Sunlight Medal | Dark Souls 2 Wiki

Anyone want to help farm?

So can I use other people as phantoms, and still get the sunlight medal, if either me or they are in the heir to the sun covenant? Or I need to be in the covenant and to be summoned?

I am farming these medals with summoning, anybody needs assistance with bosses? SM: 3.6M

When I was farming these...The 30th medal took me an hour. Pure Misery.

farming these makes the concords in ds3 look like a cakewalk, imo

Best way to farm these is start up ng+ with all your soul boosting gear and farm the 4 falconers. It's the most efficient way, at least on the orignal version of ds2

Submit

also farmed at the Royal Army Campsite. what I learned:
-other falconers can drop them too, not just the one looking at the campfire
-rusted coins help A TON, I ran out of them towards the last 3 coins and those took noticeably longer to get
-it did not take 100 hours, more like 6-8. I went from 0 to 300k souls farming them (w/o soul buffs)
-in my opinion using ascetic to increase drop chances is only worth it if you still oneshot them otherwise dont bother. you can test it out in the shaded woods and see where your dmg is at. that farming location sucks btw dont use it

Im grinding bosses with ascetics, at old iron king now, anybody wanna help just grind bosses for the medals? Soul level is over 5 million lv 201, PSN choko_unltd100

IF YOURE GOING TO FSRM THIS, KILL ONLY THE FALCONER LOOKING AT THE BURNING CORPSES.
it really does seem like it's the only one that drops medals, might be confirmation bias but at least aggroing her, killing her and resting at the bonfire is easier and faster than running in and killing everyone

are the notes even up to date anymore? anyway, anyone looking for help from a sunbro in sotfs Xbox? I'd rather die than farm falconers

Okay so here we go. This comment is primarily for those who play melee builds only. (Skip to next paragraph, if you aren't willing to read this). As all who try to complete every single achievement so do I set out. And after all easy stuff, this came up. This is not like Bell Keepers covenant which can be easily done by just killing Mad Warrior NPC invader 30 times in Belfry Sol. To devote fully in Heirs of the Sun covenant you can choose two different approaches, let's call them easy and hard approach; I already assume you know which one is which. However, I find to be summoned a lot harder due to how coop works in Dark Souls 2. I really don't like it. I tried to be summoned in the Forest of Fallen Giants with around 39k souls, because of how busy that area is, and after 20 minutes no one summoned me. I got bored of it and tried farming method.
I read many texts and comments regarding farming Sunlight Medal and made my own way of getting them. So let me first tell my build. I was wearing Symbol of Avarice (which can be got in the Crown of the Ivory King dlc), Prisoner's Tatters (which can be dropped by Hollows in various locations), Mad Warrior Gauntlets +4, Drakeblood leggings +10. The rings I had on me were Ring of Blades +1, Life Ring +3, Ring of Steel Protection +2 and Covetous Gold Serpent Ring +2 (which is dropped by Belfry Gargoyles only on NG+ and beyond). My weapon was Raw Fume Ultra Greatsword +5 and shield Watchdragon Parma. Note that only Symbol of Avarice, Prisoner's Tatters, Covetous Gold Serpent Ring +2 and Watchdragon Parma boost discovery rate, that is 100 + 15 + 100 + 50 = 265 dr. I also used bonfire ascetic once, meaning I had 415 dr. You can use Rusted Coins for boosting dr, but don't waste your time farming them. I was playing on NG+ and you have to be NG+, either that or use bonfire ascetic. You also need to be in Company of Champions covenant so enemies won't stop respawning. The place where I chose to farm was Royal Army Campsite. There were also other farming locations, but this one proved to be the best. I read somewhere that the only Falconer that drops Sunlight Medal is the one facing the burning pile of corpses and from my experience I'd say that is a fact, because no other Falconer had ever dropped me a Sunlight Medal.
The question rises, since the drop rate is extremely low for all the things that Falconer may drop and especially for Sunlight Medal, how can one farm in the fastest way possible with this build and get all 30 Sunlight Medals in less than a day. Here's what you are going to do. First kill both of those two boars and they won't respawn, along the way you will get rid of that wooden carriage that blocks your path, it won't respawn too when you rest at bonfire. After that rest on bonfire, get up, start going to that Falconer, but do not sprint, because he will hear you, then lock on him and now you just need to backstab him. In order not to miss backstab, you are going to watch the floor. As you are nearing him, you will see the group of rocks and you are going to specifically watch the far left rock that is the closest to you. The moment your right foot comes in line with the bottom of the rock, click left mouse button to execute backstab. You may sometimes backstab a bit late too, if you step to deep, and sometimes you will miss backstab completely, however you can kill him in three hits. Backstab one shots him and then you can go back to the bonfire and rest. The only threat here is the Falconer that is in front of the tent on the right and will attack you 90% of the time. For some reason, Falconer can hit you while backstab animation is playing, but he cannot kill even if his three-hits-combo is played out successfully. Therefore, I advise not to take loot if you lost much of HP, because you will risk dying to the Falconer and to another Falconer that is coming back to his starting position after patrolling (you will miss this Falconer completely if you execute everything on time). Loot won't disappear after resting at bonfire unless you die so be careful.
To show you how fast I was, I did a test. It took me ~11.6 seconds for the first kill, ~10.38 seconds of the second and ~10.9 seconds for the third kill making it roughly 10.96 seconds wasted per kill, meaning you will kill about 5 Falconers per minute. One interesting fact is that at one point Falconer stopped dropping armor pieces and dropped only Sunlight Medals instead. So my conclusion is that your loot will, later on, be guaranteed Sunlight Medal. I would also add one theory of mine which has to be further tested in order to be proven to be either correct or wrong. Discovery rate may increase if you had previously died. I repeat, this has yet to be proven to be either correct or wrong, so I leave this for someone else who has will to experiment.
In the end I would like to say how many hours I spent farming Sunlight Medals. It was around 3 hours of non-stop farming. Very short time for such a rare drop indeed. It was fun researching about another thing of Dark Souls and I enjoyed doing it, even though I lost around 220k souls near the end of farming :). For those who did all achievements for Dark Souls 3, I can surely say this does not beat farming those two Silver Knights at Anor Londo for Proof of Concord Kept. That was way worse :D.
If you stayed with me until the very end, I thank you kindly and I hope you learned something new.
May God bless you all.

