At 1.1 seconds a swing for 80, sustained contact costs roughly 73 health per second. The charge multiplier takes it from 8 to 17.6 while closing.

Behaviour

Charges

Multiplies its movement speed while closing mid-range distance, then drops back to base speed on contact. Freezing effects are the only reliable brake.

Heavy

Slow to turn and slow to reposition, but absorbs far more punishment than its tier suggests. Kiting works; trading blows does not.

Drops

Coins and experience are awarded separately and are not part of the drop table.

Location

Cloud Giant spawns inside the Big Chungus Steppe, a region of radius 11 centred on 34, 18. It occupies slot 3 of 4 on that spawn table, and being a unique boss it clears only 0.7% of rolls — and only when no other instance is alive. It shares the table with 4 other creatures.

Others on this spawn table

• Beanstalk Sprite 120 HP
• Hill Giant 1,800 HP
• The Giant King 9,000 HP
• Chungus Beast 300 HP

Strategy

• Fight in contact or from well outside its approach band; the middle distance is where it doubles speed.
• Kite it. Trading blows with 2,600 hitpoints on the other side is a losing race.
• At 80 a hit, two connected swings will end most unarmoured players. Armour matters more than damage here.
