Give me tips please. I spent a good two hours last try to beat him and had no luck. It seems if he decides to fly up a certain way theres no way to run away from the flame.

Yeah, sometimes that happens and there isn't much you can do. At the start run straight for the feet. Hit it a few times and go to the back legs. Here he can do his feet slam or fly up. If he does his feet slam you get a few free hit in the back legs. When he goes up to do the fire attack follow the tail and you should be fine. Rinse and repeat. Getting him in that AI loop is key. Good luck.

This is an unmissable story related trophy. You will acquire the Ashen Mist Heart by talking to or killing the Ancient Dragon at the end of the Dragon Shrine.

After getting the King Ring you will have to reach the Ancient Dragon and speak to him in order to acquire this key. The path to get to him is outlined below:

1. From the Shaded Woods fork bonfire head down the middle path and open the door with the King Ring.
2. Fight your way through Aldia's Keep and beat the Guardian Dragon Boss
3. Progress through the Dragon Aerie and reach the Dragon Shrine.
4. Fight your way to the top of the Dragon Shrine and speak to the Ancient Dragon.

Make note that you cannot summon players to help you through the Dragon areas in the game because the Ancient Dragon is not hostile before you meet him, so after the Guardian Dragon you will have to beat your way up to the Dragon by yourself.

Story progression – can’t be missed. Once you have the King’s Ring head to the Ruined Fork Road bonfire in the Shaded Woods and then through the middle opening to access a gate (need the ring equipped to open). This leads to Aldia’s Keep, go through here to the Dragon Aerie and then the Dragon Shrine. At the end of the shrine you will speak to the Ancient Dragon and be given this item and the achievement will unlock. You do NOT have to fight him, but if you do so it will make the Vendrick fight much easier - only attack him AFTER you get the Heart.

At the end of the "Dragon Temple" location a huge ancient dragon will sit. When you talk to him, he will give you this ashes. Story trophy.

If you defeat the boss, you will receive the soul of a giant, which will help you in the battle with Vendrick. But it’s harder to defeat him than Vendrick himself without this soul.

Carefully! If you hit the dragon 3-5 times (depending on your damage), it will become a hostile boss and can be fought. After the dragon has become hostile, you can see summoning signs from NPCs and other players (left with white chalk). If the boss is neutral, you can only call another player to help in the form of a shadow (the sign is left with a small white chalk)
