Stellar Blade

Story-related, cannot miss.

The Gigas boss will be your fourth boss fight of Stellar Blade, and will take place after you step foot into the Crater section on Eidos 7 - at the end of the “Scavenger Adam” main quest. 

While Gigas is the fourth boss, it’ll be the first Alpha Naytiba you have to take down. Believe it or not, though, I actually found the Gigas boss fight to be easier than the previous boss fight against the Corrupter.

The key to absolutely rinsing Gigas and defeating it with ease is to Perfect Parry the gorilla-like enemy’s attacks. Now, I’d recommend Focus Boost (to make the Perfect Parry easier) for one, but honestly, the attacks are so telegraphed you shouldn’t really need that. You only need 10 Perfect Parries to inflict Groggy on Gigas, and a Retribution attack will then take off about 25% of its health.

The thing with Gigas is that he’s slow. So, get up close and personal, and when he raises an arm (which will likely be out of shot), anticipate the Perfect Parry. In fact, he’ll usually combo (on a rhythm) 5 attacks, meaning you can get 5 in a row if you’re good enough. Other than that, watch out for when he jumps high and rolls backward; and watch out for his blue lethal attack too, and dodge through it (provided you have Blink, and even better, have Threat Detection as well).

Last note: at 60% health, he’ll enter his second phase and harness lava through its veins. The moves are largely the same, but they definitely hit harder. Other than that, not much else to Gigas. As soon as it breathed his last breath, the ‘Gigas’ trophy will unlock.