If your soul memory is around 1.5-2 million you can farm the Looking Glass Knight and get these in a day or two, just slap on the agape ring to stop from gaining soul memory. For higher soul memory levels the Fume Knight is a solid option.

Submit

If everyone can try to bump their soul memory up to the highest tier asap, we could all go back to seeing each others summon signs again and I can go home.

Wait... home. Where is home? What am I doing again? 5! I've got FIVE sunlight medals! Only 25 more and I can go home.

Drop rates on Falconers is atrocious. It should take around 100 hours of non-stop farming on average to get your 30 medals. And that's with full farming equipment and killing them in one hit.
The problem is that they have VERY low item drop rates, only 1 out of 10 drops SOMETHING (again, with maximum item find stat), then that something itself has yet an other VERY low chance of being a medal among an abnormally big loot pool that contains a full set of equipment. Those 1% drop rates in gacha games have better odds.
You'll be better off dropping your sign somewhere and doing something else until you get summoned, it will surely take more than a hundred hours but at least you will not have to spend all that time "playing" the game. And yes, I'm mad.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to search for people to play with, it's really the only way.

Submit

On PC, getting online is far easier than offline, in 2023 at least. In the "endgame", a good place is Elana in the Sunken King DLC. Got summoned every 10-15 minutes on a saturday, and the boss is really easy with 2 humans player, so success rate is high.

Put your sign down, grab a book, and you'll get your medals in one good afternoon.

