| Warrior of Sunlight |
Description
The Warriors of Sunlight are the followers of the firstborn of the Great Lord Gwyn. They harness the power of sunlight, manifested as lightning powers.
Overview
This covenant is mostly for co-op purposes, with an additional focus on attack Miracles (contrast the Princess's Guard). Joining this covenant allows the player to be summoned as a Gold Phantom for cooperative play. Joining and ranking up will give the player access to several offensive miracles. Higher priority matchmaking on the network also facilitates a higher success rate of co-op summons, and a reduced risk of invasions.
Requirements
25 Faith is required for joining. The requirement, however, can be lowered by 5 for each area boss cleared while being summoned as a white phantom.
For example, if 4 bosses are defeated as white phantom, only 5 Faith will be the new requirement (25 - (4x5)) to join the Warrior of Sunlight.
How to Join
Pray at the Altar of Sunlight, which is located next to the bonfire below the Hellkite Dragon in the Undead Parish.
Benefits
- Members have a higher priority connecting online with players in co-op covenants (Way of White, Warrior of Sunlight, and Princess's Guard) on the network. This reduces the risk of invasions, as the connection slot is used for co-op instead of invasion
- When using White Sign Soapstone, the player's soul sign and their phantom will appear gold instead of white
- Upon clearing a boss with a Gold Phantom in the surviving group, all surviving members receive a Sunlight Medal
- Strong ranged Lightning-damage miracles in the form of Lightning Spear, Great Lightning Spear, and Sunlight Spear

Notes
- The Sunlight Spear requires current membership of the Warrior of Sunlight covenant to be used. The Lightning Spear and Great Lightning Spear miracles can still be used after leaving the covenant.
- The Sunlight Spear is available to most players only in NG+ because it requires the last boss's soul. However, it is possible to obtain before NG+ if the soul was gifted by another player online.
