Hill Giant Hunting
Written By Bulimic Pig
Special Thanks To allstar31992, Cxkslei, Evolution, lilshu, Martial Fox, michaelmenace, Mr. Bubbles, Neo Avatars, princejake45, sayf, Shamin_Rock, Syco, Warren, Moneylover Hill Giants, otherwise called "Hillies" or "Giants", are very popular to kill for free-to-play players. This is mainly because they are very easy to kill and they have good drops for monsters of their level. Members can kill them for the same reason, but they can also kill Hill Giants for Slayer tasks. They are level-28. Their examination information is, "A very large foe." They hit slowly and use a crush attack. The major drops people want from Hill Giants are Big Bones, which you can bury for 15 Prayer experience or sell for a reasonable amount of money. You may find some low-leveled players running around, picking up drops from Hill Giants that the killers of the Hill Giants didn't pick up. This guide will inform you of everything you need to know about these monsters. There are six places to find Hill Giants. They are in the Varrock wilderness, in the Wilderness Fire Giant Dungeon, inside of the Tree Gnome Village, southwest of the Tree Gnome Stronghold, in the Taverley Dungeon, and in the Edgeville Dungeon. Varrock Wilderness This Hill Giants spot in Varrock wilderness is not a great place to hunt them, since revenants are here, and it's far from a bank. It's located in level 16-19 wilderness.  Wilderness Fire Giant Dungeon Another spot Hill Giants are located is in the Wilderness Fire Giant Dungeon. It is located in the deep wilderness, in level 52. It is only for members.  Tree Gnome Village Maze The spot inside of the Tree Gnome Village Maze isn't used much for killing Hill Giants. It is mostly near the bottom half of the maze. This spot is only for members.  Tree Gnome Stronghold The spot southwest of the Tree Gnome Stronghold isn't used much either. It's very secluded and it is only for members.  Taverly Dungeon Another spot Hill Giants are located is in the Taverley dungeon, south of Taverley. There are many other higher-leveled monsters in the Taverley dungeon, so beware. This spot is only for members.  Edgeville Dungeon
Go down this ladder and follow the path to the room with a Brass Key respawn in it. That room is the room filled with level 24 Zombies to the south of the dungeon. This key allows you to enter the Edgeville dungeon a different way, west of Varrock. This way is easier to get to the Hill Giants.  When you go up the ladder, you should appear in a small hut, which you can only get in or out of by using the Brass Key with the door to unlock it.  The northern half of the Edgeville Dungeon is members-only.  Before going to kill Hill Giants in the Edgeville Dungeon, you will probably need food, as Hill Giants can hit up to a 9 on somebody with a low Defense level. If you don't have food in your bank and you don't want to waste a lot of money on food later on, you can fish for food in Barbarian Village. You will need at least 20 Fishing and a Fly Fishing Rod and some Feathers. You can also use a regular Fishing Rod and Fishing Bait for other fish.
 Players whose Combat level is 60 or higher shouldn't need food for fighting Hill Giants. Hill Giants are pretty easy to kill for most people, but they can't be killed by just everybody. They are level-28 so if that might be a challenge for you, you should at least meet most of these requirements or you'll be in danger. Recommended Stats
Note: For Maging and Ranging, you can have any Magic or Ranging level you want because the recommended stats are for if you don't want to spend a long time trying to kill a Hill Giant. It doesn't matter what your Hitpoints, Defense, or Combat level is because you can mage/range the Hill Giants behind obstacles such as stalagmite and counters in places like the Edgeville Dungeon. For the Taverley dungeon, beware of higher-leveled monsters. You might need to be a higher level. Recommended Items Melee:
Magic:
Ranging:
Hill Giants use a crush attack, so try to wear something reasonably strong against crush attacks. The Ring of Wealth is for getting the better drops more commonly from the Hill Giants. Halberding Another way to kill Hill Giants is to use a Halberd. When a Hill Giant comes, attack it and run behind a counter or some stalagmite. It will follow you, trying to retaliate. When it comes near, start attacking it with your Halberd while it can't hurt you. Examples of Safespots:
Recommended Inventory
Brass key, Fly fishing rod, Feathers, food, Runes for maging, and room for drops. Freeplay Loot
