Boss difficulty: (27)

Learn the lore and strategy for defeating the Last Giant in Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin. Discover its origins and motivations in this detailed boss guide.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Weaknesses: Not explicitly stated, but likely susceptible to standard physical damage. Fire damage may also be effective.
• Resistances: Not explicitly stated.
• Drops: Soul of the Last Giant, which can be used to craft the Giant Warrior Axe.

Phases:

1. The boss fight begins with the Last Giant already enraged and attacking.
2. The Giant may tear off its own arm to use as a weapon, increasing its attack range and damage.

Strategy:

• Stay close to the boss's legs, particularly the one that is not injured. This will allow you to avoid most of its sweeping attacks.
• When the Giant raises its leg to stomp, roll away to avoid the damage.
• If the Giant tears off its arm, be extra cautious as its reach will increase significantly. Continue to stay close to its legs and dodge its attacks.
• Focus your attacks on its legs. The Giant is a large, slow-moving target, making it relatively easy to hit.
• Be patient and don't get greedy with your attacks. Wait for openings and strike when it's safe.
• The Giant is susceptible to backstabs if you can position yourself correctly after it performs certain attacks.
