I'm pretty sure Lightning Roar can Stun and Ice Roar can Paralyze - Hiachi 11:06, 7 July 2006 (PDT)

No. Stun can prevent all the TP attacks other than the Catapult. However, gigas seem to be very strong to Ice and Lightning type attacks and Stun is lightning based. -Ayrlie 00:48, 20 August 2006 (CDT)

I just wanted to note that perhaps someone can add that "gigas" is Greek for "giant" and was used to describe the Gigantes, a race of giants in Greek mythology, while Jotuns were a race of giants in Norse mythology. Malumultimus 03:05, 13 March 2007 (EDT)

Limbus Mobs[edit]

before anyone pounces on me for removing the limbus mobs from the NM table... i'd ask anyone, particularly people experienced with limbus, to look past the fact that those mobs are named and compare them to the rest of their respective zones. the four gigas in temenos are in the 'beastmen' tower, in which, on EVERY floor, there are four or more beastman 'NMs'. because of this, despite their names, they compare like normal mobs. none of them are specifically the floor boss, so i classify them as normal mobs.

a case could be made for the apollyon gigas trio, since one of them--although you don't know which one until you kill it--IS the floor boss. but... given the fact that it's a random boss among the three, i'd still like to keep it consistent with every other limbus mob i've marked so far and simply name them normal mobs. if anyone takes issue with this, feel free to discuss it. --Eleri 11:52, 19 April 2007 (EDT)

Possible Weakness[edit]

These guys are weak to earth-based damage, my wyvern confirmed this by using sand breath exclusive ly when i used Smiting Breath on the gigas on the tenth floor of Upper Delkfutt's Tower, including Porphyrion. i have never seen a wyvern over lv40 or so use a breath attack that does not target the mob weakness, and in the case of mobs with no weakness, the breath used is random, making it fairly safe to say these have an earth weakness.
