Blades of the Darkmoon | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

Here's a crazy idea: don't waste hours farming this. Nobody cares about the achievement because all it means is you wasted several hours farming 1,000 silver knights (or several days waiting for summons). It's essentially designed to waste the time of people who think pretend videogame trophies matter. Fromsoft added this to mock you.

I would like to apologize to the people who were target of my first (and last) ever ganking.

I was a blue.

I am so sorry, but I just couldn't stand the grinding anymore.

It was my only blue invite in something like 4 hours.

I am so sorry.

Submit

The time it takes to be summoned makes dark souls 2 blue sentinels lock easier to max

If anyone would like to help please add to PSN- argavil

I'd prefer Ng +30 to get the only guaranteed one 30 times instead of equipping this

Submit

I am currently replaying this game and as in the old days I equipped this covenant(or Blue Sentinel) to help out others who get raided
well I have been summoned 3 times now and each time the host brought me to the invader and the invade ignored the host. one time they even stood together and waved at me to come closer. when I fought him, the host just watched.
seems like people "exploit" way of Blue covenant to farm forked tongues
makes this covenant pretty useless now. the first and second time I killed the invader. the third time I just used black crystal.
very lame guys, very lame

Submit

Wouldn't it be nice to have a covenant for those players who play offline? Yes, yes it would.

Submit

bruh just use cheat engine

Submit

Started playing in 2023 had this equipped almost all the time i never knew how lucky i was for getting a decent amount or summoning i got looking back at it now it kinda lame waiting hours to help someone. Should have stayed a watchdog

Submit

A strange game, the only winning move is not to play

Submit

i thought this game was dead as hell cuz of how long this covenant took to summon me...
in fact, however, it is most definitely not, equip aldrich faithful and i get summoned in most cases, literally FIVE SECONDS, if u wanna actually do some pvp then i really reccomend you equip that covenant, sometimes you even get a coinvader and you will have constant action, only downside is that covenant rewards are irrelevant if you're not sorcerer, and pretty trash even if you are. Ganks arent nearly as common as people say they are at reasonable SL ranges (like 50-60) that most new players are when coming out of pontiffs

Submit

Having experienced how rare summons with this are, I now know the desperation and hunger of the blue. As a red, I don't begrudge them. I can get another invasion in 3 minutes, he's lucky to see another one in 3 hours.
If anything though, multiplayer has made me feel an intense disdain for hosts. The amount of times they throw their blues or sunbros under the bus or only come out from hiding once there's 2 blues and a summon is ridiculous. Please don't complain about invading their world or whatever rot I always see here to defend spineless hosts, invasions are just part of the game. There's no excuse to being a jerk to darkmoons or sunbros who are there only to help you.

Submit

I DID IT!!

But At What Cost?

(Time... Time was the cost.... and the cost was high)

Submit

Long ago, Blue and Red are on the same side, but Fromsoft just had to change it

Submit

You know it's a trash covenant when even people who love PvP would rather farm silver knights for 5-6 hours.

Submit

Only chads remember when this covenant was about invading the invaders marked in the book of the guilty. Now it's not only a lazy copy-paste from blue sentinels, it's also a copy-pasted dark souls 2 feature that, frankly, wasn't nearly as wacky as here. And you call this a "covenant"?

Submit

art reflects life, nobody but the cruelest wants to be a cop

Submit

You owe the entire trilogy's community almost a decade of counter-ganking, you royal blue pukes.

Submit

The reward mechanic for this covenant is so scuffed. You're telling me if I do 90% of your HP in damage, but you jump off a ledge in spite, I don't get a covenant????

Submit

Darkmoon blade sounds cool but as an Elden Ring fan I just couldn't be a blue. I'll go for dark blade instead.

Submit

i put a summon sign to be summoned as a phantom behind pontiff's boss room where the aldrich peeps show up, sit there WITH darkmoon equipped, and i get summoned 20x more as a white to help with invaders that are already there than as a blue.

Submit

i don't think it's that infrequent that i get summoned, but the amount of times i get summoned into a normal invasion of a host of embers or invasion of a host + sunbro is practically 0, compared to the number of times i get summoned into some fight club or strange reverse gank where the invader and host are bizarrely friendly with one another or some other unexpected ritual. like why do yall need to have way of blue on for whatever wacky stuff you're doing? i'm just trying to get darkmoon blade man lol

Submit

Impossible to enjoy

Submit

Psst. You're no hero when you're backstabbing someone in 1v1.

Submit

The "I really really really want to gank but have 0 friends" covenant

Submit

has a rivalry with aldrich faithfuls but does not get summoned to defend against them because faithfuls dont invade with the red eye. jesus christ what an oversight

Submit

I did all the covenants except blue/watchdogs after pontiff and got summoned twice the rest of the game:
-Sat and watched as a blue, a gold and the host ganked the **** out of an invader.
-Host stood afk on the elevator by Stray Demon trapping us, not even an l1 spam to communicate. Proceeded to send us back the second we killed the demon.

