Boss description: (27)

Learn the lore and strategy for defeating the Last Giant, the sole surviving Giant of the Cardinal Tower siege, in Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin. Discover its history and motivations.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• The Last Giant is susceptible to fire damage.
• Its primary weak point is its legs, particularly the one that is broken and exposed.
• It can be staggered by repeated attacks to its legs.

Phases:

1. The boss initially appears as a large, broken, and seemingly passive giant.
2. Upon approach, it recognizes the player and becomes enraged, initiating the fight.
3. During the fight, it will use its massive arms to swipe and slam the ground.
4. It may also rip off its own arm to use as a weapon if it becomes advantageous.
5. The giant can be staggered by attacking its legs, creating an opening for critical damage.

Strategy:

• Stay close to the giant's legs, specifically the broken one, to avoid its sweeping attacks.
• Focus attacks on its legs to build up stagger.
• When staggered, move in to land critical hits.
• Be wary of its ground slams and arm swipes.
• If it rips off its arm, be extra cautious as it will use this as a powerful club.
• Use fire-based attacks or weapons if available to maximize damage.
