DARK SOULS II

Let this serve as a guide to complement Nyxil's solution, which this it based on. The spreadsheet is great to get a sense of what you're missing without spoiling locations, but for those who want more detailed instructions on how to acquire anything, this is for you.

If anything is wrong or any vital information is missing, please feel free to comment and I will edit the solution.

Merchants you will need to find for this achievement:

Merchant Hag Melentia - First encountered next to the second bonfire in Forest of Fallen Giants. After you exhaust all her dialogue here, she will move to Majula the next time you leave the area, where she can then be found sitting by the broken wall near the bonfire.

Carhillion of the Fold - Found on the pier before the boss of No-man's Wharf (take a right at the spot where some enemies climb up onto the pier). When you defeat the boss, he moves to Majula. Go up towards the death monument and turn left to find him sitting on the cliff edge here. Note that you will need at least 10 intelligence before he will sell you spells.

Magerold of Lanafir - When you get to the Iron Keep, turn right as soon as you enter and go to the end of the hallway. Magerold sits on the floor here, and never moves from this spot.

Straid of Olaphis - Petrified in a cell in Lost Bastille, up the stairs from the room on the Bastille side of the bridge to Sinner's Rise. He never moves from this location.

Weaponsmith Ornifex - There are three steps to finding her. First, acquire a Fragrant Branch of Yore and use it on the petrified enemy on the other side of a fallen log from the third bonfire in the Shaded Woods. Killing him will give you the Fang Key. Now continue on to the two towers that you pass between to reach the boss of this area, and go past them. Drop down through the hidden hole that leads down to one of the abyss shrines. Explore this underground area and you will find Ornifex's cell. Unlock it and talk to her, and she will give tell you to meet her at her home. Now go to Brightstone Cove Tseldora, to the area where all the undead mages are shooting at you. On the ground level here is a door which leads to Ornifex's home, and she will be inside, ready to sell to you.

Grave Warden Agdayne - In Undead Crypt, shortly after the room with the mages after the first bonfire. When you get near his room, he will warn you to put out any lights you have with you. Do this, or he will turn hostile. As long as you remain in the dark, he will talk and sell things to you.

Royal Sorcerer Navlaan - You will have to complete a questline for Navlaan in Aldia's Keep before he will sell you anything. You must be hollow to talk to him, and he is found by entering the keep, going to the end of the ground floor and following the hallway right. Going left leads to a lever that releases Navlaan from his cell, so don't pull it. He will give you three tasks before giving you the spell. First, he wants Laddersmith Gilligan's ladder miniature. At this point in the game, Gilligan is most likely sitting by the pit in Majula, where you can just talk to him and buy the miniature. Next, he wants the helm of Cale the Cartographer. If you encountered him in Forest of Fallen Giants, he can now be found downstairs in the manor in Majula. To get his helm, all the flames on the his map need to be lit. To achieve this, just light most of the bonfires and kill all the main bosses. If all flames are lit (which also gives you the Curious About Maps achievement), talk to Cale again and he will give you his gear, incuding the helm. Finally, Navlaan wants the staff of Felkin, the Sunset Staff. Felkin, a merchant right before the first bonfire in Huntsman's Copse, will give you the staff if you talk to him with at least 20 intelligence AND 20 faith. Otherwise, you can kill him for the staff (he is required for some hexes though), or find one in Aldia's Keep by killing the mimic outside, behind the shack with the bonfire. He will now ask for an Aged Feather. Talk to the Emerald Herald when she appears at the start of the Dragon Aerie to acquire one, or just kill her for it. After this, Navlaan will give you Unleash Magic and sell you items and spells. Also not that you actually do not lose the items, you merely show them to Navlaan.

Darkdiver Grandahl - The leader of the Pilgrims of Darkness covenant. You'll have to encounter him in three areas (Shaded Woods, Black Gulch, Castle Drangleic) before he will let you join and sell you things.

Hidden Weapon - Reward for reaching Rank 2 in the Bell Keeper Covenant. There are two ways to do this. You can join the covenant in Belfry Luna or Belfry Sol, wear the ring and wait to be summoned, defeat the player and get a win, then repeating this 29 more times. Or, you can do it all by yourself in Belfry Sol. Join the covenant, but don't wear the ring. Climb up from the bonfire, run over to the towers in the back left and look to see if a red phantom wielding two swords has spawned there. If he hasn't, return to the bonfire, rest and try again. He is a somewhat rare spawn, so keep at it. Killing him 30 times and then talking to either bellkeepers will also let you reach rank 2, awarding you this spell.

Repair - Found in Shaded Woods. Right after you go through the Shrine of Winter after getting all the great souls, go down the hill and follow the path to the right to find this on a corpse.

Cast Light - Bought from Straid/Grandahl (3000 soul cost).

Chameleon - Found in Harvest Valley. It's on a corpse in the poison pit with the two big creatures, shortly after the second bonfire of the area.

Unleash Magic - Acquired by completing Navlaan's questline.

I've created a Google Drive checklist for all of the Sorceries, as well as Gestures, Miracles, Pyromancies, and Hexes, telling you where they can be purchased, found, or obtained. Here is the link:

Comment if you find a problem or have some criticism :)

This is just for the Hidden Weapon sorcery since it takes a long time to farm it and this method saved me a lot of time. Some commenters in the wiki (https://darksouls2.wiki.fextralife.com/Bell+Keepers) had a pretty good idea. First level up the Belfy Sol Approach bonfire to level 3 (increases the odds of the red phantom). Then keep killing all enemies in the area until they all stop spawning (the ~5 dwarves, the 5 grey phantoms, the 3 turtles, and ~5 Alonne Knights). Once they're all dead, you can use the Unveil Miracle to check if the red phantom is up there or not from the bonfire.

Now, if he's up there, the miracle will move up just a bit then head almost horizontally towards where he spawns. If he's not there, the miracle will just float up above your head. Now just keep resting at the bonfire then casting Unveil until he shows up. Go up there, kill him, then use a homeward bone/feather to teleport back to the bonfire and repeat. It definitely speeds things up though his spawn rate can be pretty bad, I think I rested at the bonfire more than 10 times in a row to get him to show up.


Despawning all of the enemies:
You can work on killing all of the enemies while also farming the red phantom. Once I finally killed the 5 non-respawning grey phantoms, I would climb the latter, kill the 3 dwarves then check for the phantom. Then climb the second letter, kill the 2 dwarves and go down the stairs back towards the bonfire. I would then drop down two levels and pull the switch to kill the two turtles. I would then quickly run up the stairs and around the platforms stepping on all of the pressure plates to drop the 4 Alonne Knights into the lava. I'd then run over to the back and kill the 3rd turtle before jumping across the lava to kill the last Alonne Knight. Then I'd homeward bone/feather back to the bonfire and repeat.

That last knight is a bit of pain because of the lava. You can save him for last (once all other enemies in the lava room are gone). The droppable platform closest to him allows you to drop down onto the last knight without the need for jumping over the lava.