I can invade as a sunbro and get medals, why couldn't they just let us invade people that use Red Eye often or something.

Submit

This is the dark souls of dark souls covenants

Submit

The pain of waiting literally hours for one summon, only to have them kick you out manually when you arrive is real :(
This has happened for 4/6 times it's actually matchmade me to someone

Submit

Only downside to this covenant is when you spawn in to help but there are already others there yet nobody wants to help you fight the one invader

Submit

Shy dont let them know....

Submit

Proof of Concord Kept help me

I don't know if I just got lucky yesterday, but whilst going through the painted world I was summoned about 4 times in just over an hour at SL 101/2 with a +5 Sword. Seems the DLC areas are busy with people needing the help of the Blades as these were the only areas I got summoned to.

Submit

This covenant is garbage for all sides.
1. If you are a darkmoon you spawn miles away from the host, sometimes in the place that you are completely unable to reach him (broken bridge, closed shortcut etc).
2. If you are host you always get some brainless darkmoons that die in 15 sec and refill invader's estus.
3. And if you are an invader, you chased the host for an hour, you killed all his gank squad, you saw him chug 15 times, but heeeeyyy let the host have 2 additional gankers and when they die, tadaaa instantly another 2 gankers.

Submit

It's better to like c*ck and balls torture than it is to try and complete the game by doing ALL the achievements. Yeah, good luck waiting to be summoned to the host's world to get that goddamn proof to rank up. Goddamn it FROM, let's us farm covenant items in singleplayer, even if it takes a while.

Submit

Give the miracke when joining the covenant and maybe increasing its power by ranking up or something. Dont make me waste so much time for platin for gods sake

Submit

The worst feeling is finally getting summoned as a blade after an hour of play and then getting the message “host of embers has died, returning to own world.”

Submit

Making covenant items only drop once in a blue moon from pve is a horrible decision. This basicly means you wait like 8 hours to do pvp or farm for 8 hours

Submit

fu₵k the bull$hit covent item rewards and fu₵k from software

Submit

I'm blue dabadie dabadie

Submit

Well, a while ago i said invaders would toss the towel and farm the items or be spears of the church. Looks like that is happening now.

So much for half-assed, but "intended" stuff, eh? Congratulations, the red eye orb will be gathering dust in many people's inventory. Wish you a good farm, blues.

Submit

Getting dmb at any sl is nearly impossible nowadays. Way too many gankers with unscaled phantoms and even hackers/glitchers. Welp, time to waste like 10 days of my life farming.

Submit

Welp got the miracle. Now I don’t have to play this game online ever again lol

Submit

its not the Darkmoon covenant with out the dark sun who made it

Submit

Anyone who calls themselves a "royal darkmoon" should stop giving disgrace to gwyndolin's memory and ditch this covenant.

Submit

Any tips for getting summoned faster? I’m sitting at pontiff bonfire with the covenant item on

Submit

Do you ever get summoned in as the second blue to help a gank squad kill a solo red and think to yourself "Are we the baddies?"

Submit

Don’t worry gwyndolin even though your gone I will always be a loyal Darkmoon

Submit

I only joined to memoriate the soft smooth femboy bussy we lost to Aldritch

Submit

In ds1 blades of the darkmoon hunted sinners as invaders but in ds3 they're just discount sunbro's???

Submit

Why are blues soooo bad!?

>"Summoning Phantom" OH NO
>"Blade of the Darkmoon summoned through concord" whatev...

Submit

Simps of the darkfeet

Submit

It's nice helping someone out when they're being invaded, especially if they are new, since experienced invaders tend to be very difficult to defeat... but it stops being nice when you see the host being a cocky bastard and pointing down the invader, despite obviously needing help on account of them using way of blue.

Submit

Gankers of the Dark Moon

Submit

I know getting summoned as a blade is cancerous, but if you stay around sl60, you’ll get summoned to pvp fights in road of sacrifices all the time. Now, most of the invaders are turds and either twink with murky or use the spiked mace just to make it hard to get concords, but if you’re good, you can get up to a dozen in an hour as long as you survive and invasions keep occurring.

Submit

I wish we could become hostile towards the host the whenever it summons a white phantom.

Submit

Covenant of peen holders

Submit

i've been trying to help sentinels and blades of the darkmoon get their covenant items, but everyone just seems so bad..? like they dont even try sometimes, or they just cant find me fighting the invaders for 15 minutes straight

Submit

While you were defending ganks so blindly and stupidly, most invaders said "fck this, i ll go to the spears of the church or just farm the items. Fck invasions".

And when all the imvaders make that decision, this covenant and the blue sentinels will be absolutely dead.

Submit

which sl is the best for this covenant?

Submit

dont worry,lightning blade is just as good as darkmoon blade.