Strategy for farming these in later NG cycles (tried at NG+2)

Equip Staff of Wisdom+5 on the right hand and Watchdragon Parma on the left
Respec. to maximum Intelligence, 13 Attunement (need two slots), and 10 Strength (for Watchdragon Parma)
Attune Crystal Soul Spear
Wear Symbol of Avarice and Prisoner's Tatters
Wear these rings: Magic Clutch Ring, Clear Bluestone Ring+2, Covetous Gold Serpent Ring+2; last ring can be anything (Ring of Knowledge if needed, Northern Ritual Band if needed, Covetous Silver Serpent Ring+2 for more souls)
Light the Royal Army Campsite bonfire in Brightstone Cove Tseldora
Join the Covenant of Champions
Equip the Rusted Coin

Farming: Warp to the bonfire mentioned above and destroy the cart just in front of it. Run up to where the cart was destroyed. Use the equipped Rusted Coin; watch a clock to time when you need to use the next one (they last for five minutes, so do not use another one until six minutes pass on your clock if it is in hh:mm format). Target the Falconer staring at the big fire in the middle, and cast CSS on him. This should one-shot him (Falconers are weak to magic but resist all other elemental types; not sure if this fails for higher bonfire intensities, but you can also use Unleash Magic to help one-shot him if needed as it lasts between rests). If an item drops, run up and grab it, and then run back to the bonfire to rest (it is technically faster not to pick up the item until a bunch of drops occur, but this is prone to error if you travel or close the game by accident). Otherwise, just run back to the bonfire to rest. When you get up, walk for a split-second before running to avoid pivoting to make each repetition slightly faster.

I got 15 or so in approximately 1.5 hours at bonfire intensity 3. Note that, after a lot of other drops, as with all Falconers, he will only drop Sunlight Medals, so you will see less drops but the same frequency of Sunlight Medals once this happens. The drop comes out after 3/4 of a second or so, so you can run back to the bonfire almost immediately after one-shotting him if you don't see a drop.

Submit

after extensive testing on dark souls 2 on ps3 on the most recent patch, with dark caitha's chime +10, and great resonant soul, and int/fth both at 45, and joined CoC, you can 1 shot the falconers at things betwixt only up to bonfire intensity 3. at 4, they require 2 shots.

leaving CoC you can one shot them up to bonfire intensity 5. at 6 they require 2 shots. for the sake of argument i respecc'ed to 65fth/65int and it was still requiring 2 shots, at both level 3/coc and level 6/no covenant, which really hinders the farm because at 2 shots i feel more comfortable killing the red phantoms vs using yearn and running, so that makes the farm exponentially more time consuming.

for ps4 i got the plat by doing coop, but since the ps3 community is so small now, i'm having to resort to offline farming.

Submit

So while killing bosses counts, doesn't running out of time with host alive also count as duty fulfilled? If so, farming with small stone could be an option, maybe in the hell room with all the sentinels.

Got all 30 medals in Ng+4 Royal Army Camp (through bonfire ascetics) in around an hour using Crystal Soul Spears to take down the 2 close Falconeers on loop (with Watchdragon Parma, Symbol of Avarice and Gold Serpent Ring +2 and occasional use of rusted coins). For the Falconeer inside the tent, you can check if it dropped anything through the small opening in the tent. Be careful when getting the loot cause at that New game the Falconeers pack quite a punch. I used CSS cause it's faster than normal SS but both of them two shot falconeers with 51 int (spiced CSS down a bit) and Staff of Wisdom +5

After trying almost all page/comment suggestions out there i found the absolute BEST way. Stand right next to royal army camp bonfire and 1 shot snipe falconer standing by the fire pit. If he doesnt drop, rest and repeat using covenant of champions for infinite spawns.

Fire pit dude ONLY drops medals, so you don't have to waste time on armor drops. If you're a tank build like me (weak magic) and already made 1 hit kills hard using bonfire ascetics, aim headshots with the upgraded, dark infused sanctum crossbow special. Thing hits like a truck, has a huge hit box if you're aim is off, and the special doesnt even use ammo!

Can kill him 6 times/min if fast, for 5k souls. Went from netting 1 medal every 10-20 mins to 4-5 in the same span. Easily saved me probably 2 hours vs all other methods.

From my personal experience, (being a DEX build) I would undoubtedly recommend the farming route at Fire Keepers' Dwelling, Things Betwixt. After testing out multiple other strategies such as, the Royal Army Campsite and The Mines, I was ready to throw in the towel because of how tedious and unbelievable frustrating these methods were for a melee build.

