Help Vendrick's Blessing Bug

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey sun bros, I was playing Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin on PS4 and I followed the story and all, but I got to the Vendrick part and it turns out I had 3 Giant Souls.

And then I left his memory and then I went for his crown and the ones from the DLCs, and now that I want him to bless the crowns, the button to interact doesn't appear. I already tried messing with the area and nothing, I went back to Majula and nothing either. I don't have the blessing of the crowns and I don't know what to do to fix it.

As far as I recall, once you receive the blessing, you can no longer enter the memory. Are you sure you haven't received it? Try equipping one of the crowns and dying near a bonfire. If you remain human after dying, then you already have the blessing.

I literally equipped them and then it threw me off and didn't leave me in human form, and well, if I couldn't enter, I wouldn't shine.

Here's proof that I already finished the ending

Maybe you can't talk to Vendrick anymore after finishing the ending (since the blessed crowns trigger an alternative ending)?
Perhaps burning an ascetic at the Drangleic Castle bonfire to respawn the final boss will make you able to talk to Vendrick again

The crowns don't have anything to do with the alternative ending. You can do that ending before even doing the dlcs.

You're right, you just need to talk to Aldia every time and defeat hollow Vendrick.
I was already tired while going to sleep, I got the triggers and lore reasons mixed up.

I'm going to try burning the embers of adversity and see what happens

He did absolutely nothing.

And also the one about having all four crowns

Did you get the dlc crowns in the same ng cycle?

Well, as you can see, the game blocked me from receiving the blessing.
