If you stand in the same place for too long, you might get hit by the edge of one of his attacks. Once he’s there, dodge his attack, and get back behind his legs.ĭo not try for more than one attack at a time. When this happens, run away, and wait for Vendrick to reach the middle of the arena again.

The only thing you have to watch out for is if you end up near a wall, where it will not be possible to stand behind him. All of his attacks are forward-facing, meaning nothing can hit you behind him as long as you keep rotating with him. The best way to kill Vendrick is to simply stay behind him at all times. You should also take some repair powder or a backup weapon. Equip your Lightning Giant Club, Bracing Knuckle Ring, and Lightning Clutch Ring for the fight. Because of this, you may as well leave the shield off completely. Every single hit will fully drain your stamina if you’re blocking, or almost kill you outright if you’re not. Vendrick is the hardest hitting enemy in the game. Once you defeat the Ancient Dragon, you will receive your fifth Soul of a Giant.

You will need all of your best fire-resistance equipment on, including the Gyrm Greatshield. If you start attacking the Ancient Dragon, it will start a boss fight. Travel to the Dragon Shrine, and approach the Ancient Dragon at the peak. The fight required to gain it can be one of the hardest confrontations in the game - but it can also be one of the easiest.
