        This is something i hope gets attention if a remaster happens (plus that double barrel shotgun from alpha builds), maybe add to the cainhurst queens questline. I love this game but i know it could be even better and i hope that it comes to pc soon

          Such a bizarre thing to put in the game for only for a few lines of dialogue. Couple this with Alfreds quest and the queenly flesh it was like they had to just cut and paste random items.

          My guess is Sony was rushing them at the time so the ps4 could have its killer app asap.

            Ihyll Root chalice, glyph fccne2cg. In the very first side area as you spawn in. Head down the hall (watch the arrow trap), jump off the ledge to the right of the flaming tomb guardians, on your first right in a tunnel & through two lifting doors. It's in a sarcophagus at the end of the swampy room full of rats and a tomb greatswordsman; a mad one will also book it into the room after the witch summons, so be alert. Area is FRC depth 5 and the first boss is Pthumerian Descendant -- I haven't had the patience to try to see what's past layer 1 lmao. You can get some decent cursed gems from the tomb guardians, so I won't close it either way.

              Hey everyone,

              Although it seems the item is rare but useless - I just hit a random chalice with the Ring of Betrothal in the L3 big chest / side room upon lowering the elevator. I opened the dungeon and the Glyph is dtfn462g feel free to head down there. The 7% lake def buff is on the second level but my memory is bad at the moment.

                Here's your Soulsborne link. This tells of an age of Great Ones, some superior beings who exist alongside humanoid superdudes and ultraqueens. Dark Lord ending of DS3 x number of intersecting universes and this is the twisted, very human result. Yet the dragons are eternal, evolving forever to survive in twisted forms, as evidenced clearly through these games. They are a good metaphor for sin.

                  Sooooo, the only thing this item exists for is to propose marriage to an NPC who will always reject you? Why bother seeking it out?

                        It would seem that the Ring of Betrothal is further proof that any character you can make is far too ****in’ ugly to ever be accepted into a relationship.

                          I have a feeling this has something to do with the Prostitute, she is the one that ends up bearing a great one. Might have to be in ng+ to propose to her after you've acquired great respect

                            Based on the description it would make sense to be able to offer this to Arianna right? Having to bear a special child and all.

                                Seems to me that, considering we have people who can/have hacked all through the game files, we can all rest assured that there is no secret parameter to using this ring successfully. If there was, surely the people going through the files would have found it by now. Hopefully now we can all lay this to rest.

                                  I found the Ring as the final reward in the pre-boss side dungeon on layer 3, right before the Pthumerian Elder. No additional rites whatsoever, completely vanilla, first run through. I wasn't even playing online. Definitely could have just gotten ridiculously lucky, but now I'm curious about whether it is truly as rare as believed? Based on this experience, it seems additional rites are not necessary to find it, although I cannot say if they would raise the chances.

                                        For everyone in the comments that are wondering, I have played this game repeatedly several times with the same hunter and regardless of your actions or choices, you cannot marry Annalise nor can you propose to any other NPC. I've given her blood drugs from every enemy hunter in the game and no change is made. The item is more of a comical item for special interactions with Annalise, and just a collectors item, it serves no further purpose.

                                              Try letting Alfred kill her. Use her remains at the altar in the orphanage boss area and resurrect her. then propose.

                                                A thought just occurred to me: has anyone been able to get close enough to Yharnam to see if she's wearing the ring? She certainly had a hell of a childbirth, after all.

                                                    Just a thought, let me know if anyone has tried this or not.

                                                    Don't you essentially become her kin when you join the Vileblood covenant? It wouldn't make sense for her to accept marriage from you since you would be related by blood technically at that point. Since Cainhurst itself is an optional area, you don't have to go there right after you defeat the Witch of Hemwick, so what if someone were to traverse the chalice dungeons and get the ring before joining the covenant. Since you wouldn't share her blood at that point, would the option to propose to her still pop up?

