Overview: (2)

Learn about the Blue Sentinels covenant in Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin, how they protect the Way of the Blue, and use Cracked Blue Eye Orbs.

The Blue Sentinels covenant's primary role is to protect the weak. By equipping the Guardian's Seal (a ring), members can be summoned to the worlds of players belonging to the Way of the Blue when those players are being invaded. While summoned as a Blue phantom, Sentinels cannot attack or interact with regular enemies in the host's world; their sole objective is to defeat the invader and punish them. Upon being summoned, a red eye indicator will appear floating above the Sentinel's head, guiding them directly to the invader, regardless of their location. After successfully defeating the host's invader, the Sentinel will be rewarded with 1 Token of Fidelity. It is important to note that Sentinels do not need to wear the Guardian's Seal to invade worlds of sinners or to initiate a duel match.

To be summoned as a Blue Sentinel to protect Way of the Blue members, you must be human. While soul level might play a role in summonings, Soul Memory appears to be the primary factor, with summons occurring across various areas and yielding between 2300 to 44000 souls for defeating an invader.

The Blue Sentinels are unique in their ability to use Cracked Blue Eye Orbs. These orbs allow Blue phantoms to invade the worlds of players who have become sinners or wretches. To use these orbs, you must be human. A player becomes a sinner after accumulating 10 points of sin, which can be earned by invading and killing other players online or by killing NPCs. A player becomes a wretch after accumulating 100 points of sin. When a Blue phantom defeats a sinner or a wretch using a Cracked Blue Eye Orb, they will lose 1 point of sin. While invading with a Cracked Blue Eye Orb, Blue phantoms are unable to use healing items such as the Estus Flask (a healing item that restores health), but they can heal themselves using spells.
