What Happens if I Use Soul of a Giant?

Dark Souls II, a popular action role-playing game, offers players a unique Souls-based combat system. If you’re new to this game, you might encounter the Soul of a Giant, a valuable item, but do you know how to use it effectively?

What is the Soul of a Giant?

The Soul of a Giant is a Soul item in Dark Souls II, obtained by defeating King Vendrick. This Souls item has two primary effects: it allows for increased damage to King Vendrick and converts into a large quantity of souls.

Effect 1: Increased Damage to King Vendrick

Using the Soul of a Giant against King Vendrick significantly increases your damage output against him. This comes in handy if you haven’t managed to defeat the king without taking excessive damage. However, keep in mind that you’ll still need to defeat two additional bosses after King Vendrick to reach the real final boss of the game.

Important Notes:

• The increased damage effects only apply to King Vendrick and do not translate to other boss fights in the game.
• Don’t assume the Soul of a Giant is a be-all-end-all solution – you’ll still need solid combat skills and strategy.

Effect 2: Converts into a Large Quantity of Souls

If you elect not to use the Soul of a Giant against King Vendrick, it will convert into a vast amount of souls you can use to upgrade equipment, level up, and purchase items from vendors.

Souls Rewards:

• Quantity: 6,000 souls (one of the largest soul rewards in the game)
• Ease of Use: Simply use the Soul of a Giant on a bonfire to convert it

Does Soul of a Giant Carry Over?

Yes, Souls of Giants do carry over to New Game Plus (NG+). For those unfamiliar, NG+ allows you to replay the game with all your gathered souls and experience.

Other Questions Answered:

Fight Ancient Dragon or Vendrick First?

It depends on your personal preference and current progress in the game. If you haven’t fought the Giant Lord or other final boss, you’ll incur additional challenges by killing King Vendrick.

Should You Use Soul of the Giant Lord?

The Soul of the Giant Lord is valuable for future boss fights, but without a compelling reason to waste it, you can decide to save it for last. This decision ultimately falls on your in-game experiences and progress.

TL;DR:

Use Soul of a Giant to defeat King Vendrick for increased damage output (but keep in mind consequences), or transform it into 6,000 souls for strategic use. Carry over those souls to New Game Plus for enhanced replayability and exploration.
