well technically yes, if you kill Griggs of Vinheim, other than that, you wont

Well, it lists 2 places it can be obtained in "Locations", right? There you go.

the most early one to obtain is in sen's fortress so good luck fighting those man snakes!

Works perfectly for me and I’ve done 7 NG cycles.

'Cause the developpers didn't think about it .... would have been a neat cheese strat just like Ceaseless, awarding players who are observant.

It works. His attacks are more random. But he always knows where you are if you harm him. Google Translate

Anyway, seath is blind so...

nope didn't work for me. He still immediately did his OP tail attack as soon as I was near his back

How exactly y'all think it is possible to deceive the grandfather of sorcery . All the magic rings were made by scholars of the dragon school , which was established after teachings of seath himself . Why wouldn't he detect the source of own his magical powers ?

Sorry I meant to say I know it usually does have the aura...

might be because of another personal buff, like the grass crest stamina regen, or bloodshield resistances.

I’ve just noticed that it only does that aura around your feet when your are wielding two weapons, it goes away when you use a shield

Whatever ring is in the first slot will display its visual effect (like green auras for stam rings) and cancel the 2nd slot's visual effect. So if you have Slumbering in slot 2, you may not see the blue foot haloes.

easily done without sorcery

14, Feb comment. LOL. I was thinking the same thing when I looked this ring up a couple of days ago.
