Conquering The Forsaken Giant: A Solitary Journey Through Once Human's Monolith

In the hauntingly beautiful desolation of Once Human's post-apocalyptic landscape, where reality bends and strange energies pulse through the air, adventurers seek to test their mettle against formidable challenges. Among these trials, the Monoliths stand as towering beacons of danger and reward, with The Forsaken Giant representing a pinnacle of solo endurance. This colossal entity, slumbering within a structure of ancient power, awaits those brave enough to face it alone, a testament to individual skill in a world often dominated by collective effort.

🔍 Where Shadows Gather: Finding the Monolith

The path to The Forsaken Giant is not always open; it is a journey bound by the turning of the world's phases. A server must have progressed to the fourth phase of its existence, a temporal gate that separates the unprepared from the worthy. From there, the seeker must travel to the stark region of Blackfell, a place nestled within the crimson wastes of the Red Sands. The journey south from this point is a pilgrimage into silence, leading to an area marked by the presence of the Forsaken Monolith itself. The air crackles with latent energy, and the ground tells stories of past battles.

Within the monolithic tower, a stairway spirals upward into shadow, culminating at the Rift Beacon. This artifact hums with potential, the key to awakening the challenge within. Here, the player makes a choice: Normal, Hard, or Pro. For the solitary warrior, the Normal mode is not a sign of weakness, but a wise acknowledgment of the beast's overwhelming power—a level 60 adversary against a capped level 50 human.

⚔️ The Art of Preparation: Gearing for the Impossible

Facing The Forsaken Giant alone is a ballet of preparation where every choice matters.

• Armor Synergy: Random pieces offer scant protection. True resilience comes from a harmonious set where each piece amplifies the others. The Lonewolf armor whispers of independence, while the Falcon set speaks of lethal precision. Sets like Bastille or Raid form a bulwark against the coming storm. The key is unity, a singular defensive purpose.

• The Right Tool for the Titan: Weapon selection is paramount. High fire rate and accuracy are the currencies of survival in this fight. The reliable chatter of an AK or the decisive bark of a revolver, fed with steel or tungsten ammunition, becomes the player's voice against the silence of the giant.

• Ethereal Allies: No one is truly alone with a Combat Deviation cradled close. The Enchanting Void can distort reality, the Lonewolf’s Whisper offers spectral support, and the Polar Jelly brings elemental fury. These companions are crucial for managing the chaos the giant unleashes.

• Consumable Resolve: Potions and elixirs are the difference between standing and falling. The Living Armor consumable, a masterpiece of alchemy, can provide a crucial buffer against the titan's devastating blows.

🎭 The Dance of Destruction: Engaging the Titan

The battle begins not with a roar, but with a shot—a single bullet that stirs the beast from its ancient slumber. Its first response is a monumental fist slam, an attack that is avoided not through strength, but through grace. One must run opposite the impact and roll away from the ensuing shockwave that ripples through the ground, a force that demands a perfectly timed jump to overcome.

This initial aggression reveals the giant's weakness: a glowing red area on its arm. This is the moment to strike, to pour bullets into the vulnerable flesh until the light fades. The giant's next move is a sweeping arm attack, a horizontal arc of destruction. Survival depends on reading the direction and fleeing to the safety of the strange flowers that grow on the platform's edge. As the arm passes, another brief window opens—the palm glows red, inviting another volley of precise fire.

The giant's frustration manifests as tears, which fall and transform. Some become monstrous minions, a task perfectly suited for a summoned Deviation. Others crystallize into glowing orbs of pure energy. These orbs are gifts from the battle itself; they must be collected and hurled back at the giant, especially when it clutches its stomach. A successful hit forces it to reveal its glowing core, another prime target for sustained assault.

The rhythm of the fight is a cycle:

1. Avoid the slam and shockwave.

2. Attack the glowing arm.

3. Evade the sweep.

4. Attack the glowing palm.

5. Manage minions and utilize energy orbs.

💀 The Final Gauntlet: Phases of Escalation

As the giant's health wanes, its tactics evolve. The second phase introduces greater aggression and more frequent summons. The true test comes in the third and final phase, where the giant calls upon The Arbiter, a powerful minion that cannot be ignored. Attention must be split between the primary threat and this new adversary, requiring sharp target prioritization.

The giant also unveils a deadly new technique: it marks the player with a sinister red glow. This is a prelude to a series of targeted fist slams that threaten the integrity of the battlefield itself. The platform is divided into three sections, each capable of withstanding only two impacts before crumbling into the abyss. The game provides merciful warnings, and the player must constantly navigate to the safest ground, a desperate dance atop a disintegrating stage.

Finally, the ground itself rebels. Red beams of energy erupt from glowing sigils, searing anything in their path. The only defense is constant, fluid motion, a sprint away from the emerging danger zones.

Through it all, the strategy remains: attack the weak points, conserve resources, utilize the Deviation, and never stop moving. The Forsaken Giant is a mountain to be climbed alone, a trial of endurance, skill, and preparation. Victory is not guaranteed, but for the solitary warrior who emerges triumphant, the rewards are a fitting tribute to their courage in the face of the apocalypse's most imposing guardian.
