Blue Sentinels

Covenant Description


The Blue Sentinels covenant, also known as the Protector Covenant, is the counterpart to the Way of Blue covenant. The Sentinels are led by Blue Sentinel Targray.

Blue Sentinels who wear the Guardian's Seal are summoned to the aid of players in the Way of Blue who are invaded by red phantoms. Blue Sentinels can also use Cracked Blue Eye Orbs to invade players who have acquired sufficient sin, or offer Tokens of Fidelity to spar with other Sentinels in the arena.

How to Join


To join, you must speak to Blue Sentinel Targray while having at least one Token of Fidelity in your inventory. Targray is located in the Cathedral of Blue after defeating the Old Dragonslayer.

Tokens of Fidelity are awarded after successful White Phantom co-op. A single Token of Fidelity can also be found on a secluded platform just outside of the Bridge Approach bonfire in Huntsman's Copse. The tokens may be used at one of the statues in the basement of the cathedral to spar with another member of the Sentinels.

Covenant Rewards

1 50 kills Spirit Tree Shield
Blue aura upgraded
2 150 kills Wrath of the Gods miracle
Blue aura upgraded
3 500 kills Bountiful Sunlight miracle
Targray's Set

How to Rank Up


Rank is determined by the sum total of kills from each of the three methods listed. Unlike in the Brotherhood of Blood covenant, deaths are never counted against you.

  1. Defeat an invading Red Phantom after being summoned to defend a Way of Blue member.
  2. Defeat a host who has accumulated sin by invading them with a Cracked Blue Eye Orb.
  3. Win a sparring match in the arena. Find a match by using the statues near the Cathedral of Blue bonfire. A Token of Fidelity is consumed every time a match begins, unlike the Brotherhood of Blood covenant.

Guardian's Seal PvP


In order for a member of the Way of Blue covenant to have a Blue Sentinel automatically summoned into their world to defeat an invader, there are differing requirements for both parties:

For Way of Blue summoner:

For Blue Sentinel protector:
Your covenant symbol will not flash if you do not meet each of these criteria. A flashing covenant symbol indicates that you meet all requirements to be summoned by your covenant.

Similar to Cracked Blue Eye Orbs, Way of Blue members will first summon Blue Sentinels for help from the area the summoner is currently in. Blue Sentinel members have a higher chance of being summoned if they are in an area where summons are more likely to originate.

If the host dies before the red phantom invader is defeated, you will be sent back to your world. It's entirely possible, even likely, for the host to die before you even arrive - red phantom invaders have quite a head start.

Cracked Blue Eye Orb PvP


A Blue Sentinel must be human in order to activate a Cracked Blue Eye Orb. Unlike Cracked Red Eye Orbs, only Blue Sentinels can use Cracked Blue Eye Orbs.

Cracked Blue Eye Orbs will search for the world of a host who has accumulated enough Sin to achieve the title of Sinner or worse. If such a host is found, you will invade their world as a blue phantom. You will not necessarily invade in the area where you used the Orb.

Cracked Blue Eye Orbs first search the area you are currently in, then check other areas. Attempting to use an Orb is more likely to be successful if you use it in an area where sinners are.

The Cracked Blue Eye Orb is consumed once you enter the host's world. Failing to find a host to invade does not consume an orb.

Arena PvP


The statues near the Cathedral of Blue bonfire can be interacted with in order to be matched with another Blue Sentinel for a sparring duel. You must have a Token of Fidelity in order to use the statues, and the Token of Fidelity will be consumed as the duel begins.

Both players enter the arena as blue phantoms, so there is no penalty for death and normal healing items cannot be used.

The winner is awarded a Cracked Blue Eye Orb and a covenant rank point. There is no penalty for losing.

The arena will preferentially match you with someone near your Soul Level,1 but if a match is not available near your level, you can be matched with anyone. The arena does not take Soul Memory into account at all, unlike every other PvP system in the game aside from the Brotherhood of Blood arena.

Each of the three statues leads to a different area. The arena will preferentially match you with someone queued for the same area, but if no one is available for that area, it will match you for any area.

Brotherhood of Blood

Covenant Description


The disciples of Nahr Alma, Brothers of Blood revel in blood by killing other players.

This covenant allows you to duel other members using the arena in Undead Purgatory.

How to Join


  1. Defeat the Executioner's Chariot in Undead Purgatory and proceed through the boss fight area.
  2. You need to have a Token of Spite in order to join.
  3. Talk to Titchy Gren and accept his offer to join the Brotherhood of Blood.

Benefits


Face other Brotherhood members in the dueling arena in Undead Purgatory. Find a dueling partner by using the statues in the room with the bonfire. At least one Token of Spite is needed in inventory to duel, but is not consumed.

Covenant Rewards

2 150 Crescent Sickle

3 500 Great Chaos Fireball pyromancy
Nahr Alma Set
Scythe of Nahr Alma.

You get +1 point for winning a duel and -1 point for losing a duel. Your total duel points cannot go below zero.

After ranking up, losing duels and falling below the point requirement for a given aura will cause you to lose the enhanced aura of the higher ranks. However, winning to increase duel points will restore previously earned aura effects without requiring the player to speak again to Titchy.

Killing Blue Sentinels summoned with the Guardian's Seal will also give you +2 towards the next rank.1

Notes

If using a Cracked Red Eye Orb, you can invade any of the three Chasms regardless of which one you're in. If using a Red Sign Soapstone, it will appear only in the Chasm you placed it, and other players can summon you with it.

When invading through either method, players will spawn as an Abyss Spirit.
