How many Giant Souls should I have for killing King Vendrick?

I have 3 Giant Souls and I only deal like 100 damage per hit! Should I kill the ancient dragon for another? (accidentally used the one after the giant lord)

4

It'll probably still take you a while with all 4 souls, though.
That guy has tons of hp.

There are 5 of them in the game. 3 from memories, 1 from the dragon and 1 from the giants in Black Gulch.

I believe that you can use a Bonfire Ascetic in the Gulch to respawn the two giants in that cave at the bottom, that'll get you a duplicate soul. Might want to check up on that to make certain you upgrade the correct bonfire.

You can't get more giant souls with ascetics.

Three isn't too bad as long as you abuse his weakness - his left leg.

None of his attacks can hit you if you keep strafing right and stay just behind his left leg.

It'll go by faster if you have four but it is doable with three, meaning you don't need to kill the Ancient Dragon to kill him. That one is probably the hardest Giant Soul to get IMO.

Ancient Dragon is actually really easy as long as you're patient and get him locked in an easy pattern. Basically, you want him against the edge of the platform. Then you bait the frontal breath, hit a leg, then run back. He will then fly up and breathe underneath himself, but he won't move from the edge. You can just run back to dodge the fire. Then bait the frontal breath again. Rinse and repeat until dead. He can't touch you.

It'd be the first bonfire there.
However, I believe they patched it out in SotFS.

Yeah, you can respawn them, but they won't drop a soul, I think.
