Sunlight Medal Notes

• PVE Farming in general: From the Lothric Castle bonfire, you should immediately see a Lothric Knight walking into the doorway. Striking with a large weapon can usually stagger the knight, or parrying its sword swings can open it up to a riposte. Lightning-infused or lightning-buffed weapons can deal extra damage to it. Regardless, engage it quickly so that the cleric nearby can't buff it. Then turn back to the bonfire to refresh.
• Offline/PvE farming as a sorcerer: One of the fastest methods to farm the Sunlight Medal is at the Lothric Castle bonfire. You need 60 INT, +9 Court Sorcerer's Staff, Magic clutch ring, Young Dragon Ring, Bellowing Dragoncrest Ring, and Soul Stream spell. Note that the staff does not need to be fully upgraded so that, if you decide to re-spec, you do not need to waste a Titanite Slab. To boost item discovery, you can equip Symbol of Avarice (mimic's head), Covetous Gold Serpent Ring, Crystal Sage's Rapier, and Rusted Gold/Rusted Coin. The key is to one-hit two Lothric Knights near the bonfire with Soul Stream. Here are the steps:
  • Start at the FAR END of the bonfire, this prevents the knight near you to walk away as soon you get up from the bonfire.
  • Then, cast Steady Chant and then use Rusted coin before moving away from the bonfire (so that the knight does not start to walk away).
  • Approach the knight and cast Soul Stream. Make sure you align your spell so that it fully hits both knights. This can be done by standing on the steps, and a bit to its right side (when facing the knight) so that you are almost at the edge of the carpet.
  • You can repeat these steps one other time before the effect of Rusted Coin runs out. Meaning this method gets you approximately 4 kills/minute.
• This item has appeared throughout the series, including previously in Dark Souls and Dark Souls 2.
