Step by step

  1. Get a Giant key from Hill giants and unlock the gate west of them in Edgeville Dungeon.
  2. Turn on Protect from Missiles BEFORE climbing down the rocks.
  3. Magic: Snare him at one end, run to the other and cast your best spell. Repeat when he breaks free.
  4. Melee: Dragon scimitar or whip with armour that defends ranged and melee. Faster, more dangerous.
  5. Once dead, use the Giant key on the chest: loot (Hill giant club) and kill count.

Ironman tips

  • 💡 The key is not used up on the gate, only on the chest. Obor drops Giant keys at 1/16: kill him repeatedly without a key to stack them.
  • 💡 Weak to earth (20%). Members: Entangle or Ice spells hold him longer than Snare. Giantsoul amulet drops you at the door.
