Spears of the Church Fun
Conceptually, this covenant is hilarious. Miyazaki sat down with his development team and decided that it was time to let players invade during a boss fight, and essentially become the boss. I’ve been having so much fun being a little roadblock to players. Well, me and my painting guardian buddy that is. Can you even imagine how people would have reacted if there was a forced pvp boss fight like that in Elden Ring? The casuals would have been in front of Fromsoft’s building, pitchforks in hand.
I bet the covenant activity was a blast when DS3 was at the height of its player activity.
