Sun's firstborn - Nameless King
his faithful first knight - Ornstein
the brave dragonslayer - effffing Solaire

Submit

nameless king was the first sunbro that's crazy

Submit

I killed that one Lothric Knight close to the first bonfire in the castle 200+ times.

Submit

per kill with all possible soul boosting items is 67,392 souls each on ng+.

running dark dagger +10 w/ clutch ring, hornet, slumbering dragon, and +1 silver serpent ring. i'm using ***h sacred oath and power within. of course, i've got all the possible soul boosting items. it totals up to 202,176 souls per run on NG+ if you have mendicant's staff + shield of want or two shields of want, on top of the symbol of avarice and a +1 SSR.

Submit

For all players who started with Elden ring, but is now playing the older games

This is essentially Golden Vow, but more bulk than attack

Submit

So wait... If clerics throughout the series so far have all had low dexterity, then does that mean we can safely rename this miracle sacred oaf instead? >:D

DRAGONSLAYER ARMOUR IS A SUNBRO

Submit

This but a cereal: Sacred Oats! Certified to make you deal more damage and take less yourself! Part of a complete breakfast

Submit

the sun's firstborn is the nameless king, the first knight of the sun's firstborn is Ornstein and I guess the brave dragonslayer is either the person who wore the dragonslayer armour or havel but I think it's more likely havel

Submit

Question: is the “brave dragonslayer” The Dragonslayer Armour or Havel?

Submit

75% of my losses in pvp are due to tears of denial; I understand the value of a meta but this is taking things too far.

Submit

A lot of people in the comments are asking why you should use this over oath of sunlight, and the answer is pretty simple, this one stacks with other buffs, like deep protection and tears of denial (and seriously, can people stop whining about tears, it isn't even hard to deal with)

Submit

Does this increase bloodloss damage?

Submit

Stacks with anything else.

Also doesn't stack with Oath of Sunlight.

Man I thought the Nioh 2 page was the only problem.

Submit

Ornstein served Solaire? Or was there a Knight of the Sun's Firstborn beforehand?

Submit

Almost thought it said "Sacred Oats"

Submit

Link to page: "Increases damage (physical)
Information on this page: "Increases all damage types"
Which do i believe?

Submit

If you use rose of ariandel and a teammate use this does sacred oath cancel out the rose buff?

Submit

bruh i was planning on doing a full buff build with lothric war banner, sss skill, this and deep protection, but just found out they are all nerfed in pvp except for the spear.. guess ill just come back to my good ol dark harald curved gs

Submit

totally useless, so sad. sl sword exist so this is pointless, and for anyone who dare to say that it last longer, it last only 15 seconds longer, but cost 25 more mana, so 2 casts of this speel are 130 mana and give you 2 minutes, while 3 cats of the sword are 120 and give you 2 minutes and 15 seconds. the sl sword gives more damage on top of that.

Submit

I cant get it either and I've thrown like 200+ medals in there and all I got was the rank 2 great lightning spear. Malarkey!

Submit

Just gave it 36 medals and got nothing.

Submit

I can't get sacred oath with ten medals

Submit

Sacred oath + lightning blade + raw drakebloodsword is golden. 900+ dmg gauranteed

Submit

Lorians greatsword, fireclutch ring and sacred oath, burn thou foes into oblivion

Submit

The sunlight ss is better in EVERY way thebuff from the ss gives more damage, cost less fp and can be tooken off after use why did from do this

Submit

Anyone understand why after I cast 'Sacred Oath' the buff is instantly removed when i switch to dual wielding a weapon??

Submit

does this stack with deep protection?

Submit

Turned in 30 sunlight medals. Didn't get Sacred Oath. :( Very frustrating.

Submit

I would like this spell more if it didn't require two slots to use. I currently have 7 slots and all are occupied by Soothing Sunlight, Tears of Denial, Sunlight Spear, Lightning Stake, and Lightning Storm. If I want to use this i have to sacrifice a ring slot for Darkmoon Ring, Give up Lightning Storm or ToD, or raise my attunement to 80, none of which seem worth a little extra damage and and damage absorbtion

Submit

I would have this on my bar a lot more, if people didnt rush through the fog door the second I get in their world

Submit

Every dedicated Sunbro build should use it. You buff yourself, others. Duration is long enough. Can half the time to beat boss literally. People will love you.

Submit

Is there any way for me to get it again if I accidentally deleted it?

