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

This is copied over from my solution for the 360 version, but one spell location has been changed (Repair), and the DLC spells have been added to the bottom.

If anything is wrong or any vital information is missing, please feel free to comment and I will edit the solution.

Where to find the DLC keys:
Frozen Flower (Ivory King): Located on a skeleton in Drangleic Castle, in the room after the soul doors with ruin sentinels behind them.
Dragon Talon (Sunken King): Behind a locked door halfway down the Majula pit. You'll need the key from the giants in the Black Gulch. Use Gilligan's longest available ladder for easy access.
Heavy Iron Key (Old Iron King): In the salamander area behind the door just before the Last Giant in Forest of Fallen Giants. The key can be found in the first room of the Iron Keep.

Merchants you will need to find for this achievement:

Merchant Hag Melentia - First encountered next to the second bonfire in Forest of Fallen Giants. After you exhaust all her dialogue here, she will move to Majula the next time you leave the area, where she can then be found sitting by the broken wall near the bonfire.

Carhillion of the Fold - Found on the pier before the boss of No-man's Wharf (take a right at the spot where some enemies climb up onto the pier). When you defeat the boss, he moves to Majula. Go up towards the death monument and turn left to find him sitting on the cliff edge here. Note that you will need at least 10 intelligence before he will sell you spells.

Magerold of Lanafir - When you get to the Iron Keep, turn right as soon as you enter and go to the end of the hallway. Magerold sits on the floor here, and never moves from this spot.

Straid of Olaphis - Petrified in a cell in Lost Bastille, up the stairs from the room on the Bastille side of the bridge to Sinner's Rise. He never moves from this location.

Weaponsmith Ornifex - There are three steps to finding her. First, acquire a Fragrant Branch of Yore and use it on the petrified enemy on the other side of a fallen log from the third bonfire in the Shaded Woods. Killing him will give you the Fang Key. Now continue on to the two towers that you pass between to reach the boss of this area, and go past them. Drop down through the hidden hole that leads down to one of the abyss shrines. Explore this underground area and you will find Ornifex's cell. Unlock it and talk to her, and she will give tell you to meet her at her home. Now go to Brightstone Cove Tseldora, to the area where all the undead mages are shooting at you. On the ground level here is a door which leads to Ornifex's home, and she will be inside, ready to sell to you.

Grave Warden Agdayne - In Undead Crypt, shortly after the room with the mages after the first bonfire. When you get near his room, he will warn you to put out any lights you have with you. Do this, or he will turn hostile. As long as you remain in the dark, he will talk and sell things to you.

Royal Sorcerer Navlaan - You will have to complete a questline for Navlaan in Aldia's Keep before he will sell you anything. You must be hollow to talk to him, and he is found by entering the keep, going to the end of the ground floor and following the hallway right. Going left leads to a lever that releases Navlaan from his cell, so don't pull it. He will give you three tasks before giving you the spell. First, he wants Laddersmith Gilligan's ladder miniature. At this point in the game, Gilligan is most likely sitting by the pit in Majula, where you can just talk to him and buy the miniature. Next, he wants the helm of Cale the Cartographer. If you encountered him in Forest of Fallen Giants, he can now be found downstairs in the manor in Majula. To get his helm, all the flames on the his map need to be lit. To achieve this, just light most of the bonfires and kill all the main bosses. If all flames are lit (which also gives you the Curious About Maps achievement), talk to Cale again and he will give you his gear, incuding the helm. Finally, Navlaan wants the staff of Felkin, the Sunset Staff. Felkin, a merchant right before the first bonfire in Huntsman's Copse, will give you the staff if you talk to him with at least 20 intelligence AND 20 faith. Otherwise, you can kill him for the staff (he is required for some hexes though). He will now ask for an Aged Feather. Talk to the Emerald Herald when she appears at the start of the Dragon Aerie to acquire one, or just kill her for it. After this, Navlaan will give you Unleash Magic and sell you items and spells. Also not that you actually do not lose the items, you merely show them to Navlaan.

Darkdiver Grandahl - The leader of the Pilgrims of Darkness covenant. You'll have to encounter him in three areas (Shaded Woods, Black Gulch, Castle Drangleic) before he will let you join and sell you things.

Now for the actual spells:

Soul Arrow - Bought from Melentia/Carhillion/Magerold (1500 soul cost).

Great Soul Arrow - Bought from Carhillion/Magerold (3000 soul cost).

Heavy Homing Soul Arrow - Acquired by trading the Ruin Sentinel Soul with Straid (1500 soul cost).

Soul Spear - Bought from Agdayne (12,000 soul cost).
Found in Huntsman's Copse. When you cross the bridge with the hollow holding a torch, you'll see a barred up hut on your right. Drop into this hut from the hill above to find the spell on a corpse.

Soul Spear Barrage - Bought from Carhillion (2500 soul cost).

Soul Shower - Acquired by trading the soul of Scorpioness Najka with Straid (1500 soul cost).

