How to unlock the Covenant: Path of the Dragon achievement in DARK SOULS: REMASTERED - Definitive Guide
Start by heading down to the swampy part of Blighttown in the area opposite the cave that leads to Quelaag's Domain. You'll find a ramp that leads up and into a seemingly dead end opening in a large tree. There are actually two illusory walls along this path that you can move through to reach an area called the Great Hollow. Carefully descend to the bottom to reach Ash Lake. Follow the linear path to the end and you can interact with the Stone Dragon to open the covenant menu. Choose "Join Covenant" and the achievement will unlock.
While you're here, be sure to cut off the Stone Dragon's tail to receive the Dragon Greatsword, which is needed for the Knight's Honor achievement.
I also only suggest coming here after you get the Lordvessel so you can warp out. Climbing out of the Great Hollow is annoying.
As always, refer to http://darksouls.wikidot.com for specific information relating to items or locations.
The Path of the Dragon covenant can be one of the first ones to be joined in the game if you have the master key but you can also skip it entirely, since it is in an optional area of the game.
How to Join:
To join this covenant you simply need to talk to the Everlasting Stone Dragon, who is located at the Ash Lake. To get there you need to enter the Great Hollow area which is accessible through the big branch-like path in the swamp area of Blightown. Once inside the Great Hollow go all the way to the bottom of it and through the fog door to get to the Lake and find the dragon.
Rewards for Joining/Ranking Up:
Upon joining you'll be rewarded with the Everlasting Dragon Eye and a Dragon Head Stone. By using the Everlasting Dragon Eye you'll make a dragon-like summon sign appear in another player's world who have in their possession a Dragon Scale item. That player can then touch the sign and summon you to invade their world and duel with them. Whoever wins gets a Dragon Scale. You can rank up inside the covenant by offering Dragon Scales.
Offline Method:
- You can find one in a chest in Blightown, in a chest in the sewer-like area.
- You can find one near the bottom of the very first elevator of Anor Londo.
- You can trade one Egg Vermifuge for a scale with Snuggly the Crow in Undead Asylum.
- By defeating each of the two Undead Dragons and two Hydras of the game you'll also be rewarded with these scales. Additionally near where the Hydra is in Ash Lake there is three extra scales to be found.
- Lastly the Drakes in the Valley of Drakes can drop very rarely a scale.
Covenant Ranks:
- Offering 10 Dragon Scales upgrade you to rank+1 but gives no reward.
- Offering 30 Dragon Scales upgrade you to rank+2 and you are rewarded with the Dragon Torso Stone.
- Offering 80 Dragon Scales upgrade you to rank+3 but gives no reward.
Other Notes:
Upon using the Dragon Head Stone without wearing any helmet your head will be replaced with a dragon's head and you'll not be able to wear helmets anymore, however every time you use the Dragon Head Stone again you'll breathe fire which power will be determined by the player's covenant level.
Upon using the Dragon Torso Stone without wearing any torso gear your torso will be replaced by a dargon's torso and you'll not be able to wear armor anymore. Apart from increased unarmed damage the player will emmit a shockwave power every time the Dragon Torso Stone is used again.
Both of the effects above are nullified upon death.
