Fighting giants
Giants are susceptible to the artifact, Giantslayer, with a 1d5 bonus for your player to-hit and causing double damage.
Giants are considered kebabable, able to be skewered, and you receive a +2 to-hit bonus when using a weapon that uses the spear or javelin skills.
Eating giants
Eating the corpse of any giant (including Cyclops and Lord Surtur, but not titans, ettins or minotaurs[1]), or a tin of any kind of giant meat, will, besides any other effects it may have, increase your strength by the same amount as a (non-cursed) tin of spinach.[2] Unlike spinach, tins of giant meat will provide a strength increase even if cursed.
