While Dragon’s Dogma 2 has a lot of monstrous creatures that you need to eliminate, few can compare to the Gigantus. This massive colossus moves slowly across the water, destroying everything in its path. Still, there’s a way to quickly take it out. Here’s our guide on how to get the Gigantus I Hardly Knew Ye achievement in Dragon’s Dogma 2. Likewise, please be reminded that this article contains spoilers.

How to get the Gigantus I Hardly Knew Ye achievement in Dragon’s Dogma 2

The Gigantus I Hardly Knew Ye achievement has this description: “Defeat the Gigantus in a short span of time.” This might seem like a tall order, pun intended, given that this gargantuan walking statue poses quite a challenge.

This activity takes place much later in the game once you’ve completed a quest called A New Godsway. Once you exit the magically sealed doorway south of Bakbattahl, you’ll trigger a cutscene where the Gigantus emerges from the sea. It will slowly walk to Agamen Volcanic Island, lumbering to catch Phaesus and his cohorts.

Note: The “normal” way of defeating the Gigantus requires players to destroy multiple crystals that are protruding from its body. This can be done by (a) climbing on its body and limbs to strike the crystals with melee weapons, or (b) shooting the crystals with ballistae. However, this whole process takes a while–you’ll find that the Gigantus has already made it halfway across the island by the time it’s defeated.

If you dawdle around or take too long, then there’s no way you can get the trophy. This is where the Unmaking Arrow comes into play.
