Dark Souls Covenants are the best
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 май 2024
- At its core, Dark Souls is a game about the need for humanity to reach out and make a connection. So it only makes sense that its multiplayer aspects are not only a ton of fun but also a beautiful translation of this game’s message. Despite a majority of the covenants in this game being pvp oriented they all find ways to have their own unique qualities and they also intersect with each other in such interesting ways. Elden Ring and Dark Souls 3's multiplayer always disappointed me and never felt quite as unique as the systems in Dark Souls One and I just want to get these thoughts out there because these covenants rule.

Do you have a favorite covenant in this game or do you prefer the multiplayer in other from soft titles? I had a ton of fun putting together this video across several characters and it feels great to finally have it finished! Hope you enjoyed it and have a great day!
i didnt know half these covenants existed bruh i just stick with POTD because it looks cool
As someone who has only played Sekiro and Elden Ring your videos on Dark Souls make me want to return to where it all started
The original is how I got started and I think everyone should give the Souls trilogy a shot someday.
It holds up. I started playing again recently, and it’s an excellent game.
It was my first Fromsoft game even though i only played it 5 years ago (played og not remaster btw but remaster is ok but loses some charm in my opinion). Anyway I absolutely love Dark Souls 1
How does one return to somewhere they haven't been? 🥸
Do you want to return to Demon's Souls then? Are you sure?
Gravelording is peak
I was surprised to see Gravelord signs in my DSR replays this week. Happy to see people are still out and about in the game.
@@CrunchyFinn oolacile pvp never dies
Forest Hunters - Soul Level Between 20 and 30 and Weapon Upgrade level between 5 and 10 for normal weapons Weapon Upgrade level 3 for special shields, no higher.
Thank you for this! Sad I have to reset one of my characters but I'm glad I know this now!
i really missed the covenant feature in elden ring but i definitely don’t miss the farming
The farming isn't too bad for me as long as the matchmaking is active enough
Yeah playing either sunbro, or mound makers in ds3, god do i love the chaos that is guaranteed when a purple bastard appears in a session. Might kill you. Might kill the invader. And true OGs will remember, that mound makers could enter bossfights with you at the beggining of the game. That was just chaos, dodgind the boss and your own summon...
PRAISE THE SUN \[T]/
never really understood the covenants-to-pvp relationship before. Now I've got a raging segue to try them out.
It’s so much fun and there are tons of guides on youtube that help get the right matchmaking stuff too.
I often find myself wondering if modern day from software is capable of making a game with such a unique tone and personality in the same way that every game pre ds3 has. To me it feels the streamlining of their formula from 3 onward took away from some of the unique jank and experimentation their earlier games have. I’d really like to see them try and implement really wacky ideas again, such as the overly complex covenant systems or vagrants or resonance rings or the other numerous systems or ideas one just had stuffed into it. It feels like as time went on from lost an aspect of their personality that was present with demons souls, ds1, ds2 and bloodborne. I worry that no matter how much they choose to move away from their classic rolling knight man games, we’ll never get that same level of weirdness and willingness to just try things regardless of if they worked or made sense. The things they implemented in earlier games gave them a sense of longevity and discovery that the later games somewhat lack. Anyway I think about this a lot especially while watching your videos. Great vid btw
Thank you! For me, despite how streamlined Elden RIng can feel, there is still a lot I love and find wacky about it the more I think on it. The insane George RR Martin Worldbuilding and incredibly esoteric world design reminded me a lot of that early From Software charm and I hope they don't forget that getting weird with it is great.
Nothing but love for my pookie, Gwyndolin ❤
Your pookie? Back off
SL99 - SL125 is the general invasion/summon soul level
You forgot the Daughters of Chaos covenant 😢
Simp covenant
my favourite covenant is mound makers in ds3. The main thing about this covenant that I adore is the fact that I CAN DO ANYTHING. I can turn on anyone at any point and help anyone at any point. You are never safe from my betrayal that may or may not happen, even I never know what will be the outcome because of how chaotic I get with this covenant. Just a simple fact that I can choose anyone as a target or not to choose at all what really made my experience with mound makers just the best experience in the whole series
I will definitely have to check out that covenant the next time I play DS3 because that sounds like a ton of fun!
saw summon sign with a guy named 228 and then right besides him a guy named artorias
The duality of man
As I played all of ds1 in offline mode, I couldn't engage with the covenant system beyond the surface level. Because of this I didn't really see the reason why so many sing the praises of this system in this game. The way you portrayed your experience and thoughts on why its even in the game has changed my mind. Especially when you mentioned how the act of helping or invading others reflects the games theme of humanity.
