How to unlock the Covenant: Gravelord Servant achievement in DARK SOULS: REMASTERED - Definitive Guide
In order to access him, you must enter an open coffin near the bottom of the catacombs in an area with numerous coffins and a Titanite Demon. You must also possess at least one Eye of Death, three of which can be found on a corpse in the same area beyond the Titanite Demon. The coffin in question is down the hallway on the left. Approach it for an option to "nestle into coffin." Do so to get inside it, then wait several seconds for a cutscene to occur, after which you'll appear in a new area. Make your way over to Nito in his sarcophagus and interact with him to open the covenant menu. Then choose "Join Covenant" and the achievement will unlock.
Important! You can only join and rank up in this covenant prior to defeating Gravelord Nito in the Tomb of Giants.
As always, refer to http://darksouls.wikidot.com for specific information relating to items or locations.
The Gravelord Servant covenant is, as the name implies, the covenant from servants of the Gravelord Nito, boss residing in the depths of the Tomb of the Giants. It is only available before you kill him as part of the story progression, obviously.
How to Join:
First of all you must do this before killing the Gravelord and completing the Tomb of the Giants area, as mentioned above.
In the Catacombs area you'll come to a room with a Titanite Demon and many coffins on the walls. One of these will be sticking out and will be half-open. When approached you'll be given the option to enter the coffin. Do so and wait a couple of seconds, you'll be transported to the Gravelord's lair where you can talk to him and join the covenant. To join you'll also need at least one Eye of Death consumable item in your inventory.
The covenant members can use an Eye of Death to set up a sign in three random player worlds that are nearby. These players will get their game difficulty increased and will have to find this sign in their worlds to invade the covenant member and try to kill him and lift the curse. If one of these players die while trying to find the sign half of all his souls will go to the covenant member along with another Eye of Death.
Rewards for Joining/Ranking Up:
Upon joining you are rewarded with the Gravelord Sword and the miracle Gravelord Sword Dance.
To upgrade your rank in this covenant you need to offer Death Eyes consumable items to Gravelord Nito. Whenever you use a Death Eye and it manages to get a player killed the user will get another Death Eye for each player that got killed.
Offline Method:
- You can find 3 Eyes of Death behind the Titanite Demon in the Catacombs.
- There are 3 Eyes of Death to be found near the beginning of the Tomb of the Giants area, to the left of the first giant coffin you pass.
- If you have not killed/engaged Patches the Hyena in a fight when you kill Nito and complete the Tomb of Giants area you will be able to buy another 3 Eyes of Death from him for 3,000 souls a piece. Be wary though that you'll only be able use these Eyes in the next playthrough, since Nito will be dead.
- The Basilisks (curse frogs) found in The Depths and The Great Hollow have a very rare chance of dropping them.
Covenant Ranks:
- Offering 10 Death Eyes upgrades you to rank+1 and rewards you with the miracle Gravelord Greatsword Dance. This is required for the miracles trophy.
- Offering 30 Death Eyes upgrades you to rank+2 but gives no reward.
- Offering 80 Death Eyes upgrades you to rank+3 but gives no reward.
Other Notes:
Killing or attacking Nito will kick you out of the covenant instantly and you'll have to absolve your sins in order to re-join.
You can get Death Eyes in three possible ways: loots around the world, buying up to three of them from Patches (only after you killed Nito and have spared Patches) or by farming the Cursed Frogs in either the Depths or the Great Hollow areas (rare drop).
If you get a Gravelord Sword through online trade before offering 10 Eyes to Nito a glitch can occur where you don't get any rewards for the offer. More info here. (thanks to Tostigroover)
For platinum, we need to get in it the Sword of the Lord of the Grave (given upon entry), the enchantment - Nito's sword dance (given upon entry) and Nito's Great Sword Dance (given when reaching rank 2 - offer 10 eyes of death)
