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

To get this you must talk to Titchy Gren in Undead Purgatory. You must have a Token of Spite in your possession.

You can find a Token of Spite in the bottom of the pit in Majula, in a chest underneath the wooden floors and ladders. You can also get a Token of Spite by besting a red phantom.

To get to the Undead Purgatory, go from the Bridge Approach bonfire in Huntsman's Copse. Go over the stone bridge then take an immediate right. Go uphill and across a wooden bridge. Continue uphill and through a narrow passage. Be careful as enemies drop down in the passage. At the end of the pass you will come to a long wooden bridge, walk across it and mind the gaps. At the end of the bridge there will be a red phantom with a greatsword. Kill him, or bait an attack and pass through the fog gate.

Defeat the boss (Executioner's Chariot) then go up the stairs just after the lever you pull during the fight. Inside the room will be a bonfire and Titchy Gren (surrounded by candles and blood). Talk to him (with Token of Spite) and he will ask you questions, agree to everything (except the last question - see note) to get the achievement.

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

The Rat King one isn't unlocking for me either. Check your achievements in the app and it may say "Done... unlocking". From what I gather it will eventually unlock (weeks/months) so don't worry too much at the moment.

If it doesn't say "Done... unlocking" then the only thing I can think of is that you haven't done it properly, however based on your comment this is less likely.

I had one achievement that said "Done... unlocking" but it wasn't this one.
Covenant of the Meek unlocked last night, so guess it was that one.

However while I was typing this, I clicked yes for what i believed was the last question, and got one more question. And then achievement popped! Guess it was my own fault ;P

So its yes on 3 questions before joining covenant comes up.

If you are having problems with this not popping, go to the cat in Majula leave covenant and go back to Titchy Gren and rejoin, it popped for me on the join screen.

It won't unlock for me, I got the Token of Spite and get to the "yes/no" but still no achievement.

(Covenant of the Meek won't unlock either)

Anyone else having this problem?

You unlock this by completing the optional boss fight with the Executioners Chariot in Huntsman's Copse. After you have killed him you need to look for the guy stood by the bonfire, he will ask you a series of questions which you have to agree with.

To be able to unlock this trophy you need to have at least on token of spite in your possession. These are obtained by invading and killing other players. There is one in a chest in the game if you don't want to invade people. You need to make your way to the very bottom of the pit in the centre of Majula and just before you reach the Black Gulch area there is a chest containing a token of spite.

Here's a video of the covenant's location.

YOU MUST HAVE AT LEAST ONE TOKEN OF SPITE FOR INVADING OR DEFEATING SOMEONE WHO INVADED YOUR WORLD USING A CRACKED RED EYE ORB!

For this achievement you must join the Sanguinary Covenant. After the Executioner's Chariot boss fight in the Undead Purgatory go up the stairs at the end of the long, curved hallway which is opposite of the door you entered from. When you come to the bonfire, you will notice an NPC. You need speak to that NPC a few times. Answer "Yes" to his questions until it asks you on the screen if you want to join the covenant.

It should also be noted, there are many ways of getting the Token of Spite you need. But invading a world is much easier. Some have reported it dropping from NPC's in the Huntsman's Copse, while others find one in the bottom of the pit in Majula.

However, here is a video for those who should choose that over a text guide:


As well, here is a Google Doc (I did not make it) that some may find useful for keeping track of things. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hbECOaqekNSI1LcIA0wE... If you do like it, I advise you make a copy so that if the author ever deletes it, you still have one.

Enjoy and good luck! If you have any tips please let me know.

For this trophy, you first need to defeat the Executioner's Chariot boss in the Undead Purgatory. You can then find and talk to Titchy Gren at the areas bonfire if you have a Token of Spite in your inventory. You can get one of those by invading and killing another player, or finding one in a chest, right before entering The Gutter.

PLEASE NOTE, YOU DO NOT NEED TO JOIN A COVENANT TO GET THE ACHIEVEMENT – JUST HAVE THE OPTION TO: Speak to Titchy Gren in the Undead Purgatory, available after the Chariot boss fight. You need to have one Token of Spite to join (acquired from a chest at the bottom of the ladders leading to The Gutter or from invading and killing another player via a Cracked Red Orb).

After killing the chariot boss, go a little further and you will come across a dwarf who will start asking about your desire to kill, etc. Just answer all the questions bloodthirsty (yes) and he will invite you to the covenant.

The Sign of Malice is located in front of the entrance to the Garbage, under the scaffolding in a chest.

Join this covenant and buy a ring for 20,000 souls. This will help you if you only play offline and plan to get platinum. With the ring, the Mad Warrior appears more often, which is needed to maximize the Bell Ringers covenant.

The sign of malice can also be obtained by invading someone else's world through a cracked red eye and killing the owner of the world. To invade you need to be human, not hollow. To find out in which location there are people who can be invaded, at the fire when teleporting, the location will be highlighted with an orange frame. Well, this is, of course, provided that you are connected to an online game using a PS+ subscription.
This covenant is also the coolest, because opposite its head there are three statues with which you can fly into the arena and duel with other members of the covenant for free. Even at the moment, November 2018, there is still good online in this arena, and you don’t even have to wait long to find an opponent. For winning a duel they give you a red eye, which allows you to break in even more often.
Just don’t get carried away with the red eye, because for every murder of the owner of the world they give a sin. after 10 sins, dudes from the blue covenant will be able to invade you and break your faces even if you are hollow. after 100 sins, the 50% life drop limit drops, and with each death the bar will drop lower and lower, down to 5%.
You can buy indulgence from the NPC in Bridestone Bay. from the second bonfire you need to go to the gate of the temple in which you killed the wandering magician, and on the left there is a staircase to the attic.

There is a large circular arena in Hunter's Grove. After crossing the bridge there and going inside, you will fight the Executioner's Chariot boss. After killing her, you can go up the steps and talk to Little Grenn. He will offer to join.