Soul Bolt - Found in Drangleic Castle. After defeating the Looking Glass Knight, continue past the elevator ahead and turn left to find a chest with this in it.

Soul Geyser - Found in Aldia's Keep. When you get to the long hallway with cages, take the first door on the left. At the bottom of the stairs inside is a cage with corrosive acid (only harms your gear). On a skeleton in the cage is the spell.

Great Magic Weapon - Reward for reaching Rank 1 in the Company of Champions Covenant. Not recommended.

Strong Magic Shield - Bought from Straid/Navlaan (6300 soul cost).
Found in Castle Drangleic. In the room containing "The Embedded" (where you get the key to King's Passage), this is in a chest on the right side of the room.

Yearn - Bought from Carhillion (3000 soul cost).

Hush - Reward for reaching Rank 2 in Way of the Blue Covenant. Not recommended.
Found in Lost Bastille. It's behind a fake wall directly opposite the door to the stairs in the room where you fight the Ruin Sentinels in Lost Bastille.

Fall Control - Bought from Magerold/Ornifex (4800 soul cost).

Hidden Weapon - Reward for reaching Rank 2 in the Bell Keeper Covenant. There are two ways to do this. You can join the covenant in Belfry Luna or Belfry Sol, wear the ring and wait to be summoned, defeat the player and get a win, then repeating this 29 more times. Or, you can do it all by yourself in Belfry Sol. Join the covenant, but don't wear the ring. Climb up from the bonfire, run over to the towers in the back left and look to see if a red phantom wielding two swords has spawned there. If he hasn't, return to the bonfire, rest and try again. He is a somewhat rare spawn, so keep at it. Killing him 30 times and then talking to either bellkeepers will also let you reach rank 2, awarding you this spell.

Repair - Found in Shaded Woods, Shaded Ruins bonfire. When you come out into the open area, there will be some ruins on the left in plain sight, with a petrified lion dude blocking a chest containing the spell.

Cast Light - Bought from Straid/Grandahl (3000 soul cost).

Chameleon - Found in Harvest Valley. It's on a corpse in the poison pit with the two big creatures, shortly after the second bonfire of the area.

Unleash Magic - Acquired by completing Navlaan's questline.

DLC Spells:

Sunken King:
Focus Souls - Behind some urns just before the bridge that leads into the "pyramid". The bridge that Sinh burns some enemies on the first time you pass through.

Ivory King:
Soul Flash - Early on in the DLC, you'll go indoors and down some stairs. A door right ahead has a hallway blocked off by some junk on an elevator. Continue on through the fairly linear area, past the second bonfire, and you'll eventually end up above the blocked off hallway (it'll be a door on your left, hard to miss). Pull the lever here to raise the elevator, then return to the lower level. The path is open, and the chest beyond it is yours to plunder for the spell.

I was trying to get hidden weapon by myself in offline mode but red phantom isn't appearing for some reason, I tried at least 10 times. Did they move him?

Nope, same spot. Sometimes the spawn luck just isn't on your side. I had the Symbol of Avarice (Ivory King DLC) and Delicate String (buy from Titchy Gren) equipped when I did it, supposedly they raise the spawn rate. Took about 2 hours for the 30 kills.

Not doubting your guide but is Soul Geyser in the same location as before as I've cleared out that room and still no not have that spell..? :(

I believe your description is correct though as I cannot find it listed anywhere else on any Dark Souls 2 SotFS site/wiki. :)

Yes, I am fairly certain I found the spell there. I don't recall any major location changes other than Repair. I believe there are two skeletons with stuff on them in the acid pool, have you looted both?

By Awoo on 14 Apr 2015 16:07
Yeah, have looted everything in there, no worries, I've gotta do at least one new game for some spells I think as I've only ever been summoned once to help a blue guy in distress..! :)

For hidden weapon you can use the unveil miracle to see if the invader is there without going up the ladder and checking. You would have to kill all the enemies in the area near the belfry sol bonfire. I think this is much much faster and easier because you don’t have to worry about enemies.

A second playthrough on NG+ is not required for this achievement. You can use a bonfire ascetic on the Lower Brightstone Cove Bonfire (Brightstone Cove Tseldora) and obtain the Old Paledrake Soul by defeating Freja again. The solution itself is correct, because the bonfire ascetic turns an area into NG+ or beyond difficulty. The flag, however, is wrong, since no multiple playthroughs are required. On a separate note, the Unveil miracle works wonders to obtain the Hidden Weapon sorcery, like the comment above stated.

There was nothing unusual about Navlaan, the lever, or any of his quests for me, can't speak for the PS4 version though. The torches have nothing to do with him, they just summon a Forlorn phantom if you light them.

getting hidden weapon can be really easy if you've got a friend with the name engraved ring and the red soapstone sign.

just have him come on up into belfry sol, use the ring to align your gods so only you can summon him and farm him for 30 quick kills. he counts just like the red npc that spawns.

and if any grey spirits invade, it's easy to trick them into thinking your red friend will help them and then have them surprise attack the grey.

