The Last Giant

The Last Giant is a huge opponent that can deal huge damage. However, it is still relatively easy to defeat. Your fight with the giant boils down to attacking his legs, simply because your character cannot reach higher. Below, you can find a list of the giant's attacks and hints on how to defeat him, while sustaining as little damage as possible.

Attacks:

  • Horizontal paw attack - when you are in front of the Giant, he performs a horizontal swing above the ground. Due to the giant's size, the range of this attack is considerable.
  • Vertical swing - when his health bar drops to about half, the giant rips off one of his hands. If you are in front of him, he takes a swing, from above his head, and slams against the ground.
  • Swing with the arm- this attack is, usually, preceded by the vertical swing with the arm that the giant has ripped off. He attacks horizontally with the arm that he has ripped off. Deal considerable damage.
  • Ground stomp - when you are standing behind the enemy, especially around his legs, he performs a ground stomp, which deals a lot of damage and, at the same time, tosses you away from the opponent.
  • Fall to the ground - when you are behind or under the giant, he fall s to the ground, which is a perfect opportunity to deal damage to him. You need to be careful, though, because, at the moment at which he falls down, your character also takes damage, which makes it impossible to perform the attack.
