Then again, both those things and the giants are loyal to the queen, so it makes sense they might fight side by side.

@Napoleon
Here, let me give you some tips for hunting giants.[sr]First off, try to go for their sensory organs or legs.
[k]

@Napoleon
That's your best bet unless you've got a real powerhouse of a weapon. If so, you can just go for the vitals and take 'em out in one shot!

[charaFadeout B 0.1]
[wt 0.1]

[charaTalk A]
[charaFace A 0]
[charaFadein A 0.1 1]

@Napoleon
That's right. The head's full of sensory organs. Those masks they wear cover up their eyes and noses, and it doesn't look like their hearing is exceptional...
[k]

@Napoleon
...so they might be relying on some kind of sixth sense, or an ability that lets them detect heat sources, but I figure the eyes are a safe bet.
[k]

@Napoleon
So make sure you go for their heads, even if you have to hit 'em through their masks. They're a big target, so it shouldn't be too tough to damage them.
[k]

@Napoleon
When going for the legs,[sr]the knees and ankles are the best targets.
[k]

@Napoleon
The giants' size and mass can be intimidating, but once you've knocked 'em to the ground, they're pretty much sitting ducks.
[k]

[charaFace A 6]

@Napoleon
In other words, there's nothing too special about it.[sr]Just follow best practice.

Can we only win by wiping out the enemy? No. We can't possibly kill every giant and envoy in Scandinavia, and we wouldn't want to.

@Napoleon
So what is your defeat condition?[sr]Easy: you both end up dead.
[k]

@Napoleon
So your only choice is to keep yourselves safe and set about meeting your victory condition.