By far the easiest way to farm hidden weapons is to clear out the enemies in the area until they stop respawning. Then you can rest at the bonfire and cast the unveil miracle. If the unveil miracle doesn't move towards the top, rest at the bonfire and cast the unveil miracle again. Repeat this until the unveil miracle moves towards the top and you know when the red phantom spawned. Afterwards you can use the homeward miracle or the feather to return to the bonfire. I farmed all 30 kills in about 2 hours with this method.

I farmed Hidden Weapon from the Ringer covenant offline on the “rarely appearing” Mad Warrior. It’s not written anywhere on the Internet, but I myself figured out the algorithm for its appearance:
Approach the fire, sit down by it 11 times and run to see if the warrior has appeared. If he doesn’t appear, then use the pen to return to the fire (but DO NOT sit down by it), and again run to the Mad Warrior. He appears at 11-16 location reset. As soon as the warrior is killed, we repeat the procedure. I farmed in about 2 hours.

farmed on a crazy warrior, appeared 30 times in an hour with pennies.
on the head was a symbol of greed, a ring of exquisite thread.
I sat by the fire only 3 times before the weapon broke.
everything else - teleported using a pen.
The warrior appeared mainly on the 3rd-5th attempt.

An extremely effective method for detecting the appearance of a Mad Warrior is to use the Remove Shroud miracle. Standing by the stairs near the fire (there is NO NEED to climb the stairs), you need to use a miracle and watch where the “spirit” flies. If towards the stairs, where the warrior appears, he is in your world. If up, there is no warrior. All you have to do is sit down by the fire again and use a miracle for a new test. The “Spirit” flies to the nearest enemy, so to use this method there should not be a single enemy nearby who would be closer to the character than the Mad Warrior himself. The location needs to be completely cleared, not only from above, by killing all the Bell Ringers, but also from below, by killing all the nearby Alonian knights and turtles. Personally, I farmed 30 kills in less than 40 minutes this way, and the location below is cleared very quickly if you push some mobs into the lava using levers (at the same time, you will farm yourself a considerable number of souls)

Here is my method for getting invisible weapons. The game must be online. We put on the ring with an exquisite thread. We sit down by the fire of the sun tower 5 times in a row and go up the stairs. Let's run to see the crazy warrior. If not, then we quickly fall back down, but do not sit down by the fire, but rise to the top again. For falls, I used the careful fall spell. The Phantom appeared most often from the 1st to the 6th race. Times two on 13 for all 30 appearances. When we killed the crazy warrior, we run back to the fire and sit down there 5 times in a row and run around again until he appears. I read on the wiki that if you increase the rank of a covenant gradually, the likelihood of a red phantom appearing is greatly reduced. I mainly used this method at covenant level 1.

Just got the Invisible Weapon. So, there is no scheme or algorithm. Farmed offline on Mad Warrior on NG+. I just walked, if there was no warrior, I go back, sit by the fire and start walking again. After about 20 minutes, it began to seem that this comrade appears only on odd “times” of rebooting the location (attempting to find a pattern; because of this, I skipped even reboots a couple of times ), but this is not true. This is what I ended up with:
1 1 1 _ _ 3 5 3 3 9 9 1 12 1 5 5 3 6 1 5 1 1 3 1 6 9 2 8 6 2.
I didn’t count the fourth and fifth times, so I left gaps. As you can see, it appears more often at odd times, but this is not constant.
By the way, pieces of his set and weapons still rarely fall from him.

Don’t listen to the cruel nonsense that was described above, there are no patterns and there cannot be! The phantom appears completely randomly, BUT there is a way to quickly launch a spell. So: 1) We cut out the entire loca 16 times so that the mods don’t spawn (3 shorties at the entrance, 2 at the exit) 2) We fly to the bonfire Hall of the Steel Hearth and there we cut out everyone in front and in the room with the lift, IMPORTANT in the room and in front of it should not not a single mob left!!! 3) We fly to the fire. Approach to the Tower of the Sun , equip the bell and the miracle Remove the cover , sit in the fire with our backs to the wall to the left of the stairs, everyone from the fire, cast a miracle, if the ball flies vertically upwards, we sit in the fire again and repeat the operation as soon as the ball will describe a semicircle and fly away through the wall to the left of the stairs, crawl to the top and kill the phantom, the option is 100 percent working, it took about 20 minutes to clear 2 locks and about 30 for 30 kills of the phantom. IMHO the simplest, fastest, and most straightforward way to knock out a spell.

The Repair spell has been moved to another location. Dark Forest, the "Dark Ruins" bonfire, we move towards the boss to the destroyed buildings, we need the left ones. There is a chest there, and in front of it is a stone lion. Using a branch from the past, we unfreeze the lion and take the spell.

The trophy requires spells from the DLC.
Crown of the Sunken King:
Focus Souls
Crown of the Ivory King:
Soul Flash