                                                      I've found a code that still works. You have to have made an Pthumeru Ihyll Root Chalice with both Fetid and Rotted offerings. My chalice just says "Rotted Pthumeru Ihyll". The code is: 73gjetqt
                                                      It's on Layer 1 on the first bonus room, just swing a left and make your way up until you reach a room with a sarcophagus, the ring will be in there.

                                                                I'm assuming this means you can try talking to anyone that cold have a great one in her. If anyone hadn't killed the nurse at the beginning area at this point, try talking to her?

                                                                • Anonymous

                                                                  It specifically says: "only permitted to those slated to bear a special child." The only who actually was considered slated was Yharnam. Now I am totally going off the lore that was conjectured by several sources but they all agree that Yharnam was SUPPOSED to have Mergo. Therefore maybe try giving her the ring prior to the wet nurse fight. JUST an idea. I unfortunately do not have characters powerful enough to handle a depth 5. So yeah, someone try this and let me know whats going on. I assume annalise is special since "CHILD OF BLOOD" is written on the armor set. However YHARNAM popped out mergo. So yeah. Thats all i got.

                                                                  • Anonymous

                                                                    • Anonymous

Maybe their blood is related?) Using iosefka / cleric girl to "purge" or cleanse the blood, and then try proposing.

                                                                      • Anonymous

Too simple? Okay... What if, you propose to Arianna? Since, in the description, it mentions this ring is only permitted to be used with those "slated to bear a special child." Still too simple? Or, perhaps, already done, and failed? Try it anyways... in different scenarios, such as after every boss fight. Or after a certain number of blood offerings. Or what if, you propose to Iosefka during the Blood Moon? Already done? Yes? No? Hm.... Any ideas? This game's story is truly sophisticated...

                                                                        • Anonymous

Still, going all the way to completing numerous dungeons and bosses surprisingly more difficult than anything else in the main game just to get The Yharnam Stone and this ring is just too painful to be a Miyazaki troll. A DLC is a bit too far-fetched when concerning these items since they are too difficult to acquire. Then again, who knows. It could be the most painful troll of the From games, or could be the key to unlocking the "Legendary Blood-Moon Greatsword"

Can someone check and confirm which one? I have limited materials, so I don't want to make a Rotted, just to have to spend more materials to make a Fetid+Rotted again.

Maybe rush to Mergo's, and immediately start doing chalices. Kill the Pthumerian Queen, offer what would seem like an insane amount of dregs (150-500) and start offering it to people until you find ANY NPC that will accept it. Also, it might be worth trying it after you resurrect her if she died. And, it might also be worth it to try keeping her alive killing Alfred then offering it to her. As others have stated, this would not be in the game to serve no other purpose than to just be there. There has to be something we are missing. And on that note, I really do think there is a lot we are all missing surrounding the Queen.

As everyone knows before fighting Mergo's wetnurse you encounter the pthumerian queen weeping, but what you want to observe are her hands. I don't remember which of the hands was, i think the left one, but as you can see she has an engagement ring. I think said ring is the "betrothal ring", and the reason we find it stained with blood is because of the injury the queen has on her belly.

I'd say that's false since I was able to find the ring in Layer 2 with no offerings. It could be that using offerings could change it's location but my theory is that the location is random. My Glyph is 22nb5wzy if anyone wants to confirm.

I am confident that I've somehow triggered a new step in her quest. I noticed a new line of dialogue and sadly I have no idea what the trigger was, I will be testing that soon.

Most likely while they are pregnant. I just asked because of the last part of the ring description.

                                                                                                    • Anonymous

Or can it always be found in a Pthumeru Ihyll Root chalice dungeon while using fetid offering?? I don't want to waste materials..

It would have been interesting if it had some effect but to be honest, the last thing I'd want is a marriage system in a souls game, even if I like some of the characters in the series such as Solaire and Priscilla. I don't think it would fully detract from the game but ... eh.
