Bear in mind that a number of the areas in which this particular boss arises have oil-soaked floors, so pay attention to your surroundings, or you’ll be engulfed in flames rather quickly. In order to do a high amount of melee damage, you’re going to want to get access to its back, which can be done rather simply if you have a high Stamina statistic.

This supremely slow enemy will try to do a number of highly telegraphed melee attacks with his piping hot melee weapon, so being a solid dodger will work in your favor. Fear not though, there are a number of tricks you can employ during your fight against the Undead Giant (whom you likely discovered in the first level of the Pthumerian Chalice Dungeon. In theory, if you’ve stumbled upon this guide, you probably aren’t one of the highly-overpowered Hunters running through Chalice Dungeons in a matter of minutes. However, being able to kill bosses in four or five hits is pretty exciting after being throttled constantly, so it’s entirely up to you how you want to tackle these foes.

Keep in mind that these dungeons don’t scale to New Game Plus, so if you’re looking for the easiest time possible, wait until you’ve finished the main campaign before diving into these random worlds.
