Giant's Red Braid Location
Defeat the Fire Giant and Trade His Remembrance
The Giant's Red Braid is obtained as a Remembrance weapon from defeating the Fire Giant at the Mountaintops of the Giants. Trade the Remembrance of the Fire Giant with Enia at the Roundtable Hold to obtain the Giant's Red Braid weapon.
How to Find the Fire Giant
| 1 |  Progress through the Mountaintops of the Giants until you arrive at the Giants' Gravepost Site of Grace. The Fire Giant is found at the southernmost portion of the region. ⓘ Morgott, the Omen King must be defeated at the Leyndell, Royal Capital to gain access to the Mountaintops of the Giants. |
|---|---|
| 2 |  At the Giants' Gravepost Site of Grace, proceed southwest. You will encounter several giants on the way; stay close to the left side as you go. |
| 3 |  You will come across a fork where you will spot a giant and a giant bird fighting to the west side. Proceed on the left (southeast) from here. |
| 4 |  Continue on and you will spot a giant bird being crushed by a giant Fingercreeper from above. Go past this enemy and claim the Foot of the Forge Site of Grace nearby (behind a giant's frozen corpse) to the south. |
| 5 |  From here, you can enter the Fire Giant's arena from any one of the chains connecting to the area across the ravine. A close one you can go to from the Foot of the Forge Site of Grace is to the northeast. |
| 6 |  Proceed northeast and cross the chain bridge. Once inside, proceed to the southeast until you are near the Fire Giant. ⓘ Iron Fist Alexander's summoning sign can be found inside near the entrance when you have progressed his questline. |
| 7 |  Defeat the Fire Giant to receive the Remembrance of the Fire Giant. The Remembrance can be traded with Enia at the Roundtable Hold to obtain the Giant's Red Braid weapon. |
