How do i beat king vendrick?

[Peter Montigrav]

I defeated the boss in the undead crypt, right after that is king vendrick that wanders around doing nothing. Im hitting him with lightning, bombs and my sword but he doesnt seem to give a flying *****
I want to fight him now not in a seperate boss area.

Collect giant souls so you can deal some damage to him.

well, damn if i come back to him later ill need to fight him in a boss area.

That IS the boss area.

And well, how should I say... he has 32 times of his normal defense. He gives 0 ♥♥♥♥♥ about any Ultragreatsword.

Collect Souls of a Giant. Each one halves his defense till it's back to x1.
Basic maths:
0 souls = x32 def
1 soul = x16 def
2 souls = x8 def
3 souls = x4 def
4 souls = x2 def
5 souls = x1 def, normal def

You can get 5 per playthrough.
They carry over to NG+ and further so you can have more than 5 in total. But more than 5 are useless since they don't cut his defense in half past his normal defense.

I recommend getting 4. 4 is enough to deal good damage, assuming your weapon is fully upgraded and your scaling-stats have a decent level.

You need at least 4 giant souls, then stock on some corrosive urns, or any other urns and as you will walk to his chamber start throwin them at him, after few he should start a fight. If u mean the one in which u was fighting the Velstadt, no you are not going to, hew will be waiting in the room with his armor on the ground, if you trigger the fight, the fog gate will apear bfr his chamber.

I wanted to tell him how to trigger the fight, even if u have the souls there will be no fog gate, so it might be confusing.

Go to dragon aerie, make your way through to ancient drake, he will give you the ashen mist key, then u can go to their memmories.

You can't yet. For now pick up the King's ring in Vendrick's room and carry on with the game. You can use the ring to open doors that were previously sealed, like the one in the forest of fallen giants, the one in Drangleic castle, and the one in the shaded woods.

You trigger the fight by dealing enough damage to him, that's it. Just like against the Ancient Dragon.

You can get one of the giant souls by killing the two giants in the secret room in Black Gulch. They're extremely weak to poison so remember to stock up on poison arrows or poison throwing knives.

Not the damage. Number of hits to be exact.
