Aldrich Faithful

Aldritch Faithful

"The holy symbol of the Cathedral of the Deep, and crest of those who see beyond fire to the age of deep waters. Equip to pledge onself to the Aldrich Faithful covenant.

The faithful ensure that Aldrich, Devourer of Gods, remains undisturbed, by taking the form of loyal spirits and hunting down those who would trespass the ruined cathedral.

Summoning takes place automatically while this is equipped."

Aldrich Faithful is a Covenant in Dark Souls 3.The covenant can be gained by equipping the item Aldrich Faithful which is obtained from the Irithyll of the Boreal Valley. While a member of the Covenant, faithful phantoms are blue with a red tint. Will be summoned randomly to defend around the Anor Londo area.

 

Aldrich Faithful Information

  • You must obtain the item: Aldrich Faithful and equip it.
  • In Irithyll of the Boreal Valley, from the Pontiff Sulyvahn bonfire, proceed straight through the door, left up the stairs and right through the valley of dead giants and into the door at the far end. Immediately on your left is a wall that can be struck to reveal a ladder. Descend the ladder and fight the two Sulyvahn's Beasts that guard Archdeacon McDonnell, who will be located in the north-west corner of the room.

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

Effects of covenant

  • Faithful phantoms are blue with a red tint.
  • Will be summoned randomly to defend around the Anor Londo area (you don't have to be in that area to be summoned).
  • If the covenant symbol is flashing-white in your screen, it means you're searching for an intruder.
  • The Matchmaking Formula is Covenant Dependent:

Condition Min Max
Territorial Invasions by: Watchdogs of Farron or Aldrich Faithful Host - 20 - (Host * 0.2) Host + (Host * 0.1)

 

Rank Requirements

Players can increase their rank in the covenant by offering acquired Human Dregs Items to Archdeacon McDonnell in the shrine behind the Illusory Wall in Irithyll of the Boreal Valley. These can be acquired via the successful invasion of other players whilst wearing the covenant item or as a drop from the Deacons in Anor Londo & around the Pontiff Sulyvahn bonfire. (Note: invasions using the red eye orb while wearing the covenant item will not yield you a Human Dreg. You will obtain a pale tongue.) The rank requirements are additive, meaning you only have to earn a total of 30, not 10 and then another 30, to obtain all covenant rewards.

      Going through this coment section waiting for summons has been hilarious, Aldrich faithfuls going from the ganked to the most toxic vile leigon of gank squads is so poetic

        nobody plays this covenant for the covenant you play it for the coinvader and the fact you under the police (blue bois) radar

          From what I found out, if you block the invaders like I did on Xbox, they can still invade you. I don’t have a problem anywhere else but for this covenant only

            "B-bu-but the aldrich is attacking meee i'm an invadaaa" tsk, the last thing i want to be concerned about is friendly fire. I get we both should focus on the host/phantoms but the lock-on range is as whacky as it gets and i don't even know what are you on about in our specific territory to invade, so move the fck out of the way!

              this covenant has the most toxic invaders period.
              even when i invade as one of them i get so toxic for no reason at all, doesnt happen in any other covenant

                If I’m in NG+ and I equip this before defeating Pontiff, will I still invade people as Aldrich Faithful?

                  I don't understand the in-universe reasoning for this covenant. Aldrich doesn't seem to have any redeemable qualities and the inhabitants of Anor Londo should hate him, and he doesn't seem to care about anyone except himself, so... why is there a covenant about being faithful to this guy, rather than any other boss? It just seems so random

                      I'm playing through for the first time, and I just made it to this area. I've never figured a way to get into pvp easily during my 200 something hours of Elden Ring, and had only PvP'd my invaders (Rune Arc'ing up should let you be invaded) and then I got here. I put the faction Item on, and withing 2 minutes I was summoned. 2v1 with the numbers in my favor. Now, I don't like gankning, so I watched them duke it out, and then fought the host. For ONCE the player seemed to be on my skill level about, and I ended up winning. Go back to my world on a high, and BAM legit 30 seconds later I'm being summoned into another world. It's like this unti I encounter a Gank squad of like 4 people, one of them was pretty weird and laggy, so I actually had to take it off, because it would just keep pulling me to invade over and over but unfortunately to their world seeing as the game is low pop.
                      We NEED something like this for Elden Ring.

                              This is by far the worste covenant by far. You're just trying to do your covenants to unlock unique items but you keep getting summoned in a world with 2 white phantoms just there to ruin your day....

                              • Why are all the covenants in this game area based? If you try to do things after beating it you're actually forced to farm enemies because no one is level 90 in anor londo

                                  Respect! I’ve learned my lesson. Go into there enkindled and you’ll get your arrogance smacked around by an invader and a few faithful. Rules are nonexistent, no bowing, no waving, just pure mayhem for anyone dumb enough (like me) to dare enter their lands enkindled.

