Skyrimguy's weekly guide-how to slay a giant

Welcome everyone to the first 'Skyrimguy's weekly guide' and in this first guide the Skyrim man will be telling you how to defeat a formidable foe, the giant

You will need:

At least 24 levels

An exceptionally good weapon, preferably a orcish or elven two-handed weapon

A lot of health

A lot of potions/good healing spells

Giants are very tough and prove a tough foe to defeat in early levels, but they do provide you with an exciting trip to the moon. When you are at least level 24, collect lots and lots of restoration spells and health potions. Try to get a orcish or elven warhammer, which can be brought from a store at high levels. Seek out a giant camp and slay that beast. They are very hard so here are a few tips on fighting them.

1. DON'T attack their mammoths, especially at low levels

Mammoths may not look it, but they are every bit as tough as their giant friends. If you accidentally strike one, you should just flee the camp and try again in a different giant camp.

2. Keep moving back and forth to avoid being sent to the moon

Giants are deceptively fast, so if you're low on health you have to pray to god you have potions, or a quick healing spell. To avoid their club, keep striking and then retreat back a few paces, before striking again. This makes it easier to defeat giants at lower levels.

3. Bring lots and lots of potions

You'll definitely need them. You're bound to get hit at some point by a club and you may not have time to heal yourself with a spell before you arrive at the moon. So visit the apothecary before fighting a giant.

4. At low levels, seek out camps with one giant

It's a lot easier to defeat one giant at a time than taking on three or four at the same time. There are a few camps around the world which have one giant in. In camps that have two giants in, you could defeat the first giant but die because the second giant sent you to the moon. At low levels, always do this.

5. DON'T bring a follower!!!

Probably the most obvious one of all. You may think your follower will help you defeat the giants but it's a very high chance they'll go to the moon and never come back. Even at high levels, don't bring a follower, you'll save yourself lots of regret. If you really must bring one, get a dark brotherhood assassin as if they die you can get another one.

Hope the Skyrimguy has helped you defeat giants
