This is an interesting ring that's available for purchase from the cat living in Majula, Sweet Shalquoir. The ring itself is not so much a secret, but its use certainly is. In the Shaded Woods area, a large man-scorpion stands alone in a sandy arena. His name is Manscorpion Tark, suitably enough, and while an unaware player might mistake him for an enemy, this beast is actually a potential ally. To talk to him, you'll need to equip the Ring of Whispers. Tark will then interact with you, and you'll unlock the ability to summon him during the area boss fight. It's a rough battle and he provides invaluable backup. The Ring of Whispers will make an eerie noise when enemies are near and it's easy to assume that this is its only purpose if you aren't aware of this secret use. There's a huge number of special, hidden items in Dark Souls 2. Are there any items that you thought were particularly cool? Let us know in the comments below!
