Achievements

Achievements are a series of optional challenges that reward items or equipment upon successfully clearing them. They can be accessed through the Blade of Champions found near to the Firelink Shrine Bonfire.

Achivements can only be reset by finishing the current game cycle and starting a new one, whether they were completed successfully or not.

Notes

• All achievements are disabled in Explorer Mode.
• Master of Corruption cannot be disabled once the mode is enabled until all maluses have been obtained or after starting the next New Game cycle, but the maluses themselves can be sold to remove their negative effects in case they become too overwhelming to an unprepared player. It is required to warp to another area or reload the character save after selling any maluses to fully remove their effects. Using a tome to revive a boss and then defeating them will give the malus and activate it again as normal.
