In Dark Souls, which ring increases the player's maximum equipment burden?

The story behind the answer

In Dark Souls, Havel’s Ring increases the player’s maximum equipment burden.

The ring is named after Havel the Rock, a powerful warrior associated with the Lord of Sunlight. It is found on a corpse behind a locked door in the tower beneath the Taurus Demon’s area, and the key to that door is obtained by defeating Havel the Rock.

Increasing equipment burden allows a character to carry heavier armor, weapons, and shields while preserving a desired movement speed. This makes the ring especially useful for heavily armored builds, although players must still manage their total load carefully.

Ring of Favor and Protection is a frequent wrong answer because it increases maximum health, stamina, and equipment burden together. However, it breaks permanently when removed, unlike Havel’s Ring.
