Darkwraith

Darkwraith Covenant

Covenant - not to be confused with the Darkwraith Enemy

Description

Darkwraiths harness the power of the Dark Soul found in each human. Continuing the plan of the Furtive Pygmy and led by Darkstalker Kaathe, members of the Darkwraith covenant aim to be the new Dark Lord, to herald the Age of Dark.

Overview

Joining this covenant allows the player to conduct invasions as a red-black Dark Spirit, a.k.a. "Black Phantom". Restricted to Darkwraiths, the Red Eye Orb allows for infinite invasions in every multiplayer area of the game, making it a very desirable item for PvP. An infinite supply of single-use invasion items (Cracked Red Eye Orbs) will also become available for purchase, which can be used by any player regardless of covenant. An armor set and weapons are also obtained by joining and ranking up.

Requirements

Darkstalker Kaathe is available and not hostile. To gain access to Kaathe:

Lordvessel is not required, but if placed on the alter prior to killing The Four Kings (regardless of talking to Kingseeker Frampt), the Darkwraith covenant becomes unavailable

When joined through the Homeward trick, Kingseeker Frampt will remain available, however placing the Lordvessel for Frampt will make Darkstalker Kaathe leave for the current playthrough without breaking the covenant.