Here are the in-depth details for the farming route that I used, if you are interested: Keep in mind that you have to be in a new game+ cycle (or above) for the enemies to spawn. Start by traveling to the only bonfire in Things Betwixt. Remember to equip all the various pieces of gear that boost item discovery i.e. Symbol of Avarice/Jester's Cap, Prisoner's Tatters and the best version of the Covetous Gold Serpent Ring that you have. From there, run towards the place where you originally spawn when starting a new game (through the Witches' hut and across the tiny bridge). Kill the two red phantom enemies as they will chase you down quite diligently if you elect to ignore them. Before you start attacking the first falconer soldier, use a rusted coin to further increase item discovery (lasts for a total of 5 minutes). Kill the 4 falconers and test your luck. After killing them, run back to the bonfire, rest and repeat the process. To save time and rusted coins, I found that you have time to kill all the falconers soilders 4 times before the effects of the rusted coin wear off. You may be able to get more mileage out of the rusted coin if you are able to complete the route very quickly. 4 kill cycles before reusing a rusted coin seemed quite comfortable for me while going at a relatively quick pace. Furthermore, you can use a homeward bone/aged feather after killing the falconers on the cycle before you use the next rusted coin. This will save you one run back.

If you are a melee build like me who is struggling with the many top suggested methods on youtube, then I encourage you to try this particular strategy out. I believe it'll both save you some time and your sanity. Hope someone out there found this informative/helpful.

The easiest way to farm is: go to Brightstone Cove Tseldora, break the carriage and kill the 1st 3 falconners, then walk back to the bonfire. If you just walk to the bonfire after the kills, the carriage will not reset.

Using flynn, ring of blades and +5 magic ice rapier (magic deals more damage with r2), you can one shot if you r2 at point blank even with no int or weapon enchant. They get vulnerable after the combo or run attack.

Used SL120 dex build with 3 int.

Don't forget to be member of the Covenant of Champions, so they don't stop respawning.

I think I find it more easier to farm these at Shaded Woods at the bonfire Ruined Fork Road. I think its best to farm these medals when you get around end game. The equipment I wear is:
Jester's Cap(50 discovery) OR Symbol of Avarice (100 discovery) (SOTFS)
Prisoner's Tatters: 15
Watchdragon Parma: 50
Covetous Gold Serpent Ring+2: 100 ( used Bonfire Ascetic at Belfry Luna Bonfire so the Gargoyle drops the +2 version of the ring)

Im also in ,Company of Champions so, no need for bonfire ascetic+ I find it more consistent to farm here rather than Harvest Valley.

So stupid i can't just buy that miracle, those medals don't drop at all i used serpent ring+2 with jester hat and coins, dumb achievments...argh

This item is a giant middle finger to anyone who isn't playing online (which is impossible on PC now anyway). Thanks to DS2s horrible "diminishing returns" loot system and respawning mechanics, it's near impossible to get these in any appreciable quanity.

Ds 2 is poorly made that they made a covenant for you to farm medal while helping through coop , but the souls memory destroys this game, making worst than ds 3

This made me cry because i missed the covenant and i was at such a high level already....

The best way to farm them is 100% in Royal Army Campsite. Use all item discovery gear and coins if you have them (only worth farming them with asetics), join COC. From the bonfire go to the wall, lock on the falconeer in front of the burning pile, one shot him with any ranged attack (i used Great Ligtning spear), then walk back to the bonfire, if you don't see an item sit down and repeat, the fastest Kills per minute method by far.
(Try to use a chime/catalyst with good casting speed)

I’ve platinumed all souls games PS4-forward, so I decided the next thing to do was to plat all the PS3 versions. Oh boy, what a long road ahead.

Killed about 300 banediggers at the second earthen peak bonfire for 8 medals, no symbol of avarice. Took about 3 hours. I feel like this is a worse grind than farming ears on DS3. I got 2 in the first ten kills and then they reeeeeeally started dropping far apart.