Submit

I guess im not gonna get darkmoon miracle :( only summoned once and the invader won

Submit

Its just not the same without the hot femboy

Submit

Extensive testing has revealed that the game calculates a player's current level of crisis (a factor of health and stamina deficits) and uses this to queue invasions. As an example, being at <100 hp while midroll almost immediately triggers a summon as a blade of the darkmoon. But this only works if there is at least one enemy within target lock range.

The game also prioritizes players wearing farming gear.

Ideally, a player should dance around mobs at less than 100hp with the Symbol of Avarice equipped to shorten summoning time.

Submit

This covenant puts me into the awkward position of not knowing who the bigger troll is.

Me, for ganking 80% of the reds I see?

Or invaders, for literally making this into a pve covenant by waiting by the boss fog and hoping for the host to die from normal enemies.

It really is a toss up. Is it my fault if I want to rush the reds before they run to hide somewhere? Or is it their fault for using that strat so often that I have no other options.

A real chicken and egg dilemma.

Submit

why tf is ds community so mad and salty

Submit

This covenant is ass for both invaders and darkmoons. If you're a darkmoon, there's a large chance that your host will either die instantly or the invader will just hide behind mobs and drag out the fight. If you're an invader, you can end up fighting 2 darkmoons and the host with absolutely no help.

Submit

Me as an invader with over 3000 hours: Man I don’t understand why BoD’s can’t be chill they’re always so aggressive.

Me getting summoned after waiting 2 hours as a Blade: I. WANT. MY. DAMN. EARS. NOW.

Ah. I see now why they are aggressive.

idk why from just ruined darkmoon covenant in ds3, ds1 version is a lot better, faithful assassin who seeks guilty, not a ****ing wee woo wee woo im gonna wait 3 hours to be summoned and my host dies instantly. Like ds3 already have 2 "protective" covenants lmao + farming proofs woud be a lot easier

Submit

So some time ago I was invading as Rosarias finger in Anor Londo for fun and get to another world, where was host with golden sunbro. They were both, how to say it politely, weak players and can not do anything against me than running and healing. After few minutes there comes blade of dark moon, who was skilled PvP player and with help of sun bro, they managed to kill me. Blue fantom then bow. That host, who was whole the time hideing in background, doing absolutely nothing, comes forward, point down on my corpse and his sunbro copy that. The point is, that the Blade of darkmoon then start attacking the host although he cannot damage him, just to show his disgust of that host. It was very nice of him and if he by some coincidence come to this post, I like to say hello to him!

Submit

A true darkmoon knight would join mound makers to punish the guilty gankers.

If you want to keep going with your betrayal, dislike this.

Correction: Blades of The ****moon
Correction Alt: ***s of The Darkmoon

Submit

Waahh. FROM are terrible developers! I just wanna invade a host while having a build specifically tailored to exploit their low leveled damage, defenses, HP and unexplored level without being bullied myself. T^T Hosts need to understand that I'm more important than them and I'm THEIR punishment for playing this game online and Embered. I'm above reproach, above being counter invaded and above being ganked (though if you get me down I won't think twice to beeline to a dense mob.)

Submit

this wiki mixed up darkmoons and sentinels, this wiki says darkmoon are dark blue and sentinels are light blue while its actually the opposite.

Submit

Honestly, I hate what they did to the Darkmoon Blades. They were never cooperators, but hunters of sin, and this ruined that reputation. Why have two covenants serving the exact same purpose?! Why change what could have been an amazing covenant to being a copycat covenant with rewards?

Submit

The sheer toxicity that stems from blue sentinels and darkmoons makes me think pontiff sulyvahn did nothing wrong.

Submit

Way too many damn covenants. This one probably saw a month of ****ing activity at best.

Submit

This is a sign of just how lazy some of DS3's development. BoD is actually a copy and paste of the Blue Sentinels, and both are recycled from previous games. The only difference now is that they made them both the most boring covenants in the entire game. The fact that the BoD are tied to the Way of Blue is just whack. If reds can invade anyone, anywhere, at any time, then why should the Blades be any different? It's just one of those times when you gotta wonder how anyone thought this was a good idea.

Submit

Imagine trying to get all the rings and then killing Yorshka, 'couldn't be me'

Submit

Gotta love waiting 3 hours to get summoned and then the host dying immediately as soon as you get summoned

Gankers all over irithyll, you’ll be one them sooner or later.

how to get there explanation is super confusing. From Anor Londo bonfire go back to the moving platform with a spiral stair case, go down the spiral stair case and walk straight off the ledge, you wont fall, its an invisible bridge... straight ahead you will see the prison tower and a bonfire.

Trying to farm these somehow. Playing with this covenant for a while but it’s quiet out there. Anybody interested? PSN: choko_unltd100

Submit

Wish it was like the old system. Having played this a bunch, I can tell you most hosts are stupid as ****. You could be 1v1 with the invader and winning and the host will run off, and then come back with the entire areas enemies chasing them and get you both killed. I want to hunt the guilty, not babysit the disabled.
