how do you exactly fight a giant?

Post » Fri Jan 07, 2011 6:40 am

If only there were some kind of weapon that has a longer reach than a sword where you could just thrust it at the giant...

ahh something like a big pointy stick, a fishing rod.. no no thats not it... i ust can;t seem to remember with all this shouting

I am kind of curious on how you would fight a giant, in oblivion you would probably spam his ankles with slashing and spells but with how the combat system is now, I think that it would kind of stupid to try to brainlessly attack it.

How would you go about killing a giant?


Im thinking it would go like this;

1) block an attack from the giant, knocking him back for a second
2) sprint around behind the giant and slash across the back of his legs, causing him to fall to his knees
3) decapitate the giant with a backhand swing of your sword

and thats how you take out a giant (I HOPE!)

By giant they mean 8ft. Not 20. -_-

Look up the giants in Daggerfall, they look very similar to the Skyrim giants.

break all of it's joints, all his bones, gouge out his eyes and them kill him by pushing his skull through his brain by throwing a sock at his head.

Alternatively beat it to death with a handful of cockroaches...

...

Slash at it's legs like every other rpg/mmo...

they say that they are the size of the trolls but if you see in the picks they are obvious much bigger.

in all honestly, giants are usually without any flaws apart from speed, and small boys named david..
most times in mythology or other games they have high health, they're strong, they're quite resilient to weapon, and normally pretty imune to magic..

my only guess is use some IRL nord mythology and go Thor like, smashing him the in the head with a hammer.. to find out he was actually hiding behing a hill... :sadvaultboy:

"I have deceived you. It was I who met you in the forest. I used wires to fasten the pack so you couldn't open it to get food. I placed a hill between my head and your hammer that you couldn't see. Those three square valleys you see behind the ridge were the marks you made in the earth with your hammer blows when you tried to hit me. " and who said giants were idiots

hardly naive, I saw in the trailer he took a direct hit from the dragon on his shield, the dragon is much bigger than the giant. The giants are only around 8-10ft tall by the looks of it, so I think you will be able to easily knock back a swing from a giant. therefore, continue with the 3 steps

Mmmmm..? Why are giants always slow or dumb? :confused:


Historically speaking, most giants were inbreds and had alot of genetic defects, and usually were not the brightest individuals.

historically speaking giants didnt exist, and going back to nord paganism some were quite smart, infact the giant i mentioned ealier who managed to trick thor..
"i have deceived you. It was I who met you in the forest. I used wires to fasten the pack so you couldn't open it to get food. I placed a hill between my head and your hammer that you couldn't see. Those three square valleys you see behind the ridge were the marks you made in the earth with your hammer blows when you tried to hit me."
when he met thor for the first time he even stated his name was Skrymir.. so not all giant aren't all slightly slow imbreds.. especiall not nord ones :hubbahubba:

Giant: "Ha ha, little man has no chance against me!"
Dragonborn: "Norok Krah!"
Giant: *becomes a popsicle*

Something along those lines anyway.

How would you go about killing a giant?


If you character's name is Jason Bourne - with a pen, a magazine, or an extension cord...take your pick...any item will do.

If your character's name is Chuck Norris - with no more than a long hard look and a toothpick.

If your character's name is Angus MacGyver - with a contraption built from a wad of well-chewed bubble gum, a blender, a bag of drywall screws, a 12V battery, a remote controlled toycar, three antacid tablets, a plastic tupperware container, a cup of bleach, one roll of duct tape, a piece of chalk and a bottle of lemon juice.

If your character's name is Moira Brown - with a vacuum cleaner, a leaf blower, a firehose nozzle, a conductor and sixteen billiard balls.

And finally...

If your character's name is Tyler Durden - with equal parts of gasoline and frozen orange juice concentrate...shaken, not stirred
