Discover Mound-makers covenant.

MUST BE DONE BEFORE KILLING THE ROTTING GREATWOOD.

From the second bonfire in the Undead Settlement head forward and through the building, then on the other side head forward and then right over the stone bridge. Kill the two enemies that rush you and go to the right of the building they came out of and up the path, watch out for ambushing thralls here. Head up the ladder at the end and over the roof to your right to drop down behind a large cage carrying enemy. Sneak up behind him and interact with him to be taken to the Covenant.

If you killed the Greatwood before doing this you can speak to Sirris when she shows up in Firelink. Then cross the bridge to Irithyll and kill the wolf beast that attacks you there. Rest at the first bonfire at the end of the bridge and go back to where you fought the wolf to find Sirris; summon sign. Use it and help her beat the phantom. Then progress and kill Aldritch. After he is dead go back to the room before the Greatwood boss to find her sign again, help her hill another enemy to gain access to the Covenant that way.

You need to get this Covenant to Rank 2 in order to acquire a unique spell, which requires 30 Vertebrae Shackles. You get them by killing other phantoms/hosts as a member or farming the Red Eyed Skeleton enemies in Catacombs of Carthus. Spawn at the Catacombs of Carthus bonfire, go straight and then right (watch the skeleton boulder here) then take the next door on the left - there are two skeleton swordsmen in the next corridor. The drop rate is roughly one in thirty if you have the Symbol of Avarice, Golden Covetous Serpent Ring and use a Rusted Coin.
