This ending requires some specific interaction with a few NPCs. These are the steps that I followed. Be sure to exhaust all dialogue whenever talking with an NPC.
1) Talk to Yoel of Londor when you first reach the Undead Settlement and say "yes" so he will relocate to Firelink Shrine.
2) "Draw out your true power" (level up) five times with Yoel. The first level up is available as soon as he gets to Firelink Shrine. After that, you must die twice before he offers to give you another free level. I suggest suiciding off the nearest cliff and getting your five free levels immediately. Leveling up with Yoel gives you Dark Sigils, which cause you to turn hollow when you die (causing a change in physical appearance- nothing else). The Firekeeper can cure the Dark Sigil if you return a Firekeeper Soul to her, but this breaks the questline and voids this achievement, so don't do it. After leveling up five times through Yoel, he will die and Yuria of Londor will appear.
NOTE: Yoel will die when you enter the Catacombs of Carthus after killing the Abyss Watchers so be sure to get your five levels before that.
3) Talk to Yuria in Firelink Shrine.
4) Talk to Anri and Horus at the Halfway Keep bonfire in the Road of Sacrifices.
5) Defeat the Deacons of the Deep in the Cathedral of the Deep (I summoned Anri and Horace, not sure if it matters).
6) Talk to Anri and Horus in Firelink Shrine.
7) Talk to Anri in the Catacombs of Carthus. From the Abyss Watchers bonfire, enter the catacombs, head across a long bridge and enter the next room, turn right and drop down to a lower level, then head to the back/left area and go through a passage and you'll find her.
8) Talk to Anri at his/her next location in the Catacombs of Carthus. From the Catacombs of Carthus bonfire, head left and then through a hallway just off to the right (you had to lower a gate from the other side to be able to get through) and you'll see a large wooden bridge. Take a path on the right just before the bridge and you'll see Anri at the end.
9) Drop down from where Anri is to a platform that leads to the far side of the bridge. Attack the supports so the bridge collapses, then use the broken bridge as a ladder and climb down. Work your way to the Smouldering Lake area below. Follow along the right side wall in the open lake area where you get pelted with large projectiles and you'll enter a cave with a room at the end where you'll find Horace, who is aggressive to you. Kill him.
10) Talk to Anri again next to the bridge. Choose "Tell about the Smouldering Lake."
11) Talk to Anri at the Church of Yorshka bonfire in Ithiryll of the Boreal Valley.
NOTE: There are some human statues in the corner of this area and one of them is a pilgrim enemy in disguise. If you attack the statues, you can kill it (and receive the Chameleon sorcery). DO NOT DO THIS or it will end the questline and void the achievement. This pilgrim kidnaps Anri to advance the questline.
12) Defeat Pontiff Sulyvhan in Ithiryll of the Boreal Valley.
13) Return to Firelink shrine and talk to Yuria. She will tell you that your spouse is ready.
14) Go to the Darkmoon Tomb (located behind a illusory wall in a room right before you reach the twisting/rising platform that you use to reach Anor Londo) and talk to the pilgrim there. You'll receive a quest-related item.
15) Interact with Anri on the altar.
16) Talk to Yuria in Firelink Shrine.
17) Proceed through the rest of the game. Upon defeating the final boss, simply interact with the bonfire to trigger this ending.
Remember that if you return the Firekeeper Soul from the top of the locked tower in Firelink shrine to the Firekeeper, she will offer to cure the Dark Sigil. DO NOT DO HAVE HER DO THIS or Yuria will become angry and leave and you won't be able to get the achievement. After completing the game and getting the achievement, feel free to have the Firekeeper cure you (which will happen automatically when you start the next playthrough).

This is the most long winded ending and you need to follow a few steps to get this done.
MOST IMPORTANT: if you return the Fire Keepers Soul from the locked tower behind Firelink Shrine then DO NOT choose to heal the Dark Sign at any time until this is done. Do not miss a step, as if you skip a location the quest will fail if you proceed the game.
1) When you first reach the Undead Settlement go down the stairs and go back on yourself at the bottom. At the end of the bridge will be a number of dead pilgrims and one that is still alive. Talk to Yoel of Londor here and he will relocate to Firelink.
2) At Firelink Yoel is down the long tunnel to the left of Andre. Speak to him and he offers to draw out your true power – which seems like a free level up. You need to do this five times, with the first being free and the rest requiring two deaths (by any means) each time. Feel free to kill yourself repeatedly here until you have done five levels and he will comment on your true power if you select the option again. Leave and come back to Firelink and he will be dead, but Yuria will be standing close by (she sells all the items he offered, so don’t worry about missing them). Talk to her until she repeats herself.
