How to unlock the Covenant of the Fittest achievement in DARK SOULS II - Definitive Guide

This Achievement is for the Covenant of the Fittest. To join them you must pray in front of the Victor's Stone. This can be found by going straight from the hut where the game begins until you reach Majula. Now head to the left until you see a few buildings. Go past the buildings until you reach a cliff's edge with a path heading up the side. The stone can be found at the end of the cliff.

The Covenant of the Fittest makes the game harder, so think carefully before joining. Keep in mind that you don't actually have to join this group to earn the Achievement. The game will ask you a few times if you're really sure that you want to join this Covenant. The Achievement should pop right before you have to fully commit to it, and which point you can back out if you so choose.

If I join the covenant and then join another one, does the difficulty bump back down? (I hope it does :\)

Yes the difficulty goes back down after leaving that covenant. You have to speak to the cat in the house next to the Victors Stone to abandon your current cov.

You can also abandon your current covenant by joining another, though I don't know if the concept of "sin" applies to this game as it did to the first Dark Souls.

I can't believe there's an option to make the game harder, I'm having a much more difficult time than I did with the first one.

I haven't tried this one out beyond just joining it for the Achievement. You can't summon other players or be summoned by others when you join it, and that takes out half the fun of the game for me.

Here's an easy guide, just follow the video to unlock the achievement. It is located on Majula to your right, begining from the bonfire.

This covenant is located in Majula to the right of the entrance to the Tower of Heide. At the top of the hill is a large stone monument that you can kneel before. There will be multiple confirmations to join this covenant, so this trophy will not unlock until you reach the prompt, "Join the Covenant of Champions?", so don't worry about accidentally joining before you reach that.

When you first reach Majula, head up a small path located to the right of the broken down archway behind the house where the Cat is. At the top of that path there is a statue where you can join the covenant.

PLEASE NOTE, YOU DO NOT NEED TO JOIN A COVENANT TO GET THE ACHIEVEMENT – JUST HAVE THE OPTION TO: Examine the stone tablet in Majula, up the cliff on the far left side (if entering from Things Betwixt). You'll be given the Champion's Tablet. Joining this Covenant WILL make the game much harder for you - it will be as though you are playing NG+ from the off, so be warned.

Once in Majula, simply walk forward and to the right along the cliff (to the right of the estate and the passage to Heid's Flame Tower) and you will come out to a large stone. Pray to him and the trophy is yours. I do not recommend joining this covenant if you are playing for the first time - after joining, all enemies will receive increased health and attack indicators, and a good half of the summoning signs for allied NPC phantoms will disappear.

Answer “Yes” 2 times, and when the game asks: “Do you want to join the covenant?” Answer: "No." After closing the window you should be given a trophy.