Submit

How else can you retrieve this spell

Submit

I never got this spell and I have done whatever needed to be done

Submit

For some reason when I use this and then use the Sunlight Straight Sword's weapon art "Oath of Sunlight", the weapon art raises AR by a measly 6 points. When I use Oath of Sunlight THEN Sacred Oath, it drops AR by 6 points. So, if you are looking to make a Sun bro type Co-op build like I have and want to use the Sunlight Straight Sword, best to just avoid this spell.
It seems Sacred Oath has a larger AoE (not entirely sure) but the nerf you'll potentially give to yourself of 6 points as well as the buff of only 6 points is not worth the attunement slot. You can buff your co-operators all the same by simply using your weapon art.
Safe to say I am relatively dissapointed but for a build not using the Sunlight Straight Sword, this miracle could potentially be a powerful PvE co-op buff!
I don't imagine it to have much effectiveness in a PvP setting.

Submit

Generally nor worth using in a casting build since casting extra spell with either mach or surpass the extra damage dealt for its fp cost. It's also pretty slow thus risky for mid battle casting.

Submit

near useless in pvp, grating around 3% damage and absorption.

Submit

idk why but i offered 30 medallions of sunlight and the game gave me the other item but it didnt give me the sacred oath miracle, i really want this for my build but i cant get it anymore. Anyone on ps4 willing to give? (Psn is Ice_Demon2003) would be greatly appreciated.

Submit

The only diminishing return this suffers from in PvP is the absorption. The damage boost is 100% active in PvP, no diminishing returns. Cause there is no way I'm getting 1124 AR on my Buffed Lothric Knight Greatsword and two shotting people for 1200-1400 damage if Sacred Oath wasn't fully working.

Submit

This seems to boost the power of spells as well. I noticed it increased the damage on my way of white corona and emit force by about 20-30 points

Submit

I noticed something strange, iam using axe (warcry weapon buff), with Sacred Oath + Pontiff right eyes ring look like when pontiff ring is activated turns off the sared oath buff. Iam not sure, the Sacred oath starts to blink when ever Ring buff is out, maybe 3 kind of dmage buff cannot be applied. Can some1 test this ?

Submit

Raises all types of damage by 5% for PvP. Does not raise it by 10%.

Sunlight Oath raises the damage more on-paper, but in PvP the actual boost is only 2.5% over starting damage.

Submit

Is there any way to get it again if you sold it?

Submit

Unlike sunlight sword, this will not overwrite tears of denial

Submit

The Sunlight Straight Sword weapon art casts the same spell, the only difference is that it lasts 45 seconds instead of 60 no matter what you do and it costs 45 FP instead of 65. So with the miracle you can have Lingering Dragoncrest Ring +2 for about 24 more seconds.

Submit

Considering that weapon spell buffs can't be used on infused weapons, does the same logic apply in this scenario?

Submit

Sunlight oath overwrites sacred oath, so no, sacred does not stack with anything.

Submit

Well apparently all PvP buffs are trash now :(

Submit

This doesn't work the same in pvp. Sacred Oath be nerfed. Damage calculations need redoing.

Submit

Everyone likes the guy who buffs others before the boss.

Submit

Who was the "faithful first knight" refered to in the description? We know that likely the firstborn=Nameless King and the dragonslayer=Ornstien, but i dont recall anyone who fits the bill of the first knight very well. My best guess is Artorias, if anyone has anything else please comment.

Submit

This spell buffs the damage of sunlight spear too, not just weapons

Submit

You DO NOT need 28 faith to get the spell (got it at 9). Page modified.

Submit

***** this game

Submit

Like buff, is this better than lightning blade?

Submit

"This is the tale of the Sun's firstborn, his faithful first knight, and the brave dragonslayer who served them both."Faithful First Knight - "If only I could be so grossly incandescent!"

Submit

Sounds sexy

Submit

Can this stack with heal over time spells?

Submit

How long does it last?

Submit

This is a body buff right? So it should work with bows as well?

Submit

contributed about 25 medals total, still didnt get reward

Submit

Sunlight Strait Sword is level 1 reward of Sun Covenant

Submit

Can I somehow re-get it When I first got it it went to storage and didn't count to the master of miracles achievement

Submit

so the jolly cooperation is tale of those three?

Submit

Sunlight spear lvl 50 faith with saint's talisman against lothric knight goes from ~900 to about 1100. Add about 800 with the point blank modifier.

Submit

does this stack with any other buffs?

Submit

Does this increase weapon elemental damage?

Submit

The buff given by sunlight sword skill and sacred oath do not stack. Sunligh sword offers slightly more damage, but less defenses. Exact numbers are around 2 and 2%

Submit

gives about 8% to all physical and all magical damage absorption at 32 faith and 135 buff power

Submit

for lore purposes

Submit

does this effect spell damage?

Submit

Tested it last night for a bit. Defense and Attack appear to be a flat 10% increase.Magic adjust has no effect.
