How to unlock the Clangorous Covenant achievement in DARK SOULS II: Scholar of the First Sin - Definitive Guide
Belfry Luna is accessed through the Lost Bastille. Once you have reached the Servant's Quater bonfire (thanks vSully) there will be a hole and a ladder going down. Drop down and activate the Pharros contraption. This will reveal a hidden wall, go through, open the door, and the Bell Keeper will be sitting on your right as you enter. Talk to him to join the covenant.
Belfry Sol is accessed through the Iron Keep. After defeating/skipping Smelter Demon, continue onwards across a bridge in a circular room (a turtle guy tries/succeeds at breaking the bridge). After this room on your left there is a room. Enter it and active there Pharros contraption. This will reveal a hidden wall. Go up the revealed ladder, and at the top the Bell Keeper will be sitting just before the fog gate. Talk to him to join the covenant.
Note: you do not need to join for the achievement to pop, you must simply reach the decision window (join: yes/no).
PLEASE NOTE, YOU DO NOT NEED TO JOIN A COVENANT TO GET THE ACHIEVEMENT – JUST HAVE THE OPTION TO: Speak to the Bell Keeper either at Belfry Luna (Lost Bastille) or Belfry Sol (Iron Keep) both of which require a Pharros Lockstone to access. For Belfry Luna, go to the bonfire in the Servants Quarters in the Lost Bastille (after Ruin Sentinel fight) then down the ladder in that room. There is a Lockstone contraption in the room at the bottom, use it and hit the glowing face to gain access to Luna and this Covenant. You need to get this covenant to at least Rank 2 in order to acquire a spell.
For this trophy, you need to access either Belfry Luna through a Pharros Lock door in the Lost Bastille below the Servent Quarters bonfire, or the lava room in the Iron Keep to access Belfy Sol through a Pharros Lock door. Once you enter either area, a Bell Keeper will ask you if you want to join the Bell Keeper covenant if you exhaust his dialogue.
The Tower of the Sun is periodically invaded by the Mad Warrior . With these items, the chance of appearance increases significantly (as they say, from 3% to 30%). He appears in the same place - here is the video .
Farming took exactly 1 hour (not counting the preparation in the form of receiving items). The process is simple : after beating the game (no matter), go to the Tower of the Sun bonfire, get up, run to the place where the warrior appears. The first 10-15 times along the road there will be 3 small bell ringers, then they will disappear. Let's see if there is a phantom. Whether you kill or not kill a phantom, you use a bone or a feather ( running back to the fire takes exactly the same amount of time, I’ve timed it - but your hands will rest while loading ). Repeat the process N times. Sometimes you check for the bell ringer at the top of the stairs if you have lost count. At the third rank he will give Invisible Weapon , necessary for platinum.
PS On the wiki there is an “extremely effective scheme” with clearing all mobs in the area 10-15 times and using the Remove Veil miracle to understand whether a phantom has appeared. Please note, this will take another 30-40 minutes , if not more. And only then will you start farming the phantom. I don't think it's worth it.
