Darkdiver Grandahl

Darkdiver Grandahl is an NPC in Dark Souls II.

General Information
Grandahl is found in three separate shrines throughout Drangleic. These shrines are often in hidden places and they all need to be found to activate Grandahl's services as the Pilgrims of Dark Covenant leader. These places are often accessed via dropping, and are located in The Black Gulch, Shaded Ruins, and Drangleic Castle. After finding all three, Grandahl will ask you to join the Pilgrims of Dark covenant. Through each of these Shrines you may access a different part of the Dark Chasm. Your first journey into the Dark Chasm will be free, but be warned that if you should die, future journeys require the sacrifice of a Human Effigy. Grandahl can be found in whichever shrine you choose to visit.
 * To find The Black Gulch entrance, you will need the Forgotten Key gained from killing two Elite Giants in a cave located underneath the door's platform. This is inarguably the hardest Shrine to access.
 * The Shaded Ruins access point is located to the right of the path that leads up to the Scorpioness Najka fight. Find the grassy patch to the right and fall through the boards in the ground to find the Shrine.
 * The Drangleic Castle access point is located in the big room just off the bonfire room, which has many Stone Soldiers and Ruin Sentinels inside it. From the bonfire room corridor, head to the furthest set of doors and take the one on the left. After killing the Sentinel inside, step in and you will fall through a hole leading to a bonfire and the final Shrine.

Completion of the Dark Chasm will allow you to talk to Grandahl again, and he will give you a Dragon Chime for doing so.
