How to unlock the Covenant: Darkwraith achievement in DARK SOULS: REMASTERED - Definitive Guide

The NPC for this covenant is Darkstalker Kaathe.

External image

He can be encountered in the Abyss after defeating the Four Kings, but he will only appear there if you have the Lordvessel and you have not spoken to Kingseeker Frampt in Firelink Shrine after acquiring it. So after acquiring the Lordvessel, you must prioritize defeating the Four Kings as the other three bosses are not accessible until the Lordvessel is placed on the Firelink Altar.

With these conditions met, Kathe will appear in the Abyss near the bonfire after defeating the Four Kings. Talk to him and answer "yes" when asked (DO NOT ACCIDENTALLY SAY NO) and he will take you to the Firelink Altar. Interact with the altar to place the Lordvessel, then talk to Kaathe again to be taken back to the Abyss. Talk to him one last time to access the covenant menu, then choose "Join Covenant" to unlock the achievement.

As always, refer to http://darksouls.wikidot.com for specific information relating to items or locations.

I wonder if any player that didn't played the 360 version before (like myself) managed to walk past Framp without talking to him, of course before defeating the Four Kings, unlocking the achievement in their first playtrough laughlaugh

Also worth mentioning, if you don't want to fully side with Kaathe (which sends Frampt away for the rest of the playthrough):
* Sit at the Abyss bonfire before talking to him the first time
* Once he takes you to the Firelink Altar, don't place the Lordvessel. Instead, use a Homeward Bone to warp back to the Abyss bonfire
* Talk to him a second time to join the covenant / get the achievement
* You can now warp to Frampt / Firelink Shrine to place the Lordvessel through him

My achievement doesn't pop up neither. I have tried to restart my console and change covenants and also creating a new character just to see if by any chance it pop up, and nothing. I really don't want to do another ng+

whipli - Try a console power cycle. If it doesnt work, switch to a different covenant, power cycle again, switch back to Darkwraith Covenant and if it still doesnt unlock power cycle again and hopefully that will work. If it doesnt you may have to try on a new save file.

I've had to power cycle after every achievement in DS1, it's the only way they work for me for what ever reason. Dark souls achievements and the xbox dont mix well

Darkwraith is the truly evil covenant of the game and its main focus is on invading another player's worlds and killing them to acquire humanity.

How to Join:

WARNING: After obtaining the Lord Vessel, don't talk to Framp in the Fire link shire. Instead, go to New Londor and defeat the 4 Kings. If you place the Lord Vessel, you will void the trophy and need to do it again on NG+

To join you need to speak to the big Primordial Serpent NPC Darkstalker Kaathe. It looks just like Frampt who appears in Firelink Shrine however this one wishes to engulf the world in darkness. It is located in the Abyss and appears as soon as you defeat The Four Kings boss fight if you have met the requirements.

  • First of all you'll need the Covenant of Artorias ring, which is your reward for beating the boss Great Gray Wolf Sif and allows you to access the Abyss.
  • If you still haven't acquired the Lordvessel: Go to New Londo Ruins and find the NPC Ingward. Kill him and take the key to the seal, release it and reach the Abyss entrance. After killing the Four Kings just speak to the serpent Kaathe and join the covenant.
  • If you have already acquired the Lordvessel: Do NOT speak to the Primordial Serpent Frampt (in a hole in Firelink Shrine). Go to New Londo Ruins and speak to the NPC Ingward. He gives you the key to the seal, use it to release it and reach the Abyss entrance. After killing the Four Kings just speak to the serpent Kaathe and join the covenant.
  • You can speak to Frampt all you want before acquiring the Lordvessel.

Rewards for Joining/Ranking Up:
Upon joining you'll receive the weapon/shield Dark Hand and will also be able to purchase Cracked Red Eye Orbs with Kaathe. To upgrade your rank in this covenant you need to offer a sacrifice of (banked) humanities to the Primordial Serpent Kaathe.

Covenant Ranks:

  • Offering 10 humanities upgrades you to rank+1 and gives you the Red Eye Orb, which allows you to invade other people games indefinitely as long as you are still in the covenant.
  • Offering 30 humanities upgrades you to rank+2 and you are rewarded with the Dark Sword and the Dark Armor Set. These are NOT needed for the weapons trophy
  • Offering 85 humanities upgrades you to rank+3 and the Dark Hand secondary attack drains more humanity. This is NOT needed for the weapons trophy

Other Notes:
The Dark Hand's secondary attack is used to drain humanity from human enemies or NPCs when equipped in the right hand and works as a black-hole type of shield when equipped in the left hand.

The Covenant is located in the Abyss location (after killing the boss 4 Kings). To join, we need to complete a mini-quest, and for this, we need to get the Chalice in Anor Londo and under no circumstances put the chalice on the altar), having gone into the Abyss (having already killed the Great Wolf Sif), put on the ring of the Abyss, jump to boss, we kill him - we light the chalice together with Kaas and enter into a covenant.

The most important thing not said is that you need to completely ignore Frump throughout the entire playthrough. If you don’t plan to feed him anything, then he’s not really needed.

You don’t have to light the cup if you don’t want to spoil your relationship with Frampt. After killing the boss - four kings, rest by the fire, approach Kaas and move to the altar, do not place the cup, but use the return bone or simply die. Having been reborn at the fire, we approach Kaas and join the order, in which we receive the weapon necessary for the trophy - the Dark Hand. Thus, Frampt is not offended by you and you can place the cup with him.
