Knight's Honor Trophy / Achievement Guide
Knight's Honor is a Trophy and Achievement in Dark Souls and Dark Souls Remastered. It is arguably the hardest achievement to unlock in the game. To get this achievement you must obtain certain hard-to-get weapons and shields on the same character. Sometimes a glitch allows for the achievement to trigger when collecting with different characters, but if you want to be sure to get the achievement aim to get them all on one character.
Weapons and Shields ascended from Boss Souls
This requires a certain type of regular weapon, upgraded to 10+, and the Soul of a defeated Boss. The Giant Blacksmith in Anor Londo will ascend the weapon and soul for 5000 souls. Any properties, stats or movesets of the previous weapon will be replaced when forged into a Boss Soul weapon, so it is usually a good idea to use something cheap or easily obtained when creating them. Most Boss souls are used to create two different weapons, but the Soul of Sif is used for three, so a minimum of NG+2 will be needed to acquire all Boss Soul weapons.
Chaos Blade
You must ascend a +10 Katana and the soul of Quelaag.
Ascend a +10 shield or buckler, and the soul of The Moonlight Butterfly. Practically any shield can be used given that it's been upgraded to +10.
Ascend any +10 Bow, and the soul of Gwyndolin.
Ascend any +10 Cestus or Claw, and the core of the Iron Golem.
Ascend any +10 Spear or Rapier, and the soul of Ornstein.
Ascend any +10 Axe, and the core of the Iron Golem.
Ascend a +10 dagger, sword or greatsword, and the soul of Gwyn, The Lord of Cinder (can only be done on NG+).
Ascend a +10 shield or buckler and the soul of Sif, The Great Grey Wolf.
Greatsword of Artorias (Cursed)
You must Ascend a +10 Dagger, Sword or Greatsword, with the soul of Sif, The Great Gray Wolf. Using these weapons for ascension will give you the cursed version of the Greatsword of Artorias. The name will not indicate any difference between the true and cursed variant, but the cursed version has a stat requirement of 18 for Faith and Intelligence.
You must ascend a +10 Broken sword, and the soul of Sif, The Great Gray Wolf. Basic Zombies or the Defiled in Blighttown will usually drop broken swords. The name will not indicate it is the true version of the greatsword, but it has higher stat requirements of 20 for faith and intelligence.
Ascend any +10 Halberd, Scythe or Whip, and the soul of Priscilla. Unlike other Boss Souls, Priscilla's soul only ascends one weapon.
Ascend any +10 Spear or Rapier, and the soul of the Moonlight Butterfly.
Ascend a +10 Curved Sword, and the soul of Quelaag. A scimatar is a good choice.
Ascend a +10 Hammer or Great Hammer and the soul of Smough.
Ascend any Catalyst and the soul of Gwyndolin, The Darkmoon God. Ascension of the original catalyst is not needed, as it cannot be done. The sorcerer's catalyst is the best choice for ascension.

Acquired from a corpse in Valley of Drakes, next to the Undead Dragon.
Anor Londo. Found in a treasure chest alongside other chests containing Havel's Equipment, located behind a hidden wall in a Fireplace.
Anor Londo. When you reach the Giant Blacksmith, go back into the large main room ang go up the stairs. At the top of the stairs you'll find some big windows with one broken. Exit the window heading right, and you will see a corpse with the bow.
Tomb of Giants. Found on a corpse just before the second bonfire.
Anor Londo. Found in a treasure chest alongside other chests containing Havel's Equipment, located behind a hidden wall in a Fireplace.
Can found on a corpse in the Painted World of Ariamis after the door requiring the Annex Key.
Weapons acquired from covenants
Given as a gift when joining Darkwraith Covenant. (Can also be obtained as a drop from the NPC Darkwraiths in New Londo Ruins)
Given as a gift when joining Gravelord Servant Covenant. (confirmed by SilverKnightDragon)
Weapons acquired from cutting off tails
The Depths. Cut off the tail of the Gaping Dragon.
Cut the tail off of the Ancient Dragon in Ash Lake. As long as you don't attack the body, this will not anger the dragon or break the covenant.
Undead Burg. Use arrows to shoot the tail of the Red Drake, or Bridge Wyvern, from underneath the bridge. It can also be cut off from on top of the bridge, if the Bridge Wyvern has landed to attack you.
Crystal Cave. Cut off the tail of Seath The Scaleless, once the immortality crystal has been broken. (Seath's tail cannot be cut off in your first encounter)
Priscilla's Dagger
Painted World of Ariamis. Cut off the tail of Priscilla - this can be difficult to do considering her ability to turn invisible, so consider careful strikes or weak weapons. Tag her with a throwing knife so you can track her while invisible. use weak weapons or the Force spell to break her poise, then go for her
Undead Parish. During the boss fight, cut off the tail of the first Bell Gargoyle. Easier if focused down before 2nd Gargoyle comes into the fight. It can also be obtained from the two gargoyles near the beginning of Anor Londo.
**The FuturePress guide is wrong when it says that you need the ghost blade and the titanite catch pole. You do not need either.** All weapons must be on the same character.

