How to unlock the Covenant of Ancients achievement in DARK SOULS II: Scholar of the First Sin - Definitive Guide

To get this you must deliver the Petrified Egg to Magerold of Lanafir.

The Petrified Egg is in the Dragon Shrine. From the first bonfire, head up both sets of stairs. Go under the large archway and up the next set of stairs. Then go across the small bridge that goes above said stairs and drop down to the left. Go past the pillars and through the door. There should be a double door then a spiral staircase. Go up the staircase, you may be invaded. At the top there is a room and the Petrified Egg is on a large holder.

Now that you have the Petrified Egg, go back to the Iron Keep (first bonfire), cross the bridge, enter the keep and go right, then stay going forward into a circular room with windows. Magerold is sitting on the floor. Talk to him and he will offer for you to join.

Note: you do not need to join for the achievement to pop, you must simply reach the decision window (join: yes/no).

I have a problem: I gave Petrified Egg to Magerold of Lanafir, I talked to him, I joined... and nothing happened.
I tried rejoin 2 times, as humand and dead. Any idea?

Have you checked on the achievements app to see the state of the achievement (e.g. if it says "done... unlocking", in which case it would unlock eventually). If there is no change to it then I would suggest doing it in a second play though, which should only take you a small amount of time (if you speed run it).

On the achievements app I have 100% unlocked but still it doesn't show. I have even achievement for 100% achievements. ;)

In my game the egg is not on the alter and is not in my inventory. When I talk to Magerold, he does not give me any prompt to join the covenant. The achievement is still locked. Have you heard of this happening? (I started NG+ and am going to see if it is there in this playthrough)

I haven't heard reports of this before now, could be a bug. NG+ is a good call, and a completely new character if NG+ doesn't work.

to get access to this covenant you need to find the petrified dragon egg in the dragon shrine(near the very end of the game). After climbing up some stairs partway through the level there will be a path to your left you can drop down to. Follow this path until an npc invades you, in the same room you will find the egg enshrined.

Now take the egg to to the merchant in the iron keep(1st bonfire, to the right when you enter the keep.)

Trophy unlocked!

PLEASE NOTE, YOU DO NOT NEED TO JOIN A COVENANT TO GET THE ACHIEVEMENT – JUST HAVE THE OPTION TO: You need to get the Petrified Egg from the Dragon Shrine, from the bonfire go up the first two flights of steps until you see a broken path with boxes at the end (on your right at the top of the steps). Break them and drop down onto a hidden ledge with two chests (one a mimic) follow this hidden route up a tall tower where you will be attacked by an NPC invader. Kill him and grab the egg from this room. Then go to the Iron Keep. From the Threshold Bridge Bonfire, go into the keep and immediately go right and find the merchant Magerold. Speak to him with the egg in your possession to join.

For this trophy, you must first obtain the Petrified Dragon Egg from the Dragon Shrine. This is in roughly the same location as Crystal Magic Weapon. You can't miss it as it is quite large and is sat on a pedestal. You need to take the egg to Magerold in the Iron Keep and he will offer the option to join the covenant.

The Dragon Covenant is located in the Iron Citadel, almost at its very beginning. But to enter there you need to give the bespectacled man an egg from the Temple of Dragons.

In the iron citadel, right at the entrance to the castle, go into the corridor to the right, he sits in the hall to which this corridor leads.
to find the egg that the bespectacled man needs, you need to climb the stairs from the fire in the temple of dragons, fighting 1 on 1 with big knights. the dragon guards will not touch you unless you attack them. after you defeat the third big knight, you need to go not through the door, but onto the protruding platform behind one of the dragon guards, from this platform you need to jump down and there will be a passage into the room where another big knight is already guarding the door with a shield, behind it is a room with an egg. in it, a red phantom NPC will invade you. we kill him and take the egg.

Find the Petrified Dragon Egg in the Dragon Temple and give it to Magerold (the merchant in the Iron Citadel). He offers to join.
