How to unlock the Divine Weapon achievement in Dark Souls - Definitive Guide

Divine Weapon-You will want one of these to keep skeletons dead in the catacombs otherwise they revive themselves,also Faith stat is suppose to influence the damage output of these weapons so it is perfect for a high faith character build.

To create a Divine Weapon from scratch you need to begin with a standard weapon ( one that you can appply pine resin to otherwise it is unique and will not work ), Some divine weapons can be found throughout the game this will save you some materials in the ascension process and souls.

First off you will need to find the Divine Ember which is located in the Darkroot Forest (See first vid below for location Credit to Marce1024 for the vid) and give this item to Andre of Astora,This allows you to create a Divine Weapon.Then you will require the Large Divine Ember which is located in the Tomb of Giants ( See second vid below for location and credit to B4O4S4) this you also give to Andre of Astora, this ember allows you to finish upgrading the Divine weapon from +5 to +10 finally netting you the achievement.


In order to complete the Divine weapon you will ultimately require 9 Titanite shards , 10 Large Green Titanite shards , 9 Chunks of White Titanite and 1 White Titanite Slab

White Titanite Chunks - Kill the smaller skeleton towers in the pit that Patches kicks you in at the tomb of the giants but they have a low drop rate , The best spot for farming all chunks is the end of the game at the Kiln of the First Flame , all the Black knights there are respawnable and have a 100% chunk drop rate.

White Titanite Slab - In the room where Pinwheel servants were just before the boss in the Tomb of the Giants.(see vid below)

Here is a Chart which was created by an unknown so credit to whoever they are.

When farming it is best to have the Gold Covetous Serpant Ring equipped and 30 humanity for a maximum drop rate of 410.

TRICK-To get the achievement without using your items simply fully upgrade the item in one shot and wait until the achievement pops WITHOUT leaving the upgrade window thus not allowing the game to save the data then simply turn off the game and turn back on.

Noting that pine resin detects unique weapons is a damn fine piece of advice.

I can varify that you CAN quit out to the dashboard after getting the achievement if you don't back out the menus first. Which means you only need one slab, even if you're going for both Divine and Occult achievement. Same works for all the other weapons, like Fire/Chaos, Magic/Enchanted, etc. Saves you a LOT of painful hours of grinding.

Grinding ? There's no grinding involved with any of the slabs considering 3 of them are one time drop per game, meaning you can't grind any of them...

I think what he means by grinding is replaying the game, which is a grind if all you're doing is going for these achievements and nothing else.

Like Cincaid suggested, you can use to reduce the trick above to reduce amount of farming you'll have to do throughout the game. It's the easiest (if not the only!) way to get all the weapon enhancement achievements in a single playthrough of the game. The game WILL save any ascensions to the weapon, but not the further enhancements, so long as you quit out to the dashboard as soon as the achievement message fades. When you reload, you'll have retained any materials since the most recent time the weapon was ascended, and you'll keep the extra Titanite materials that you'd "spent", so you can spend those on other weapons later!

Does upgrading the Silver Knight Spear unlock this achievement?
I know the weapon does holy damage and keeps the skeletons in the Catacombs from resurrecting, but I'm not sure that it counts as "divine".

@Ronin I'm pretty sure it will not, You will know right away if you have the ability to upgrade it using divine....The best way to tell if a weapon is of the affinity your looking for (IE divine, Chaos , Enchanted .etc.) it should have a small symbol of the ascension in the lower right of the weapon thumbnail pic.(<---hope that made sense)

I don't recall the Silver Knight Spear doing holy damage, however Astora's Straight Sword does inflict holy damage.

Either way, they both require Twinkling Titanite to upgrade, so I don't know if this is the best option even if they count towards the achievements. Also, the achievement requires a +10 Divine weapon and both of these are limited to +5 upgrades.

If it uses twinking titanite it would not qualify for the achievement , as Xelliz1 says

Can someone help me please

I upgraded a light crossbow to be a divine weapon - I can't remember how and got it up to +5

Now it has disappeared from the upgrade list of weapons?

This game is so confusing but I'm really enjoying it

If anybody is looking for a weapon recommendation, you can downgrade the Occult Club. This will give you a Divine Club +5. You can then modify it to +6 then reinforce it to +10.

If you have a Slab you can reuse this anytime for the 2 weapons required.

On the final upgrade you will be using a Slab. Upgrade it to its final form and dont press or exit the pop-up message (+9 to +10 weapon upgraded message) and wait for the Achivement. Go to dashboard once you get it, then upgrade the other weapon that requires the Slab to get the other acheivement. You can dashboard again on the second if you want to save the slabs for a future weapon. Weapons will retain its +4/+9/+14 status if you dashboard.

To acquire this trophy you will have to upgrade a weapon through divine reinforcement up to the maximum amount possible, which is a +10 divine weapon.

The only blacksmith capable of completing this job is blacksmith Andrei of Astoria in the Undead Parish, near the church, you will need to give him both the Divine Ember and the Large Divine Ember. You must give him a +5 weapon and the Divine Ember in order for him to reinforce it with divine capabilities.

Weapon from +0 to +5 = 9x Titanite Shards required
~~ Divine Ember and Andrei of Astoria required ~~
Weapon from +5 to Divine +5 = 10x Green Titanite Shards required
~~ Large Divine Ember and Andrei of Astoria required ~~
Weapon from Divine +5 to Divine +9 = 7x White Titanite Chunks required
Weapon from Divine +9 to Divine +10 = 1x White Titanite Slab required
