Dark Souls 2 Trophy & Achievement Tips
| Name | PS3 | Xbox 360 | Basic Description | Detailed Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| This is Dark Souls | Bronze | 10G | Die for the first time | Rest assured, you'll get this Achievement/Trophy hundreds of times in the course of a normal playthrough! Try to die near a Bonfire if you are just trying to get the Achievement/Trophy so you can quickly retrieve your Souls. |
| Selfless Giver | Gold | 50G | Max-out devotion to covenant. | I know this is easy if you are playing online but it is also possible to obtain this if you are playing offline, Either by the covenant Way of the Blue or Pilgrims of Dark . You can join Way of the Blue very early in game and max ranking up in this covenant is possible by killing 30 scripted NPC invader. There's more scripted NPC invade in the game. For Pilgrims of Dark is much easier. Just finish the 3 extra stages and beat the boss Darklurker. Then you talk again to the covenant master it will max out. Thus obtaining this trophy. |
| Smith for Life | Silver | 30G | Inherit Steady Hand McDuff's equipment | After finding the Dull Ember in the Iron Keep, give it to Steady Hand McDuff in the Lost Bastille to gain access to his shop menu. Once you've spent a total of at least 14,000 Souls for his various services (Edit: 'Various services' is incorrect. It was only after I infused with him using at least 12,000 Souls that he provided the item and achievement.), select the talk option in his menu. He will give you an item as thanks and you will unlock the Achievement/Trophy. SoFtS- Same as listed above but Dull Ember can now be found in a chest at the 5th listed bonfire in the Lost Bastille, you will need to defeat the Pursuer in Forest of Fallen Giants and examine the bird's nest after the fight. |
| Garrulous Miser | Silver | 30G | Inherit Laddersmith Gilligan's equipment | After you've met Laddersmith Gilligan at Earthen Peak and spoken to him so he moves to Majula, visit him there. Pay him to set his most expensive ladder down. Once you've done this, select the talk option from his menu to receive a reward and unlock the Achievement/Trophy. In addition if you did not talk to him during your playthrough, he will appear in Majula after you defeat the final boss at which point you can also pay for his largest ladder earning the trophy. |
| Change of Clothes | Silver | 30G | Give Rosabeth of Melfia something to wear | After you've un-petrified Rosabeth of Melfia near the door at the entrance to the Shaded Woods, speak to her again. Eventually, she will ask a favor; a donation of clothes. Give her some of your old equipment that you don't need any more and you'll unlock this Achievement/Trophy after you do. |
| Gathering of Exiles | Silver | 30G | Increase the population of Majula | As you progress through the game, you'll meet numerous friendly characters on the way that will eventually move to Majula to offer their services to you, if you meet certain conditions. Find and exhaust dialogue with the following NPCs to get the trophy:
|
| Reflections on Disembodiment | Silver | 30G | Inherit equipment from the Head of Vengarl | Once you've found the Head of Vengarl in a clearing in the Shaded Woods, exhaust all of his dialogue options. Once you get access to his menu, be sure to learn his Gesture, but also keep selecting the talk option. Do it repeatedly until he thanks you for your time and give you Vengarl's Helm, which will also unlock this Achievement/Trophy. |
| Curious Map | Silver | 30G | Light all flames on the map in Majula | In the mansion in Majula, there is a certain map. Once you have met Cartographer Cale in the Forest of Fallen Giants and have acquired the House Key from him, enter the mansion and head to the basement. There, you'll find the map. When you first go to it, if you haven't defeated any bosses, you won't see anything special. However, as you complete certain key events in the game and light certain Bonfires, a corresponding fire will appear on the map. In order to unlock the Achievement/Trophy, you'll have to complete the 8 events listed in the table below this one, as well as light the correct Bonfire related to that event. Once you have, speak to Cartographer Cale in the basement next to the map. Go through his dialogue repeatedly until he gives you his equipment, which will unlock the Achievement/Trophy. |
| Vendrick | Silver | 50G | Defeat Vendrick | Deep in the Undead Crypt lies the former king Vendrick. While you don't need to defeat him to proceed with the game, you will need to for this Achievement/Trophy. He is a deadly foe, but the battle will go much easier if you first retrieve the Soul of a Giant items. For ever one you retrieve from the different Memories you can access, Vendrick's defense will lower. Since you need the Ashen Mist Heart item to access Memories, it is recommended that you don't attempt this until just before the end of the game. |
| Lucatiel | Silver | 30G | Inherit equipment Lucatiel of Mirrah | You will encounter Lucatiel of Mirrah in numerous locations throughout Drangleic. In order to get her to bestow her equipment upon you, you will have to meet her in each of these locations and activate each of her Summon Signs, ensuring she does not die and defeating a boss while doing so. You must also ensure you defeat these bosses with her before exhausting her storyline, which ends at Aldia's Keep. Bonfire ascetics can be used to respawn these bosses if you defeated them without Lucatiel, but they cannot be used to "reset" her storyline. The four bosses that Lucatiel can be summoned for are:
Only three of these four bosses are required for the achievement/trophy. |
| Holder of the Fort | Silver | 30G | Inherit Captain Drummond's equipment | You'll find Captain Drummond in the Memory of Vammar, which can be accessed via the withered tree in courtyard area of the Forest of Fallen Giants after you have the ashen Mist Heart. Go through all his dialogue options, then head to the Memory of Jeigh and take on the Giant Lord. After defeating the Giant Lord (you do not have to summon Drummond before the battle if you don't wish), go back into the Memory of Vammar. Speak to him again and he will give you a Drangleic Helm, which will also unlock the Achievement/Trophy. |
| Moonlight Greatsword | Silver | 30G | Inherit Benhart of Jugo's equipment | You will encounter Benhart of Jugo, first in Majula, just before the entrance to the Shaded Woods. After freeing Rosabeth of Melfia, speak to him again. You will then encounter him and his Summon Sign in numerous other locations; if you summon him and defeat three bosses while he is with you without him dying, he will bestow his equipment upon you the next time you speak to him. He is available for the Prowling Magus battle, Looking Glass Knight battle, Giant Lord battle, and finally you receive his equipment from him in the Memory of Orro. He's also avaliable at the Throne Defender and Throne Watcher battle but it's unclear if it counts toward the three necessary victories. |
| The Dark Soul | Platinum | 50G | Acquire all Trophies/Earn all Achievements | Completing the arduous, painstaking task of acquiring every other Achievement/Trophy will endow you with two things; this final Achievement/Trophy, and a profound sense of accomplishment. Well done! |

