Oh man I've fucked up big time! I didn't realise the Achient dragon was friendly so I fired arrows at him and now I have to fight him to get the item to carry on in the game but I can't do it! The dragon literally beats me in one hit every time I go to fight him and I've attempted it easily 20 times now, I'm slowly losing patience with it now. Anyone got any tips on how to beat? His attacks are just too damn strong and there isn't any player summon signs to help me out either besides the AI one that is useless.

Redeem your sins and the dragon will be friendly again ( I think). Talk to Cromwell the Pardoner in the Brighrstone Cove and ask for pardon. Remember though " we must never forget our sins " :p

The Ancient Dragon is my favorite boss fight in the game. If you want revenge, you need to stay under him and keep attacking the back legs, when he moves his wings just before he flys, immediately run toward the tail direction to avoid the flame.

Awesome! Thanks for the tips mate, I'll first try to fight him because I've lost all my souls now so it isn't such a big deal now, but if it takes me more than 5 attempts I'll take the cowards way out and redeem my sins :)
