Giant Monsters at night?

[Hurtbringer]

I'm lvl 8 they're 30+ am I supposed to come back later in the game and fight them at night?

They're Daemons, they only appear at night or in dark places. Don't bother fighting them now, they don't really stop spawning anyway.

[CatPerson]

You can try to take them on if you want just to check it out. Or you can run. Up to you. :)

They just populate the world at night like that ... they're not specific quests to take of or anything.

[Shenfang]

Yeah you're supposed to go to rest areas at night. Just find a camp or a motel, rest and carry on in the morning. Night hunting will come a lot later on.

[Ceriss]

You could kill one if you have enough items and play carefully... buuuut only if it's just one, more than one and it's simply not possible.

They give like 753 exp if I recall.

Run like hell until you're either the same level or feel confident enough to take them on.

I find them funny to beat and i'm lvl 61 on ps4 pro lol But at low level? Run for it xD

It's doable, it's just resource heavy.

I beat one in the demo a few days ago at around the same level.

It was rough though. Loooots of potions used. Fortunately there was a warp point nearby.

Yup it's why everyone in game tells you not to go out at night. It's possible to survive and win, but your best bet for now is to stay away.

If you have a hunt that's at night (there are a few in the beginning areas) you can camp out a nearby camp, and then rush towards the target. As long as you run out of the aggro range of the deamons that spawn (which is shown by a red circle on the map) you'll be fine.

If you absolutely must fight the ones at the beginning, I suggest bringing Blizzard for the bombs, and constantly pair up with Gladio since the Iron Giants are weak against two handers. Neeever go ham on the iron giants though, cuz they can one-shot you if you're not careful. Pick your openings.

Heh, you were braver than I was. I played it safe and kept my distance for most of the fight, abusing magic.

I beat the Bandersnatch too but I haven't beaten a red giant before.

[Hurtbringer]

I don't believe anyone who says they can beat a level 30 giant at level 8. It took me 15 minutes to beat 5 level 14 slimes at level 7. Even if it was possible it would probably take over an hour. But it isn't because you are liars!

You are supposed to avoid them until you can take them. Make camp.

You can totally kill them from low levels but its pretty tough.

It's also super not worth it aside from just having fun, because the enemies in this game aren't a great source of EXP without expericast.

Just cause you couldn't do it doesn't mean we couldn't.

I also beat the Bandersnatch at around level 11 mind you, it took the entire in game day.

I can't afford the game until the end of the month so I did everything there is to do in the demo, found the two weapons, beat the giant scorpion, Iron giant, and Bandersnatch.

I'll probably not bother with the Red Giant though since he's immune to everything you have at that point.

I know the Bandersnatch gave me around 2.5k at level 11ish.

Gladio gives you like 400-500 something just training though and he's MUCH easier to beat.
