2. Setup

Skill: Dodging Strike: Lv 5 (Lv 4 for Arcade Mode)
Talent: Second Wind: Lv 5

Notes:

• The Giga Slime's HP and Damage is the same on the Arena as it is on Arcade.
  
• You can use this strategy on both Arena and Arcade, since it doesn't require much space to move around.

3. Attack Pattern

• The Giga Slime will almost always jump 3 times towards you before making an attack.
  
• Sometimes, he will jump 5 times before making an attack.
  
• He'll either, summon red slimes or do nothing, but, if you're next to him, he'll always use the hammer attack on you.
  
• On arcade, he'll sometimes swap the order of his attacks, using the hammer first and then spawning slimes after that.
  
• When he loses a certain amount of HP (Every 25% on Arena / 50% on Arcade), he'll start spinning and become invulnerable, so you'll just have to wait untill this phase is over.

4. Dealing Damage

• You'll hit the slime 1 to 2 times with your basic attack, then wait until the Giga Slime jumps.
  
• Wait a few frames while he is on the air, then use Dodging Strike.

5. Avoiding Walls

• Do the same thing as before, but, instead of simply using Dodging Strike, turn backwards and then use the skill.
  
• DO NOT use this when the Giga Slime is using the Hammer Attack, only when he is bouncing.

6. Avoiding Slimes

• Time Dodging Strike correctly to avoid being hit with the hammer and HOLD the skill while walking backwards to get a little bit of distance.
  
• DO NOT use Dodging Strike's Silver Charge on Arcade mode, or else you'll run out of EP!
  
• Face the Giga Slime and wait for him to bounce then release the key/button so you'll go through him.
  
• Wait for him to bounce again, then use Dodging Strike to avoid him.

7. Shield Blocking

• Before the Giga Slime starts to spin, try to take a little bit of distance, until you can fully see your character.
  
• With the Iron Shield without the Bee Card, You'll need at least 2 Perfect Blocks to avoid taking damage on this phase.
  
• If you block normally, wait a few frames before using the shield again, you'll almost garantee a Perfect Block.

> Will you go for 100% achievements?

Maybe, the arcade no damage achievements made me not want to do that tho.

[AlexRobinet]

Will you go for 100% achievements?

[Dan Longname]

Still to this day a good solution to the slime problem.
Unfortunately I haven't beaten it yet in arcade.

Thanks

is it possible to find the red slime after you complete the quest? I want to fight it again in arcade so I can have a better build available in the arcade arena.

I finally beat the Red Giga Slime. Here's video showing it. There are tips for anyone stuck in the description. I know how infuriating this quest is, so here's some help for the people who are still stuck on it.
