The Dragon Torso Stone is an offensive item in Dark Souls.

In-Game Description

Stone imbued with the power of the dragons. Rite of apostles of the ancient dragons. Gain torso of dragon. Roar like a dragon.
The dragon apostles seek transcendence of life itself, attainable by transformation into an ancient dragon. This rite is only one step, but it cannot be reversed until death.

Availability[]

Obtained by reaching Rank +2 in the Path of the Dragon covenant.

General information[]

When used, the Dragon Torso Stone transforms the player's body into that of a dragon-like creature. The transformation is permanent until the player dies, cannot be performed while wearing armor, and does not improve the player's defenses in any way. While transformed, the Stone can be re-activated at any time to cause the player to roar, at the cost of 100 stamina, with the following effects:

  • Emits a Force-like shockwave centered on the player, inflicting knockback to nearby enemies and reflecting projectiles. Its range, but not magnitude, will increase depending on the player's Path of the Dragon covenant rank—2.5 meters at +0, 3 meters at +1, 3.5 meters at +2, and 4 meters at +3.
  • Increases the player's Attack Rating for 5 seconds by a factor dependent on their Path of the Dragon covenant rank—20% at +0, 22% at +1, 25% at +2, and 30% at +3. This effect cannot be prolonged using the Lingering Dragoncrest Ring.

While active, the player's Unarmed Attack Rating is multiplied by 20, and the corresponding moveset is altered as detailed below:
