Boss description: (15)

Learn the lore and strategy for facing the Last Giant boss in Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin. Understand its history and how it became a formidable foe.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• The Last Giant is located in the Forest of Fallen Giants.
• He is the last of his kind, a remnant of the Giant Lord who once ravaged Drangleic.
• His immense rage, possibly fueled by resentment towards King Vendrick, allows him to remain animated long after defeat.
• He recognizes the player and breaks free of his restraints, driven by an uncontrollable fury.
• A key characteristic is his willingness to tear off his own arm to gain an advantage in combat, highlighting his race's determination.

Phases:

1. The Giant Lord's history is tied to an invasion of Drangleic by King Vendrick, influenced by Nashandra.
2. In retaliation, the Giant Lord invaded Drangleic to reclaim a stolen prize and avenge his losses.
3. This war lasted for generations, devastating the kingdom.
4. The Giants were eventually defeated by an unnamed hero, but the damage to Drangleic was already done.
5. The Giant Lord's remains were dragged beneath the stronghold and sealed away.
6. Over time, he prepared for his final rest, as Giants are said to grow into great trees upon death, continuing a cycle of regeneration.
7. However, his soul remained magnificent, and his hatred for Vendrick and the kingdom prevented true peace.

Strategy:

• When you face the Last Giant, he will recognize you, and his rage will become uncontrollable, allowing him to break free of his restraints.
• Be prepared for a fierce battle that showcases the determination of the Giants.
• Pay attention to his movements; he is known to tear off his own arm to gain an advantage against you. This is a testament to his will and the enduring spirit of his race.
