Hill Gigas (Final Fantasy II)

The Hill Gigas is an optional boss, and later, enemy in Final Fantasy II. It is first encountered on the Dreadnought inside a treasure chest, but later appears as a regular enemy.

Strategy
The first battle with a Gigas can be a surprisingly difficult one, if you're not ready for it. Like most creatures of his type, he is a muscle-bound brute with a high attack stat. He doesn't cast any spells, instead relying on a constant physical barrage. Depending on your character's HP levels, he may be able to knock them out in one hit. He also boasts very high defense and magic defense stats, making it difficult to land substantial hits on him. However, the Hill Gigas is easily put to sleep, and if you picked up the Sleep Blade early on in the Dreadnought, you can equip it and attack the giant to give him a nap while you hack away at him. Make sure to cast Blink and Protect on your party to reduce the damage the Hill Gigas will dish out.
