Meh.

For science - and because I'm not far from Seath in my own playthrough - I'm going to test this properly. No curse resist gear/items, standard Sacrifice ring, ring of steel protection and heavy armour - hopefully guaranteeing curse before death from standard damage.

I'm sure I've never used the Rare ring, but not sure that I got cursed every time before dying. Unfortunately I don't have a base game character in the right place to test it.