Wtf is everyone crying about? 100% this game on PS and coming to do it again on PC and I am honestly just playing the game. Everyone but sweaty trophy hunters, who don’t actually like the game would have no problem with 2.5 runs to get everything so stop crying or go and play smth else. Litterally play the game. You will have everything u need outside maybe so black knight weapons in 20hrs from a brand new character
This is really only bad if you don't like playing the game

Pessoal, então, sei que essa conquista é extremamente chata e frustrante. Mas a maioria das wikis não tem a lista correta de todas as armas necessárias. Para eu realmente conseguir todas, precisei consultar 3 sites diferentes. Se eu não estou enganado, falta nessa página o Notched Whip, que também é uma arma necessária para conseguir a conquista

The people *****ing about this achievement who haven't even done it have no idea how frustrating it is... Not the trophy but when the trophy corrupts your game and forces you to delete all your progress without giving you the trophy... Nice... Never thought I would delete dark souls especially recently trying to get platinum but **** it it's from softs fault once again
- Anonymous
I dedicated a massive amount of time to platinuming dark souls and finally got this trophy done and now dark souls is corrupted and I did not get the trophy after taking all of the items out of my bottomless box and 300 hours of dark souls build up for a corrupt game. People don't talk about it enough but fromsoft games are designed with massive flaws in every game. Especially dark souls there best game
- Anonymous
Fun fact: notice how there's 3 different things you need to use sifs soul for when all other bosses have 1 or 2, almost arbitrarily making you do 3 playthroughs for platinum? Ds2 carries on this tradition
There may not be a rare weapons achievement, but there's a miracle and pyromancy you need that are obtainable either from 500 wins from the dual covenant and 500 allies helped as a blue sentinel, or just randomly sold from an npc you can only access after half the game in ng++

Not bad at all if you just like playing the game. Totally winged it and finished in NG+2, PTDE offline.

I just got the achievement without the Greatshield of Artorias. Someone here said that they got it without the Greatsword of Artorias (cursed). Could it be that you need any two of the three weapons that are forged with the soul of Sif?

There are some glitchs that you can use, like shop dupe/proxy quantity to get the boss souls and go to Ng+ only to kill ornstein and smoug for the second soul and make the weapon. No need to use cheat engine or any program.

My copy of the future press guide does not contain the two unnecessary weapons mentioned in the note at the end of this list but it does contain the Demon's catalyst (dropped by the Demon Firesage in Demon Ruins) which does NOT appear on THIS list.

Just did Knights Honor on Dark Souls: Remastered on Steam and completed it without needing to get the Cursed version of Artorias's Greatsword, I had only crafted the True one. This was definitely all on one file and certainly only on NG+, not NG+2.
Not sure if there was any change about this from the PtD Version, but if you're going for this, try crafting the True version first and collect the rest and maybe save yourself half of a NG+2 run!

The worst part about this achievement is the amount of menus you have to suffer through.
I just got the achievement without needing the Greatsword of Artorias (Cursed), only the True version.
be sure to upgrade all pre-boss weapons to +10 on your first run so you don't have to grab the large ember again

Would someone on Steam trade with me for the Black Knight Shield? I'm on NG++ and going hollow.

I had all weapons but somehow didn't get the achievement. I even put them in the same order as the items in this article and checked like 10 times.
So I was desperate and put all the weapons on the ground to collect them again (in case the game just didn't register). So I collected them again and every single weapons I crafted with boss souls was gone, still no achievement.
Thanks Fromsoftware/Steam.

I got this trophy, hit me up if you need a Sif weapon or rare drop. I'm on PS4
Rant: to not fault of it's own I really hate the Stoc. I never used a piercing sword so I didn't even realize it was a separate cathegory. At the end of my second playthrough I prep everything up for the Knight's Honor trophy, leaving the cursed SoA for last. I make a V line for Sif, bring down every boss I need to get to Anor Londo, find out at the giant blacksmith my mistake...so I take down O&S a 3rd time for warping and I ****ing realize I need the large ember again...so I had to deal with the most BS boss of this game for a 3rd time, the capra demon and his ****ing dogs on his studio apartment closet.

Shooting the tail for the Drake Sword in NG+ on your 6th playthrough hits a little different to when you first got it as a crutch.

Do you need to upgrade the weapons/armors/shields after ascending them?
- Anonymous
It takes a lot of upgrade materials to make all those boss weapons. Easiest way to get them is to go to painted world, put on silver serpent ring and symbol of avarice, run from bonfire to the phalanx enemies (blob guys with shields and spears) and kill them all, run back to bonfire, repeat. You'll get over 20k souls each run on NG+, and you'll quickly have enough to just buy all the materials you need from the giant blacksmith.