This Platinum was so painful.
But this "gid gud" feeling at the end when you run through the Iron Keep in NG++ quite easily is priceless.

just got the dark soul achievment on pc for sotfs, been playing since 2016 on xbox and i never got all the achievments cuz i never knew that you could farm the bell covenant ranks offline, so i just assumed that getting the invisible weapon sorcery was downright impossible lol

By far the easiest way to get the Selfless Giver achievement is to join Way of the Blue by talking to the praying knight at the beginning of the game in Majula and then just playing through the game normally and killing all the NPC invaders you encounter. To get max rank in Way of Blue, you only need to kill 10 invaders (instead of 30 as is incorrectly stated in this guide), which is something you will get quite easily around halfway through the game or earlier. You don't even need to talk to the knight to collect your rewards for increasing your covenant rank, the achievement will unlock the moment you kill the last required invader.

Guys if you are facing trouble getting the spells for the achievements and you don't care the way you get it then you can download save file from nexus mods.

So Im just wondering- can you get the "gathering of exiles" achievement even if you kill the npc's that were at Majula beforehand? I killed one of the merchants for the tseldora pimp set but its only hitting me now, about 2hrs later, that I may've ****ed up.

Currently impossible to get the master of hexes sorcery as all servers are offline and for whatever reason you need to be online when getting the last one.

Stupid hidden weapon sorcery, F the Bell Covenant, what a load of ****, covenants should be optional, I shouldn't have to grind through more than the one I want to be in, it's bad enough getting the sunlight medals but my god the Bell covenant suckssss

So you need to get DLC spells in order to get the all spells achievements?
- Anonymous
Honestly, as much as I don't enjoy co-op with NPC I prefer this over having to grind covenant rank items in DS3. If they hide NPC questline behind achievements it's not as tedious. The 110% doesn't seem too difficult.

Let’s be honest guys, having to reach the chancellor in ng++ is moronic. It’s designed this way just to copy DS1 which requires reaching a similar point in the game on ng++ too but in that game there’s at least some internal logic to it as you need 3 souls of Sif but in DS2 it’s done when there’s no in game sense to it. It just ensures that you’ll have to grind as much as the last game purely for the sake of it.

How does one get 110% completion? 100% = Everything (just a basic definition). Is this just bad wiki editing or is there something special that is considered that extra 10% which breaks reality?

I have every hex including the dlc hexes, but I have a spiced down dark weapon, so I will see if that is the problem... in NG+

Steam has a nasty habit of denying an achievement for no reason, at least I was already planning a second character to redo most of the npc questlines

So, can these trophies all be gathered in a single NG cycle? Am I right to assume no NG+ is required?
- Anonymous
Killing Licia with the crushed eye orb before getting everyone prevents you getting the gathering of exiles trophy. If you are going for a platinum run (something like getting all spells idk) invest a few points into inteligence to get Carthilion early so you don´t forget and kill Licia early like me...
- Anonymous
So am I to assume that killing someone in Majula before everyone has moved there prevents you from obtaining the 'Gathering of Exiles' achievement/trophy? I killed Licia almost as soon as she moved to Majula (since I had no need of miracles and didn't feel like paying to access Huntsman's Copse etc), but that was obviously before I gathered Chloanne and Gilligan, and haven't got the achievement after bringing everyone else. So it would appear that killing anyone in Majula messes it up... looking back it would seem like common sense that this is the case...

For master of miracles, do all the miracles have to be learned on the same character? Or can some be on one and some on another?
