How to Beat El Gigante


Keep to the Rooftops

Keep to the Rooftops

There will be some Ganados in the combat area but they will be limited to the ground. There will be some supplies on the ground like Green Herbs and Ammo, but for the most part, it is more strategic to stick to the high ground as it gives you a a better shot at aiming for El Gigante's weakspots and puts you out of harm's way of El Gigante's attacks.

Focus Firepower on Parasitic Tentacle

El Gigante Tentacle

Now would be the best moment to use the Blast Crossbow as it delivers damage equivalent to that of a small grenade but with better accuracy. If you have spare grenades, it is better to use it when El Gigante is closer to the rooftops.

Grapple Melee Whenever Possible

Grapple Melee when Possible

Whenever El Gigante is staggered, a button prompt will appear on its head to signal a Grapple Melee opportunity. This opportunity deals far more damage to El Gigante because it directly targets its weakspot.
