Pontiff's Left Eye

pontiffs left eye


Bewitched ring that Pontiff Sulyvahn bestowed upon his knights.

Recovers HP with successive attacks.

Knights who peer into the black orb are lured into battles of death, transformed into frenzied beasts. No wonder the Pontiff only provides these rings to those dispatched to foreign lands.

Pontiff's Left Eye is a Ring in Dark Souls 3. This ring allows you to recover 30 HP after successive attacks, and it has a low weight of only 0.9, making it a valuable addition to any build. When you strike multiple enemies in quick succession, the ring's effect can trigger repeatedly, resulting in a significant boost to your character's health. This makes it particularly useful in situations where you're dealing with groups of foes or using fast-hitting weapons. The ring can be obtained by transposing the Soul of Vordt of the Boreal Valley, adding a strategic element to your decision-making when choosing which boss souls to use.

Dark Souls 3 Pontiff's Left Eye Testing Notes:

  • Weapon Arts count towards the combo counter.
  • Charged attacks count for more points on the combo counter.
  • Healing effect may proc before actual hit connects from input.
  • Invaders may see healing effect before healing effect actually occurs, or when it never occurs in the first place.
  • Weapons with vastly different movesets from their standard may have a bit different results from their weapon class. For example, the weapon "Halberd" has a partial spear moveset, and has different results from the rest of the Halberd weapon class for the most part.
  • Hits that land just after the enemy dies counts towards the combo counter (tested with Sellsword Twinblades, two handed: two light attacks while target is alive, the third one while the target is dead, completing the combo and healing the player)
