How to unlock the Covenant: Blade of the Darkmoon achievement in DARK SOULS III - Definitive Guide

In order to earn this achievement, you must talk to Company Captain Yorshka in Anor Londo. You can reach her by taking an invisible path near the Anor Londo bonfire :
You must have the Darkmoon Loyalty gesture in order to be invited to join the covenant. Sirris of the Sunless Realms gives this gesture to you the second time you meet her in Firelink Shrine (after returning the Dreamchaser's Ashes to the Handmaid). She appears initially after meeting Anri and Horace in Crucifixion Woods.

Without the gesture, your only other option is to kill Yorshka, causing her to drop the Blade of the Darkmoon covenant item which will unlock the achievement.

I found this area a while back but could not interact with the woman. Wondering if there is a stat requirement needed. (I have very low faith and intelligence).

Couldn't figure out how to speak to her so I killed her and she dropped the covenant item, unlocking the achievement.

I think joining might have something to do with Sirris and her teaching you the "Darkmoon Loyalty" gesture. I'm not entirely sure though as I didn't learn that gesture until after I killed Yorshka for the covenant item.

Achievement is currently broken. Tried twice by deleting my save file and getting the darkmoon item from her twice, and it won't unlock. Hate hate hate hate decades of Xbox and devs can not make these things work.

The PS4 solution tells you how to get the gesture if you miss it.

The achievement is indeed bugged and the usual methods (power cycle, uninstall/reinstall) didn't worked for me.
Turns out the game rescans for the covenant items when you start a new game cycle, because at that moment i finally got the achievement.
So at least there are chances to get the achievement later if it doesn't unlock when it is supposed to.

This one is pretty simple. From the Anor Londo bonfire(The one before you fight the lord of cinder) Head towards the rotating spiral tower and look to the right for a gap in the tower that looks like it might to connect to something.

It is already in fact connected to an invisible walkway so move forward and dont worry about falling off. Walk towards the bonfire in the distance and from there look to the left to find a lady who is standing. Interact with her to gain access to the covenant.

Bear in mind this may not work if you don't have the Dreamchaser's ashes. To get this item, warp to the old wolf of farron bonfire to see an item hanging from a seemingly unreachable ledge. Exit the room and turn left until you get to an archway shaped illusory wall by the corner and break through it.

Warp back to Firelink and give the ashes to the shrine handmaiden. Then quit out and back in to find Sirrus of the Sunless realms sitting on a ledge near the firekeeper. Exhaust her dialogue and she will give you the Darkmoon Loyalty.

Warp back to the covenant and perform Darkmoon Loyalty to gain access. Hope this helps.

To join you must acquire the sigil for the Blades of the Darkmoon. The Blade of the Darkmoon can be found in Anor Londo. It can be reached by using the pillar switch on the rotating platform to move it to it's top position. After doing so, walk to the bottom of the stairs and cross the invisible path to the bonfire directly in front of you. The invisible path is straight until you are perpendicular to the bonfire, then turns to the right. Note that you need the Darkmoon Loyalty Gesture from Sirris* to join the Covenant.

After walking across the invisible path, you will meet Company Captain Yorshka who is the covenant leader. She will teach you Darkmoon Pledge gesture.

You can join even if you have joined the Rosaria's Fingers covenant.


*This is the steps to get the Sirris' gesture

Warning: If you join the Rosaria's Fingers covernant and offer Rosaria any Pale Tongue, Sirris' questline will end, as you will become her enemy. You may still equip the Rosaria's Fingers and Mound-Makers covenant items and invade at your leisure without ending Sirris' questline. Changing your appearance or reallocating your stat points also does not end her questline. If you want to complete both Sirris' and Leonhard's questlines, you will need to complete Sirris' first.

Always exhaust the dialogues to ensure the storyline continues.

- Light the Halfway Fortress bonfire in Road of Sacrifices.
- Speak with Sirris in Firelink Shrine.
- Obtain the Dreamchaser's Ashes in Farron's Keep near the Old Wolf Of Farron behind an illusory wall, and turn the ashes in to the Shrine Handmaid.
- Speak with Sirris once more in Firelink Shrine, she will offer her co-operation and give you the Darkmoon Loyalty gesture.

Found in Anor Londo.

You need to speak to Sirris in Firelink after you first meet Anri and Horace at the Halfway Keep bonfire. Then grab the Dreamchaser's Ashes from the tower where you find the Old Wolf of Farron - return them to the Handmaid and then Sirris will appear and give you the Darkmoon gesture.

WARNING: If you join Rosaria’s Fingers BEFORE doing this then Sirris will be lost and not help you.

After you’ve crossed the roofs past the Silver Knights (after the Pontiff fight) you’ll head into a building then head left to a lever. Pull this to lower a rotating platform. Head up the stairs and push the lever at the top to rotate it again. Now head back down the stairs and go straight ahead over an invisible bridge, then drop onto the tower to your right as you get to it. Speak to Yorshka and, if you have the gesture from Sirris, she will let you join.

You need to get this Covenant to Rank 2 in order to acquire a unique ring and spell, which requires 30 Proof of a Concord Kept. You can get two naturally: one on a corpse by the Church of Yorshka bonfire and one on a corpse in Anor Londo by the Deacons on the left side. You can also get them by killing other invading phantoms as a member or farming the Silver Knights in Anor Londo. Spawn at the Anor Londo bonfire, run up the stairs, kill the two knights and repeat. The drop rate is roughly one in thirty if you have the Symbol of Avarice, Golden Covetous Serpent Ring and use a Rusted Coin.

This is the eighth and final covenant. To be accepted into the covenant, you need to talk to "Company Captain Yorshka" before talking to "Rosaria" (Rosaria's Fingers covenant). Otherwise, she will not accept you and you will have to kill her. Pick up the ring and thus enter.

