Miracle of those chosen by the Sunlight covenant.
Temporarily boosts attack and damage absorption for self and those in vicinity.
This is the tale of the Sun's firstborn, his faithful first knight, and the brave dragonslayer who served them both.
Acquired From
- Reward for reaching rank 1 in the covenant Warriors of Sunlight (you must offer 10 Sunlight Medals to reach rank 1).
Notes
- Increases all damage by 10% multiplicatively (Damage * 1.1) and grants 10.0 absorbtion to all categories (affected by diminishing returns like all armor), these effects are cut in half for PvP.
- Can be delayed by holding down the button. Good for co-op partners to have time to get in range to get buffed.
- Unaffected by Spell Buff and Miracle power rings.
- Duration can be increased with Lingering Dragoncrest Ring (60 sec. * 1.3 = 78 sec.)
- Stacks with anything else, including Deep Protection.
- Does not stack with Oath of Sunlight
- Buff range is increased by the Sacred Chime of Fillianore.

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

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

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

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

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.

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)

Stacks with anything else.
Also doesn't stack with Oath of Sunlight.
Man I thought the Nioh 2 page was the only problem.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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 ?

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.

Unlike sunlight sword, this will not overwrite tears of denial
- Anonymous
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.

Considering that weapon spell buffs can't be used on infused weapons, does the same logic apply in this scenario?
- Anonymous
Sunlight oath overwrites sacred oath, so no, sacred does not stack with anything.
- Anonymous
This doesn't work the same in pvp. Sacred Oath be nerfed. Damage calculations need redoing.

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.

This spell buffs the damage of sunlight spear too, not just weapons
You DO NOT need 28 faith to get the spell (got it at 9). Page modified.

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.

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