Stone Giant

Stone Giant

Stone Giants are monsters usually encountered in rocky regions, such as the Edge of the World in Original Dink. They move slowly, but they are strong, have a long range and high defence. They are also hostile, going after the player as soon as he enters the screen. Stone giants are sometimes called rock monsters.

In the original game, stone giants can be difficult to damage when first encountered, as the player doesn't yet have access to many strong weapons and magic, such as the Light Sword, Heavy Bow and Hellfire. On screens that have more than one stone giant, a working tactic is to get them to attack each other, as they have 35 strength to a (in comparison) low 18 defense, and 60 hitpoints.

Stone giants give 400 experience points when killed, the most of any generic monster in the game, along with dragons.
