Abandoning Covenant

[(Edgy) Asriel Dreemurr]

So playing through game for the first time. I'm currently in the Forest Hunter Covenant so they don't attack me in Darkroot. If I join another covenant, will this count as betrayal and cause them to attack me again? Also if they do, can I rejoin the covenant later, mainly for the weapons the one guy sells in Blighttown?

[AwkwardMan]

Yes, they will attack you if you abandon their convenant. You can rejoin only after alvina tells you off and you request absolution.

[Shard of Manus]

Yes, and no.

If you abandon a covenant by joining another, it will consider it a betrayal and (if you've gained any) you will lose rank. Also, because Alvina's a stingy so-and-so, she will also refuse to speak with you afterwards and will disappear from the game.

Requesting absolution from Oswald of Carim will solve this issue, and you will be able to rejoin.

Alternatively, going straight to Oswald whilst still in the Forest Hunter Covenant will allow you to abandon it without causing the prior issues. Alvina will not disappear, nor will she refuse to allow you to rejoin. However, as you are no longer a part of the covenant the NPCs in the garden will once again attack you on sight.

This method will allow you to rejoin at any time.

Ah ok. Even if I kill someone in the process of trying to get back to Alvina?

Also I should say I have already killed Sif.

No one cares if you kill anyone when you aren't in the covenant. And sif being alive or dead doesn't matter.

Weird since I specifically did the thing Alvina told me not to do . . . huh?

Despite her dialogue (and the entire purpose of the covenant), killing Sif has no impact on your relation with the covenant.

Attacking the NPCs in the garden whilst not a part of the covenant has no effect on whether you can join or not.

Damn, I'm behind on my posting times.

So the best course would be to abandoned the covenant via Oswald . . . do the soul grind trick against them. Rejoin. Then buy all the weapons from the one guy. Then finally abandoned them permanently?

[Shard of Manus]

Sure. Bear in mind you'll have to travel to Blighttown whilst in the covenant in order to purchase items from Shiva.

It might be worth abandoning them via Oswald the second time as well, in case you wish for some easy PvP later on, or to receive the rewards of the covenant.

Or you could just not buy all the weapons. I mean why bother buying a bunch of stuff you'll never use?

I'm a pyromancer, so my heart lies with the Servants of Chaos Covenant. Also I would like to be able to save sunbro.
