I know I'm VERY late to the party, but Demon's Souls is one of my personal flagship titles for the PS3.  There is such an old school difficulty to this game that makes it so refreshing to play compared to most games I've played this generation.  I'm on my second play through, and I picked a priest as my character because I normally love bashing the undead with a mace.  It's been a while since I picked up the game, but I'm currently stuck at trying to defeat Selen's brother upon request to trying to find proof of his whereabouts.  I'm somewhere along level 108.  I'll get back to it sometime.  But I would to complete this game at least three times.

To do that quest, you need to have pure white world tendency. You then need to go to the area where you fought Maiden Astraea. The BP form of Garl Vinland should be there. He's is in the same place as he was during the Maiden Astraea fight. Once you kill him, loot his body to get the Crest of Vinland and return to Selen to complete the quest.


White Tendency = check

Fought Maiden Astraea = check

Encountered BF form of Garl Vinland = check

Defeating BF form of Garl Vinlan = Houston, we have a problem

As lestatdark said, the main goal is to lure him into attacking. This requires you to dodge, but once you dodge, he is open to melee attacks. There is the invisible wall that he will not go past, so just dance inside his range to get him to attack, dodge, then go on the offensive. It takes a while to kill him depending on the weapon you are using, but it is mainly an endurance battle rather than a difficult one.

Edit: Here is a video showing the general strategy. You can do it with just about any weapon as far as I know.
