Gravelord Servant

[76561198342005171]

Could you please explain to me how this Servant works ?

[AnKalameet]

Gravelord Servants use Eyes of Death while human in areas where they haven't defeated the boss to infect the worlds of up to three other players in co-op range--10% of SL +10. The infected players do not need to be human to be infected, and do not need their own area boss to be alive. If in NG+, the infected players will see red phantom enemies, which hit like several tons of bricks and have more health than normal enemies; they also respawn every time the area is loaded in, i.e. quitting to the menu and reloading (If not in NG+, they will see no phantoms). In order to get rid of these extra enemies, they must find the sign of the gravelord, which will appear roughly where the gravelord is standing, updating every 60 seconds or so. Upon finding the sign, they can use it to invade the gravelord and kill them. If successful, they receive an Eye of Death and the red phantoms disappear. If the gravelord kills them, the gravelord receives an Eye of Death and the infected player respawns at their bonfire with all souls and humanity intact--and all the red phantom enemies respawn as well. Gravelord Servants donate Eyes of Death to Nito to rank up in the covenant and power up the Gravelord Sword Dance miracles.

You poop at the others' front doors and wait for enraged people to beat you for that.

Ah thank you. Now I understand the servant better. If I want to infect other players I have to use the eye of death instead of the red eye orb , right ? If someone invade me via red eye orb or blue eye orb , after i killed them ,nothing will change their world , right ? The other question is , sometimes when I going to the boss sometimes I recieve a message " the disaster will be vanished after the victory of the gravelord servant " ? what does it mean ?


thank you for your answer

Players that invade via Red Eye Orb or Blue Eye Orb (or Darkmoon Covenant Ring/Cat Covenant Ring if you gravelord in the Spooky Londo or the forest) will not drop an Eye of Death when defeated, but if they kill you, it will still count as a victory for players you gravelorded, and the red phantoms in their world will vanish.

The message "Disasters are gone after the defeat of the Gravelord Servant" means that the gravelord servant that was infecting your world has died and the red phantom enemies (disasters) have despawned.

In the event that a player is gravelorded and then disconnected from the gravelord and unable to invade them, waiting for ten minutes will despawn the red phantoms.

thank you for your answer

-Only the Behelith of Death, other Beheliths won't work.
-No, Darkmoons/Darkwraith/Forest Hippies won't count, you won't get an Eye of Death from them.
-By using the Eye of Death, the summon sign will appear at 3 maximum other player's worlds, and if they are at NG+, red phantom NPCs will spawn at certain locations. They deal tons of damage and are able to kill players in a couple of hits. The only way to cure the world is to ignore the Gravelord Servant for few minutes, wait while somebody kills him or invade him through that summon sign he spawned at your world or by other means. The summon sign will move along with the Gravelord Servant so it may be tricky to chase him but you will spawn right next to him. If you see the message about "the disaster is gone blah-blah", the Gravelord infection is over in your world because someone killed him or he got tired and quited the game .
Also, you can use the Eye of Death only in locations where people can invade you yet, and you can't summon friendly phantoms.

Gravelords are the ultimate psychos. More so than the mad purple people in DS3.

You do it to drive people nuts, people you'll probably never meet. You fight balls out. There's no summoning help, no escaping through your boss fog. You'll get three on you and you'll like it.

Things to know. You can put your summoning sign down while in Gravelord mode. If you get summoned and come back, the effect is gone. Waste of an eye.

You can intentionally infect friends. Have them summon you then leave or BC out. Pop an eye and they'll get infected. Infections last for 10 minutes after a Gravelord leaves an area. You can have them immiediately summon you and you can fight your own phantoms, well, for ten minutes at least.

FromSoftware should've put one gravelord phantom between the bonfire and boss in NG. That way you'd know you're screwing with everyone infected.

[AnKalameet]

I'm pretty sure they always did? I can't think of a single instance where there isn't a red phantom between the nearest bonfire and the boss fog.

Most places there are. There's nothing in the Demon's Ruins or New Londo Ruins. Duke's Archives doesn't really have one in the way.

Anor Londo is done right with the two red/silver knights in the way.

I was talking about a present for the NG folks though. It's annoying that some people you're infecting are in NG and are missing out on the joy of a ♥♥♥♥♥ up enemy.

My bad, totally missed the part about NG. And...nothing in Demon Ruins and New Londo? Actually nothing? I might need photo/video evidence to believe that. I can believe that they're not in the direct path, but there's gotta be something.