By activating it, you will automatically be summoned to the world of the one who was invaded by a red or purple phantom. By killing him you will receive a covenant medal (it doesn’t matter who kills the enemy).

For 10 medals you get a Ring - Darkmoon Ring
For 30 medals you get the Spell - Darkmoon Blade

Here is my grind build for farming signs of loyalty (level 136, first playthrough).







Covenant location: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhYwVw3wGew

Throughout the game you can level up as you please, just later you will need the “Fingers of the Rosary” covenant, in this covenant you can redistribute skill points up to 5 times. Location of the Fingers of the Rosary covenant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4BlaCBwPa8
To redistribute the level, you will need material for leveling up the rank of the "Pale Tongue" covenant, it is farmed as follows https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6lCkIzVIJc WITH 2 KNIGHTS OF DARKNESS, NOT WITH BRAINS! .

For faster farming you will need: Helmet - "Symbol of Greed" , Weapon in the left hand ( can be kept in a sheath ) - "Rapier of the Crystal Spells Expert" , Ring - "Golden Ring of the Greedy Serpent" , and consumable - "Rusty Coin" , Sold by Loskutik . All of these items increase the chance of rare items dropping.

On NG+ and NG++ they give “Ring of the Greedy Serpent” +1 and +2, so you can start farming on NG++ (although, to be honest, I didn’t notice a difference in the percentage of drops with a ring at +2)

This is what your farm will look like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7xFbL6E1JI

Farming will take a very long time and is very tedious, so I still advise you to join this covenant as early as possible and put it in your inventory. Thus, you will be automatically summoned by players from the Azure Path covenant as soon as the red spirit invades them. After defeating which you will receive your sign of loyalty.

You don’t have to wait for ng+, after the eclipse you can just kill her and they’ll also give you a trophy.

the drop of ears falls much more often (with all the necessary items), if you turn off online and select a neutral covenant, for example the sun, for 1 million souls from knights approximately 2 to 8 ears dropped, personally tested) a hawal coin before killing two knights and before killing 3 knights with red eyes! farmed on ng! download luck for farming.

The ghost character Yorshka must hand over the collected certificates of loyalty, she will accept rewards. If Yorshka is killed by you, then there will be no one to hand over the rewards, which means you won’t be able to pump up your reputation either.

I advise you to first fill in all the other covenants and then put this one and just play, they call often + if you go to the payout, then in each playthrough you will find 2 of them just like that, that is, you only need to fill in 24. in one playthrough you will get it calmly without worrying about farming knights

I first entered the fingers of the rosaria, then the blades of the dark moon, perhaps the equipment of the sign in the inventory affects it.
To get to this covenant leader, you need to cross an invisible bridge on a lift on the way to Anor London. To make the process easier, use rainbow pebbles.

you can farm but it takes a long time in 2 hours online, I farmed 17 skulls from knights, what is needed for this: luck 65-70, a ring with a golden snake + 2, a rapier of an expert in crystal enchantments, it is not necessary to kill enough with it for it to hang on your belt, and rusty coins of course

If you farm online, then do not level above 30-35 lvl, since the azure path is one of the very first covenants and, as a rule, beginners set it up, as a result, the largest influx of beginners falls on discounts. If you bought the game at a discount and only for the sake of platinum, then farm with 3 knights in Anor Londo, also from the Pontiff Sulivan bonfire, you can take the elevator and run to the cut in front of the deacons, climb the stairs and meet the same knights, yes There are more of them, but due to the long running around it will take longer to get out, and you will get bored faster. For farming on knights, the leveling was as follows: 60 luck, 45 vitality, 33 stamina, 15 physical. strength, 14 strength, 12 agility, the rest are 10 each (initial knight class). Anri's sword, as he scales with luck. The rapier of an expert in crystal enchantments, as it gives a chance of a drop. Symbol of greed, also a drop chance. A ring with green flowers restores stamina faster. Ring of favor, increases characteristics. Ring with a hornet, increases damage from critical attacks, useful during backstabs. Ring of the Golden Greedy Serpent, drop chance. Any armor, the main thing is that the weight of the equipment worn is not more than 70% of the maximum tolerated. And don't forget about the coins. I scored in 3.5 hours offline and 4.5 in pvp (pvp only).

In order for Yorshka not to be offended by the hero for the Fingers of Rosaria, simply remove the covenant of the Fingers for the duration of the conversation with Yorshka and do not talk to her while being a member of the Fingers. I upgraded Rosaria's Fingers to full strength and at the same time joined the Blades of the Dark Moon without any problems, being in the Sanbro covenant.

My badge farming tactics. Mode - offline. Equipment - a chest on the head, a rapier of a crystal magician and a golden snake ring +1. If within 10 runs not a single ear falls out, go to the main menu and start the game again. As soon as the ear falls out within 10 attempts, we continue to play in this session. If again after 10 visits there is nothing, we exit and enter again. And so on until victory.

I tried to farm not according to this scheme, but simply to the limit. It happened that one icon would appear after about 20 or even 5 attempts, and then there was nothing else, probably for an hour (that’s where my emphasis ended). But it also happened that the ear fell out after the 3rd attempt. I tried further in the same session - it fell out after 10, 6, and so on within the same 10.

I think it all depends not on coins, covenants and other things, but simply on the session. And you don’t have to try within 10 - you can set 20, 15, or 5 passes for yourself. This is more convenient for whom and who has stronger nerves.

Another point - one ear quite often falls out within 10 attempts. You don’t have to try further in the same session, and after getting one ear, immediately restart the game.

For comparison. Without this scheme - when I knocked it all the way - I got 14 ears for several days (I played for 6 hours). And with this scheme I received the remaining 16 in just a day.
