I think Im gonna give up trying to Platinum trophy this game since it's so hard to find PvP for all those medals that are required (Sunshine and Darkmoon covenants). :( I don't have much time until Skyrim comes out either.

I had a very easy time getting sun medals.

So far I have collected 27 and I am at the end of NG+.

I helped a lot of people kill the Iron Golem, Ornstein and Smough, Priciellia and four kings in my first playthrough. ( drop sign for  iron golem right before boss, for Ornstein and co at last bondfire, for Painted world of Aramis at first bondfire, for 4 kings, right before boss.)

I actually ranked twice to level 1 in the Sunlight warrior covenant and I am holding like 7 medals now and didn't do any co-op in NG+ except a few attempts to get help at 4 kings).

Dakrmoon was a little harder until I found the perfect spot.

I dropped my blue sign in the painted world of Aramis around level 70 and got like 10 summons in 1h20...

I won most fights too, ( I am faith build so if a fight went too bad I cheesed out with Warath of Gods spam..).

 

If you can't get summoned you can actually farm the drops too.

The harpies in Painted world of Aramis drops the souvenir of reprisal, so basically I would drop my blue sign to invade and if it failed I would kill the 4 harpies in Annex , warp back to bondifre, rinse and repeat.

 

Almost got my platinum here. Still have to beat Gwyn in NG+ and then kill Sif in NG++ and rush to Anor Londo for the Giant Smith to forge my last 2 weapons...

Gwyn isn't easy but at least he isn't harder than in normal game, unlike Four Kings who got such a huge boost..
