That's an awfully cynical title when you could have gone with something nice like "You can finally go steady with Solaire" or "The eternal quest to join dragondorks" or "Don't pick sorcerer". :colbert:

Spoiler how to become a Sunbro tia

In the house of the Undead Settlement where you meet that first red-eyed whirliweapon farmer, and two of those jingly elves, you should have noticed there is a door you cannot open. But you can get in above it, through a hole in the floor on the level where there's about 50 billion hanging bodies. Then you'll find the sunbro's insignia, right where sunbros belong. mmmmmm tasty

I am not a fan of the NPC invader in the Undead Settlement. He's of the Dark Souls 2 school of NPC invader, I see: heal himself constantly and take jack poo poo for damage in return.

I ended up having to retreat because I ran out of Estus and he'd kill me in one more hit, so I'm sure glad I get to do the area again and then probably have the exact same thing happen :smith:

He runs out of estus bottles eventually, then he can only use warmth and you just have to outdamage warmth or interrupt him when he tries to cast it. I beat him by using the charge jump attack of the club (not reinforced but the regular one, reinforced does a swipe instead). Club was not upgraded.

Where is the glorious sunbro covenant at?

Covenants how to access, in roughly the order you will encounter them -
  • Bluebabies - Speak with Emma in the room opposite fatknight's boss room in High Wall of Lothric

  • SunnyD - Pick up the emblem in a hidden room in Undead Settlement. To reach it, find the house with 2 jingling elves and 1 red-eyed undead villager in it, there are also some cage monsters in a long hallway on the bottom floor. You should notice on the bottom floor there is a door you cannot open. Go back up one floor and find a hole you can drop into to access that room. You redeem sun talismans in (boss spoiler) a hidden room in Lothric Castle, before the Armor boss. Look around the building opposite the entrance to the boss room for a ladder, otherwise you won't be able to get in (there's a locked door on the building you can't open from the outside).

  • Purples (boss spoiler) - Do not engage the Greatwood boss. From the first bonfire in the Undead Settlement, head to where the evangelist and some workers are holding a prayer at a big burning tree. From there, go right along a bridge. Around the right side of the next building is an extra path with lots of jingle elves blowing darts at you. From the furthest right rooftop, you can drop down to another small area where there is a big guy with a cage on his back. Don't hurt him, walk up behind him and enter the cage.

  • Bluecops - Speak with Horace when you meet him and Anri on the Path of Sacrifices

  • Reds - You need to have opened the shortcut to the left side of the bonfire in Cathedral of the Deep (if you are facing the bonfire it is to your left). There is a second door within that shortcut that leads to an elevator. Take the elevator up, kill the crossbow enemy, then examine the ledge it was standing on to find a path around. Then, drop off onto a lower red tile roof path. From there, head up the path and eventually there will be an opening to your left that leads you to a bunch of sexy curvy rafters. Head left along those till you find yet another place you can drop down onto a platform. Fight a bunch of maggot people, then take the door to your right. If you are looking for the full red orb, a NPC in Firelink will at some point appear near the largest empty throne, and he will give you 5 cracked orbs. Use all of them/progress a bit and he will give you a key. Go to the second bonfire in High Wall of Lothric, then go to the bottom floor and use the key.

  • Defendercov1 - In the poisonous swamp area, in the middleish portion there is a tower. Wander around that tower till you find a ladder with leeches at the base of it. Go up the ladder and the covenant will be waiting for you by the bonfire there.

  • Defendercov2 (boss spoiler) - After you defeat the Pontiff boss, there will be a road covered in dead giants. At the end of the road is a building with a staircase leading up, but what you want to do is check around the first room you enter for an illusory wall. Run really fast around the area behind the wall so you can find a fat guy before you are murdered horribly by Rudolph the Red-Eyed Ratdog x2.

  • Blues2s,Even Bluer (MAJOR location spoiler, I'm serious don't look if you have not beaten the game) - There is an invisible bridge off the rotating staircase in Anor Londo, leading toward where the painting cathedral was in DS1. You may have to rotate the staircase. You can use prism stones to identify the path. - thx lets hang out for this one

  • Dragons (location/location access/boss spoilers) - There isn't one. That said, you can get the dress-up suit. You have to fully explore a hidden map you can access from the dungeon/jail map by using a gesture you learn after defeating the Onceiros boss in Lothric Castle. You use the gesture in a shortcut path in the jail, where there is a bizarre broken statue sitting and facing a vista of the mountains and some ruins. Then, to get the second stone to complete your suit you need to talk to Andre/Hawkwood in Firelink then teleport to the Abyss Watchers boss arena.

  • Other Covenant - I'm just keeping the dream alive here.

There is a (boss spoiler) secret room near the Armor boss in Lothric Castle with a sunlight altar in it- iirc you need to go around the side of the building directly opposite the entrance to the boss arena, then climb up a ladder to the roof.

Who thought it was a good idea to keep leveling up tied to a single npc? Afaik DS1 is the only game that had the common sense to offer a quality of life feature and just let you level up all over the place. I can't imagine console players are too happy with having to wait out two loading screens (Don't know how lengthy but prob worse off than PC in that regard) to resume playing, but apparently someone keeps putting it in these games?

The loading screens are nothing like Bloodborne so tbh I didn't notice it, but yes forcing you back to the hub all the time is always dumb and why can't every npc just be in the bonfire (I'm not being sarcastic btw).
