Get the Storm Ruler sword near his throne, use it's special attack.
Or you can get Siegward to help you as well if you do his sidequest.

Heavy spoilers:


1. Do Siegward's quest. Then you can summon your onion-buddy and he'll pretty much annihilate the boss on his own. Not kidding, it's quite crazy to see.
2. Run to the back of the boss room and pick up the weapon. Use it charged against the boss.

Near Yhorms thrown there is a sword that you're supposed to pick up. Grab it and, if you get a chance, quickly switch to it. If not, then just die and switch when you get to the bonfire.
With this sword, if you duel wield it and charge it up by holding LT, let it charge for a few seconds (you'll know when it's charged) and press RT to release it. It's kinda hard to get chared when you're next to him but if you just know how to manuvare around him you'll be fine. Hit him with it about 5 times and he'll die. Good luck! :D

If you want to proceed with his quest here are the breakdows
Buy his armor from Patches -> Give it to him in the well in Cathedral Of The Deep -> Talk to Him in Irithil Of Boreal Valley kitchen area -> Rescue him in Irithil Dungeon -> He'll fight Yhorm with you.

I didn't know there was a wep you could pick up, or a helper you could have help.

What I did was stay at his feet. When he does the smash attack, hit his hands. When you hit the hands enough he falls over and you can do a special attack when facing in front of him.

This boss is extremely easy to dodge and toy with, just hit those hands of his.

I used a bow to shoot him in the head, it brings him down to his knees and you can crit him. Was pretty fun, some actual challenge as opposed to onion bro and stormruler.

i followed the quest, completed it, and it didn't work, so i decided to look on the wiki...

'a cutscene will trigger with Siegward walking along side the player into the boss arena. He will not join you in the fight with Yhorm if you go straight to dungeon skipping kitchen, but you can still get the Titanite Slab at the end.'

so due to the bonfires i had been to before doing the quest ment that he did not spawn in the kitchen but still spawns in the dungon and he will not join me in the boss fight... -_- just wasted 2hrs...