SM is pretty high (almost at lvl 200), haven’t gone into NG until I know I have every spell I can get before then, but it’s worth a shot. Anyone wanna summon each other? even 2 medals will go a long way. PSN: deciduoustree

My strat in original DS2 (dex rapier build):

What you need to take from NG
- Jester's Cap
- Watchdragon Parma shield
- Prisoner's Tatters
- Gold Serpent Ring +1
- Good stock of Rusted Coins
- Aged Feather
- Ring of Binding (or some human effigies)

1. Go to NG+.
2. Run straight to Company of Champions in Majula avoiding bonfires and join them.
3. Feather back to Things Betwixt.
4. Kill the Falconers starting with the closest one on the left-back.
5. Reset the area with the Feather and repeat.

For me it's the fastest and simplest way to farm those in original DS2, it takes around 3 hours to get 30 medals with this strat.

I did the run with this gear and rosted coins for 26 of the 30 medalsI needed to farm. I did the run on NG+ on PC SOTFS edition. It took me about 2 h so it was rather quick. gl everyone.

- Prisoner's Tatters

For those grinding offline;
Go to the royal camp bonfire, break the cart next to the bonfire and kill the falconer looking at the mound of corpses. killing him aggros the falconer to the right and then standing on the left side of the mound will trigger the one farther ahead near the pigs to chase you. Just kill these 3 and then reset at the bonfire. I used the mimic head, watchdragon parma, gold serpent's +1, and rusted coins from time to time.
I was able to one-shot the falconers with a great fireball, although I was a late game character. It took about 3 hours of grinding to get all 30, but it progressively got better/i got luckier over time
it seemed near the end I was getting medals fairly regularly.
If you are attempting this, Good Luck and dont go hollow!

Okay so I just spent 8 hours straight killing smealter deamon 30 times as a phantom. Why did I choose the smealter deamon? Because I'm retarded. Somehow I still enjoyed the grind and this was probably the best time i have had on any souls game. Also my first time really trying the multiplayer side of these games. Good luck and if you have never tried helping others as a phantom like me, I definitely suggest you try it. It was fun and really rewarding to get help people.

VoodooTank here.

I tested out farming for these on in the original DS2 on PS3.
Gear:
- Symbol of Avarice
- Prisoner's Tatters
- Watchdragon Parma shield
- Gold Serpent Ring +2

I used 8 Bonfire Ascetics and ran the complete farm out from Bonfire level 2 to 9.
At each use of a Bonfire Ascetic I only used 5 Rusted Coins as provided in the area NG+ (Lvl2) and up.
That makes 7 of the 12 runs without coin use and only the gear boost.

These were my Sunlight Medal drops per Bonfire level run:
Lvl2 - 3
Lvl3 - 3
Lvl4 - 3
Lvl5 - 5
Lvl6 - 6
Lvl7 - 4
Lvl8 - 3
Lvl9 - 6

Total: 33

I believe it is safe to assume by this that using the above gear and method you can get at least 3 medals per run.
My advice is to use the above gear, make sure you have at least 10 Bonfire Ascetics and as a bonus remember to grab the Effigy after each use of the Bonfire Ascetic.

And... yes... get yourself ready as mentioned in a previous post for 4-5 hours. This is easy... but just takes very long.

Submit

If you're like me and don't want to wait for NG+ to farm these offline, I put this together.

SotFS edition (Xbox One)
Join Covenant of Champions
Special gear: Symbol of Avarice, Watchdragon Parma, Covetous Gold Serpent Ring +1, Agape Ring (prevents inflating your Soul Memory)
Go to Harvest Valley 2nd bonfire
Around the corner are two Banediggers in the gas filled pit. As a sorcerer I used two Soul Spears each.
Reset at bonfire.

I did occasionally use a Rusted Coin, but I didn't want to have to farm these, too.

The results:
840 kills
60 Smooth & Silky Stones
25 Sunlight Medals (I already had 5)
420 runs
45 seconds per run

I streamed Netflix on my PC while doing this.

Original DS2 Offline

Got 30 medals after killing around 670 falconers in Things Betwixt (NG+). Took probably around 4-5 hours.

