At what lvl did you beat your first giant?

How is that trolling?

If you're going to accuse people of trolling, know what trolling is and provide evidence.

Ps. You misused "your", the word you were looking for is "you're".

Thank you for your lesson of English!

I appreciate it! :)

Also, don't add the sauce to a trollfest. :run:

Level six. I hid inside the doorway of a small watchtower at a fort and popped dozens of arrows at it (since it couldn't get to me). Then I led his friend over there and did the same (along with their Mammoths). Got about five levels of free Marksman training that way.

level 5
was a mage
it was epic
death was only inchs away all the time
ground rumbling

fighting stuff knowing that death is only a few (even a single) hit away is great

Level one. It felt "It sure is boring fun standing on this rock and spamming flame spell".

I didn't attack a giant til I was at lvl 19 nord warrior, but it got more tempting as I kept passing by them.

About level 8, I just stood on the cliff of that giant camp outside whiterun and shot them with arrows while they ran into the wall unable to reach me. It was really boring and took forever, not that exciting,

best way to fight a. giant. 1 on 1. club vs sword or hammer. a hand weapon. something made of metal or orcish glass.

Level 6. Used a bow from a ledge of a mountain. 2 giants and 3 mammoths. Took like 20 minutes.


Sounds a lot like my first giant kill, at level 8. I was walking from Whiterun to Riften, when i took a wrong turn near Vallheim Towers and ended up in a giant camp. I didn't know that they weren't aggressive, and i thought I had to get past them. So I hopped up on a rock and sniped at them. With longbow and about level 20 archery. I had Lydia with me, and every now and again she'd go flying past after being hit by one of the two giants there. I eventually wore them down and killed them, but it took ages.

On my warrior my first "normal" kill was at around level 20-25.
By normal i mean without kiting around half the area in a "hit & run" manner and/or exploiting elevated terrain. Just straight up in-your-face combat.

Otherwise, you can kill a giant just about as soon as you wrap things up at Helgen.

I was very low level, but I had Lydia so it could not have been that low?

The giant would have wasted us, but we were standing on a slight rock shooting bows at it. We should have packed a lunch.

Around level 37. I came across him running from a dragon. He helped me kill the dragon and a wolf that happened across us. While running from him, I came upon my first mammoth. I managed to get on a boulder and kill off the giant and the mamouth. Turns out it was the Tumble pass giant, so I had a bounty to collect when it was all over.

About level 6-7, Spam sparks and Lightning bolt on both Giants and mammoths. Also did it on my Assassin, took quite a bit of arrows. Forelhost <3 (enemies in that place carry like 99 ancient nord arrows each)

Without confusing its AI it was at level 5. I charged it with a war-hammer and bashed the everlasting [censored] out of it on my orc with berserker rage.

Level 4 killed 2 giants and mammoths..I had Lydia's help and I led the giants into dawn star and the guards started to help, so I guess that doesn't count :(

Level 2.

I attacked it. Then I realised I was in waaay over my head. I panicked and fled but it followed me. I then jumped on a stack of rocks and discovered it couldn't hurt me there. Then I killed it with fire. :flamethrower:

Even though standing on a pile of rocks to kill something felt like a cheap shot, I did it to survive. After that it took me a while before I dared take one on again, in a fair fight that is.

Before I even started playing - my character leaped off the character generation page, ran outside Whiterun, killed two giants with his bare hands, and then came back so I could finish modifying his nose.

Just thought I'd get that in before more people jump in with the "level one, it was too easy even on master because I'm so awesome" usual line of claptrap.

Don't remember exactly. Was probably 12ish on my rogue. Did a sneak then kited the rest of the way. Took a bit. Did it as a lvl 6 on my mage with kiting and rock laming.
