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

This achievement is called "Sanguinary Covenant".

The solution contains as few spoilers as possible but read with caution.









After the Executioner's Chariot boss fight in the Undead Purgatory go up the stairs at the end of the long, curved hallway. The opening is at the end opposite from where you came in.

After going up the stairs you'll come to a room with a bonfire and an NPC. You need speak to that NPC a few times. He'll start asking you if you like blood and so forth. Answer "Yes" to his questions until it asks you on the screen if you want to join the covenant.

You don't actually have to join the covenant to get the achievement. If you wait on the message confirming your decision the achievement will pop. Same thing if you're already in a covenant as well.

Edit: An Aegean Cat brought up a point that I completely forgot about.
You need to have at least one token of spite. You can get one for invading and defeating someone, which you can do by using a cracked red eye orb.


Edit 2: Super Aw3some received his Token of Spite from defeating an invading NPC in Huntsman's Copse.

Edit 3 per Giff the Stiff:

A Token of Spite can also be found: in the bottom of the pit in Majula. However this requires you to purchase Laddersmith Gilligan's most expensive ladder, the Silvercat Ring (unless you have enough HP to survive the falls, doubt it) or a Fall Control spell. (removing items/equipment helps reduce fall damage as well) You'll need to fall down onto the bottom most ledge which leads to a section filled with scaffolding and ladder upon ladder. At the very bottom is a chest containing the Token of Spite. This path leads to The Gutter and allows you to skip the Grave of Saints area; a popular pvp area.

Add that you need to have at least one token of spite. You get one for invading and defeating someone, which you can do by using a cracked red eye orb. The NPC kept on repeating the same thing until I got one. Other than that, great solution!

Just to clarify, it's not the token of spite that triggers the dialogue. You have to have invaded and killed the host of the world to talk to the npc. I had a token of spite I had found, and I couldn't talk to him, but once I used a cracked red eye orb and killed the host, the dialogue triggered.

Perhaps i simply needed a token of spite in my inventory when i talked go him, rather than in my box. It's odd though, because you don't need other items in your inventory to engage dialogue, such as estus shards, sublime bone dust, or the boss souls when trading. They can all just be sitting in your item box

Yeah same thing happened with me with blue sentinels, except i did the same thing as i did brotherhood of blood. I'd already had a token of respite, guy didn't talk to me, went and did one co-op victory, and he talked to me after that.

Undead purgatory is above huntsman's copse, across the long rope bridge. It's where you fight
The covenant is found directly after the boss up a flight of stairs

Just to follow up, I haven't invaded a single world but have the item from my previous comment. It worked.

He'll ask you twice if you want to join. Just keep clicking yes until the achievement pops, then back out. If worse comes to worse you can always talk to the cat in majula

A Token of Spite can also be found:

I can confirm this myself as this is the only Token of Spite I've received.

You have to talk to Titchy Gren to join the Brothers of Blood covenant.

To do that, first you'll need to journey to Huntsmans Copse, then defeat the Chariot boss, after you defeat the boss, around where the gate you pull down to initiate the actual fight is a passageway, follow the passageway and you'll come across a bonfire and Gren.

Gren will only talk to you if you have a token of spite in your inventory, these are easily gotten by invading another players world and killing them, or if you're looking to achieve a completely offline platinum, there's one in a chest when you're on your way to The Gutter, during the section where you're on a rickety looking platform and you have to go from one ladder to another.

You don't have to join the Convenant to receive the Trophy, simply get through his dialogue, as he'll ask you multiple times if you really want to join in vague ways, once you're at the screen where it says "Join the Brotherhood of Blood" wait a couple seconds and the trophy should pop up.

In order to join this covenant, you need to defeat the optional boss in the Undead Purgatory i.e the Executioner's Chariot. From the Undead Lockaway bonfire in Hunstman's Copse make your way through the hidden path and across the large bridge. After you beat the boss you will meet Titchy Gren at the Undead bonfire. In order to join the covenant you will need to have invaded someone in some shape or form. See the video below for how to reach and beat the boss (Credit to WikiGameGuides):

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).

The required NPC is located at the fire in the “Purgatory of the Undead” (you will get to the fire after killing the “Executioner’s Chariot” . To join the covenant you need the Mark of Malice. If you don’t have it, then to get it you need to kill the owner of the world as a phantom. To do this, you need to use a cracked eye or red chalk. Also, the Sign of Malice can be found in the Garbage Garbage location (much easier).

If you don't have the required sign, Shorty Gren simply won't want to talk to you.
To join the covenant, answer “Yes” to all of its questions.

You do not need to join a covenant to receive the trophy. Shorty will ask you 3 questions to which you need to answer YES:
Do you want blood?
Do you want to serve Naar Alma?
Will you join the Brotherhood of Blood?

After this there will be a long monologue and an offer to join the covenant, which you can refuse. Choose any answer and get a trophy.

In the location Purgatory of the Undead, after killing the boss "Executioner's Chariot" go up one floor - a small man in black will stand next to the fire. Talk to him and answer YES to all his questions, then he will accept you into the bloody covenant and the trophy will be yours. The condition for acceptance into the covenant is defeating an enemy phantom, but it does not have to be another living player. By the time you get to this location, you will definitely meet at least 1 red phantom NPC, so the entry requirement can be met without online play.