3) As you make your way through the Road of Sacrifices you’ll come to the Halfway Keep bonfire and two Knights nearby. Talk to Anri and Horace until they repeat (and gain a covenant item).
4) DO NOT FIGHT PAST THE ABYSS WATCHERS YET. Make your way to the Cathedral of the Deep (past the Crystal Sage fight) and kill the Deacons of the Deep boss. You can summon Anri and Horace to help. After the fight port back to Firelink and Anri will be there – talk to him/her.
5) Now defeat the Abyss Watchers and enter the Catacombs of Carthus. As you enter, cross the long bridge and then go right, head down here and follow the path to the left to find her again. Speak to her until she repeats.
6) Progress through the Catacombs until you come to a room with a rickety wooden bridge (there is a skeleton swordsman with his back to you on a cliff edge just below it) but DO NOT CROSS IT. Instead take the narrow path to the right just before it and follow it around to Anri. Speak to her again here.
7) Now drop down from where she is standing and head towards the bridge, hit the supports to make it collapse, then interact with it to climb down to the Smouldering Lake. Fight past the demon in the first room (arrows from afar to be safe and the chest here is a mimic), then past the two floors of skeletons to reach the Lake proper. Watch out for the giant ballista here. Hug the right hand wall and follow it around to an opening, inside are two Crystal Lizards to kill and then you’ll find a hostile Horace. Kill him then return to Anri by the bridge and tell her you saw him.
8) Continue to Ithiryll of the Boreal Valley and you’ll come to the Church of Yorska bonfire. Anri is here so speak to them again (and receive a gesture for doing so) but DO NOT attack the statues on the left side of the door as you enter. One is a hidden pilgrim and killing them here voids the quest.
9) Defeat Pontiff Sulyvhan in Ithiryll of the Boreal Valley then return to Firelink and talk to Yuria, she will mention that a pilgrim has been guiding your spouse and will eventually repeat herself.
10) Warp back to the Pontiff bonfire and head outside. Go left and fight through the deacons, giants and NPC enemies here (take out the deacons on the top level first by going under the bridge and up the stairs). Now go past the giants and up the stairs into the building ahead. Up the stairs in here and out the left side to a ledge you can drop down to. Watch out for the greatbow knights and make your way up and across the ledge to a door on the right. Inside here is the path to Anor Londo but, assuming you did everything correctly, the big wall on the right will disappear as you enter. Head down to find the pilgrim again and speak to them to receive an item.
11) Head past him down a corridor and use the item on Anri. Grab the ring from the chest in here and the spell from the fresh corpse of the pilgrim. Then head to Anor Londo. Light the bonfire and warp back to Firelink to speak to Yuria.
12) Go through the rest of the game as normal but DO NOT heal the Darksign with the Fire Keeper. After killing the last boss touch the bonfire to get this alternate ending. Note that you keep your hollowed status on future playthroughs so you might want to cure yourself at some point after getting this ending to ensure you don’t get it again.

To gain access to this ending you need to do a number of actions during the passage:
1. Meet “Yoel of Londor” in the “Village of the Undead” (the first bonfire, where there are many people praying) . After talking with her, she goes to the Temple.
2. Continue playing and periodically come back to raise her level. You need to do this 5 times. To raise her level, she needs “Dark Sigil” marks; you can get them by dying 2 times in a row without restoring with ashes.
ATTENTION!
It is impossible to be healed by the Guardian! Otherwise , "Yuria of Londor" will not appear in the Temple.
You cannot heal after she appears until the very end of the game, otherwise she will disappear!
3. After 5 level increases , "Yoel of Londor" dies, and "Yuria of Londor" appears instead. Levels must be raised 5 times BEFORE defeating the boss "Guardians of the Abyss"
4. Near the fire "Halfway to the Fortress" location "Road of Sacrifices" we meet "Anri of Astora". We talk to her. At the same time, we enter into a covenant.
5. After killing the Deacons of the Depths boss, Anri appears in the Temple. We talk to her again.
6. After killing the boss "Guardians of the Abyss" , we go down to the Catacombs and find her and talk to her 2 times (the first time in the right room before going down the large stairs, the second time before the boss "Volnir"). The second time she will give the task to go down and kill “Horace”. Do this before you kill "Volnir".
7. After killing, return to her and talk.
8. Next, she will appear in the location “Yorshki Church” near the fire (location after the fight with the skeleton in bracelets). We talk to her again.
9. After you defeat "Pontiff" go to the "Fire Temple" and talk to "Yuria of Londor".
10. We find the “Darkmoon Tomb” location behind the ghostly wall (round room, after the Pontiff and the knights on the roof). We talk to the maid and take “Sword of a Vow” from her.
11. We go to the tomb and begin the ritual.
12. Finish the game.
ps - ANRI character can be either male or female. The character's gender will be opposite to yours.
