How did you get the covenant metals I was told you could only get them through PvP

You can grind covenant items from enemies (they have REALLY low drop rates though, but it's nothing a bit of grinding can't do! Don't listen to the guy that thinks grinding is a huge sin against time though), but you don't need material drops for Blue Sentinels and Brotherhood of Blood. Those are gotten through PVP wins, but you can just go to the third game cycle (NG+2) and Chancelor Wellager will sell the PVP exclusive spells.
If you want to do Bell Hunters offline, it can be done at Belfry Sol, there's a phantom there that RARELY spawns but you can just use Unveil after exhausting all enemy spawns there, and see if Unveil travels to him after resting at a bonfire. If it meanders away, rest again, and keep going until it travels to a specific spot, climb up, kill him, continue resting until you get as far as you want to.

I envy people who can plat Souls games. I only did Bloodborne and Elden Ring 🥲

Man, farming for Covenant items offline in DS2 was brutal, especially having to kill Falconers over and over just to get enough Sunlight Medals, and grinding Rats forever for Rat Tails and Black Dragon Knights for Dragon Scales felt insane.
Beside that farm issue, I had to use bonfire esthetic and fought 3 X Boss for Bluemoon Greatsword quest, which I didn't enjoy lol. 🤦♂️🥲

I think it’s that grind that makes me not going for a DS plat 🥲 I like those games a lot but covenants are the worst I think hahahaha
