|notes=

The [[Fun-size forge recipes|recipe book]] '''Kings of the Rings''' contains the recipe for the ring of immunity. It can be found in a treasure chest on the lower level of [[the Cruel Crypt]] during the Disciple's Trial in the third act. If two catholicon rings +3 are equipped at once, it is possible to become completely resistant to multiple status effects.

The classic and luxury recipes for the catholicon rings can be dropped rarely by [[Cosmic chimaera]]s.

The catholicon ring increases the duration of effects like [[Oomph]] and [[Kabuff]] by 50%, reaching to a total of 100% when it has been fully upgraded. It will also gain a +8 bonus to max MP when it has been fully upgraded. The ring can be obtained by exchanging 20 [[mini medal]]s once or dropped rarely by [[King cureslime]]s.

A [[Wiktionary:catholicon|catholicon]] is a supposed universal remedy that was believed to cure all diseases and ills in the era of pre-modern medicine, similar to a [[panacea]]. It is derived from the Ancient Greek ''katholikón'', which meant "that which is universal".
