BarefootWarrior Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I with you on this one and I have yet been able to bring a giant down. I have tried various ways including archery at a distance. If I get to close, next thing I know I'm flying through the air...dead. *sigh :whistling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerghan Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Dragons are easier to kill than a single mammoth or giant...um...cough cough epicbethesdafail coughReally? They're easy as hell for my fighter character. I use a shield and a 1 hander. I can block their attacks, even those power attacks that shake the ground, and take almost no damage. I can stagger them with a shield bash over and over again and get hits in before they can retaliate. Mages on the other hand are an entirely different story.

Farlo Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 What's odd is that I've actually seen a dragon and a giant battle it out and the giant won without losing more than half it's health. It is kind of weird since the world lore claims they're so powerful, but I guess this is just another sacrifice realism has to make for the sake of game play. Also, given that the dragon in the intro pretty much wreaks Helgen, I think they're a lot more powerful in the lore than the game is able to show us for technical reasons.

Spencer4678 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 If you're in the werewolf beast form then the fight will be a breeze. But I do agree with you, Dragons are weak as hell. Even fighting the allegedly stronger dragons near the end of the main story line took little to no effort, especially if you have another NPC distracting them.

AmberIndia Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Sorry for reviving an old post. I killed 2 Giants that were at Secunda's Kiss with the help of Lydia, I was only Level 4. I lured them to the water and attacked them from there. They and Mammoths are more intimidating than Dragons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponyboy10 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 It was a crowning achievement when I took down my first giant. I try not to attack unprovoked, but after being on the business end of giant wac-a-mole too many times, i snuck up behind one with Lydia and Uthgerd backing me up, probably before even hitting level 10, and bashed it into submission by the time it had chance to turn around.
