Giant Lord | How to defeat a boss Dark Souls II Guide

Giant Lord is a boss important in terms of the plot and can be found in Memory of Jeigh. He is the leader of giants, bigger, stronger and faster than usual. He also uses an enormous sword. After defeating him, you will receive Giant's Kinship, which is necessary for unlocking the path to the final boss.

Attacks:

• Swing - the giant swings his sword from the front towards the back of him. An attack from above the head may ensue
• Frontal Slam - the enemy steps forward and slams the ground in front of him with his sword
• Frontal Stab - performs a quick stab with the sword
• Stomp - the enemy raises and brings down one of his legs, aiming at the player

Strategy:

Wait until all the bombs land and approach the boss. Place yourself near one of his feet, preferably the left one, and hit a few times. When you see him raising his foot, make a dodge immediately. Practically, this is the only attack that you can be hit by when standing near his foot. Attack 3-4 times and then dodge to avoid being crushed. Always have a little stamina left to perform the roll. Additionally, Giant Lord is vulnerable to fire damage, so if you happen to have pyromancy spells or an enchanted weapon, it is a very good moment to use it.

Rewards:

• 75,000 souls/112,500 souls (NG+)
• Giant Lord Soul
• Giant's Kinship
