Gigas in Stellar Blade is one of the several bosses you will encounter during your 20–hour run of the game’s campaign. Players will encounter this particular Alpha Naytiba after they pass through the ruined city, and before heading into the city of Xion.

Battles in Stellar Blade are fast-paced and rather difficult, with the Gigas being no exception. Here is a general strategy you can follow against this particular boss.
The Gigas in Stellar Blade represents the game’s first major spike in difficulty. As such, you must be extremely cautious during Stellar Blade boss battles, opting to make use of parries and dodges as and when necessary.
