How to defeat the Hill Gigas and Hill Goblins?

Dealing with the Hill Goblins will be much easier than the Hill Gigas, so defeating them before starting with the Hill Gigas is recommended. Try to use Eikonic AoE attacks such as Upheaval, as they are good for dealing with the Goblins. Like most monsters in the game, the key to beating the Hill Gigas is countering it after dodging its moves.

The Hill Gigas has a dangerous move where it smashes its club into the ground, causing a shockwave. Try and dodge this attack as soon as you see it lift the club or jump over the shockwaves. It also has another attack where it attacks you directly with the club, which can be dodged easily.

The only fatal attack of the Hill Gigas you need to be wary of is its Big Swing. This attack carries on for a long time. Your best bet to avoid it is to move completely away from the Gigas as soon as it starts. If you are cornered by this move, just try and dodge as many hits as you can before the attack ends.

Follow the above tips, and you can beat the Hill Gigas and Hill Goblin in no time.
