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

This achievement is gained by talking to Blue Sentinel Targray in the Cathedral of Blue. You must have a token of fidelity.

Token of Fidelity

To obtain a token of fidelity you must defeat a boss whilst as a white phantom in someone's world through the use of a small white soapstone (found upstairs at the Cardinal Tower bonfire) or normal white soapstone (which is obtained by talking to pate in the forest of fallen giants). The best place to put your sign is just before the fog gate of a boss, and clearly visible.

An alternative way to get the token of fidelity is to go to the bridge before the Undead Purgatory, and drop down on to an item (Just before halfway, you can see it shining). Fall on to it and you have your token. Thanks to Vermigs for bringing this up.

Finding the covenant

In Heide's Tower of Flame you can see a giant cathedral (opposite the actual Tower of Flame). Take the left path in the tower where there are three sentinels and follow this. There is a Guardian Dragon which you must kill, it is relatively weak compared to ones you find later in the game. Once it is dead a post with a lever raises from the ground (signified by a special noise, and the sound of it raising). Pull this lever and a bridge will drop.

Enter through the fog gate and fight the boss (Old Dragonslayer). Once defeated, continue out onto a balcony where Blue Sentinel Targray stands, talk to him with a token of fidelity 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).

That is definitely not true. I received it without having to join the covenant.

That's my bad, my Xbox acts funny with achievements sometimes. The first two covenants I had to join. But the others popped with no problem w/o joining.

On the 360 version there was a Token of Fidelity in Huntsman's Copse (you can drop off the bridge leading to Undead Purgatory to get it), can anyone confirm if it's still there or if it's been removed?

I looked when I made the guide, but couldn't find it.

I do recall FightingCowboy still finding it there in his playthrough of SotFS though. I'll take a peak when I get to the Copse, they very well could have changed things up again.

Well, I went back and checked... it was there. Sorry about that; I can't believe I missed it all this time. I added it to the guide with a thanks to you.

It happens. I wouldn't have been surprised if they took it out as part of the changes anyways.

You get this trophy by progressing through Heide's Tower of Flames to the Cathedral of Blue. Instead of turning right to the Dragon Rider boss you need to turn left to the optional boss The Old Dragonslayer. Firstly there is a dragon to kill that wasn't in the original Dark Souls 2, then you need to kill the boss.

After you have killed The Old Dragonslayer move towards the back of the Cathedral of Blue and you'll reach the guy in the video below, there is also a bonfire nearby.

Finally you need at least one "token of fidelity" item in your possession to join the covenant, you get this by putting down your summon sign and successfully killing a boss co-op in someone elses game.


If you're having trouble killing the dragon here's an easy way to do it:

For this trophy, you first need to defeat the Old Dragonslayer boss in Heide's Tower of Flame. This will grant you access to the Cathedral of Blue. Speak to Blue Sentinel Targray with a Token of Fidelity in your inventory to join the Blue Sentinels covenant. You can find a token of fidelity by helping another player defeat a boss, or by dropping down the bridge in Huntsmans Copse on the way to the Undead Purgatory. You should see the item on a rock below where you can drop down to.

The way of the Blue is a covenant accessible after defeating the Old Dragonslayer in the Cathedral of Blue area, which itself is accessed through the Heide's Tower of Flame area. Speak to Blue Sentinel Targray and exhaust his dialogue to be offered the chance to enter the covenant.

PLEASE NOTE, YOU DO NOT NEED TO JOIN A COVENANT TO GET THE ACHIEVEMENT – JUST HAVE THE OPTION TO: Defeat the Old Dragonslayer in the Blue Cathedral (part of Heide's Tower of Flame) then speak to Targray on the balcony here. You must have at least one Token of Fidelity in your inventory to join (can find one on a ledge just below the bridge leading to The Undead Purgatory or by helping other players with the White Soapstone).

To get this achievement you must find the Protector Covenant, AKA Knights of the Blue/Blue Sentinels. The NPC you must talk to is Blue Sentinel Targray.

Targray is found in the Cathedral of Blue. To get there, you must first defeat the Guardian Dragon in Heide's Tower of Flame, after which you can pull a lever to activate the drawbridge for you. Going up the drawbridge you can enter the fog there and fight the Old Dragonslayer. After the fight, move to the balcony on the opposite side of the entrance whence you came, and you'll find Targray standing there. A bonfire is down the stairs to the right, before the balcony.

Blue Sentinel Targray will only invite you into the covenant if you carry a Token of Fidelity in your inventory. The easiest ways of getting one is either helping someone else defeat a boss(using the White Sign Soapstone), or picking up the one right outside the second bonfire in Huntsman's Copse(by dropping down from the bridge above the bonfire).

You can join by talking to the NPC in the location "Cathedral of the Cote d'Azur" (after killing the boss Ancient Dragonslayer). In this case, you must have the Token of Fidelity with you. It can be found in the Hunter's Grove location, the Approach to the Bridge bonfire, lies on the island directly opposite, which can be reached from the place above the bonfire by climbing the stairs.

There is a frail dragon in the Heida Fire Tower location. We kill him, lower the bridge and go to visit our old friend Ornstein from DS1. Luckily, without Smough.

He changed his name, the color of his armor, and traded lightning for darkness, but overall he became much frailer. We knock him down and go to the balcony to see the Blue Guardian Targray. He will send us to hell if we do not have the Sign of Fidelity. You can get this badge for helping another player kill any boss (or find 1 in the Hunter's Grove under the bridge to the Purgatory of the Undead). If there is at least one sign, then Targray will offer to join the covenant.
