On my Dunmer Nightblade, Lvl 11. I snuck up behind him with dual Iron Daggers, and did two sneak dual power attacks in a row, and he dropped dead. This was on Master.
On my Nord Warrior, Lvl 13. I kept shooting him with arrows and when he'd get near, i'd run around a cliff and up on it, making him have to chase me, then when he got close i'd jump back down. Rinse and repeat. I did die though when all of a sudden 3 Thugs showed up when i was fighting the Giant, and between all of them they got me. I had to reload, and then let the Giant take care of the Thugs for me.
