Requirements
With patch 1.05, Faith requirement has been lowered from 50 to 25 for joining.
Note: The Faith requirement is lowered by 5 for each area boss that you help kill in the world of a player who summoned you. The formula here is: 25 - ([x]*5) = y, where x = Number of times you assisted in killing an area boss as a phantom, and y = New Faith requirement.
How to Join
Pray at the Altar of Sunlight, which is located next to the bonfire below the Hellkite Dragon in the Undead Parish.
Alternatively, if you fulfill the requirement, Solaire of Astora will invite you to join. However, you must reach the bonfire beneath the Hellkite Dragon first.
Benefits
Upon joining you will receive the following:
You will appear as a Gold Phantom when summoned from a White Sign Soapstone and your summon sign will be yellow instead of white.
Upon clearing a boss as a Gold Phantom, all members of the group (summoner and other phantom) are awarded a Sunlight Medal.
You also have higher priority matching with online players from the following covenants:
Betrayal Penalties
- Betraying this covenant removes the ability to use the Sunlight Spear miracle.
- Note: Leaving the covenant in any manner, even without betraying will remove the ability to use Sunlight Spear.
Covenant Level
Exchange Sunlight Medals at the Altar of Sunlight to level up in the covenant.
| Level | Medals | Reward | NG+ |
|---|---|---|---|
| +0 | 0 | Lightning Spear Miracle, Praise the Sun gesture | None |
| +1 | 10 | Great Lightning Spear | Sunlight Spear (requires Soul of Gwyn) |
| +2 | 30 | None | None |
| +3 | 80 | None | None |
Notes
This covenant is very popular for co-operative play purposes. If you are having trouble finding soul signs, joining Warrior of Sunlight may help increase your odds of finding them.
A rather good idea to get access to this covenant would be to assist players in the Bell Gargoyles' fight. Most times people summon Solaire as well, which will add to your stock of Sunlight medals, and you will lower the faith requirement of joining. Just don't level up too high! Drop a summon sign somewhere, then once you've killed the gargoyle in their world, you'll be back where you dropped it before, then just drop it again. If you do this 3 or more times the Faith should drop around 10-15 Rinse and repeat.
Please be aware of that Sunlight Spear is a more powerful version of the lightning spear miracle,
only obtainable after conquering Gwyn. ( Cannot be used while in a different covenant than Warrior of Sunlight )
The offensive miracles given by this covenant sadly cannot be obtained twice in a single save file.
