Stellar Blade, a popular action game, features Gigas as the first main Alpha Naytiba that players will have to fight. Gigas is a challenging boss with a spiked, circular head, whose attack pattern resembles that of a gorilla or ape. New players to this style of action game may find it particularly difficult to defeat him.
To help players overcome this ferocious boss, useful tips have been put together. These include focusing on blocking and parrying attacks, as Gigas uses heavy attacks with wind-ups that can be parried easily. Players can also use Beta attacks to cancel Gigas’ attacks. Whenever Gigas uses unblockable attacks, players should dodge several times. When an attack has a blue glint, players can Blink behind Gigas if they time it correctly.
Players must be careful as Gigas can easily overwhelm them, thanks to its rapid flurry of slams and swipes. Blocking or parrying everything besides a few attacks is effective in breaking it down. Blocking one or two of Gigas’ simple fist slams that form his basic combo string can stun it briefly. Players should also watch out for its unblockable yellow attacks, such as the earthquake, where they must dodge to the right or left two-to-three times, and the rock throw, where they must dodge two or three times after it grabs the rock.
At the mid-point of the fight, Gigas will start jumping towards the players, which are difficult to dodge. Healing up as soon as players are hit by unblockable attacks is recommended. Gigas also has a final unblockable attack in the middle of a regular attack combo that players must dodge backward three times or more to avoid getting caught in its slams and swipes.
Whenever Gigas performs an attack with a blue glow, players should use Blink, which will stun it out of its combo. At the midpoint of the fight, Gigas will get flaming fists, causing pools of magma to build up during slams and large attacks. To defeat Gigas, players must learn its attack patterns to make quick work of it.
After defeating Gigas, players can continue the main story and complete more requests. They can also solve puzzles and find passcodes to get all the benefits of the game
