Here is the Dark Souls II Scholar Of The First Sin Master Of Sorcery Trophy Guide.
In total, there are 31 sorceries that can be earnt as you make your way through Dark Souls 2, this will include going through the DLC areas which are included in the S.O.F.T.S. version of the game to acquire them all.
Most of the sorceries can be purchased from 5 NPCs throughout the world. The remaining sorceries are acquired either throughout the world or by performing certain tasks in a covenant. In order to cast a sorcery, you will need a staff then at a bonfire you can attune the spell which will allow you to cast it for the given amount of times allowed.
Here is where you can find the NPCs and the requirements you need to meet in order for them to start selling you their various sorceries.
Carhillion of the Fold
No Man’s Wharf, Unseen Path To Heide bonfire.
Found on a jetty, to the right of the one you need to board the ship and travel to the Lost Bastille, speak with Carhillion when you have at least 8 Intelligence.
He will then move to Majula after you defeat the Flexile Sentry boss and will then sell you his sorceries.
Straid of Olaphis
The Lost Bastille, Sinner’s Rise The Saltfort bonfire.
Straid is found easily if you come back on yourself from The Saltfort bonfire in Sinner’s Rise, even though he is technically in The Lost Bastille.
Make your way down and back across the bridge, kill the Mummies and go up the stairs, defeat all of the Mummies up the stairs. You will then see a petrified Straid, blocking the entrance to the left cell.
Use a Fragrant Branch of Yore to free him, you will then be able to light and travel back to the Straid’s Cell bonfire. In order for Straid to sell you his sorceries, you must have at least 3 Intelligence and 3 Faith.
Whenever you return to Straid, take out the mummies on the same floor as the cells as a priority as if they aggro, they can kill Straid very quickly.
Take special care of the Mummy right next to Straid as hitting him will stop him from selling you sorceries, so use a bow / spell to be on the safe side.
Weaponsmith Ornifex
Shaded Woods, Shaded Ruins bonfire.
From the Shaded Ruins bonfire, make your way around to the ledge just off to the right, you will find a petrified Lion Warrior, use a Fragrant Branch of Yore and defeat it to receive the Fang Key.
Next, go to the wooden slats in the same area so you can fall through to an area with acid (don’t equip anything down here as the acid will break it very quickly except one weapon you don’t mind losing).
Go up and to the left to find a wooden door, use the Fang Key, speak with Ornifex (exhaust her dialogue), where she will then relocate to Brightstone Cave Tseldora, so head over there.
From the Chapel Threshold bonfire, make your way back out to the flat area, go over to the right and jump the gap (practice jumping first if you’re not confident), then make your way down to the ground level.
Careful down here as you will get invaded as well as have to contend with multiple Spiders, Spellcasters that have amazing tracking, a Basilisk, and plenty more besides.
Once you have dealt with all of these enemies, go to the wooden door next to the quicksand whirlpool. Inside this small building will be Ornifex, speak with her and she will start selling you sorceries.
Grave Warden Agdayne
Undead Crypt, Undead Crypt Entrance bonfire.
From the bonfire, head through the area, until a voice starts speaking to you, it is imperative you don’t have any light on you and that you have dealt with the torch wielding Hollow.
Before you go up to Agdayne as any light will turn him hostile until your next playthrough. He will only talk to you in complete darkness, after you have spoken to him the first time, he will then be willing to sell you his spells.
Royal Sorcerer Navlaan
Aldia’s Keep, Foregarden bonfire.
This is by far the trickiest NPC to be able to acquire spells from. I will give you a complete overview of what’s required below.
Firstly, get to Aldia’s Keep, then proceed inside, go around to the right to speak with Navlaan.
Please Note: There is a lever at the end of the left path that will free Navlaan, it is very important that you !!DO NOT TOUCH THIS LEVER!! as he will disappear and also go on an NPC killing spree when he’s out which can seriously mess up your current playthrough.
Speak with Navlaan whilst you’re Hollow (die at least once and don’t use a Human Effigy) and he will request a few things of you before he will sell you his spells. Your first task is to bring him a Ladder Miniature, which can be acquired from Laddersmith Gilligan (found in Earthen Peak, speak with Gilligan to send him back to Majula) in Majula. You can purchase a Ladder Miniature after you have purchased the longest ladder for 12,000 souls, once acquired, take this back to Navlaan.
Navlaan will then instruct you to collect the Helm of Cale the Cartographer, to find Cale, go to the Forest of Fallen Giants, once you have gone up the stairs, drop down to the right just before you go up the tree trunk to where you can fight the Pursuer. Go up the ladder, across the rooftops to go to the top right corner of this area, watch out for the rolling boulder, speak with Cale to send him back to Majula, once he’s there, you will need to light all of the bonfires in the mansion.
Once you have lit every bonfire and have unlocked Curious Map, Cale will gift you his Helm so take this back to Navlaan. Next up, you need to acquire the Sunset Staff, this used to be easily acquired by killing the mimic outside Aldia’s Keep, however, in the SOTFS version of the game (PS4, Xbox One etc), it can ONLY be acquired from Felkin The Outcast in Huntsman Copse.
In order to acquire the Sunset Staff, you will need 20 Intelligence AND 20 Faith which, if you run a melee build can be a bit of a pain to grind to. You do have the option of killing Felkin to acquire the staff, however, ensure you have acquired all of Felkins’ Hexes before hand, otherwise Master Of Hexes will be unobtainable on this playthrough so having the required stats is the best option here. Once you have the Sunset Staff, return to Navlaan.
Finally you will be tasked with finding the Aged Feather, this can be acquired from the Emerald Herald who appears at the start of the Dragon Aerie location, speak with the Herald to acquire the Aged Feather then return to Navlaan. Please Note: you don’t actually lose the items, simply having any of the 4 required items in your inventory, is enough of a requirement for Navlaan.
After you have acquired all 4 of the items he requires, you will then receive the Unleash Magic sorcery and Navlaan will now sell you his sorceries. Just don’t ever pull the lever on the left pathway as this will still free him! In addition to the 5 NPCs listed above, you will also need to acquire Boss Souls then trade them in with Straid Of Olaphis in The Lost Bastille to acquire additional sorceries.
There are several sorceries located through the world of Drangleic in varying locations, including 2 of the 3 DLC packs (included with the S.O.F.T.S. version), the Crown of the Sunken King and the Crown of Ivory King. Then finally, you will also need to join the Bell Keeper Covenant (click the link to go to the Clangorous Covenant guide for information on this).
