Dragon Remnants | Dark Souls 2 Wiki

Dragon Remnants is a PvP Focused Covenant in Dark Souls II. It is essentially a continuation of the Path of the Dragon from Dark Souls.

Covenant Leader: Magerold of Lanafir
Where to Join: Iron Keep

How to Join Dragon Remnants

At Dragon Shrine, after you kill the enemy shooting lightning at you, you go up the steps and kill a 2-handed and a shield/1-handed knight. Do not go through the door yet, look around for an area to jump off of next to two chests. One is a mimic so be careful ( The mimic is removed in Dark Souls II: SoFS). After killing a Drakekeeper and the NPC invader Dragonfang Villard, the Petrified Egg will be on an altar.
Give it to Magerold of Lanafir in Iron Keep, and after speaking with him you can then request to join the covenant.

• (Note: With the Petrified Egg in your inventory, it is not possible to trade with Magerold. This can be resolved by joining the covenant or putting the egg inside your storage.
• Giving Magerold the egg DOES NOT immediately enter you in the covenant, just giving him the egg allows you to join, but doesn't tell you to abandon your old covenant.

When joining the Dragon Remnants covenant, Magerold will give you a Dragon Eye and an Ancient Dragon Seal ring. When worn, this ring will increase the amount of HP you recover by using an Estus Flask by +50 HP. The Dragon Eye works similar to a Red Sign Soapstone. You use this item to place down a summon sign to duel the host of a world, who must summon you in. Contrary to Red and White soapstones, neither you nor the host have to be human for the Dragon Eye to work.

Rank

To gain ranks within this covenant, you must obtain Dragon Scales. You can obtain them with in both PvE and PvP ways.

How to obtain Dragon Scales:

• Defeat a host who summoned you via your Dragon Eye.
• Defeat a Dragon Remnant member you summoned using their Dragon Eye.
• Possible drop from Dragon Soldiers in the Dragon Shrine.
• Found on a body near the elevator, after defeating the Guardian Dragon in Aldia's Keep.
• Lair of the Imperfect dropped by Imperfect. Rare drop. (Sunken King DLC)
• Small chance of dropping from Dragonfang Villard.
• Rare drop from Black Dragon Knights

Notes, Hints, and Tips

• The bridge right next to the first bonfire in Iron Keep is a well known PvP spot for this covenant.
• The Cardinal Tower and surrounding area is another common dueling area in the highest Soul Memory bracket.
• Because of the required Petrified Egg, it is not possible to join this covenant early on in the game.
• Beware: There is a chance of being attacked by your summoner immediately after entering their world, since you spawn where your sign is placed.
• You can still use the Dragon Head/Torso if you abandon the covenant.
• Defeating the host when you are summoned will fully repair all of your equipment, but will not reverse hollowing.
