How to unlock the Holder of the Fort achievement in DARK SOULS II - Definitive Guide

The NPC for this achievement only appears at one place in the game : Memory of Vammar.

In order to get there you need to obtain the "Ashen Mist Heart", it's part of the main quest.
You can refer to this achievement on how to obtain it *As for now there is no solution yet, but it will come in time*
Dark Souls IISecret AchievementThe Secret Achievement achievement in Dark Souls II worth 28 pointsContinue playing to unlock this secret achievement


You also have to kill the Giant Lord in Memory of Jeigh, the tree is found behind the door requiring the King's ring. If you don't know where the door/tree is, at the 2nd bonfire, go down, take the small bridge to the other side of the fiery pit, go right and through the door and take a left after the door. You should now be facing the door requiring the King's ring, equip it, go through the door, rest at the new bonfire you've just discovered if you need to and you should now see the tree in front of you and interact with it.

The memory has a limited amount of time (I'd say ~5 minutes). There's 2 Giants, the Giant Lord, a bunch of explosion (none of the in the area of the boss) and a huge rolling stone head that comes of the statue. Run as far as you until you see the head rolling, you can go to safety on the left and avoid the head. The explosion and the head should take care of the giants and any small enemies. Go around the head (the right) and kill the boss. The boss is similar to the Last Giant you killed a the start of the game except he has more life, hits harder, has sword while having two arms (compared to Last Giant with either 2 arms or 1 arm + 1 arm as a weapon). When you're done, to exit simply go up the step and interact with the man like statue on the ground, once to get a soul, twice to exit.

Now it's time to go to Memory of Vammar. How to get there? Teleport to the 2nd fire of the forest of the fallen giant, run all the way to be turtle shell guy, but instead of going that way, take a right until you get to the giant like tree. When you examine the tree you should be teleported in the zone.

When you're inside Memory of Vammar move forward until you reach a room with a door you can actually open, don't open the door yet. To the right of the room, there's a man. Keep talking to him and the achievement will eventually pop.

Didn't know at the time you had to kill the Giant Lord before to complete it, edited the solution.

'...until you reach a room with a door.' I've found so many rooms with doors in this game.

Not sure if it was changed in later patches, but I entered the Memory of Vammar first and only learned the gesture, I had to go beat the Giant Lord in the Memory of Jeigh, then return and speak to him to get to equipment, after which the trophy popped.

When you have the Ashen Mist Heart you will need to go to the Cardinal Tower bonfire and open the door that required the King Ring. This will give you access to the The Place Unbeknownst bonfire. From here you will want to enter the Memory of Jeigh and defeat the Giant boss. Get the Giant Soul and then return to the Cardinal Tower bonfire and go to the Memory of Vammer that is where Drummond is. Simply talk to him over and over and he will give you his equipment. See the videos posted below, in the 2nd video at the 58 second mark I run past Drummond.

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.

When you enter the memory of Vamar (the memory of one of the giants in the Forest of Fallen Giants), almost at the very beginning you will see Captain Drummond, listen to all his dialogues and he will give you his equipment.

if you go straight to the Memory of Vammar, he will not give you the equipment, you must first kill the boss of the giant king in the Memory of Jet, then go back to the Memory of Vammar, and after that you will get his equipment...

this equipment is only a helmet, the rest you find after defeating the Pursuer, in the place where the floor collapses, by jumping into the rift
