The Gravelord Servant Covenant

Join by taking a run down to the Catacombs and making your way to the room with the Titanite Demon. Just before him on the left is a coffin that will give you the "Nestle in coffin" command with X. You need to stay in there for a while and also have at least 1 Eye of Death in your inventory (there are three behind the Titanite Demon). You will be taken to Nito's chamber where you join the covenant.



To Gravelord effectively, the boss in your world for that area of the game needs to be alive and you need to be in human form. You need to be invadable. Your victims' bosses need not be alive as they invade you via your sign and they can be either Hollowed or in human form. You can use the eye if the boss is dead, but no curses will be deployed and you won't be invaded in that area. Ever.



Level Ranges

The level ranges of Spirits of Vengeance appears to be the same as co-op with your level as the upper limit: your level - 10% - 10. For example, an SL 100 Gravelord Servant can curse people between SL 80 and SL 100 and an SL 200 Servant between SL 170 and SL 200. Darkwraith ranges are as usual.



Covenant Item

Eye of Death - Farmed from Basilisks in the Depths or in the Great Hollow.

Fun Fact: The Eyes of Death are actually the "eye" appendages on top of the Basilisks' heads and generate the curse mist that the Basilisk spits. Gravelords channel the power in these eyes to other worlds to spread their own brand of curse, collecting the eyes of their cursed victims to continue the cycle.



The Basilisks' real eyes are two white dots just above their mouths (see for yourself by equipping Ring of Fog and Slumbering Dragonquest Ring and use binoculars or bow with additional zoom from Hawk Ring on any idling Basilisk. Cute aren't they?).



Gravelording

Use an Eye of Death to curse the worlds of three players in the same area as you. Cursing worlds is an outcome, not the objective of Gravelording. The objective is to lure those phantoms to your world so that you can fight them and harvest their eyes along with the constantly incoming Darkwraiths.



Think of the blue phantoms as the "powerup dropping" enemies and the Darkwraiths as the standard footsoldiers. Really really varied and powerful footsoldiers...



While an eye is active, you cannot summon phantoms to help you and your invasion timer is automatically reset after the defeat of an invader so this ensures a constant stream of people that want to kill your cursing ass.



The game area you Gravelord is important since areas that have few "large" enemies will yield worlds that only have a few black phantom enemies. To this end, Gravelording areas like Undead Burg, Anor Londo and the Depths is completely pointless as there is no incentive to seek out the Gravelord. You want to make it so that their game is so hard that they feel they first need to kill the Gravelord Servant before they can continue. Mean huh?



Tomb of the Giants, Duke's Archives, New Londo Ruins and Darkroot Garden are prime spots to spread some misery (and increase enemies that drop good items like Channeler Tridents and Murakumos. Everybody wins. Sort of). Gravelording is unadulterated Survival Mode PvP. If you don't like dying, waiting or fighting off constantly invading phantoms, this covenant isn't for you.Join by taking a run down to the Catacombs and making your way to the room with the Titanite Demon.
