Learn how to earn Sunlight Medals and rank up in the Heirs to the Sun covenant in Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin to get powerful rewards like the Sun Sword and Sunlight Spear.
Hey there! So you're looking to join the Heirs to the Sun covenant and get some sweet buffs and gear? This covenant is all about helping others out in co-op, and thankfully, it's pretty straightforward to rank up. You'll be earning Sunlight Medals by helping hosts defeat bosses, and these medals are your ticket to some really cool rewards.
When you join this covenant, your White Sign Soapstone will glow gold, and you'll get a shiny golden aura yourself when you're summoned. It's a great way to show off your co-op prowess!
You can earn Sunlight Medals in a few ways:
- Defeat a boss while you or another summoned player is alive.
- Spend a full session with a host, which also revives you to human form.
- These medals can also drop from Falconer Knights in Things Betwixt (starting in NG+) and the Dark Magic Giants in Harvest Valley.
Here’s a breakdown of what you get as you rank up:
| RANK | REWARD | REQUIREMENTS |
| 0 | Sun Seal | Join the Heirs to the Sun |
| 1 | Sunlight Parma | 10 Sunlight Medals |
| 2 | Sun Sword | 20 Sunlight Medals |
| 3 | Sunlight Spear | 30 Sunlight Medals |
- The easiest way to get medals is to place your White Sign Soapstone near a boss fog gate and help out other players.
- Don't forget that helping a host for an entire co-op session also nets you a medal and brings you back to full human form, which is a nice bonus!
- Keep an eye out for Falconer Knights and Dark Magic Giants, as they can sometimes drop medals, especially if you're in New Game Plus or later.
