Does the petrified egg carry over to NG+ if I don't use it in my first playthrough?

Thanks for the fast reply! I'm in a middle of a Dark Souls 2 Streak and I'm trying to keep em all stringed together! As I've only got 7 achievements left it requires a bit of planning meanwhile!
Anyways, Dragon covenant will/would be tomorrows achievement!
I'll give you a heads (and thumbs) up then! ;)
Thanks again so far!

I'm not entirely sure myself. This thread at GameFAQs seems to confirm that it does: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/693332-dark-souls-ii/68880327

To add on to what Caelith said, the eggs specific location is a bit out of the way of the natural story progression.

When you get to the part with 2 knights, one with a club and one with a sword standing in front of the small door, look around and there will be a arched path leading away from them, follow it and it will take you to a room with another knight, kill him and proceed, you'll climb a flight of stairs, at the top you'll get invaded by a NPC, not particularly difficult but he hit sorta hard, kill the NPC and proceed and the egg will be in a display, walk up and interact and you can pick up, then you can drop back down to the area where you started this way and work your way back to the bonfire.

To access this covenant, you will need access to one of the later areas in the game; The Dragon Shrine. Once in the shrine, fight your way through some of the toughest knights in the game and you will eventually come to a Petrified Egg. Bring this egg with you to The Iron Keep. There is a merchant (Magerold) in the Iron Keep, head right as soon as you enter the keep to find him. Give him the egg and you can join the covenant.

Keep in mind you can also drop the egg into the nest in Things Betwixt to get an item as well, but not if you've given it to Magerold.

You'll have to do some work to get this covenant. It's a 2 part process, first you'll have to get the Petrified Dragon Egg from the Dragon Shrine and then you'll have to bring it to the merchant Magerold at the Iron Keep. Give it to him and then he'll allow you to join the covenant. See the video for a complete walkthrough on how to do it:

PLEASE NOTE, YOU DO NOT NEED TO JOIN A COVENANT TO GET THE ACHIEVEMENT – JUST HAVE THE OPTION TO: You first need to get the Petrified Egg from the Dragon Shrine, from the bonfire there 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.

In the location "Dragon Temple" from the fire behind 1 enemy on the right, go up the stairs and then jump down on the right side. Walk along the corridors and you will find yourself in a room with a red phantom and a huge pedestal. Take the Petrified Egg from the pedestal. Return to the Iron Citadel location for the "Beginning of the Bridge" bonfire. Cross the bridge and, when you enter the fortress, turn right and go all the way - there will be a merchant sitting there. Give him the egg and you will have the opportunity to join this covenant.

The top tip is a bit inaccurate. I'll explain everything in order.

Egg location:

From the bonfire, go up the stairs, kill the first enemy, go up further, kill the second enemy (with a two-handed club), then go up the stairs behind the second enemy and there, in the middle of the climb, you will notice boxes, behind which there is an opening, and at the bottom there are 2 chests( one of which is a mimic (right))

Jump down to the chests, then you will see a passage, and behind it the next passage is guarded by a goner with a huge shield, beat him

Go into the room that he was guarding, go up the long spiral staircase, you will be greeted by a phantom, hit him with a lula

Now you will see a huge egg behind the phantom’s back, grab it!

So, we have the egg!



The location of the merchant to whom we are dragging our treasured egg:

We move to the Iron Citadel location, to the first bonfire.

Holding the egg under our arm, we cross the bridge, deal with 2 knights, enter the room, 2 more knights are waiting for us inside, we force them with steel/arrows/magic of our choice.

We turn right and go forward along the corridor all the way, we enter a round room filled with bloody red light, which is filled with a thin, dirty tradesman, having spoken to him, the first thing he does is begin to “analyze” him. on our egg, asking for it for himself. Well, naturally, we’ll dirty it up for him

So now with this guy with the egg we can join the covenant of the Ancients, hallelujah!!!
