Level Up And Gear Yourself Before Taking On This Challenge

Before attempting challenges from Chronoliths in different locations, take note that you won't be able to use your Eikon Abilities. While auto combo accessories are allowed, if you find the challenge difficult, it is recommended to reevaluate your Gear Equipment and consider leveling up.

How To Use Feat And Abilities

FeatHow To Use
Titanic BlockTitanic Block[Feat]
Can be used to block enemy attack. When a guard is timed perfectly, □ button can be used to launch up to three counterattack.
Raging FistsRaging FistsThe number of attacks increases by repeatedly pressing the button. There is a guard performance upon activation, and the performance is significantly improved when executing a successful Just Guard. It is primarily used for countering, but it can also be used during 100% Staggered.
UpheavalUpheavalAlthough it is a wide-range attack, it cannot be used frequently due to the time required for charging. Maximizing the charge and unleashing the attack when the enemy approaches can deal a lot of damage. Thanks to its high firepower, it remains effective even against individual targets.
WindupWindupCharging is required, but it allows for an extremely powerful attack. It works great for dealing high damage to bosses, and even when used without charging, it still deals decent damage, making it a good choice for regular battles.
Earthen FuryEarthen Fury It has a wide range and high power, but the cooldown time is extremely long. In boss battles, it's considered good if you can use it twice, so it's recommended to use it as an opening move or as a finishing move.

Just like in Stage 1-1 in the start, move forward and use Upheaval to deal with the regular enemies. Since only the head of Adamantos is vulnerable, try to get close and aim for Magic Burst bonuses. Windup is recommended to be used when the Will Gauge is half and the enemy is 50% Staggered.

When its front leg is raised, aim for a Titanic Block. If you're unsure about the timing, it's better to guard as a precautionary measure to prevent taking damage. Watch the movements a few times to get a better sense of the timing.

First, let's take care of all the long-range attacking bomb attacks. Since they appear at a distance, let's take them down one by one using melee attacks like Lunge, Burning Blade and Punish. Once only the Marshal remains, it will be easy to aim for a Titanic Block.

If you are hit by an execution, you should exit early to avoid a barrage of attacks, even if you have to Limit Break.

Iron Giant Boss Walkthrough & Tips

Boss Walkthrough
1Use Evade and Titan Blocks (Raging Fists)
2Earthen Fury is used while 100% Staggered

Alternate Between Using Evade And Counter Abilities

Use Evade for long-range attacks or explosive attacks, while use Counter for close-range attacks with swords. By alternating between Evade and Counter in this way, battles will be shorter and much easier to handle.

Use Earthen Fury During 100% Staggered

Earthen Fury has a long cooldown and can only be used once. Therefore, it is recommended to use it when the boss gets 100% Staggered, where it can deal the most damage.
