How to unlock the Holder of the Fort achievement in DARK SOULS II: Scholar of the First Sin - Definitive Guide

To get this achievement Captain Drummond must give you a Drangleic Helm.

Captain Drummond is located in the Memory of Vammar. To access the giant memory you need the Ashen Mist Heart (story related).

Before you go to see Drummond, begin by going to the Memory of Jeigh. To get here, go down the ladder from the Cardinal Tower bonfire in the Forest of Fallen Giants and then across the bridge. Across the bridge is a door (You must have beaten the Last Giant to open this), go through and turn left. You should come to an open area with a King's Gate. Equip the King's Ring and enter, take the bonfire. Continue through outside to see a Giant Tree. Examine the tree to enter the Memory of Jeigh. In the Memory of Jeigh you must kill the Giant Lord, then leave.

Note: Make sure you summon Benhart for this fight so you don't miss his achievement, see the 'Moonlight Greatsword' guide for details.

Now that you have killed the Giant Lord, go back to the Cardinal Tower bonfire. From here go to where the ballistae are, rather than go into that room, go into the area opposite it and go through the right archway here. You should see a Giant Tree and two hollow soldiers attacking it. Go up to the tree and examine it.

Now you are inside the Memory of Vammar. You start in a mineshaft, follow it along until you reach a room. There should be many bodies on the floor. To your right, lying down is Captain Drummond. Talk to him and he should give you his equipment.

maybe mention that you need to talk to Benhart in Orro's memory before you are able to summon him for the boss fight.

Once you have spoken to the Ancient Dragon and acquired the Ashen Mist Heart you can enter the Memory of Vammar via the slumbering giant near the ballista room in the Forest of Fallen Giants. This is where Drummond is, you can speak to him now to learn a gesture but to get his equipment you need to kill the Giant Lord in the Memory of Jeigh (through the King’s door in the Forest of Fallen Giants). The Giant Lord is similar to the Last Giant and you can adopt almost the same tactics, plus you can summon Benhart in the memory to help you out. Once he is dead return to the Memory of Vammar again and speak to Drummond to get his helmet and the achievement.

For this trophy go to the Cardinal Tower Bonfire, go to where you met Pate and go through the archway nearby. Turn right and you will see the large tree with two knights attacking it. Examine this to enter the memory. You must defeat the Giant Lord before he will give you his gear.

Shortly after arriving and proceeding down the corridor with the dead soldiers littered around, you will find Captain Drummond. Exhaust his dialogue and he will give you his equipment.

To get the helmet and trophy, you need to kill the Last Giant boss in the Memory of Jeigh location. After which a monologue will become available, after which a trophy will be given.

Drummond himself is in the Memory of Vammar, it is difficult to miss him. If you talk to him first in the memory of Vammar, and then go to the giant boss in the memory of Jeith, then he can be called to battle and he will give you a helmet and the achievement will drop. If you talk to him for the first time after killing the giant, he will immediately give you a helmet and the achievement will drop.
