Achievements

There are a total of 9 achievements linked to NPC questlines.

1: Curious Map

NPC: Cale the Cartographer

He can be found in the Forest of Fallen Giants; exhaust his dialogue and he will move to the Majula Mansion.

You must light all 8 fires on the map within the Mansion, each of which is lit either by defeating a boss or getting a key item.

1. Kill the Last Giant
2. Kill the Lost Sinner
3. Kill the Old Iron King
4. Kill the Rotten
5. Kill The Duke’s Dear Freya
6. Obtain the King’s Ring
7. Kill Throne Watcher & Defender
8. Obtain the Ashen Mist Heart

After completing every item on that list, go and talk to Cale. He will give you his equipment, and the Curious Map achievement will pop.

​

2: Change of Clothes

NPC: Rosabeth of Melfia

This quick quest is almost always finished during normal gameplay. Go to the Shaded Woods, and use a Fragrant Branch of Yore on Rosabeth.

DO NOT PULL THE SWITCH SHE WAS BLOCKING! THERE’S A LARGE AMBUSH THAT WILL PUT HER AT HUGE RISK!

After she recovers, talk to her. She will ask for clothes; give her whatever you like, but know that you cannot get back any equipment you give her. Although the option will always be in her Interact menu, you only need to give her one piece of equipment to satisfy this requirement. Upon doing so the Change of Clothes achievement will pop, and she will move back to Majula.

Go talk to her to receive your glorious reward: one Prism Stone! Try to contain your excitement.

​

3: Gathering of Exiles

For this achievement, you will need to find and send to Majula all 7 possible NPCs:

1. Merchant Hag Melentia; exhaust her dialogue in the Forest of Fallen Giants and defeat the Last Giant.
2. Cartographer Cale; exhaust his dialogue in the Forest of Fallen Giants.
3. Licia of Lindeldt; exhaust her dialogue in Heide’s Tower of Flame.
4. Carhillion of the Fold; with at least 8 raw INT, exhaust his dialogue and defeat the Flexile Sentry.
5. Rosabeth of Melfia; unpetrify her, give her a piece of equipment, and exhaust her dialogue.
6. Stone Trader Chloanne; exhaust her dialogue in Harvest Valley.
7. Laddersmith Gilligan; kill Mytha the Baneful Queen and he will move to Majula himself.

Once all NPCs have been moved to Majula the Gathering of Exiles achievement will pop.

Note that all 7 of those NPCs and the 4 who start there must all be alive and in Majula at the same time.

​

4: Moonlight Greatsword

NPC: Benhart of Jugo

You will need to exhaust his dialogue in each of his locations, starting at the entrance to the Shaded Woods, while summoning him to fight 3 bosses, successfully i.e. he must be alive when the fight ends. If he dies, die or warp out of the fight to retry.

There are 4 places you will encounter him along his questline:

1. Near the entrance to the Shaded Woods.
2. Drangleic Castle, near the Central Castle bonfire.
3. Forest of Fallen Giants, sitting near a fallen giant past the Pursuer’s boss arena
4. Memory of Orro, near where you spawn in.

The bosses he can be summoned for:

1. Prowling Magus
2. Looking Glass Knight
3. Elana, Squalid Queen
4. Giant Lord
5. Throne of Want fights; note that these don’t seem to count towards the quest

You can use Bonfire Ascetics to complete his fights. Prowling Magus is the easiest, while Giant Lord is the fastest. If he has trouble staying alive, you may consider using healing Miracles to prop him up, or using the Redeye Ring to keep aggro off him.

After satisfying the fight requirement, and exhausting his dialogue at each location, go talk to him in the Memory of Orro and he will give you his equipment, and pop the Moonlight Greatsword achievement.

​

5: Holder of the Fort

NPC: Captain Drummond

He can be found laying on some rubble at the beginning of the Memory of Vammar. Kill the Giant Lord, and exhaust his dialogue to receive his Drangleic Helmet, and pop the Holder of the Fort achievement.

​

6: Lucatiel’s Trophy

NPC: Lucatiel of Mirrah

This questline is much like Benhart’s; you must find and exhaust her dialogue at 5 locations, while summoning her to defeat 3 boss fights. As with Benhart, she must be alive when a boss dies for it to count.

DO NOT TALK TO HER AT HER FINAL LOCATION (ALDIA’S KEEP) UNTIL YOU HAVE FINISHED HER FIGHTS – IF YOU TALK TO HER BEFOREHAND HER QUESTLINE FAILS

Her locations:

1. No-Man’s Wharf; Scholar: Found in the building up the first set of stairs, to the left; Base Game: Standing next to the bonfire.
2. The Lost Bastille; in the tower straight ahead of the Tower Apart bonfire.
3. Earthen Peak; Scholar: just past the entrance of Earthen Peak, in a room down in the poison water; Base Game: At the Lower Earthen Peak bonfire.
4. Black Gultch; From the first bonfire, stick close to the edge. Before the first tar pools you can spot a small ledge below. Using a torch is strongly advised to see it. Drop down and follow the path to find her leaning against a wall.
5. Aldia’s Keep; at the Foregarden bonfire. Again, do not speak to her unless you are sure you satisfied the fight requirement.

Her fights:

1. Flexile Sentry
2. Lost Sinner
3. Smelter Demon
4. The Rotten
5. Burnt Ivory King

Again, Bonfire Ascetics can be used. Flexile is arguably the easiest, and the Rotten is the fastest. As with Benhart, you can prop her up with Miracles and/or use the Redeye Ring to keep aggro off her.

After satisfying her boss fight requirement and exhausting her dialogue in the first 4 locations, find her at Aldia’s Keep. Exhaust her dialogue to receive her gear, and pop the Lucatiel’s Trophy achievement.

​

7: Smith for Life

NPC: Steady Hand McDuff

Have him perform one of each type of infusion, then exhaust his dialogue to be gifted a Titanite Slab and pop the Smith for Life achievement.

Note: it’s unclear what the specific trigger for this quest is, but there are three likely criteria:

1. Spend 10,000 souls on upgrade/infusion/repair
2. Have him perform every infusion at least once
3. Light the brazier in his workshop so that he moves to his anvil

Doing all three should ensure you get the achievement.

​

8: Garrulous Miser

NPC: Laddersmith Gilligan

Defeat Mytha the Baneful Queen so he moves to Majula, then buy his most expensive ladder. He will gift you his equipment, and the Garrulous Miser achievement will pop.

​

9: Reflections of Disembodiment

NPC: Head of Vengarl

Find Vengarl in the Shaded Woods; in the foggy area, hug the left wall until you come to a clearing with a round stone structure. Vengarl is on a pile of rubble. Exhaust his dialogue to receive Vengarl’s Helm and pop the Reflections of Disembodiment achievement.
