Battle
Gigas uses two physical attacks, Moon Wars and Squash. His first attack, inflicts non-elemental damage to one party member, this attack may it uses up to three times instead of Quake3 when his MP is lower that 68. In the case of Squash attack, which it can use as a counter against magical damage up to three times once its HP drops to HP Critical status. It can also use the powerful Quake3 spell, which can inflict up to 1500-3000 damage. It is advised to use Frog Song to inflict Sleep, then use L4 Suicide to reduce its HP low enough that the next party member can finish it off.
Gigas has the rare Gigas Armlet to steal, and also the extremely rare Earth Mallet to win, which the player can only obtain from the Gigas as long as the player did not steal the Gigas Armlet first.
