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.
