What is the Victor’s Stone in Dark Souls 2?

The Victor's Stone in Majula can be used by players to get into the Company of Champions, a Covenant that makes the game harder for players. It also allows players to earn Awestones to get rewards from the Covenant. These rewards are available after giving the Victor's Stone a certain number of Awestones. This is everything to know about the Victor's Stone and the Company of Champions.

What is the Company Of Champions?

Kneeling in front of the Victor's Stone in Majula gives players the option of joining the Company of Champions, a covenant suited for those who seek more of a challenge. Joining the Company of Champions disables cooperative play, which includes the summoning of other players and NPCs. It also increases the damage enemies deal to the player, as well as their own damage reduction, HP, and awareness of the player.

What are Awestones?

When entering the Covenant, players will receive the Champion's Tablet so they can view their place on the leaderboards. Awestones will drop from specific enemies and are used to get rewards and increase ranking in the Covenant. These rewards are:

• 10 Awestones - Great Magic Weapon
• 25 Awestones - First Dragon Ring
• 50 Awestones - Vanquisher's Seal

Awestones will drop from a variety of enemies but are most commonly dropped from the larger enemies in each area. The Ogre in the Forest of the Fallen Giants and the Old Knights in Heide's Tower of Flame are two examples. Farming can't be done infinitely, however, as enemies will stop spawning after a while. Using a Bonfire Ascetic can remedy this, as it will turn a bonfire's area into its following New Game Plus cycle.
