The Soul of a Giant is a soul in Dark Souls II.
In-Game Description
- The soul of a Giant who came to conquer Drangleic.
- Will the Giants' resentment for the King be pacified in death, or only emboldened?
- Can be used to acquire souls, only...
Availability
There are five Souls of Giants to be found:
- One can be found on a Giant's corpse at the end of the Memory of Jeigh (to access, the player has to defeat the Giant Lord).
- One can be found on a Giant's corpse at the end of the Memory of Orro.
- One can be found on a Giant's corpse at the end of the Memory of Vammar.
- One can be found in a hidden cave in the Black Gulch, dropped by one of the Elite Giants.
- One is dropped by the Ancient Dragon upon its death.
Usage
Each Soul of a Giant can be used to gain 10,000 souls. However, if the player holds on to them, they'll reduce Vendrick's defense multiplier by half for each soul held:
| Number of Souls of a Giant | Vendrick's defense multiplier |
|---|---|
| 0 | 32x |
| 1 | 16x |
| 2 | 8x |
| 3 | 4x |
| 4 | 2x |
| 5 or more | 1x |
Notes
- Souls of a Giant that are collected in NG will remain in the player's inventory in NG+ and beyond.
- It's possible to farm Souls of a Giant by burning a Bonfire Ascetic at the Black Gulch Mouth bonfire (the first one) and then defeat the Elite Giants in the underground cave of the Black Gulch (doesn't work in Scholar of the First Sin).
- It's also possible to farm them from the Ancient Dragon by burning a Bonfire Ascetic at the Shrine Entrance bonfire to make him respawn.
