Blade Of The Darkmoon Dark Souls 3
Ever feel like the internet is full of people being... well, not very nice? Wish you could just swoop in and deliver some righteous karma?
Well, in Dark Souls 3, you *kinda* can. And it's all thanks to the Blade of the Darkmoon covenant!
What's the Deal with these Blades?
Imagine Batman, but instead of fighting crime in Gotham, he's fighting terrible internet trolls who are invading your friend's video game.
That's basically what you're signing up for. You're a digital vigilante, a spectral avenger of wronged players.
Becoming a Moonie (That's My Name for Us)
Okay, so joining the Blade of the Darkmoon isn't *exactly* like getting a Hogwarts letter. You need to find a certain someone.
She's hidden away in Anor Londo, the same place where you fought Ornstein and Smough in the first game. Nostalgia!
Once you find Yorshka, she'll give you the covenant item. Slap that baby on, and you're in business. Congratulations!
So, What Do You *Actually* Do?
Now comes the fun part! When a player gets invaded by another player and uses a special item to call for help, you might get summoned.
Think of it like a supernatural 911 call, except instead of police officers, you get a glowing blue phantom showing up to wreck some invader face.
Your job is simple: protect the host! Smite the wicked! Send the invader back to their own dimension with a serious case of buyer's remorse!
The Rewards (Besides Feeling Awesome)
For every invader you defeat, you get a Proof of a Concord Kept. These are like little trophies of justice.
Turn in enough of these to Yorshka, and you'll get some cool rewards, like spells and armor.
Let's be honest, though: the real reward is the satisfaction of knowing you made someone's Dark Souls 3 experience a little less rage-inducing.
The Downsides (Because Nothing is Perfect)
Alright, time for some honesty. Being a Blade of the Darkmoon can be a bit... frustrating.
Sometimes, you'll wait *ages* to get summoned. You might feel like you're on hold with customer service, except instead of hold music, you're fighting hollows and hoping for a blue glow.
But hey, when you finally *do* get summoned and manage to save the day? Totally worth it!
Tips for Maximum Moonie-ness
First, be patient! Summoning can be fickle.
Second, get good! You're going up against other players, so you'll want to be on your game.
Finally, embrace the chaos! Dark Souls 3 is unpredictable, and sometimes things don't go according to plan.
"Praise the Sun...and the Moon!" - Probably someone who just got saved by a Darkmoon Blade.
So, if you're looking for a way to add some excitement and righteous fury to your Dark Souls 3 experience, give the Blade of the Darkmoon a try. You might just find your new favorite way to play!
Happy hunting, fellow Moonies! Go out there and make the internet (or at least Lordran) a slightly better place.
