How to unlock the Giant Slayer achievement in Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock - Definitive Guide

If you're used to playing on Hard or Expert already, this shouldn't be a problem for you. The only tricky parts are when you have to strum the open notes fast. If you're having a hard time doing this, try focusing on strumming ONLY the open notes, and ignore the few colored notes in between. You will make it through the song just fine. If you're still having trouble, make sure you save all of your StarPower for the sections you have a difficult time on. Remember, you only have to PASS the song, so do whatever you need to to survive, and don't worry about your score or stars. Oh, and of course, play on Hard instead of Expert.

Note: This MUST be done on Quickplay+

Just wanted to add something for those who might be having trouble with this, you can use your Powers from quest mode and still get the achievement. So do the Power Challenge when playing the song in QP+, the achievement also doesn't state that you can't use powers unlike the "Hand Mutilator" achievement. I recommend using Star Power Nova+, so that you get full star power from every successful star phrase hit, and either Speed Freak+ to keep your multiplier at 2 (it will also increase quicker) or Star Power Generator+ so that if you can at least get 10 notes in a row, you can slowly fill the Star Power meter even if you miss the star phrases.

That's a great addition! I didn't know that. Mind if I add it to the solution? I'll put your name on it.

nova+ is the one that gives you 6x your multiplier in star power so i doubt that's what you meant- amplifier might be what you were after?

why would anyone want to use powers for such an easy achievement?

Got this first time of trying on hard without powers (eg Nova, etc), and without even using star power. I saved it just in case, but didn't need it. So really not that hard. And I'm definitely not awesome... If only I could say the same about the Fury Of the Storm hard drums achievement...

Considering the first ime I tried this track on Hard Bass I failed out.. twice... (only finished thanks to my friend on guitar reviving me) it's not as easy as some people would like to make out!
I'd just say the important thing is not to panic with all the open strums and keep star power just in case you need it. :)

Edit: Make sure to use the BASS for this achievement, you wont get it if your use the wrong instrument!
-------------------------------------

Crazy that people are saying to use Star Powers but nobody mentions the obvious... Resurection+ and Streak Guardian+!

You don't need a good score for the achievement so star power is a waste, you just need to get to the end of the song.

Near the start and the end, when the song switches between 3 open notes and a single/double colour note, just skip the colour note and only play the opens, the streak guardian will stop you from losing your rating.

If all else fails you should be able to earn a couple of resurrections along the way to keep you going.

To help promote this solution, this was the first song I played on Hard Bass and the second song that I used the Bass for. I got the achievement first time.

Omg can you believe I was stupid enough to think this had to be done on Hard Guitar.I actually pulled that of and can you imagine the look on my face when no achievement popped ;( Then I took a closer look at your solution and yep indeed, it has to be done on Hard Bass. Tried it like you said with Resurrection+ and Streak Guardian+ and I did it first try! Thx a lot dude, best solution for me and a well deserved upvote from me ;)

How I did it as a medium player:
Play the song once on medium, it isn't too hard.
Then switch to hard, play like you're still on medium. Totally ignore the orange notes and you'll fly through it.
I used Speed Freak and Star Power Generator, but didn't need SP to save myself

In addition to all of the above, if you're like me and start following the guitar instead, use the audio mixer in the options menu to decrease the guitar volume and increase the base, it gives you a more clear line of what youshould be playing.

This trophy isn’t as hard as Chosen One or Hand Mutilator. If you can play guitar on expert, this trophy should be easy. If you are having trouble, save your star power for hard parts and use any 2 powers of your choice.

You probably noticed that when you press START, the notes spin back. During the performance of this song, press START every 5 seconds, in about half an hour you will receive this trophy. I knocked it out the first time, I advise you to try it!

The easiest way to get the trophy is to play Power Challenge (Star Challanges) with Crowd Hyper and Streak Guardian bonuses (preferably level 2). Where there are a lot of spaces, play only them and not pay attention to the notes, and vice versa, where there are a large number of notes, do not play the spaces.
