This achievement can only be earned from obtaining one of these Seals: Cursebreaker, Dredgen, Rivensbane, Unbroken, Chronicler, or Wayfarer.
If the name of the seal that you are earning/have earned is not one of the six listed above, the achievement will not unlock. This is because this achievement is tied to the first expansion of the game, Forsaken (released in Year 2), and so is coded to unlock only for seals that were released when Forsaken came out.
Please note that Chronicler, Wayfarer and Unbroken are no longer obtainable.
The guides I've written out below for each seal are written based off of personal experience earning each of these triumphs. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask in the comments below.
Cursebreaker and Dredgen are the easier titles to get for this achievement as opposed to Rivensbane, so I'd go after those. Given the changes to Gambit during this year (see here: ), I'd venture to say that Dredgen is harder to complete now than it used to be, which makes Cursebreaker probably the better option. You also get to learn a lot about the Dreaming City, which holds a lot of interesting lore.
EDIT 3/11/2022: With the release of Lightfall to kick of Year 6 and the start of Season 20 (Season of Defiance), there are no changes to any of the seals here within the solution. There have been a few reports last season that the achievement unlocked for some that had acquired the Glorious title, but it seems this is a bug and does not work for everyone. If you're looking to get this achievement, I would suggest trying to acquire one of the seals that is guaranteed to unlock it.
See here (This Week At Bungie (TWAB, )) for details on the retirement of the Unbroken seal.

Hello everyone, and welcome to this guide on how to earn the achievement Seal the Deal. There are plenty of other guides here that are pretty good in detailing what needs to be done for certain seals. My intention with this particular guide is to discuss each individual seal that you could earn in order to get the achievement, while taking into account changes from both Year 3, which saw the release of Shadowkeep, and particularly Year 4 of Destiny, which saw the release of Beyond Light. First off though, I want to make a few disclaimers.
***Please read these disclaimers prior to the guide! I have bolded the most important points. Specifically pay attention to points 3, 4 and 5. (Under a spoiler tag because there's so much scrolling otherwise. Sorry!)***
Please note! That once you've completed all the triumphs for whichever title you chose to earn, that the achievement will not pop until you have claimed the title in game. To do that, simply head over to the Triumphs tab in your in-game menu, select the title you've completed, and then click on the title name located below the title emblem (in the bottom left of the screen) in order to claim the title, and then click it again to equip the title. If the achievement still doesn't pop after that, logging out of the game completely and then logging back in should do it.
That all being said, let’s dive into it! As the Chronicler, Wayfarer and Unbroken seals have been retired from the game, they will be listed last. However, I'm still including them here regardless. Otherwise, we’ll just head through these alphabetically.

Thanks for stopping by this extensively long, detailed guide. Getting through it feels like Frodo getting rid of the One Ring –
But seriously, I hope this guide was useful in helping you get through one of these seals, whether you were using my text walkthrough or the sources I have linked above.
I’ve put a lot of time into making this guide, so I’d appreciate it if you could do me a favor now and leave an upvote or a comment down below to let me know what was or wasn’t helpful, or if there was anything that was confusing and could be rephrased.
If you’re going to downvote the guide, then before you do please let me know in the comments why. Chances are pretty good that it’s something I can help you with. If you don’t let me know, then I can’t make the necessary changes to help out some future player(s) who may encounter the same problem(s) you did.
