Possible Origin[]
their single eye and tusks semm to relate to the old myth of the cyclops, specifically that the myths were based on finding of mammoth skulls. As seen here: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2003/02/0205_030205_cyclops.html put in trivia? it is Also mentions this book Adrienne Mayor, The First Fossil Hunters: Paleontology in Greek and Roman Times (Princeton University Press) 2000 ISBN 1400838444. --FossilLord 12:16, November 28, 2014 (UTC)
Homing rocks[]
Is it just me or do the large rocks the Giants throw actually track their targets after they've been thrown.
edit: they also bounce towards their targets and cannot be dodged by merely moving out of the way (even if you get behind the Giant as it's just about to throw the rock, it will still hit you) . So unless you use a dodging ability or there's an obstacle in the way, the rock is going to hit it's target. 92.23.200.193 (talk) 16:33, December 18, 2014 (UTC)
Walking treasure chests[]
The one found in the Emerald Grave are walking treasure because they drop a huge list of gear, but farming them can be hazardous or certian death if a stray attack hits one of the nearby Bronto that herd in the same areas the Giants roam around. A small list of what they drop, with level requirements of about 18-19, with them carrying up 8 items (that I can remember)
Battlemaster armour (several varients with a rare chance of the superior version)
Prowler Armour ( several varients with a rare chance of the superior version)
Battlemage armour (several varients with a rare chance of the superior version)
Nevaran Noble sword
qunari slasher (one handed sword)
Valo Kass (two-handed sword)
Grey Warden scout shield
variaous battlemage staffs
Either tier 2 or 3 textile items.
They drop some the best armour in the game I've found without crafting so far. 92.23.177.28 (talk) 20:05, December 26, 2014 (UTC)
Death glitch[]
I've encountered a glitch where killing the giant while it's crouched will cause it to then stand up and remain standing after death. It can still be hit and will make grunts as you do so. It didn't drop any loot - or so I thought, I actually found the loot it dropped quite a large distance away, about a 30 second run towards a location I'd yet to explore.
I uploaded a video of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpOBTehzscE

Redlink[]
The point of leaving the redlink in is to encourage someone to write that page. DaBarkspawn (talk) 20:35, May 9, 2015 (UTC)
Notes inaccuracy[]
The giant fighting vinsomer on the storm coast doesn't necessarily manage to drive off the high dragon. Vinsomer's departure seems to be triggered by the proximity of the party, not anything the giant does. Well, unless it dies. Then the dragon leaves. Crazylace (talk) 19:23, October 3, 2015 (UTC)
