Giant Stone Boss

[DerkySprawl]

So I'm not sure if I'm at the final boss or not, but I'm at the giant in the cave now with a bunch of tiny villians everywhere. I take them all out and then I'm stuck at taking out the big guy before it kills me. I have absolutely no clue on how to do any damage to him or anything. Any ideas?

[Crashboogie]

I'm stuck at the same part. I tried to levitate the unstable crystal towards that middle stone piece in him but it either couldn't get close enough or that's not how to get him. His stone also doesn't have the red lightning around it which would lead me to believe that it may not be about getting the unstable crystal near him, but they're everywhere in the dungeon so it's gotta be something with those. I only tried a couple times last night, so I'll try it again tonight and come back with a non-spoiling hint if I get it. Maybe try a fireball towards his heart to 'activate' him? Gotta be something with those crystals.

Edit - Alrite I got it. Not sure how to hint this without completely giving it away, but you've definitely gotta use those unstable crystals that are scattered around the area. I started messing around with each spell on that crystal thats right next to you when you're dropped into your save point and had the "A-HA!" moment with one of the spells. See if that gets you started down the right path.

Thanks for the spoiler Orpheus, I spent a good 45 minutes trying figure this out and I'm like "of course one of the spells Orpheus, I've been trying levitate the whole ti- oh..."

I've been shooting the Crystals with the forceful kinesis spell but all the stones do is bounce off of the boss's heart shield. How do i get rid of his heart shield?

[fitterstoke]

Same problem here, I understand that I am supposed to push levitate the stones at the giant - BUT it has no effect since the stone giant has a heart shield. How do I get rid of the heart shield??

EDIT: Found out what to do now. The hands.

I'm also quite frustrated. Even on Novice, I die before I can really do much of anything, and I've tried dozens of times. I've had similar problems with the earlier boss. I'm not a seasoned gamer, and it's quite off-putting that I can't even beat it on the lowest difficulty. After reading the hints here, I'll try again, but I'm rapidly losing interest in this game, sadly.

The problem is that despite getting past the red crystal wall, I have no idea what am I supposed to do. Force pushing the crystals does nothing but make them bounce off the shield. Just levitating them near the heart does the same, the red crystals are pushed away. Arrows archive nothing. The boss is far beyond fireball range.

The boss is also either no-threat or cheat-threat with giant boulders from above that you have little warning in avoiding.

The barrier around his heart that's preventing you from destroying it can be removed.

What needs to be done:
The boss has 2 crystals that need to be destroyed to remove that barrier, one in each hand. You have to break those first in order to remove the barrier around his heart.

If you want to know how to accomplish this:
He slams down his hands when you get to some of the platforms nearest him. You can move the crystals onto the center of those platforms and bait his hand onto them to break the crystals in his hands.

As for the boulders that rain down -- If you can see him, you'll know they're coming when he starts rocking side to side. If not, listen for the 3 grunts he makes. You should have about 5 seconds between the time he starts rocking until they're hitting the ground, and their position is set when he starts to rock, so you should have 3-4 seconds to move before you're in much danger. Your sanctuary spell will also protect you from them.

Managed to do it.

Can I make a suggestion?

Have the palm-attacks leave behind "prints" where the crystal's location leaves a glowing mark, as a hint.

[ForceKin]

I like that idea a lot. Definitely gonna do that. Thanks for suggesting it!
