Pre-Boss Fight Preparation
Getting ready to take on Gigantus in Dragon’s Dogma 2 involves some strategic pre-boss fight preparation. Here are some tips to help you get ready:
- Stock up on stamina recovery items like Harspuds, Dried Spuds, Dried Fruits, and Roborants to ensure you have enough stamina for climbing.
- Consider using items that provide the Vigor buff to reduce stamina drain while climbing.
- Bring along an Archer, a Mage, and a Thief to your party for optimal results.
- Keep your overall weight to a minimum to reduce stamina drain during actions.
Gigantus Mechanics
Understanding the mechanics of the Gigantus boss fight is crucial for success. Here are some key points to keep in mind:
- Begin the fight with a cutscene once you cross the Moonswax Bridge and reach the tip of the island.
- Focus on climbing Gigantus once you and the boss make it to the main island.
- Target Gigantus’ weakspots, marked by spikes around its body, and destroy them to weaken the boss.
- Prioritize spikes on the upper torso of Gigantus, including the left chest, right shoulder, back, upper left arm, and right eye.
- Utilize the ballistae at the Volcanic Island Camp to deal with weakspots and stagger Gigantus.
- Take advantage of environmental staggers to make climbing easier and destroy remaining spikes.
Best Vocations for Gigantus
Choosing the right vocation can make a significant difference in the Gigantus boss fight. Here are some recommendations:
- The Thief vocation is well-suited for this fight due to its passive Vigor augment and Controlled Fall ability.
- The Archer vocation can also be effective, although the fight may take longer.
- If climbing isn’t your preference, consider using the Wayfarer vocation to float onto the boss with a Mage staff before switching to a melee weapon.
