| Found in | Infinity Blade II |
The Bog Giant is a giant enemy introduced in the Vault of Tears update for Infinity Blade II. It can be found at the bottom of the dam in Saranthia, disguised as a tree stump. When the Vile Blade stuck in the trunk is tapped, the Bog Giant emerges and the battle begins. It fights at an abnormally fast pace, and has a few unique moves.
It is generally treated as a boss enemy. Unlike most enemies, the Bog Giant's level is unaffected by the player's Rebirth level. It instead levels each time it is defeated. It attacks with the same element as the current cycle's bosses (ice for the first repeat, shock for the second repeat, etc). If Raidriar has been defeated on the current file, it will resist all elemental attacks except Crystal and Holy.
When the Bog Giant is defeated, it transforms into the Moss Golem. Siris does not have an opportunity to decline the fight or use items between the two battles. It is therefore recommended to have a ring with healing properties, like Thorne or Kward.
Fury Chains[]
Some of the Bog Giant's special moves are its Fury Chains. Many of these are unblockable using heavy weapons and will deal heavy damage to your health if you equip a light weapon, so it is recommended that you use a dual weapon. One of its most special fury chains is when it turns around and falls on its back. The falling in itself is an attack, and the two other attacks, when he swings his right arm then his left arm around at you, are unblockable and unparryable (unless you have the Parry All Attack gem equipped), so the only way to avoid taking high damage is to equip a dual weapon and duck both attacks. The second time you duck, a dodge break will occur, giving you 5-8 hits using dual weapons.