Equipment:
-Symbol of Avarice
-Prisoner's Tatters
-Gold Serpent Ring +2
-Watchdragon Parma shield
-Rusted coin

Few thins to note:
You dont need to hold the shield, as long as its on your back you get the bonus item discovery.
I cast yearn to not deal with red phantoms on the way to falconers, it saved a lot of time.

My own personal favorite place to farm these is the final boss arena. Throne Watcher / Defende or Naashandra. For one, it keeps it interesting. You never know which boss you'll be fighting (though it's usually watcher/defender). For two, there will always be players challenging the final bosses, even at the highest soul memory. And even at the highest soul memory, people will still want help with the two-on-one boss fights. Admittedly, the biggest drawback to this farming spot is the run to get there. But if you can tolerate that, this might be the spot for you.

An excellent boss farming location in SoTFS PC version is the Ivory King fight. I was constantly summoned at a SM of 3.5 mil. People seems to struggle with this boss into higher SM brackets as well. You also don't run the risk of being summoned for anything else, as the bonfire exclusively serves the Ivory King arena. Some hosts don't have all of the Eleum Loyce knights which makes the fight much harder. I'd consider leaving those hosts and waiting for one that has at least 3 knights.

Good method for farming betwixt is in a fresh new game +, don't go to a bonfire, just use your aged feather to return to the games first spawn point after killing the four that are there. After 20 rounds of this there were no longer any drops that weren't a Sunlight Medal so If I saw a drop it was a given I had made progress +1 sunlight medal.

Me and a friend farmed 30 of these in under 2 hours. If you’re willing to do it, then use a bonfire escetic at the second bonfire in forest of the giants. This will revive the last giant and persist boss. Kill both on your world while in the sunlight covenant then in your friends. This will net a quick 4 medals because the bosses are both rather easy with two people, even at ng+7. Rinse and repeat. Much easier than trying to farm falconers.

Another possible downside to leaving your summon sign at King's Gate is you can get summoned by a player so poor that they die 5 times to Nashandra despite you + Benhart assisting them + diverting her attention away from them 75% of the time, Nashandra only attacked the guy probably 10-12 times over all 5 fights and unfortunately with the lack of people playing this game they was the only person I was getting summoned to. I'm not one to question anyone's skills when it comes to DS but I genuinely have no idea how that person has even made it to Nashandra if they can't figure out a boss as simple as her.

30 of these is probably the most grindy thing in the game now if you want 100% achievements, on XB1 I've only met 1 person over 2 full playthroughs and that was while I was farming Mad Warrior for the Bell Keepers in Belfry Sol, also I'm not too convinced by raising your item discovery helping with the Falconers, it's still very random when they drop and my best run was on my way to Drangleic Castle when I had no item discovery boosting gear on and wasn't even intending to get them (2 of the 5 dropped one).

I don't see this mentioned anywhere but in offline mode I was getting guaranteed Sunlight Medal drops from falconers in Shaded Woods. Considering how hard it was to farm them in online mode, I highly doubt this is a coincidence. I don't know if there are prerequisites for this to happen but I had the game cleared and SM tier 37.

For those struggling to get the Sunlight Medals on SOTFS there is a method to farm it fairly quick wich you can get 10 medals in 10 minutes. First of all you need to get equipment that boost your item discovery without this the process take ages, try to get the equipments with the bigggest boosts available the best setup to farm it would be Symbol of Avarice + Prisioner's Tatters + Covetous Silver Serpent Ring +2 + Watchdragon Parma + Rusted Coins, The next step is to join the Covenant Company of Champions doing that will make enemies to respwan wich we need for this method , In the last step you need to headover to the 1st Bonfire on Brighstone Cove Tseldora wich is called the "Royal Camp" and this is the place where we farm it the Falconer Soldiers drop the sunlight medals that we want.

For all those needing these i found it way easier to leave your sign on the first bonfire at drangelic castle. At 4.5m soul memory i kept getting summoned consistently and in just 3 hours managed to farm the 30 i needed. The offline farming was awful for me, spending hours just to get 2. The only downside is that people might summon you to do the double Pursuer, or you might get invaded (which is solved by burning an effigy). Just leave your sign, and minimize the game, when you stop hearing the music it means a loading screen appeard, so you have been summoned.