This rookie really forgot the Princess's Guard Covenant. He doesn't care about protection for Gwynevere's cheeks & Anor Londo.
Bro I'm retarded, I was so bad at the game, I look up humanity, it says "it makes you vulnerable to being invaded by other players", so I was like I don't need this in my life and stayed hollow during my entire playthrough. Never summoned anyone, never figured how to cast a spell, never joined a covenant, never managed to successfully parry anything, died to every boss at least 5 times... started out with a useless pendant and just brute forced my way through the game with a club and a greatsword. My character was a big dumb bald guy and my headcanon for him was "they dug him out of the mud, that's how he got birthed". I missed like half the game and it still took me forever.
That just sounds... sad, man.
Gravelording in the switch version was so much fun. I lucked out and got the titanite catchpole at low level, which shredded players in the undead parish. Good times!
I only wish player kills would give you the resource needed to gravelord, as I would run out of humanities
I was looking forward to covenants in Elden Ring so bad, it's really disappointing that From has given up on covenants, they make multiplayer so much more and encourages people to actually engage with the multiplayer for more reasons than just being stuck on a boss
Covenants really lost a lot of personality in dark souls 3
"Well, that's all the covenants."
The Fair Lady: "AM I A FUCKING JOKE TO YOU?"
I don't know if anyone also experienced this game in 2012-2013.. it was so so different back then. You'd just chill in a voice chat all day, because if you were in a party chat on 360, you couldn't play online.
what??? I played online all the time while in a party
@@S_F_S hey! Yes if I remember correctly, we had to use "Voice Chat" that where you could only speak to a single person, otherwise the game would launch in "offline" mode. If I remember correctly of course lol :)
Ah, Dark Souls. This is where my obsession towards fromsoft's games started.
Same for me! Playing through the trilogy for the first time was something special.
Channel so underrated
You seem like one of the few youtubers that properly appreciates this game
I like forest hunters just for the lack of bandits attacking me in the forest 😆
gwyndolin ❤
In my very own opinion, ds2 has the best "pvp" covenants. Especially for brother hood of the blood and blue sentinels. Hitting rank 3 gives u really good gear and sick ass cosmetic firely glow so people would know ur rank 3. But this is definitely my second favorite system! Amongst the best
My preferred covenant is non-affiliated, because I’m Swiss.
What makes a man turn neutral?
Backing up the characterization of Alvina’s covenant, there’s an NPC that mentions that Darkroot is full of bandits. I forget who.
Good video
such a damn shame that the 2 soulslike games i legally own are the ones with the worst multiplayer. Id love to try stuff out on ds1 and 3 but im broke and id rather get the elden ring dlc
I wish covenants had more content in them. There is so little to progress towards, it can all be obtained in very little time. Years later people are still playing the games with nothing to pursue! They should be releasing PATCHES for the game with new updates FFS, not just leaving them dead. No money in that though?
FromSoftware isn't in the business of live service games, and that personally makes me glad. The entire point of the Dark Souls story is that everything ends, eventually, and that that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Clinging onto past glory and keeping the new from being born is even considered the Dark Souls setting's original sin.
in dark souls 1 you commune with a statue in dark souls 3 you commune with a daughter of gwyn, good video but not much point in dismissing things that apply to both games lol
Valid. I just feel like Dark Souls Covenants have a lot more personality but it really does just come down to each person's taste.
@@LavenderRex7705 naw honestly i agree i feel like most of the covenants in ds3 boil down to a) auto summon on area entry b) auto summon to gank n c) manual summoned to gank, at least ds1 has some variety in how it applies its multiplayer concepts, of all the things in ds3 i would have thought to criticize it would not have been the covenant communion avatars 😭😭
80 Dragon scales😬
It actually “only” takes 30 to unlock the torso.
@@LavenderRex7705 80 to max out the covenant and 30 is still unforgivable
GLOOBY GOOBY GOOB
I'll always stay a Darkwraith. We are part of the balance of the online multiplayer. Without us, there is no punish for co-op and quite frankly, there aren't enough of us outside of township anymore😈
I love sticking to the sewers and parish. My home is the sewers and my family is the rats.
bro 5 is a god at the game, don't play
my fav souls game. sucks its so fuckin dead lmao
Covenants were the best, my only real disappointment with Elden Ring has been the multiplayer
Yeah, I've barely gotten to really experience the multiplayer in Elden Ring because there just isn't all that much there.
as a path of the dragon member, i can confirm we are 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂
