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