Elden Ring – Walkthrough Part 66: Fire Giant & Giant Conqueror's Tomb

In this episode we wrap up the Giant's Mountaintops Region, including the boss. It's important to note that you should not burn the Erdtree until you're 100% ready as you will lose access to the Capital and the associated items there, including 1 legendary armament you need for platinum. Coming up next we're going to the Consecrated Snowfields.

In fire gaint's fight at the beginning I kept focusing on the hand in phase 2 but after many death I changed my strategy and went for the foot and it did work I killed him and he barely toutched me.

what are we even doing in these cat dungeons

If you're a completionist like me out to kill everything in the game at least once, but not much good at the actual fighting (laugh), this area is still totally possible and even really fun with a bit of patience. In the first area, you can lure all the birds and dogs into fights with the trolls. The birds near the church take a bit of coaxing, and you might have to resort to killing the last one with rock sling or arrows (same way you can kill the big handsies). Once the lesser enemies are all dead, the trolls can all be sneaked up on and poison misted one by one. Small handsies can be killed from distance with a spell or arrows. Rock sling is good for the giant ones — try to find a high spot, or if you can't, get a couple shots in from a good distance, run away, come back and repeat. They will only follow so far, so this works to keep you safe while you whittle them away. In the second area (beyond the Foot of the Forge grace), all the trolls can be poison misted except one (the one that's pacing around). Have fun figuring out the correct order and how to get around the ones that throw rocks, and don't trip over the sleeping ones. 😀 (Hint: Assassin's Gambit can be a BIG help in a couple places. The Mimic's Veil can also give you time to look around and plan without being seen.) Same tips for the few handsies that are here. There are fewer pickups, but there is an item guarded by the pacing troll, and some arteria leaves up by the high skull that overlooks the first area. (There are more arteria leaves around, too, often where enemies were.) The one pacing troll can be rock slinged or arrow shot from atop the skull hill near where the rock-throwing troll was, after you take care of that one.

Finally, Okina is a very easy cheese. Just run to the edge of the cliff and find a place to huddle in a corner. Any corner will do, really. He might jump right over you and fall off the cliff immediately, or he might land next to you and you might have to hit him once or twice to knock him off, but either way, he goes off the cliff super easy. His mask is supposed to increase dexterity, but I dunno, HIS balance sure seems poor with it on!

Back for my ps5 plat and I couldn’t be more happier. The rng during this playthrough is outstanding I’ve gotta almost all rare armor and weapons

Two years later and this giant is still an asshole.

Around 24:00, those little hands drop somber 7s btw

I had the disapointment of dying to the Giant the first time (with him having less than 1% health!), but I got it the second time. FUCK YEAH!
This boss was a bitch last time I tried to fight it. Thanks for all the help Cownoy 🙂

9:17 “come on, either come for me or don’t. stop wasting my damn time.” spoken like a true cowboy 🥲😂

i didnt even realise how broken bloodhounds fang is until i beat fire giant after months of trying with rivers of blood on another profile

im abit late to the party but just want to thank you too much for the amazing journey. im pretty new to souls games (couple of months) started off with your sekiro platinum playlist / Lies Of P walk threw and ended up here. you've helped me sooo much with souls games, made me love them. but more importantly you made me laugh sooo many times I lost count, I haven't laughed this hard since my teen age. I love your reactions when you get damaged and I love that sound you do when you try to jump on platforms and there to high 🤣. don't get me started when you call something easy then get smashed just for talking to early 😆. keep up the good work. LOTS OF LOVE FROM UK

Where did you get all those great runes in the beginning?

Damn I did beat the fire giant but seeems like I missed most of that area. Didn't go through all those giants/birds/dogs…or that tomb. Will have to go back.

I'm not even angry… I'm just disappointed. 29:13

Im using the bloodhounds fang and fingerprint shield and for some reason, the shiled wont stance break the cats like it does for you. I cant even get the little tink sound. My Str is the same, agi is a bit higher and poise is higher. I don't know what is happening. The cats keep beating me up. Please help!!!!!

@1:30 if you run towards south west from the Giant's Gravepost, you will reach the Church of Repose with another checkpoint. There's also Sacred Tear to pick. More importantly though, there's another invasion that drops very powerful IMO Rivers of Blood katana. @26:10 at the Fire Giant, one clue guys, you can use horse when he rolls to quickly get behind it.

That weapon hasn’t been nerfed 🙂 thank you for this walkthrough you are the best

Margit/Mohgs shackle will activate/deactivate those pillar traps from different floors and all the way down hallways. So you are not wasting arrows/daggers hitting it to fall/rise. The shackles also reveal hidden walls as well.
As i have just noticed all of this has been around for a year… I have only just started playing. A bit over 200hrs ago…👍✌️

Cowboy bean with u a long time playing elder rings