                                    i love this covenant but the one critic i have is the rewards, the soul dreg is good but compared to the big on in the dlc its just not worth it, and the staff is bad just use the murky one

                                                  Okay I have to share something. First DS3 playthrough here. My experiences with PvP so far have been... mixed, to put it gently. Okay let's be honest : I get destroyed and humiliated most of the time. The only reason I look into multiplayer is because I want the plat trophy and From decided it was a good idea to link that to obligatory PvP, or hours of painful farming. My first PvP encounters against gods of lag control on one side (not blaming the people who learned to work with it, just... if you want to include PvP in a game, try to make it work ? And I know this'll earn me a number of inevitable "Git guds" and other niceties, but nothing will change my mind about the fact that lag compensation shouldn't be a skill you have to acquire in order to be able to play, let alone be competitive), and me stupidly blurting out things like "that should have hit him" on the other, had me resigning myself to hours of painful non-PvP farming, becquse it still wouldn't take as much time as successfully invading or defending dozens of times. And then I got invaded by two Aldrich Faithful while I was battling the twin NPC Drang after Pontiff Sulyvahn. Went "Well, here goes another humiliation..."
                                                  They let me be, watched me duke it out with the two Drang NPC a**holes and didn't interfere. When I finally won, I bowed to them in thanks for not ganking, and they dropped hundreds of embers and champion souls for me and left. Probably enough to double my SL in one go. Couldn't believe it. Actual nice people in PvP.
                                                  So to those two of the Aldrich Faithful : as far as I'm concerned, people like you are the ray of light in the otherwise depression and cancer inducing DS3 PvP experience (seriously, I'd rather take my chances with radiation at this point). Especially after reading through this comment thread, which seems to confirm my general opinion about PvP. For the next couple of minutes before the next sweaty gank invasion, you have restored my faith in this community.
                                                  So I *Toast Gesture* to you, and Praise the Sun !

                                                    This is by far the most fun/easiest covenant to grind for. Not only are the drop-rate for Human Dregs higher than all other covenant items, there are like 7 deacons near pontiff sulyvahin bonfire for easy farming. And thats just for offline, its even easier online, because of the duel arena outside Pontiff Sulvahn, that area is the most active in the game, you will almost always get summoned in less than 3 minutes. Combine that with the fact that its usually three of you and 1-2 of the host's world, the odds favor you. Also, you only need the Rank 1 reward for achievements, so you only need 10 dregs unless you want the staff.


                                                    What I don't understand is why From made this covenant so good and made some of the others literal hell to grind through (Darkmoon & Mound-makers).

                                                      Online really sucks in Souls games, I just need the stupid covenant items I found this. What a joke.

                                                        Was invaded by 2 of these guys in the area after pontiff. I still have no idea if they were human players or not because they're names were NPC-ish and i just thought they were regular NPC invaders until I saw lag and very much human movement. Killed both of them, miracilously. Since i used the greatsword one guy always rolled through my attacks. Had to parry for once. Glad that worked out

                                                          Hi!
                                                          I'm trying to complete my low sl low weapons run. I'm sl15 with +2 weapons. I was farming stuff in the Undead Settlement. I had the Aldrich Faithful covenant equipped, because I still need to get some Human Dregs. I know that I'm not in the level range for that covenant, but I said to myself that I still could maybe get summoned once in a while. It never happened except today, but I was summoned twice in a row in the Crucifixion Woods instead. There was this kind of fight club going on. The host of ember was really strong and way better than me. When I died I got summoned a minute after in the same area with the same host again.
                                                          I would like to understand how can I be summoned in the Crucifixion Woods with the Aldrich Faithful covenant equipped (and I checked twice to make sure of it). I'm playing on PC via Steam, if it changes anything.
                                                          Thanks for your time fellow players!

Last night, one Aldrich named Maurice and I ended up finding each other over a ton of invasions (SL60+6), and we developed a sort of strategy where he'd chase the host up the stairs, and as they were coming out the top, I'd pop a Chaos Bed Vestiges from behind the stairwell. Ended up knocking three hosts off that way, and one died in two hits after Maurice had damaged them. It was the most fun I've ever had as an invader, and I hope they find this and know they're the dream co-invader. <3

                                                                                    • Anonymous

But with so much cringy sht from every host that isn't alone, i ain't so sure about invasions being something "evil" to do.

                                                                                      • Anonymous

                                                                                        So yeah, I am this kind of player who doesn't care about the progression of the game and trap invaders for fights, but at least I am doing a solo gank ^^

Simple: for spreading toxicity throughout the community as much as the old one spreading the fog through demon's souls world.

It was so funny and wholesome and honestly made my day. Good to know that there are honorable, fun aldrich faithfuls out there even if it's usually not my covenant of choice

                                                                                            • Anonymous

The host they feel sorry for and act so honourable with would never fight them solo if they had summons available, they will always gank the invaders if they have the means to do so. The other factor is that the game has not only 1 but two major locations for honourable duels, the pontiff arena made popular by the community themselves and an arena from the dlc that the developers set up themselves. Trying to turn invasions into something that’s already available in game kills the novelty and excitement of it all together and it’s painful to watch it happen.

You hate ds2 so much yet you do exactly what vendrick did back in the day: to take what doesn't belong to you.

The last thing we want to be concerned with in the gank city is friendly fire, so if you re not an aldrich, you have 3 options: fight, hide or die.

As a moundmaker, getting attacked by you guys is the most annoying part of playing at meta pontiff. We are teammates. How hard is that to understand?

He was teaming with a sunbro & a white phantom, fending off a red invader and a purple mad ghost. We fought in the square by the giants, this massive 3 vs 3 fight, dodging the giant swings, and while fireballs were being rained upon us. I got the kill on the host. 10/10 will invade again.
