After you have advanced to the sixth act of the campaign (Arx), you must complete the quest A King Reborn. This task has described in the Remaining Quests | Arx section of our guide. The reward for its completion is, among others, the Anathema.

Expert
Trophy type: Bronze
Requirements: You must unlock your second Source Point slot.

If you agree, Dorotya will suggest a meeting in a more secluded place.
Disconnect the group member who talked to Dorotya from the rest of the party and follow the woman. Once you reach her location of choice, it will turn out that Dorotya is a spider. If you allow her to kiss your character anyway, you will receive the Spider Kiss talent and the achievement in question.
