    A pretty annoying achievement to obtain and some dedication is needed. The quest you need to be completing to achieve this is only available once a day so this is gonna take a while.

    In order to unlock this you need to complete the in game achievement with the same name: Flawless sacrament. The conditions to unlock Flawless sacrament are to complete 6 other in game achievements. I will list them below with the method I used to unlock them.

    First Sacrament: When you come into the dark brotherhood sanctuary there will an NPC in the cave like area called Speaker Terenus he will give you contracts to go kill NPCs in unique areas. These contracts are given only once a day. Simply complete your first one to unlock this.

    Seventh Sacrament: Complete 7 of the above contracts

    Fifteenth Sacrament: Complete 15 of the above contracts

    Perfect Sacrament: When doing the contracts you are given one primary NPC to kill and several other optional tasks. In order to unlock this you need to complete the contract while completing all optional tasks. This needs to be done 5 times. I'm a magika based sorcerer so I didn't have any invisibility spells. I just took my time and was very cautious. Zooming out from your character as much as possible really helped me scout the playing field (hold down on dpad and toggle with right stick). Also, if you fail and get detected more than 5 times you can wait till your bounty clears, abandon quest and dashboard to completely reset your detection tries (you get 5 per contract). Once I came across invisibility potions I used them and it was extremely helpful.

    Hidden Sacrament: You need to complete a contract with out a single detection. Not sure if you need to complete optional tasks or not but I did it anyways just to be sure. I got lucky and did this on my first try so I don't know if the dashboard trick from above will work.

    Blackest Sacrament: The NPCs you kill have unique names, in order to unlock this you need to kill everyone listed in the in game achievement description. There are 21 NPCs listed in that list. It's completely random who you get each day but for the most part you don't get many repeats. In most cases you get to kill two in each contract which helps. However you will get repeats, you just have to stick with it and the names will continue to cycle through. I did it everyday so I don't know if that helped me or not.

    When all 6 have been unlock you will unlock Flawless Sacrament and get your 20g. You also get a pretty cool memento that not many players have. Hope this proves useful and as always let me know if I can add/change anything.

    ikilledbeckaIs there anyway to fail these even if you’ve killed both targets, only used one alert status, and made it out before the overseer arrives? Because I just did, I got to the entrance and it was like failed side objectives.

    RyanYou probably didn't use the correct method to kill your target. Poison and the Blade of Woe are sometimes required as an additional objective. Have not seen a different method required but I'm only a few contracts into this achievement.

    Shawn1991I got Hidden Sacrament without doing any of the optional objectives and the escape timer ran. Also invisibility potions really helped with this.

    x I LAZ I xWait, having the remaining target as a Secondary target counts towards this achievement, too?

    I've been checking this for over a MONTH for my final two targets. Oh the time I've wasted.

    KrazyKarnage17For the blackest sacrament in order to speed up progress the quest changes objectives every 6 hours (from daily reset) as long as the named target is a primary/secondary objective you just have to kill them for it to count (don't need to finish quest).
    Make sure you abandon it after killing targets in order to be able to access it for other rotation times as it is a once per day quest.

    Blue RadiumOf note - the targets offered change every 12 hours, not every 24. I'm not sure exactly what times. If you play once in the morning and once in the evening and check in on targets, you'll get two dice rolls. People who seem to have an impossible time are likely only checking one of the two intervals per day, and the targets they need are getting passed over.

    Inspector AdamI'm surprised no one have mentioned it yet: Only main targets count towards the Blackest Sacraments! At least it's a bug on my end. This makes it so infuriating to work on this banal achievement.

    mkdfanI wonder if they changed it so that only the main target counts towards the achievement cause I’ve seen people in old threads say that both count but only the main target is counting for me.

    SmiththedudeJust to throw my hat in here, the secondary targets are counting for my progress

    AlgurIt seems inconsistent whether it counts the secondary target. I've completed 9 sacraments, but have 10 targets marked off in the in-game journal. This means that at least 1 of my secondary targets has counted for Blackest Sacrament. However, the sacrament I completed yesterday had 2 new marks as the primary and secondary objectives, but it only counted the primary in the journal.
