In order to finally reach the final phase of Dark Souls II it is necessary to make a real journey through time. Yes, you got it right. At a certain point in history it will be necessary to travel in time, in what is a real memory of one of the giants scattered around the land of Drangleic. In this memory it is possible to meet and, above all, to face one of the most fascinating bosses of the FromSoftware creature: the Lord of the Giants.
Strategy and useful tips:
The Lord of the Giants is a boss capable of doing very large damage, should it hit you, then pay close attention. Against this boss you will have to adopt a strategy that requires a lot of patience: the enemy suffers little damage and you will not be able to attack him at all times. Learn his moveset well and have your nerve. Know that parrying his blows requires a lot of stamina and a shield capable of "holding" them. From this it follows that it is not convenient to try to parry, but it is advisable to learn where to position yourself to avoid his attacks.
No more chatter: as soon as you enter the fog you will find yourself in front of a group of giants dedicated to battle and a series of bombs falling from the sky. You will have to advance, avoiding the various blows and the ball that will roll as soon as you are close to the Lord of the Giants. Also beware of the blow the boss will launch as soon as you are in his field of vision. Run up the ladder to your left and drop down by dropping next to him. Stand behind his feet and give him one or two hits at a time, switching feet whenever he tries to trample you. Be careful not to get stuck near the walls and be patient. Proceeding at this rate, the boss in question will die. Overall, however, he is one of Dark Souls II's toughest opponents.
Attacks:
- Sweep: the Lord of the Giants uses his broadsword to try to hit you with two or three slashes.
- Shock wave: the boss uses his greatsword to create a powerful shockwave that hits straight in front of him; you can dodge it by rolling sideways.
- Stomp: the Lord of the Giants will try to trample you when you are near one of his feet; dodge it because it does a lot of damage.
- Close sweeps: when you are below him, the boss will try to hit you by sweeping the sword around him.
Drop:
- Soul of the Lord of the Giants.
- 75000 souls.
- Ring of the Giants +2 (in NG +).
Exploring the past of the fallen ruler, Vendrick, it is possible to ascertain an important truth: humans have declared war on the giants. Vendrickin fact, obscured by the diabolical energy that clouded his judgment, he decided to invade the distant land of the giants, to draw on their power in an attempt to preserve the human race. Exploring the mind of the fallen giant located in, in fact, Forest of Fallen Giants, it is possible to relive the salient phase of the invasion of the giants themselves who decided to take revenge on humans and their ruler. It is thought that, even, the same Yhorm, one of the four lords of Dark Souls III, is somehow related to the boss in question. He remains, in all cases, one of the toughest and most fascinating bosses in all of Dark Souls II.
