First of all, english isn't my main language.
So, sorry for my grammar mistakes.

I don't recommend using this guide for your first playthrough

DLC items aren't required for achievements

This guide has all the information needed to get all the achievements in DARK SOULS III.
To get all achievements, you need to:

• Clear the game (also I hope you've done this already)
• Find all covenants
• Finish some NPC's storylines (some npc's storylines fails others)
• Get all gestures
• Get all sorceries
• Get all miracles
• Get all pyromancies
• Get all rings, +1,+2,+3 on NG+,NG++

It may sound like a lot, but even with this much you're still able to skip content. In other words, in this guide I'll be telling you exactly what to do to get all achievements, but anything other than that I'll be leaving out, so don't take this as a guide to all secrets in the game.
You need to have 10 INT stats to get Orbeck of Vinheim talk and give stuff to you.

Optional
You can start as Pyromancer to get the Great Swamp Ring if you want.(Dropped by the Great Crab, in the Road of Sacrifices.)
You can start with the Life ring as a Burial Gift if you want.(Can be bought from the Shrine Handmaid)

All of the information here can also be found in the wikis and YouTube videos. This guide is to just have everything an achievement-seeker needs in one guide.

These are all the relevant achievements in the game, both visible and hidden.
