    Strategy and useful tips:

    The Lord of the Giants is a boss capable of doing very large damage, should it hit you, then pay close attention. Against this boss you will have to adopt a strategy that requires a lot of patience: the enemy suffers little damage and you will not be able to attack him at all times. Learn his moveset well and have your nerve. Know that parrying his blows requires a lot of stamina and a shield capable of "holding" them. From this it follows that it is not convenient to try to parry, but it is advisable to learn where to position yourself to avoid his attacks.

    No more chatter: as soon as you enter the fog you will find yourself in front of a group of giants dedicated to battle and a series of bombs falling from the sky. You will have to advance, avoiding the various blows and the ball that will roll as soon as you are close to the Lord of the Giants. Also beware of the blow the boss will launch as soon as you are in his field of vision. Run up the ladder to your left and drop down by dropping next to him. Stand behind his feet and give him one or two hits at a time, switching feet whenever he tries to trample you. Be careful not to get stuck near the walls and be patient. Proceeding at this rate, the boss in question will die. Overall, however, he is one of Dark Souls II's toughest opponents.
