He doesnt die immediately unless its the Medusa Head thats used.

He will walk until hes somewhat close to the settlement and then fall before reaching it.

He can only die after reaching a certain point. After hitting him let him walk until his cutscene death.

Yes :-)

Unmaking arrow to knock off all spikes at once while he is still in the water + first ballista (shoot him several times with it).
This is enough to unlock the achievement and the easiest and fastest way IMO

even if you fire an unmaking arrow that is not enough to kill him, you need to mount a ballista to finish him off. he will stop walking where he is supposed to.

Well idk about Unmaking arrow, i didnt use it on my attempt, but i basically obliterated him (Cause this game's balance is a joke) and it took like a solid min before he reached his destination and fell, man took a while to realize he was dead.

Didnt had to shoot a ballista at all.

Once you knock off the spikes he still needs a set amount of damage. I focused on the head when I got the achievement. My pawns stopped attacking weak points and started just hitting the heel (not the hole) so I think after the spikes are gone you can hit it anywhere.

Big Tip!!! Tell your allies to follow you and not attack the giant when he is by the initial island. They have a high chance of falling into the ocean along the way to the mainland. You will have plenty of time if they help you. A fighter will destroy the spikes super fast.

It also appears to take damage when you shoot the spike, not the purple around it.

It should die just prior to the first town's main wall but I think I got the achievement even though it was a little past it and after the cutscene where the people are on the gondola.

Drop a port crystal near the gigantus for end game! You're in for a surprise if you got the achievement in post game.

I went magic archer, targeted the ones you can while he's in water, then when he's out destroy the two on his feet and leg and let him walk for like 3 minutes until he stops... that's all I've done for all 3 playthroughs.. never once touched a balista... never used unmaking arrow.. just attack them and let him walk..
