I'm done. I've hit my wall
Initially, I really enjoyed this game. But upon reaching the Fire Giant, I'm not enjoying myself. I don't mind a challenge. I love a good, but surmountable, fight. This fight is just so brutally unfair that I've reached the point that I'm done banging my head against the proverbial wall, and only achieving headaches.

So to those of you who have beat him and moved on with the rest of the game, I salute you, but I'm bowing out.

Well Fire Giant was surprisingly easy for me but now i am stuck @ Godskin Duo.....

Fire Giant can be distracted with Jellyfish and the Black Flame Tornado of Godskin weapon i was using did 4-5K damage to him per charged L2....
+ Horse riding makes u evade almost everything.

I think this fight depends a lot on which weapons u are using and how good your build is vs that specific enemy.

IN Phase 2 his Hands take absurd amount of damage with the right weapons.


I was really really afraid of him but did beat him in 12 tries >-<
now i am stuck @ Godskin Duo for 2h.....

i may just sleep arrow cheese the fight which is not fun but its just a bs fight.


So i kinda feel you.
Lategame fights are mostly really terrible

In terms of story conclusion, I couldn't say you were missing too much.

And that foot smelling giant is the beginning of an endgame boss rush that I'd say was the least favorite part of the game (versus exploring).

If you're open to co-op, you might be able to find someone to assist. But understandable if you're depleted the fulfillment factor out of the game too.

May your next journey grant you entertainment and or fulfillment!

uh
which part
cuz i found that one rather easy, first bit just hit his injured leg, second bit hug him and just clobber him, especially if he rears back and starts shooting fireballs into the sky, none of them hit you if you just sit under him

Just make him fall off a cliff

Hit his foot so he falls over and then hit his hand.

Feeling the need to quit over it is pretty extreme. Once I realized the scum bag community was gate keeping this boss, I just walked away until I hunted down mimic summon, (the ONLY person in this game that will correctly help you btw.)

Here's some things I learned in my huge frustration, and confusion.

-PPL are so cheese with status proc most DO NOT know most of him in phase 2 is extremely resistant to all damage short of heavy magic, bleed spam.

Second phase is where I had trouble as well, here is why:
Turns out it creates the illusion you must hit the hands, and body for damage, THIS IS NOT TRUE!
HIS OTHER LEG!!! (omg so annoying,) takes the same damage as phase one SO LONG AS you attack the 'lower' ankle with the big metal ankle bracelet on it.

Do Alexander's questline. He will help you if you have and he's shockingly useful in terms of how tanky he is and how hard he can hit the giant.

He's the easiest boss in the last gauntlet

Figuring out a fight is so tough so giving up is the way to go.
Thats the spirit!!!!!!

Sounds like it's time for you to put the controller down, go play something else. Frustration with a game will lead to you not liking it if you keep forcing yourself to play it. Perhaps you'll come back and find a fresh approach.

Tell me you are a magic user without actually saying it.

You've already faced much harder bosses. Fire Giant is a gimmick boss.

Bro, magic users have an easier time with this fight. They can just ride their horse all day and cast spells from the back of it.
